2008-05-23ftrace: trace preempt off critical timingsSteven Rostedt
Add preempt off timings. A lot of kernel core code is taken from the RT patch latency trace that was written by Ingo Molnar. This adds "preemptoff" and "preemptirqsoff" to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers Now instead of just tracing irqs off, preemption off can be selected to be recorded. When this is selected, it shares the same files as irqs off timings. One can either trace preemption off, irqs off, or one or the other off. By echoing "preemptoff" into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer, recording of preempt off only is performed. "irqsoff" will only record the time irqs are disabled, but "preemptirqsoff" will take the total time irqs or preemption are disabled. Runtime switching of these options is now supported by simpling echoing in the appropriate trace name into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer.

2008-05-23ftrace: add preempt_enable/disable notrace macrosSteven Rostedt
The tracer may need to call preempt_enable and disable functions for time keeping and such. The trace gets ugly when we see these functions show up for all traces. To make the output cleaner this patch adds preempt_enable_notrace and preempt_disable_notrace to be used by tracer (and debugging) functions.

2007-07-26[PATCH] sched: arch preempt notifier mechanismAvi Kivity
This adds a general mechanism whereby a task can request the scheduler to notify it whenever it is preempted or scheduled back in. This allows the task to swap any special-purpose registers like the fpu or Intel's VT registers.

2005-12-22[PATCH] fix race with preempt_enable()Nicolas Pitre
Currently a simple void foo(void) { preempt_enable(); } produces the following code on ARM: foo: bic r3, sp, #8128 bic r3, r3, #63 ldr r2, [r3, #4] ldr r1, [r3, #0] sub r2, r2, #1 tst r1, #4 str r2, [r3, #4] blne preempt_schedule mov pc, lr The problem is that the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is loaded _before_ the preemption count is stored back, hence any interrupt coming within that 3 instruction window causing TIF_NEED_RESCHED to be set won't be seen and scheduling won't happen as it should. Nothing currently prevents gcc from performing that reordering. There is already a barrier() before the decrement of the preemption count, but another one is needed between this and the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag test for proper code ordering.

2005-11-14[PATCH] m68k: thread_info header cleanupAl Viro
a) in smp_lock.h #include of sched.h and spinlock.h moved under #ifdef CONFIG_LOCK_KERNEL. b) interrupt.h now explicitly pulls sched.h (not via smp_lock.h from hardirq.h as it used to) c) in three more places we need changes to compensate for (a) - one place in arch/sparc needs string.h now, hardirq.h needs forward declaration of task_struct and preempt.h needs direct include of thread_info.h. d) thread_info-related helpers in sched.h and thread_info.h put under ifndef __HAVE_THREAD_FUNCTIONS. Obviously safe.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
