2011-09-21hwspinlock/omap: simplify allocation schemeOhad Ben-Cohen
Instead of allocating every hwspinlock separately, allocate them all in one shot. This both simplifies the driver and helps achieving better slab utilization. Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Ohad Ben-Cohen <ohad@wizery.com>
2011-09-21hwspinlock/core: simplify 'owner' handlingOhad Ben-Cohen
Use struct device_driver's owner member instead of asking drivers to explicitly pass the owner again. This simplifies drivers and also save some memory, since there's no point now in maintaining a separate owner pointer per hwspinlock. Signed-off-by: Ohad Ben-Cohen <ohad@wizery.com>
2011-09-21hwspinlock/core: simplify KconfigOhad Ben-Cohen
Simplify hwspinlock's Kconfig by making the global CONFIG_HWSPINLOCK entry invisible; users will just select it when needed. This also prepares the ground for adding hwspinlock support for other platforms (the 'depends on ARCH_OMAP4' was rather hideous, and while we're at it, a dedicated menu is added).

2011-03-18hwspinlock: depend on OMAP4Ohad Ben-Cohen
Currently only OMAP4 supports hwspinlocks, so don't bother asking anyone else. Signed-off-by: Ohad Ben-Cohen <ohad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>
2011-02-17drivers: hwspinlock: add OMAP implementationSimon Que
Add hwspinlock support for the OMAP4 Hardware Spinlock device. The Hardware Spinlock device on OMAP4 provides hardware assistance for synchronization between the multiple processors in the system (dual Cortex-A9, dual Cortex-M3 and a C64x+ DSP).

2011-02-17drivers: hwspinlock: add frameworkOhad Ben-Cohen
Add a platform-independent hwspinlock framework. Hardware spinlock devices are needed, e.g., in order to access data that is shared between remote processors, that otherwise have no alternative mechanism to accomplish synchronization and mutual exclusion operations.
