2008-01-25	sched: SCHED_FIFO/SCHED_RR watchdog timer	Peter Zijlstra	1	-2/+3
	Introduce a new rlimit that allows the user to set a runtime timeout on real-time tasks their slice. Once this limit is exceeded the task will receive SIGXCPU. So it measures runtime since the last sleep. Input and ideas by Thomas Gleixner and Lennart Poettering.

2007-11-26	sched: fix RLIMIT_CPU comment	Ingo Molnar	1	-1/+1
	Devan Lippman noticed that the RLIMIT_CPU comment in resource.h is incorrect: the field is in seconds, not msecs. We used msecs in earlier versions of the patch but that got changed. Found-by: Devan Lippman <devan.lippman@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2005-05-01	[PATCH] nice and rt-prio rlimits	Matt Mackall	1	-1/+6
	Add a pair of rlimits for allowing non-root tasks to raise nice and rt priorities. Defaults to traditional behavior. Originally written by Chris Wright. The patch implements a simple rlimit ceiling for the RT (and nice) priorities a task can set. The rlimit defaults to 0, meaning no change in behavior by default. A value of 50 means RT priority levels 1-50 are allowed. A value of 100 means all 99 privilege levels from 1 to 99 are allowed. CAP_SYS_NICE is blanket permission. (akpm: see http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0503.1/1921.html for tips on integrating this with PAM).

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+88
	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!
