All of the in-tree uses of list_for_each_rcu() have been converted to list_for_each_entry_rcu(), so list_for_each_rcu() can now be removed. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Hello! Compared tip/core/rcu to my latest patchset, and found the following issues: o the memory barrier in rcu_exit_nohz() somehow got out of place (it is correct in mainline as of 2.6.26-rc7). o There is a duplicate declaration of rcu_dyntick_sched. The attached patch fixes these. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This patch simplifies the locking and memory-barrier usage in the Classic RCU grace-period-detection mechanism, incorporating Lai Jiangshan's feedback from the earlier version (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/1/400 and http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/3/43). Passed 10 hours of rcutorture concurrent with CPUs being put online and taken offline on a 128-hardware-thread Power machine. My apologies to whoever in the Eastern Hemisphere was planning to use this machine over the Western Hemisphere night, but it was sitting idle and... So this is ready for tip/core/rcu. This patch is in preparation for moving to a hierarchical algorithm to allow the very large SMP machines -- requested by some people at OLS, and there seem to have been a few recent patches in the 4096-CPU direction as well. The general idea is to move to a much more conservative concurrency design, then apply a hierarchy to reduce contention on the global lock by a few orders of magnitude (larger machines would see greater reductions). The reason for taking a conservative approach is that this code isn't on any fast path. Prototype in progress. This patch is against the linux-tip git tree (tip/core/rcu). If you wish to test this against 2.6.26, use the following set of patches: http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/patches/2.6.26-ljsimp-1.patch http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/patches/2.6.26-ljsimpfix-3.patch The first patch combines commits 5127bed5 and 3cac97cb from Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com>, and the second patch contains my changes.

this is a diagnostic patch for Classic RCU. The approach is to record a timestamp at the beginning of the grace period (in rcu_start_batch()), then have rcu_check_callbacks() complain if: 1. it is running on a CPU that has holding up grace periods for a long time (say one second). This will identify the culprit assuming that the culprit has not disabled hardware irqs, instruction execution, or some such. 2. it is running on a CPU that is not holding up grace periods, but grace periods have been held up for an even longer time (say two seconds). It is enabled via the default-off CONFIG_DEBUG_RCU_STALL kernel parameter. Rather than exponential backoff, it backs off to once per 30 seconds. My feeling upon thinking on it was that if you have stalled RCU grace periods for that long, a few extra printk() messages are probably the least of your worries... Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This patch provides support for the _PSD ACPI object in the Powernow-k8 driver. Although it looks like an invasive patch, most of it is simply the consequence of turning the static acpi_performance_data structure into a pointer.

Back when .gitignore file was added to arch/powerpc/ in 06f2138e ([POWERPC] Add files build to .gitignore, 2006-11-26), there indeed was nothing tracked in the ignored hierarchy and ignoring everything made sense. But we have very many tracked files there these days, and having a higher level .gitignore that ignores everything is asking for future troubles..
