Ingo,
Please pull the printk support in dynticks mode patches that can
be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git
tags/printk-dynticks-for-mingo
This branch is based on top of v3.7-rc4
Head is 2fb933986dcef2db1344712162a1feb8d5736ff8:
printk: Wake up klogd using irq_work (2012-11-14 17:45:37 +0100)
Since last version, very few things have changed:
* Added acks from Steve on patches 1/7 and 2/7
* Fixed an arch_needs_cpu() redefinition due to misordered headers (reported
by Wu Fengguang).
If you get further acks from Peterz or anybody, feel free to cherry pick
the patches instead. Or I can rebase my patches to add them, either way.
Thanks.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Support for printk in dynticks mode:
* Fix two races in irq work claiming
* Generalize irq_work support to all archs
* Don't stop tick with irq works pending. This
fix is generally useful and concerns archs that
can't raise self IPIs.
* Introduce "lazy" irq works that can wait for the
next tick to be executed, unless it's stopped.
* Implement klogd wake up using irq work. This
removes the ad-hoc printk_tick()/printk_needs_cpu()
hooks and make it working even in dynticks mode.
