* x86/fpu: Remove fpu__restore()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior2019-04-091-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are no users of fpu__restore() so it is time to remove it. The comment regarding fpu__restore() and TS bit is stale since commit b3b0870ef3ffe ("i387: do not preload FPU state at task switch time") and has no meaning since.

* Documentation: preempt-locking: Use better exampleAndrew Murray2018-10-121-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing wording implies that the use of spin_unlock whilst irqs are disabled might trigger a reschedule. However the preemptible() test in preempt_schedule will prevent a reschedule if irqs are disabled. Lets improve the clarity of this wording to change the example from spin_unlock to cond_resched() and cond_resched_lock() as these are functions that will trigger a reschedule if the preempt count is 0 without testing that irqs are disabled. Also remove the 'Last Updated' line as this is not up to date and better tracked via GIT. Signed-off-by: Andrew Murray <andrew.murray@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
* preempt-locking.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab2017-07-141-15/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - mark titles; - mark literal blocks; - adjust identation where needed; - use :Author: for authorship.

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!
