Aside from the resync to 2.4.19-rc1, the following changes are new since the last release (most all pulled from 2.5): - reintroduce sync wake ups - whitespace cleanup, trivial cleanups - remove frozen lock and introduce new arch-specific switch_mm() logic - new rq_lock and rq_unlock methods - wake_up optimization - nr_uninterruptible optimization for count_active_tasks - merge the task CPU affinity system calls - sched_yield bugfix - minor fixes Compiles on x86 UP and SMP. Since Ingo recently posted 2.4-ac resyncs, I will refrain. As I am the one doing these 2.4 patches, I will invariably be asked whether I intend for the O(1) scheduler to be merged into 2.4. The answer is a strong NO.
