Subject: [patch 0/3] Per cpu relocation to ZERO and x86_32 percpu ops on x86_64
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:43:05 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071130064305.459255715@sgi.com> (raw)
This patchset allows the use of x86_32 percpu ops on x86_64 while maintaining
%gs pointing to the pda. It does that by moving the x86_64 pda into
the percpu area (thereby pointing %gs at the per cpu area) and then
relocating the x86_64 per cpu variables to start at 0.
Patch applies on top of the per cpu cleanup patches V2.
See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119628478316525&w=2
Ultimately I think we can make the per cpu accessors arch independent
(see the RFC at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119552126330405&w=2).
There is a performance benefit from using these in core code.
