60063497a9 atomic: use <linux/atomic.h>
This allows us to move duplicated code in <asm/atomic.h>
(atomic_inc_not_zero() for now) to <linux/atomic.h>

bac9caf016 asm-generic: fix local_add_unless macro
`local_add_unless(x, y, z)' will be expanded to `(&(x)->y, (y), (x))', but
`&(x)->y' should be `&(x)->a'

ba84be2338 remove linux/hardirq.h from asm-generic/local.h
While looking at reducing the amount of architecture namespace pollution
in the generic kernel, I found that asm/irq.h is included in the vast
majority of compilations on ARM (around 650 files.)

Since asm/irq.h includes a sub-architecture include file on ARM, this
causes a negative impact on the ccache's ability to re-use the build
results from other sub-architectures, so we have a desire to reduce the
dependencies on asm/irq.h.

It turns out that a major cause of this is the needless include of
linux/hardirq.h into asm-generic/local.h.  The patch below removes this
include, resulting in some 250 to 300 files (around half) of the kernel
then omitting asm/irq.h.

My test builds still succeed, provided two ARM files are fixed
(arch/arm/kernel/traps.c and arch/arm/mm/fault.c) - so there may be
negative impacts for this on other architectures.

Note that x86 does not include asm/irq.h nor linux/hardirq.h in its
asm/local.h, so this patch can be viewed as bringing the generic version
into line with the x86 version.

5e97b9309b local_t: architecture independent extension
This series extena and standardises local_t operations on each architecture,
allowing a rich set of atomic operations to be done on per-cpu data with
minimal performance impact.  On architectures where there seems to be no
difference between the SMP and UP operation (same memory barriers, same
LOCKing), local.h simply includes asm-generic/local.h, which removes
duplicated code from the current kernel tree.

This patch:

2cf8d82d63 [PATCH] make local_t signed
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.

(Also s/__inline__/inline/ in x86_64/local.h)

f5f5370da4 [PATCH] Decrapify asm-generic/local.h
Now that Christoph Lameter's atomic_long_t support is merged in mainline,
might as well convert asm-generic/local.h to use it, so the same code can
be used for both sizes of 32 and 64-bit unsigned longs.

akpm sayeth:

Q:

  Is there any particular reason why these routines weren't simply
  implemented with local_save/restore_flags, if they are only meant to
  guarantee atomicity to the local cpu?  I'm sure on most platforms this
  would be more efficient than using an atomic...

A:

  The whole _point_ of local_t is to avoid local_irq_disable().  It's
  designed to exploit the fact that many CPUs can do incs and decs in a way
  which is atomic wrt local interrupts, but not atomic wrt SMP.

But this patch makes sense, because asm-generic/local.h is just a fallback
implementation for architectures which either cannot perform these
local-irq-atomic operations, or its maintainers haven't yet got around to
implementing them.

We need more work done on local_t in the 2.6.17 timeframe - they're defined as
unsigned long, but some architectures implement them as signed long.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
