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:

I think that advancing the timer against the timer's current "now" can be a

hrtimer_forward_now() function.

As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec. de_thread()
sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then
clears signal->flags. All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window
(which is not too small) will be lost.
With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. signal_group_exit(),
the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress.
It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes.

Since the epoll code is very careful to not nest same instance locks

The bitops header is now a bit shorter and easier to understand since
it uses less inline assembly. It requires some tricks to persuade the
compiler to generate decent code. The ffz/ffs functions now use the

With this cleanup the new bitops for ext4 can be implemented with a

This bumps the AGP interface to 0.103.
Certain Intel chipsets contains a global write buffer, and this can require
flushing from the drm or X.org to make sure all data has hit RAM before
initiating a GPU transfer, due to a lack of coherency with the integrated
graphics device and this buffer.
This just adds generic support to the AGP interfaces, a follow-on patch
will add support to the Intel driver to use this interface.

yet in reality, it is the acquisition side of the memory barrier only.

Rather than unconditionally reloading cr3, only do so if the pud we're

This eliminates TLB flushes most of the time. The
performance-critical uses of pud_clear are during execve and exit, but
in those cases cr3 is referring to some other pagetable. The only
other use of pud_clear is during a large (1Gbyte+) munmap, and those
are sufficiently rare that a couple of cr3 reloads won't hurt.
