[PATCH] i386 add idle notifier
From: Stephane Eranian
Date: Wed Nov 29 2006 - 11:27:20 EST
Hello,
Here is a patch that adds an idle notifier to the i386 tree.
The idle notifier functionalities and implementation are
identical to the x86_64 idle notifier. We use the idle notifier
in the context of perfmon.
The patch is against Andi Kleen's x86_64-2.6.19-rc6-061128-1.bz2
kernel. It may apply to other kernels but it needs some updates
to poll_idle() and default_idle() to work correctly.
changelog:
- add an idle notifier mechanism to i386 tree
