The compiler generally generates reasonable inline code for the simple cases and for the rest it's better for code size for them to be out of line. Also there they can be potentially optimized more in the future. In fact they probably should be in a .S file because they're all pure assembly, but that's for another day. Also some code style cleanup on them while I was on it (this seems to be the last untouched really early Linux code) This saves ~12k text for a defconfig kernel with gcc 4.1. Signed-off-by:

Jan asked to always use the builtin memcpy on gcc 4.3 mainline because it should generate better code than the old macro. Let's try it. Cc: Jan Hubicka <jh@suse.cz> Signed-off-by:

In acpi_scan_nodes(), we immediately return -1 if acpi_numa <= 0, meaning we haven't detected any underlying ACPI topology or we have explicitly disabled its use from the command-line with numa=noacpi. acpi_table_print_srat_entry() and acpi_table_parse_srat() are only referenced within drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we can mark them as static and remove their prototypes from the header file. Likewise, pxm_to_node_map[] and node_to_pxm_map[] are only used within drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we mark them as static and remove their externs from the header file. The automatic 'result' variable is unused in acpi_numa_init(), so it's removed. Signed-off-by:

Linux 64bit only uses the IO-APIC ID as an internal cookie. In the future there could be some cases where the IO-APIC IDs are not unique because they share an 8 bit space with CPUs and if there are enough CPUs it is difficult to get them that. But Linux needs the io apic ID internally for its data structures. Assign unique IO APIC ids on table parsing. TBD do for 32bit too Signed-off-by:

Fix a bug introduced with the CLFLUSH changes: we must always flush pages changed in cpa(), not just when they are reverted.

Fixes STN LCD support for the atmel_lcdfb framebuffer driver. This patch is the result of a work from Jan Altenberg and has been tested on a Hitachi SP06Q002 on at91sam9261ek. It adds a Kconfig switch that enables the proper LCD in the board configuration file (STN or TFT). The switch is used in arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9261_devices.c & board-sam9261ek.c as an example. This patch includes the "Fix wrong line_length calculation" little one from Jan and Haavard (submitted earlier). AT91 platform informations are directly submitted trough the at91 maintainer, here : http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/543158Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support for the Simtek STK17TA8 timekeeping chip. The STK17TA8 is quite similar to the DS1553, but differs in register layout and in various control bits in the registers. I chose to make this a new driver to avoid confusion in the code and to not get lost in #ifdefs. Signed-off-by:

Various people have expressed surprise that their modular RTC drivers don't seem to work for initializing the system time at boot. To help avoid such unpleasantness, make the Kconfig text point out that the driver probably needs to be statically linked. Signed-off-by:

The version of SLOB in -mm always scans its free list from the beginning, which results in small allocations and free segments clustering at the beginning of the list over time. This causes the average search to scan over a large stretch at the beginning on each allocation. By starting each page search where the last one left off, we evenly distribute the allocations and greatly shorten the average search. Without this patch, kernel compiles on a 1.5G machine take a large amount of system time for list scanning. With this patch, compiles are within a few seconds of performance of a SLAB kernel with no notable change in system time. Signed-off-by:

After discussing w/ Thomas over IRC, it seems the issue is the sched tick fires on every cpu at the same time, causing extra lock contention. This smaller change, adds an extra offset per cpu so the ticks don't line up. This patch also drops the idle latency from 40us down to under 20us. Signed-off-by:
