| |
Linus, please pull the latest scheduler git tree for v2.6.25 from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-sched.git
it contains various enhancements to the scheduler - find the full shortlog is below. 96 commits from 19 authors - scheduler developers have been busy again. :-/
The scheduling behavior of the kernel to normal users should not change over v2.6.24, but there are a good number of new features and enhancements under the hood:
- various instrumentation and debugging enhancements from Arjan van de Ven. LatencyTOP support in the scheduler is one example.
- Peter Zijlstra's RT time limit and RT throttling code for the RT scheduling class. Both audio and RT folks have asked for this.
- Paul E. McKenney's preemptible RCU code.
- refcount based CPU-hotplug rework by Gautham R Shenoy. (The "Lukewarm IQ detected in hotplug locking" printout is now gone, forever i hope! :)
- there's serious interest in running RT tasks on enterprise-class hardware, so Steven Rostedt and Gregory Haskins wrote a large number of enhancements to the RT scheduling class and load-balancer.
- Peter Zijlstra's high-resolution scheduler tick code. We still have a HZ tick running for a few other odd things, but it's dwindling now.
- Srivatsa Vaddagiri's next version of group scheduling. More accurate, more fair.
- make printk robust against self-recursion, and use stable timestamps for printk-timestamps.
- the softlockup detector will now detect hung, uninterruptible tasks automatically, and report them.
and a good number of other, smaller enhancements. Enjoy,
Ingo
