Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

+ * CLOCKs: The POSIX standard calls for a couple of clocks and allows us
+ *          to implement others.  This structure defines the various
+ *          clocks and allows the possibility of adding others.  We
+ *          provide an interface to add clocks to the table and expect
+ *          the "arch" code to add at least one clock that is high
+ *          resolution.  Here we define the standard CLOCK_REALTIME as a
+ *          1/HZ resolution clock.
+ *
+ * RESOLUTION: Clock resolution is used to round up timer and interval
+ *          times, NOT to report clock times, which are reported with as
+ *          much resolution as the system can muster.  In some cases this
+ *          resolution may depend on the underlying clock hardware and
+ *          may not be quantifiable until run time, and only then is the
+ *          necessary code is written.  The standard says we should say
+ *          something about this issue in the documentation...
+ *
+ * FUNCTIONS: The CLOCKs structure defines possible functions to handle
+ *          various clock functions.  For clocks that use the standard
+ *          system timer code these entries should be NULL.  This will
+ *          allow dispatch without the overhead of indirect function
+ *          calls.  CLOCKS that depend on other sources (e.g. WWV or GPS)
+ *          must supply functions here, even if the function just returns
+ *          ENOSYS.  The standard POSIX timer management code assumes the
+ *          following: 1.) The k_itimer struct (sched.h) is used for the
+ *          timer.  2.) The list, it_lock, it_clock, it_id and it_process
+ *          fields are not modified by timer code.
+ *
+ *          At this time all functions EXCEPT clock_nanosleep can be
+ *          redirected by the CLOCKS structure.  Clock_nanosleep is in
+ *          there, but the code ignores it.
+ *
+ * Permissions: It is assumed that the clock_settime() function defined
+ *          for each clock will take care of permission checks.  Some
+ *          clocks may be set able by any user (i.e. local process
+ *          clocks) others not.  Currently the only set able clock we
+ *          have is CLOCK_REALTIME and its high res counter part, both of
+ *          which we beg off on and pass to do_sys_settimeofday().

+         * be set often, it seems ok to take and release the irq lock
+         * for each timer.  In fact add_timer will do this, so this is

+         * whole list to a new location.  Then as we process each entry,

+         * copy is empty, we are done.  We are not all that concerned
+         * about preemption so we will use a semaphore lock to protect
+         * aginst reentry.  This way we will not stall another
+         * processor.  It is possible that this may delay some timers
+         * that should have expired, given the new clock, but even this
+         * will be minimal as we will always update to the current time,
+         * even if it was set by a task that is waiting for entry to
+         * this code.  Timers that expire too early will be caught by
+         * the expire code and restarted.
+
+         * Absolute timers that repeat are left in the abs list while
+         * waiting for the task to pick up the signal.  This means we
+         * may find timers that are not in the "add_timer" list, but are
+         * in the abs list.  We do the same thing for these, save
+         * putting them back in the "add_timer" list.  (Note, these are
+         * left in the abs list mainly to indicate that they are
