Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 0/4] v2 Documentation and rcutorture changes for 3.9
Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 16:04:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130127000435.GA1521@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello!
The following are changes to documentation and rcutorture:
1. Export trace_clock_local() in order to allow rcutorture event
tracing to emit the time of the beginning of the RCU read-side
critical section at the point where a failure is detected.
2. Reduce rcutorture's read-side tracing to include only failures,
thus cutting the number of events down to something reasonable
(normally zero, in fact!).
3. Add atomic_xchg() to the list of atomic operations and memory
barriers, courtesy of Richard Braun.
4. Make rcutorture's shuffler task also shuffle recently added
rcutorture kthreads.
Changes since v1:
o Fixed build problem in #2 located by Randy Dunlap based on
diagnosis from Steven Rostedt.
o Added patch #4.
Thanx, Paul
