Among them, there are: * futex use prio list : allow threads to be woken in priority order instead of FIFO order. * futex_wait use hrtimer : allow the use of finer timer resolution. * futex_requeue_pi functionality : allow use of requeue optimisation for PI-mutexes/PI-futexes. * futex64 syscall : allow use of 64-bit futexes instead of 32-bit. The following mails provide the corresponding patches. Comments, suggestions, feedback, etc are welcome, as usual. -- Pierre Peiffer - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
