2006-07-31[PATCH] reference rt-mutex-design in rtmutex.cSteven Rostedt
In order to prevent Doc Rot, this patch adds a reference to the design document for rtmutex.c in rtmutex.c. So when someone needs to update or change the design of that file they will know that a document actually exists that explains the design (helping them change it), and hopefully that they will update the document if they too change the design.

2006-07-03[PATCH] sched: cleanup, remove task_t, convert to struct task_structIngo Molnar
cleanup: remove task_t and convert all the uses to struct task_struct. I introduced it for the scheduler anno and it was a mistake. Conversion was mostly scripted, the result was reviewed and all secondary whitespace and style impact (if any) was fixed up by hand.

2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: better lock debuggingIngo Molnar
Generic lock debugging: - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems. - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway. - ability to do silent tests - check lock freeing in vfree too. - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to turn off more expensive debugging features. There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first checks whether we are holding a lock already) Here are the current debugging options: CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y which do: config DEBUG_MUTEXES bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks" config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-27[PATCH] rtmutex: Propagate priority settings into PI lock chainsThomas Gleixner
When the priority of a task, which is blocked on a lock, changes we must propagate this change into the PI lock chain. Therefor the chain walk code is changed to get rid of the references to current to avoid false positives in the deadlock detector, as setscheduler might be called by a task which holds the lock on which the task whose priority is changed is blocked. Also add some comments about the get/put_task_struct usage to avoid confusion.

2006-06-27[PATCH] pi-futex: rt mutex testerThomas Gleixner
RT-mutex tester: scriptable tester for rt mutexes, which allows userspace scripting of mutex unit-tests (and dynamic tests as well), using the actual rt-mutex implementation of the kernel.
