Hello, Ingo,
This is now an RFC pull for only one of the previous two reasons.
The commits have how been through -next without the adaptive-idle patches,
but although good progress has been made on the adaptive-idle patches,
they are still not quite there yet. Again, the current adaptive-idle
series has been rebased as rcu/idle on top of rcu/next, the latter branch
being the subject of this pull request. Also, I have merged the
conflicting -tip branches into rcu/next, resolving the conflicts.
(One set was adjacent insertions/deletions, the other was resolved
as Peter Zijlstra described at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/5/585.
Again, the major features of this series are:
0. A fix for a latent bug that has been in RCU ever since the
addition of CPU stall warnings. This bug results in
false-positive stall warnings, but thus far only on embedded
systems with severely cut-down userspace configurations.
This fix is located on an rcu/urgent branch, with the rest
of the commits based on top of it. This commit CCs stable.
Given that the merge window is coming quite soon and given
the small number of affected users, I do -not- recommend
pushing it to 3.6, but the separate branch makes it easy to
find if someone needs it.
1. Further reductions in latency spikes for huge systems, along
with additional boot-time adaptation to the actual hardware.
This is a large change, as it moves RCU grace-period
initialization and cleanup, along with quiescent-state forcing,
from softirq to a kthread. However, it appears to be in
quite good shape (famous last words). Posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/20/427.
2. Updates to documentation and rcutorture, the latter category
including keeping statistics on CPU-hotplug latencies and
fixing some initialization-time races. Posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/30/193.
3. Miscellaneous fixes and improvements, posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/30/199.
4. CPU-hotplug fixes and improvements, posted to LKML at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/30/292 for first three and at
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/3/416.
5. Idle-loop fixes that were omitted on an earlier submission,
posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/30/251.
As noted earlier, all of these commits have been exposed to -next testing,
albeit in combination with adaptive-idle commits that will hopefully be
following soon.
