docs: kernel-locking: Convert semaphore references

2008-02-06T18:41:07Z

I converted some of the document to reflect mutex usage instead of semaphore usage. Since we shouldin't be promoting semaphore usage when it's on it's way out.. Signed-off-by: Daniel Walker Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

docbook: make kernel-locking table readable

2007-05-17T12:23:05Z

Andi Kleen pointed out to me that the kernel locking cheat sheet table entries are unreadable. Make table entries smaller so that pdf and ps output is readable (columns were being overwritten and garbled) by using abbreviations. This allows the tables to fit on one page cleanly. Add a Legend for the abbreviations: SLIS: spin_lock_irqsave SLI: spin_lock_irq SL: spin_lock SLBH: spin_lock_bh DI: down_interruptible Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Linux-2.6.12-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!
