  • The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
    EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them
    onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

    Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

    -#include
    +#include

    This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
    will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

  • This following commit

    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fdf8cb0909b531f9ae8f9b9d7e4eb35ba3505f07

    un-inlined a low-level rwsem function, but did not mark it as __sched.
    The result is that it now shows up as thread wchan (which also affects
    /proc/profile stats). The following simple patch fixes this by properly
    marking rwsem_down_failed_common() as a __sched function.

    Also in this patch, which is up for discussion, marks down_read() and
    down_write() proper as __sched. For profiling, it is pretty much
    useless to know that a semaphore is beig help - it is necessary to know
    _which_ one. By going up another frame on the stack, the information
    becomes much more useful.

    In summary, the below change to lib/rwsem.c should be applied; the
    changes to kernel/rwsem.c could be applied if other kernel hackers agree
    with my proposal that down_read()/down_write() in the profile is not
    enough.

  • This causes constructions like

    down_write(&mm1->mmap_sem);
    if (down_write_trylock(&mm2->mmap_sem)) {
    ...
    up_write(&mm2->mmap_sem);
    }
    up_write(&mm1->mmap_sem);

    generate a lockdep warning about circular locking dependence.

    Call rwsem_acquire() with trylock set to 1.
