2006-06-26[PATCH] x86_64: Fix race in cpu_local_* on preemptible kernelsAndi Kleen
When a process changes CPUs while doing the non atomic cpu_local_* operations it might operate on the local_t of a different CPUs. Fix that by disabling preemption. Pointed out by Christopher Lameter Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-31[PATCH] make local_t signedAndrew Morton
local_t's were defined to be unsigned. This increases confusion because atomic_t's are signed. The patch goes through and changes all implementations to use signed longs throughout. Also, x86-64 was using 32-bit quantities for the value passed into local_add() and local_sub(). Fixed. All (actually, both) existing users have been audited.

2005-04-16[PATCH] x86_64: Correct wrong comment in local.hAndi Kleen
local_t is actually a win over atomic_t because it does not need lock prefixes. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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!
