Re: [Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH] Cell SPU task notification - repost of patch with updates

[Maynard Johnson <maynardj@us.ibm.com>]

This patch makes all the changes suggested by Christopher, with the 
exception of the suggestion to use the sched_flags field versus a new 
member to the spu_context struct to signal the need to "notify already 
active".  I don't have the sched_flags change in my 2.6.20-rc1 tree.  I 
can send another patch later if/when the sched_flags changes appears in 
the kernel version we end up picking for final oprofile-spu development.

Comments welcome.  Thanks.

Subject: Enable SPU switch notification to detect currently active SPU tasks.

From: Maynard Johnson <maynardj@us.ibm.com>

This patch adds to the capability of spu_switch_event_register so that the
caller is also notified of currently active SPU tasks.  It also exports
spu_switch_event_register and spu_switch_event_unregister.

Signed-off-by: Maynard Johnson <mpjohn@us.ibm.com>
