Subject: [PATCH tip v8 0/5] Simple wait queue support

From: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@...-carit.de>

Hi,

This version of the series got some compile time. I tried
to weed out the incompatible-pointer-types warning in mainline.
In the last verison I included two patches to fix those warnings.
In the meantime these patches are either already in mainline
or on the way. I found a couple more of them and sent out fixes.
Overall it looks quite good on that front. So I don't think
-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types will be a big desaster. Famous last
words...

I was able to build alpha, arm32, arm64, cris10, frv, ia64, mips32,
mips64, m68k, ppc64, s390, sparc32, sparc64, um_x86_64 and x86_64 with
toolchains I got. There are a comple of missing architectures though
like avr32, blackfin, cris32, m32r, parsic, parsic64, ppc32, sh32,
sh64, tile and xtensa for which I have toolchains but they are broken
in some way beyound easy fixing.

These patches are against

  tip/sched/core 3223d052b79eb9b620d170584c417d60a8bfd649

also available as git tree:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wagi/linux.git tip-swait

cheers,
daniel

changes since v7:
 - dropped random fixes for incompatible-pointer-types warning
 - sent out patches for fixing incompatible-pointer-types warnings

changes since v6:
 - fixed a couple of incompatible-pointer-types errors
 - fixed a missing KVM ARM wait -> swait update

changes since v5:
 - unconditionally add -Werror=incompatible-pointer-types
 - updated KVM statistics in commit message
 - rebased on tip/sched/core 
 - added ack-by PeterZ

changes since v4:
 - replaced patch #2 which tried to force to compiler to
   exit with an error by using compile time assertion type
   check macros. Instead use -Werror=incompatible-pointer-types
   to tell the compiler to barf loudly.
 - fixed wrong API usage in patch 4 as reported by Boqun.

changes since v3
 - rebased it on tip/sched/core (KVM bits have changed slightly)
 - added compile time type check assertion
 - added non lazy version of swake_up_locked()

changes since v2
 - rebased again on tip/master. The patches apply
   cleanly on v4.3-rc6 too.
 - fixed up mips
 - reordered patches to avoid lockdep warning when doing bissect.
 - remove unnecessary initialization of rsp->rda in rcu_init_one().

changes since v1 (PATCH v0)
 - rebased and fixed some typos found by cross building
   for S390, ARM and powerpc. For some unknown reason didn't catch
   them last time.
 - dropped completion patches because it is not clear yet
   how to handle complete_all() calls hard-irq/atomic contexts
   and swake_up_all.

changes since v0 (RFC v0)
 - promoted the series to PATCH state instead of RFC
 - fixed a few fallouts with build all and some cross compilers
   such ARM, PowerPC, S390.
 - Added the simple waitqueue transformation for KVM from -rt
   including some numbers requested by Paolo.
 - Added a commit message to PeterZ's patch. Hope he likes it.

[I got the numbering wrong in v1, so instead 'PATCH v1' you find it
 as 'PATCH v0' series]
