I no longer think interrupts can be disabled in the futex and cmpxchg operations because of COW breaks. This not ideal but I suspect it's the best we can do. For the cmpxchg operations in syscall.S, we rely on the code to not schedule off the gateway page. For the futex, I added code to disable preemption. So far, I haven't seen the warnings with the attached change but the change is only lightly tested. Signed-off-by: Dave Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
