Subject: [ANNOUNCE] 3.8-rc2-nohz2


Hi,

Here is a new version of the full dynticks patchset based on 3.8-rc2.
It addresses most feedbacks I got on the previous release (see the list of changes
below).

Thanks you for your reviews, they are really useful!

This version is pullable at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git
	3.8-rc2-nohz2

For the details on how to use it, check this link:
https://lwn.net/Articles/530345/ on the section "How to use".

Changes since 3.8-rc1-nohz1:

* Let the user choose between CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE and
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN if both are available (thanks Li Zhong).
[patch 03/33]

* Move code that export context tracking state to its own commit to
make the review easier (thanks Paul Gortmaker) [patch 02/33]

* Rename vtime_accounting() to vtime_accounting_enabled() (thanks
Paul Gortmaker) [patch 04/33]

* Fix vtime_enter_user / vtime_user_enter confusion. (thanks Li Zhong)
[patch 03/33]

* Fix grammar, spelling and foggy explanations. (thanks Paul Gortmaker)
[patch 04/33]

* Fix "hook" based naming (thanks Ingo Molnar) [patch 01/33]

* Fix is_nocb_cpu() orphan declaration (thanks Namhyung Kim) [patch 22/33]

* Add full dynticks runqueue clock debugging [patch 29-30/33]

* Fix missing rq clock update in update_cpu_load_nohz(), thanks to the
debugging code on the previous patch. [patch 32/33] That's not yet a full
solution for the nohz rt power scale though.

* Partly handle update_cpu_load_active() [patch 33/33] (we still have to handle
calc_load_account_active)


TODO list has slightly reduced and also slightly grown :)

- Handle calc_load_account_active().

- Handle sched_class->task_tick()

- Handle rt power scaling

- Make sure rcu_nocbs mask matches full_nohz's.

- Get the nohz printk patchset merged.

- Posix cpu timers enqueued while tick is off. Probably no big deal but
I need to look into that.

- Several trivial stuffs: perf_event_task_tick(), profile_tick(),
sched_clock_tick(), etc...

Enjoy!
