2008-04-17Generic semaphore implementationMatthew Wilcox
Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the unlikely() was unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-17kill DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKEDChristoph Hellwig
DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED was used for semaphores used as completions and we've got rid of them. Well, except for one in libusual that the maintainer explicitly wants to keep as semaphore. So convert that useage to an explicit sema_init and kill of DECLARE_MUTEX_LOCKED so that new code is reminded to use a completion.

2005-09-25[PATCH] powerpc: merge semaphore.hBecky Bruce
powerpc: Merge semaphore.h Adopted the ppc64 version of semaphore.h. The 32-bit version used smp_wmb(), but recent updates to atomic.h mean this is no longer required. The 64-bit version made use of unlikely(), which has been retained in the combined version. This patch requires the recent atomic.h patch.
