this is version -V7 of the generic mutex subsystem. It consists of the
following 11 patches:
add-atomic-xchg.patch
mutex-generic-asm-implementations.patch
mutex-asm-mutex.h-i386.patch
mutex-asm-mutex.h-x86_64.patch
mutex-asm-mutex.h-arm.patch
mutex-arch-mutex-h.patch
mutex-core.patch
mutex-docs.patch
mutex-debug.patch
mutex-debug-more.patch
xfs-mutex-namespace-collision-fix.patch
the patches are against Linus' latest GIT tree, and they should work
fine on every Linux architecture.
Changes since -V6:
33 files changed, 515 insertions(+), 360 deletions(-)
- added asm-arm/mutex.h ARM mutex fastpath implementation,
by Nicolas Pitre.
- as per Linus' suggestion, split up the mutex debugging code and
prototypes into 4 separate files: kernel/mutex.c, kernel/mutex.h,
kernel/mutex-debug.c and kernel/mutex-debug.h, and made the debugging
code build as kernel/mutex-debug.o. As a result mutex.c got smaller
and easier to read. This also eliminated an #ifdef.
- added a new "NULL mutex fastpath implementation" via
asm-generic/mutex-null.h, which is now used by the debugging code.
This got rid of two ugly #ifdef's in mutex.c, and removed code as
well.
- comment cleanups by Nicolas Pitre.
- more doc/comment additions and updates.
- lots of code and style cleanups in various mutex headers.
