Jan Beulich 8d379dad8f [PATCH] annotate arch/x86_64/lib/*.S
Add unwind annotations to arch/x86_64/lib/*.S, and also use the macros
provided by linux/linkage.h where-ever possible.

Some of the alternative instructions handling needed to be adjusted so
that the replacement code would also have valid unwind information.

Andi Kleen 7bcd3f34e2 [PATCH] x86_64: Undo the earlier changes to remove unrolled copy/memset functions
They cause quite bad performance regressions on Netburst
This is temporary until we can get new optimized functions
for these CPUs.

This undoes changes that were done in 2.6.15 and in 2.6.16-rc1,
essentially bringing the code back to 2.6.14 level. Only change
is I renamed the X86_FEATURE_K8_C flag to X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD
and fixed the check for the flag and also fixed some comments.

Andi Kleen a5b250a428 [PATCH] x86_64: Remove optimization for B stepping AMD K8
B stepping were the first shipping Opterons. memcpy/memset/copy_page/
clear_page had special optimized version for them. These are really
old and in the minority now and the difference to the generic versions
(using rep microcode) is not that big anyways. So just remove them.

TODO: figure out optimized versions for Intel Netburst based EM64T

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!
