Andi Kleen	e5bc8b6baf	[PATCH] x86-64: Make remote TLB flush more scalable ... Instead of using a global spinlock to protect the state of the remote TLB flush use a lock and state for each sending CPU. To tell the receiver where to look for the state use 8 different call vectors. Each CPU uses a specific vector to trigger flushes on other CPUs. Depending on the received vector the target CPUs look into the right per cpu variable for the flush data. When the system has more than 8 CPUs they are hashed to the 8 available vectors. The limited global vector space forces us to this right now. In future when interrupts are split into per CPU domains this could be fixed, at the cost of needing more IPIs in flat mode. Also some minor cleanup in the smp flush code and remove some outdated debug code. Requires patch to move cpu_possible_map setup earlier.

Linus Torvalds	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!	20 years ago
