[PATCH] ppc64: Implement CONFIG_PREEMPT
This implements CONFIG_PREEMPT for ppc64. Aside from the entry.S changes to check the _TIF_NEED_RESCHED bit when returning from an exception, there are various changes to make the ppc64-specific code preempt-safe, mostly adding preempt_enable/disable or get_cpu/put_cpu calls where needed. I have been using this on my desktop G5 for the last week without problems. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
