[patch 00/23]

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

We are pleased to announce the next version of our "high resolution 
timers" and "dynticks" patchset, which implements two important features 
that Linux lacked for many years.

The patchset is against 2.6.18-mm2. (Since our last release there were 
no big changes, other than bugfixes and internal releasification 
cleanups, and the merge to -mm. The queue is bisect-friendly.)

If review and feedback is positive we'd like this patchset to be added 
to the 2.6.19 kernel. It has been maintained ontop of ktimers initially 
(more than a year ago), and then ontop of hrtimers (after ktimers were 
renamed to hrtimers and the hrtimer subsystem went upstream in January). 
Various -hrt iterations have been announced on lkml numerous times in 
the past year.

Now that the hrtimers subsystem and most of John Stultz Generic Time Of 
Day work is upstream, this patchset is straightforward and carries 
little risks if high-res timers are turned off (which is the default).

This patchset has been tested on various i686 systems. (We have the 
x86_64 patches too, but we'd like to concentrate on this first wave 
initially.)

The patchset can also be found at:
