Ingo Molnar d50efc6c40 x86: fix UML and -regparm=3
introduce the "asmregparm" calling convention: for functions
implemented in assembly with a fixed regparm input parameters
calling convention.

mark the semaphore and rwsem slowpath functions with that.

Livio Soares c7af77b584 sched: mark rwsem functions as __sched for wchan/profiling
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.

Peter Zijlstra 4dfbb9d8c6 Lockdep: add lockdep_set_class_and_subclass() and lockdep_set_subclass()
This annotation makes it possible to assign a subclass on lock init. This
annotation is meant to reduce the _nested() annotations by assigning a
default subclass.

One could do without this annotation and rely on lockdep_set_class()
exclusively, but that would require a manual stack of struct lock_class_key
objects.

Andreas Mohr fdf8cb0909 [PATCH] lib/rwsem.c: un-inline rwsem_down_failed_common()
Un-inlining rwsem_down_failed_common() (two callsites) reduced lib/rwsem.o
on my Athlon, gcc 4.1.2 from 5935 to 5480 Bytes (455 Bytes saved).

I thus guess that reduced icache footprint (and better function caching) is
worth more than any function call overhead.

Replace a number of memory barriers with smp_ variants.  This means we won't
take the unnecessary hit on UP machines.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
