[PATCH] fix various kernel-doc in header files

2007-01-26T21:51:00+00:00

Fix a number of kernel-doc entries for header files in include/linux by
making sure they begin with the appropriate '/**' notation and use @var
notation.

[PATCH] round_jiffies infrastructure

2006-12-10T17:57:22+00:00

Introduce a round_jiffies() function as well as a round_jiffies_relative()
function.  These functions round a jiffies value to the next whole second.
The primary purpose of this rounding is to cause all "we don't care exactly
when" timers to happen at the same jiffy.

This avoids multiple timers firing within the second for no real reason;
with dynamic ticks these extra timers cause wakeups from deep sleep CPU
sleep states and thus waste power.

The exact wakeup moment is skewed by the cpu number, to avoid all cpus from
waking up at the exact same time (and hitting the same lock/cachelines
there)

[PATCH] kill __init_timer_base in favor of boot_tvec_bases

2006-03-31T20:18:52+00:00

Commit a4a6198b80cf82eb8160603c98da218d1bd5e104:
	[PATCH] tvec_bases too large for per-cpu data

introduced "struct tvec_t_base_s boot_tvec_bases" which is visible at
compile time.  This means we can kill __init_timer_base and move
timer_base_s's content into tvec_t_base_s.

[PATCH] hrtimers: remove data field

2006-03-26T16:57:03+00:00

The nanosleep cleanup allows to remove the data field of hrtimer.  The
callback function can use container_of() to get it's own data.  Since the
hrtimer structure is anyway embedded in other structures, this adds no
overhead.

[PATCH] add_timer() of a pending timer is illegal

2005-10-31T01:37:21+00:00

In the recent timer rework we lost the check for an add_timer() of an
already-pending timer.  That check was useful for networking, so put it back.

[PATCH] remove timer debug field

2005-10-31T01:37:18+00:00

Remove timer_list.magic and associated debugging code.

I originally added this when a spinlock was added to timer_list - this meant
that an all-zeroes timer became illegal and init_timer() was required.

That spinlock isn't even there any more, although timer.base must now be
initialised.

I'll keep this debugging code in -mm.

[PATCH] introduce setup_timer() helper

2005-10-31T01:37:17+00:00

Every user of init_timer() also needs to initialize ->function and ->data
fields.  This patch adds a simple setup_timer() helper for that.

The schedule_timeout() is patched as an example of usage.
