Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/5] Documentation updates for 3.19
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 14:59:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141028215937.GA25095@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello!
This series contains a few documentation updates:
1. Records limitations of bitfields and small variables.
Also rules out pre-EV56 Alpha, which lack 8- and 16-bit
memory-reference instructions. Later Alpha CPUs are OK.
(The official Alpha maintainers have thus far been silent
on this patch.)
2. Document the new RCU self-test boot parameters, courtesy of
Pranith Kumar.
3. Records that short-circuit boolean evaluation does not necessarily
defend against control-dependency breakage by compiler optimizations.
4. Add mention of atomic_long_t to atomic_ops.txt.
5. Fix an example in memory-barriers.txt, courtesy of Pranith Kumar.
Thanx, Paul
