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.

This patch moves the micro-assembler in a separate implementation, as
it is useful for further run-time optimizations. The only change in
behaviour is cutting down printk noise at kernel startup time.
Checkpatch complains about macro parameters which aren't protected by
parentheses. I believe this is a flaw in checkpatch, the paste operator
used in those macros won't work with parenthesised parameters.

Commit 312b1485fb made __INIT_REFOK expand
into .section .section ".ref.text", "ax". Since the assembler doesn't
tolerate stuttering in the source that broke all MIPS builds.
Since with this change Sam downgraded __INIT_REFOK the best fix is to
get replace it by the modern days operator. With MIPS the only user
of __INIT_REFOK and __INITDATA_REFOK (which was equally broken) being
unused anyway these can be deleted but that's subject of a separate
commit.

The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
a potentially less optimal trylock.
Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
__raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
not set.
Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
with that break_lock then?).
