34f192c652 [PATCH] lightweight robust futexes: compat
32-bit syscall compatibility support.  (This patch also moves all futex
related compat functionality into kernel/futex_compat.c.)

0771dfefc9 [PATCH] lightweight robust futexes: core
Add the core infrastructure for robust futexes: structure definitions, the new
syscalls and the do_exit() based cleanup mechanism.

0806903316 [PATCH] sched: fix group power for allnodes_domains
Current sched groups power calculation for allnodes_domains is wrong.  We
should really be using cumulative power of the physical packages in that
group (similar to the calculation in node_domains)

1e9f28fa1e [PATCH] sched: new sched domain for representing multi-core
Add a new sched domain for representing multi-core with shared caches
between cores.  Consider a dual package system, each package containing two
cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a package.  If
there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch those two
processes will be scheduled on different packages.

On such systems, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with 2
users).

This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
caches.  On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by domain
degeneration code.  This new domain can be also used for implementing power
savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..
I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)

Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.

013d386814 [PATCH] sched: fix task interactivity calculation
Is a truncation error in kernel/sched.c triggered when the nice value is
negative.  The affected code is used in the TASK_INTERACTIVE macro.

The code is:
#define SCALE(v1,v1_max,v2_max) \
	(v1) * (v2_max) / (v1_max)

which is used in this way:
SCALE(TASK_NICE(p), 40, MAX_BONUS)

Comments in the code says:
  * This part scales the interactivity limit depending on niceness.
  *
  * We scale it linearly, offset by the INTERACTIVE_DELTA delta.
  * Here are a few examples of different nice levels:
  *
  *  TASK_INTERACTIVE(-20): [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0]
  *  TASK_INTERACTIVE(-10): [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0]
  *  TASK_INTERACTIVE(  0): [1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
  *  TASK_INTERACTIVE( 10): [1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
  *  TASK_INTERACTIVE( 19): [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
  *
  * (the X axis represents the possible -5 ... 0 ... +5 dynamic
  *  priority range a task can explore, a value of '1' means the
  *  task is rated interactive.)

However, the current code does not scale it linearly and the result differs
from the given examples.  If the mathematical function "floor" is used when
the nice value is negative instead of the truncation one gets when using
integer division, the result conforms to the documentation.

Output of TASK_INTERACTIVE when using the kernel code:

c6fd91f0bd [PATCH] kretprobe instance recycled by parent process
When kretprobe probes the schedule() function, if the probed process exits
then schedule() will never return, so some kretprobe instances will never
be recycled.

In this patch the parent process will recycle retprobe instances of the
probed function and there will be no memory leak of kretprobe instances.

05cfb614dd [PATCH] hrtimers: remove data field
The nanosleep cleanup allows to remove the data field of hrtimer.  The
callback function can use container_of() to get it's own data.  Since the
hrtimer structure is anyway embedded in other structures, this adds no
overhead.

df869b630d [PATCH] hrtimers: remove nsec_t typedef
nsec_t predates ktime_t and has mostly been superseded by it.  In the few
places that are left it's better to make it explicit that we're dealing with
64 bit values here.

which makes the hrtimer code a bit simpler.  The remaining time is also only

92127c7a45 [PATCH] hrtimers: optimize softirq runqueues
The hrtimer softirq is called from the timer softirq every tick.  Retrieve the
current time from xtime and wall_to_monotonic instead of calling
base->get_time() for each timer base.  Store the time in the base structure
and provide a hook once clock source abstractions are in place and to keep the
code open for new base clocks.

5ddcfa878d [PATCH] remove pps support
This removes the support for pps.  It's completely unused within the kernel
and is basically in the way for further cleanups.  It should be easier to
readd proper support for it after the rest has been converted to NTP4
(where the pps mechanisms are quite different from NTP3 anyway).

- Moved check for online cpu out of smp_prepare_cpu()

- Moved default declaration of smp_prepare_cpu() to kernel/cpu.c

- Removed lock_cpu_hotplug() from smp_prepare_cpu() to around it, since
  its called from cpu_up() as well now.

- Removed clearing from cpu_present_map during cpu_offline as it breaks
  using cpu_up() directly during a subsequent online operation.
