possible huge regress
Hi, We have benchmarked some multithreaded code here on 16-core/4-way opteron 8356 host on number of kernels (see below) and found strange results. Up to 8 threads we didn't see any noticeable differences in performance, but starting from 9 threads performance diverges substantially. I provide here results for 14 t... 23 Mar 2010 13:39

[PATCH -mm 2/2] keyctl_session_to_parent: use thread_group_empty() to check singlethreadness
No functional changes. keyctl_session_to_parent() is the only user of signal->count which needs the correct value. Change it to use thread_group_empty() instead, this must be strictly equivalent under tasklist, and imho looks better.

[PATCH -mm 0/2] misc: don't use sig->count
Trivial. According to grep, get_nr_threads() becomes the only user of sig->count.

[PATCH -mm 1/2] proc_sched_show_task: use get_nr_threads()
Trivial, use get_nr_threads() helper to read signal->count which we are going to change. Like other callers, proc_sched_show_task() doesn't need the exactly precise nr_threads.
