This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:

int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);

The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.

The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
NULL).

The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.

The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
{0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.

Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
exercise the new timerfd APIs:

Linus:
On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like

        depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32

really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.

It would be much better to do

        depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES

in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
have a

        bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                default y

in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
which interface...

Changelog:

Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
it, I realize that I should have told you to just use

        config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                def_bool y

instead, which is a bit denser.

We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
what "def_bool" is there for...

Changelog :

- Moving to HAVE_*.
- Add AVR32 oprofile.

When we switched away from the optimized C version
things stopped being monotonic.

The problem is that if we run this with interrupts disabled, we can
see the interrupt pending because the counter reached the limit value.
When this happens the counter has bit 31 set, and the low bits start

"It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file,
20-something times.  Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into
20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing.

However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make
_one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES,
and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

This is the largest patch in the set. Make all (I hope) the places where
the pid is shown to or get from user operate on the virtual pids.

The idea is:
 - all in-kernel data structures must store either struct pid itself
   or the pid's global nr, obtained with pid_nr() call;
 - when seeking the task from kernel code with the stored id one
   should use find_task_by_pid() call that works with global pids;
 - when showing pid's numerical value to the user the virtual one
   should be used, but however when one shows task's pid outside this
   task's namespace the global one is to be used;
 - when getting the pid from userspace one need to consider this as
   the virtual one and use appropriate task/pid-searching functions.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.

Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
that something has gone wrong.

This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
than just the one thread.

Added asm-sparc/irqflags.h and moved irq related code from system.h to it.
Renamed local_irq functions to raw_local_irq in irq.c.
Modified system.h to include linux/irqflags.h which includes asm/irqflags.h.
Added TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT to Kconfig.debug.

This is the first step in adding IRQ-flags state tracing as outlined in
Documentation/irqflags-tracing.txt.  These changes should be harmless
because they just move things around and rename them.

The next step is making the lowlevel entry code modifications which
to be honest are beyond my capabilities at this point.
