This patchset simplifies the code that arches need to maintain to support per cpu functionality. Most of the code is moved into arch independent code. Only a minimal set of definitions is kept for each arch. The patch also unifies the x86 arch so that there is only a single asm-x86/percpu.h V1->V2: - Add support for specifying attributes for per cpu declarations (preserves IA64 model(small) attribute). - Drop first patch that removes the model(small) attribute for IA64 - Missing #endif in powerpc generic config / Wrong Kconfig - Follow Randy's suggestions on how to do the Kconfig settings - Rediff against 2.6.24-rc3-mm2 -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
