b00742d399 [PATCH] x86-64: Account for module percpu space separately from kernel percpu
Rather than using a single constant PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM, compute it as
the sum of kernel_percpu + PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE.  This is now common
to all architectures; if an architecture wants to set
PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM to something special, then it may do so (ia64 is
the only one which does).

a666ecfbf5 [PATCH] Fix typo in "syntax error if percpu macros are incorrectly used" patch
Trivial typo fix in the "syntax error if percpu macros are incorrectly
used" patch.  I misspelled "identifier" in all places.  D'Oh!

Thanks to Dirk Mueller to point this out.

0891a8d706 [PATCH] __percpu_alloc_mask() has to be __always_inline in UP case
...  or we'll end up with cpu_online_map being evaluated on UP.  In
modules.  cpumask.h is very careful to avoid that, and for a very good
reason.  So should we...

PS: yes, it really triggers (on alpha).

7ff6f08295 [PATCH] CPU hotplug compatible alloc_percpu()
This patch splits alloc_percpu() up into two phases.  Likewise for
free_percpu().  This allows clients to limit initial allocations to online
cpu's, and to populate or depopulate per-cpu data at run time as needed:

  struct my_struct *obj;

  /* initial allocation for online cpu's */
  obj = percpu_alloc(sizeof(struct my_struct), GFP_KERNEL);

  ...

  /* populate per-cpu data for cpu coming online */
  ptr = percpu_populate(obj, sizeof(struct my_struct), GFP_KERNEL, cpu);

  ...

  /* access per-cpu object */
  ptr = percpu_ptr(obj, smp_processor_id());

  ...

  /* depopulate per-cpu data for cpu going offline */
  percpu_depopulate(obj, cpu);

  ...

  /* final removal */
  percpu_free(obj);

632bbfeee4 [PATCH] trigger a syntax error if percpu macros are incorrectly used
get_cpu_var()/per_cpu()/__get_cpu_var() arguments must be simple
identifiers.  Otherwise the arch dependent implementations might break.

This patch enforces the correct usage of the macros by producing a syntax
error if the variable is not a simple identifier.

f867bac654 [PATCH] remove unused blkp field in percpu_data
I found that blkp field was not used in kernel tree.

As most of the times NR_CPUS is a power of two and kmalloc() memory blocks
too, this extra field basically doubles the memory space allocated in
__alloc_percpu() to store the 'struct percpu_data'

(for example, if NR_CPUS=8 on i386, kmalloc(4*8+4) returns a 64 bytes block
instead of a 32 bytes block after this patch)

f9f7500521 [PATCH] slab: remove unused align parameter from alloc_percpu
__alloc_percpu and alloc_percpu both take an 'align' argument which is
completely ignored.  snmp6_mib_init() in net/ipv6/af_inet6.c attempts to use
it, but it will be ignored.  Therefore, remove the 'align' argument and fixup
the lone caller.

66341a905e [PATCH] Shut up per_cpu_ptr() on UP
Currently per_cpu_ptr() doesn't really do anything with 'cpu' in the UP
case.  This is problematic in the cases where this is the only place the
variable is referenced:

  CC      kernel/workqueue.o
  kernel/workqueue.c: In function `current_is_keventd':
  kernel/workqueue.c:460: warning: unused variable `cpu'

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
