Message-ID: <20111128233212.GA32279@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:32:12 -0800 From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> To: mutt@...ux.vnet.ibm.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: mingo@...e.hu, laijs@...fujitsu.com, dipankar@...ibm.com, akpm@...ux-foundation.org, mathieu.desnoyers@...ymtl.ca, josh@...htriplett.org, niv@...ibm.com, tglx@...utronix.de, peterz@...radead.org, rostedt@...dmis.org, Valdis.Kletnieks@...edu, dhowells@...hat.com, eric.dumazet@...il.com, darren@...art.com, patches@...aro.org Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/13] Preview of yet more RCU changes for 3.3 Hello! This patchset adds to the pair that were previously posted earlier this month (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/2/363 and https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/15/302). This third set adds more rcutorture capabilities to ease automated testing under KVM (randomized CPU hotplug operations), updates Frederic's user-mode nohz RCU infrastructure, adds tracing for RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, makes a number of improvements to RCU_FAST_NO_HZ suggested by the resulting traces, speeds up TREE_RCU's dyntick-idle identification, and provides documentation updates. The patches are as follows: 1. Add randomized CPU-hotplug capability to rcutorture. 2. Decouple turning off the scheduler tick and informing RCU of CPU idleness (courtesy of Frederic Weisbecker). 3,4,12. Documentation updates, with the addition of load/store atomicity guarantees (#3) being of the most widespread interest. 5. Add event tracing for RCU_FAST_NO_HZ. 6,7,8,9,10,11,13. RCU_FAST_NO_HZ improvements suggested by event-tracing output.
