      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.
