David S. Miller 919ee677b6 [SPARC64]: Add NUMA support.
Currently there is only code to parse NUMA attributes on
sun4v/niagara systems, but later on we will add such parsing
for older systems.

Mike Travis d5a7430ddc Convert cpu_sibling_map to be a per cpu variable
Convert cpu_sibling_map from a static array sized by NR_CPUS to a per_cpu
variable.  This saves sizeof(cpumask_t) * NR unused cpus.  Access is mostly
from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions.

David S. Miller a2f9f6bbb3 [SPARC64]: Fix {mc,smt}_capable().
It's not just sun4v hypervisor platforms that should return true
for this, sun4u with UltraSPARC-IV should return true too.

David S. Miller f78eae2e6f [SPARC64]: Proper multi-core scheduling support.
The scheduling domain hierarchy is:

   all cpus -->
      cpus that share an instruction cache -->
          cpus that share an integer execution unit

Siddha, Suresh B 5c45bf279d [PATCH] sched: mc/smt power savings sched policy
sysfs entries 'sched_mc_power_savings' and 'sched_smt_power_savings' in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/ control the MC/SMT power savings policy for the
scheduler.

Based on the values (1-enable, 0-disable) for these controls, sched groups
cpu power will be determined for different domains.  When power savings
policy is enabled and under light load conditions, scheduler will minimize
the physical packages/cpu cores carrying the load and thus conserving
power(with a perf impact based on the workload characteristics...  see OLS
2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..)

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!
