      x86: Remove unnecessary check in detect_ht() · 8b27f2ff
      Nikhil P Rao authored 
      This patch removes a check that causes incorrect scheduler
domain setup (SMP instead of SMT) and bootlog warning messages
when cpuid extensions for topology enumeration are not supported
and the number of processors reported to the OS is smaller than
smp_num_siblings.

      x86: Reorder mm_context_t to remove x86_64 alignment padding and thus shrink mm_struct · af6a25f0
      Richard Kennedy authored 
      Reorder mm_context_t to remove alignment padding on 64 bit
builds shrinking its size from 64 to 56 bytes.

This allows mm_struct to shrink from 840 to 832 bytes, so using
one fewer cache lines, and getting more objects per slab when
using slub.

slabinfo mm_struct reports
before :-

      x86, UV: Clean up uv_tlb.c · f073cc8f
      Cliff Wickman authored 
      SGI UV's uv_tlb.c driver has become rather hard to read, with overly large
functions, non-standard coding style and (way) too long variable, constant
and function names and non-obvious code flow sequences.

This patch improves the readability and maintainability of the driver
significantly, by doing the following strict code cleanups with no side
effects:

 - Split long functions into shorter logical functions.

 - Shortened some variable and structure member names.

 - Added special functions for reads and writes of MMR regs with
   very long names.

 - Added the 'tunables' table to shortened tunables_write().

 - Added the 'stat_description' table to shorten uv_ptc_proc_write().

 - Pass fewer 'stat' arguments where it can be derived from the 'bcp'
   argument.

 - Function definitions consistent on one line, and inline in few (short) cases.

 - Moved some small structures and an atomic inline function to the header file.

 - Moved some local variables to the blocks where they are used.

 - Updated the copyright date.

 - Shortened uv_write_global_mmr64() etc. using some aliasing; no
   line breaks. Renamed many uv_.. functions that are not exported.

 - Aligned structure fields.
    [ note that not all structures are aligned the same way though; I'd like
      to keep the extensive commenting in some of them. ]

 - Shortened some long structure names.

 - Standard pass/fail exit from init_per_cpu()

 - Vertical alignment for mass initializations.

 - More separation between blocks of code.

Tested on a 16-processor Altix UV.

      x86, UV: Add support for SGI UV2 hub chip · 2a919596
      Jack Steiner authored 
      This patch adds support for a new version of the SGI UV hub
chip. The hub chip is the node controller that connects multiple
blades into a larger coherent SSI.

For the most part, UV2 is compatible with UV1. The majority of
the changes are in the addresses of MMRs and in a few cases, the
contents of MMRs. These changes are the result in changes in the
system topology such as node configuration, processor types,
maximum nodes, physical address sizes, etc.
