2009-12-14locking: Convert __raw_spin* functions to arch_spin*Thomas Gleixner
Name space cleanup. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: linux-arch@vger.kernel.org
2009-12-14locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlockThomas Gleixner
The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt. Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin, atomic_spin or whatever No functional change.

2009-01-20x86: remove byte locksJiri Kosina
Impact: cleanup Remove byte locks implementation, which was introduced by Jeremy in 8efcbab6 ("paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation"), but turned out to be dead code that is not used by any in-kernel virtualization guest (Xen uses its own variant of spinlocks implementation and KVM is not planning to move to byte locks).

2008-12-08x86: fix default_spin_lock_flags() prototypeIngo Molnar
these warnings: arch/x86/kernel/paravirt-spinlocks.c: In function ‘default_spin_lock_flags’: arch/x86/kernel/paravirt-spinlocks.c:12: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘__raw_spin_lock’ from incompatible pointer type arch/x86/kernel/paravirt-spinlocks.c: At top level: arch/x86/kernel/paravirt-spinlocks.c:11: warning: ‘default_spin_lock_flags’ defined but not used showed that the prototype of default_spin_lock_flags() was confused about what type spinlocks have. the proper type on UP is raw_spinlock_t.

2008-08-22x86: export pv_lock_ops non-GPLJeremy Fitzhardinge
None of the spinlock API is exported GPL, so there's no reason for pv_lock_ops to be. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: drago01 <drago01@gmail.com>
2008-08-20x86/paravirt: add spin_lock_flags lock opJeremy Fitzhardinge
It is useful for a pv_lock_ops backend to know whether interrupts are enabled or not in the context a spin_lock is being called. This allows it to enable interrupts while spinning, which could be particularly helpful when spinning becomes blocking. The default implementation just calls the normal spin_lock op, ignoring the flags. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-07-24x86: split spinlock implementations out into their own filesJeremy Fitzhardinge
ftrace requires certain low-level code, like spinlocks and timestamps, to be compiled without -pg in order to avoid infinite recursion. This patch splits out the core paravirt spinlocks and the Xen spinlocks into separate files which can be compiled without -pg. Also do xen/time.c while we're about it. As a result, we can now use ftrace within a Xen domain. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
