blkio: IO controller stats
On Thu, Apr 01 2010, Divyesh Shah wrote: The following series implements some additional stats for IO controller. These stats have helped us debug issues with earlier IO controller versions and should be useful now as well.

what the patches do Re: [RFC 10/15] PM / Hibernate: user, implement user_ops reader
Hi! So what's your long term plan then? First, improve the in-kernel thing, second, switch people to it, _then_ remove the s2disk interface (after we're reasonably sure it's not used by any major distro) and _finally_ simplify things after it's been removed. I'd really prefer to keep... 2 Apr 2010 02:48
[RFC v2][PATCH 04/11] perf trace: introduce special handling for pipe input
Adds special treatment for stdin - if the user specifies '-i -' to perf trace, the intent is that the event stream be read from stdin rather than from a disk file. The actual handling of the '-' filename is done by the session; this just adds a signal handler to stop reporting, and turns off interference by the ... 2 Apr 2010 01:44
[RFC v2][PATCH 11/11] perf trace: invoke live mode automatically if record/report not specified
Currently, live mode is invoked by explicitly invoking the record and report sides and connecting them with a pipe e.g. $ perf trace record rwtop -o - | perf trace report rwtop 5 -i - In terms of usability, it's not that bad, but it does require the user to type and remember more than necessary. This patch a... 2 Apr 2010 01:44

[PATCH] perf/scripts: tuple was set from long in both branches in python_process_event()
This is a fix to the signed/unsigned field handling in the Python scripting engine, based on a patch from Roel Kluin. Basically, Python wants to use a PyInt (which is internally a long) if it can i.e. if the value will fit into that type. If not, it stores it into a PyLong, which isn't actually a long, but an ar... 2 Apr 2010 01:44
