Delaying, scheduling, and timer routines

struct prev_cputime — snaphsot of system and user cputime
struct task_cputime — collected CPU time counts
struct thread_group_cputimer — thread group interval timer counts
pid_alive — check that a task structure is not stale
is_global_init — check if a task structure is init. Since init is free to have sub-threads we need to check tgid.
task_nice — return the nice value of a given task.
is_idle_task — is the specified task an idle task?
threadgroup_change_begin — mark the beginning of changes to a threadgroup
threadgroup_change_end — mark the end of changes to a threadgroup
wake_up_process — Wake up a specific process
preempt_notifier_register — tell me when current is being preempted & rescheduled
preempt_notifier_unregister — no longer interested in preemption notifications
preempt_schedule_notrace — preempt_schedule called by tracing
sched_setscheduler — change the scheduling policy and/or RT priority of a thread.
sched_setscheduler_nocheck — change the scheduling policy and/or RT priority of a thread from kernelspace.
yield — yield the current processor to other threads.
yield_to — yield the current processor to another thread in your thread group, or accelerate that thread toward the processor it's on.
cpupri_find — find the best (lowest-pri) CPU in the system
cpupri_set — update the cpu priority setting
cpupri_init — initialize the cpupri structure
cpupri_cleanup — clean up the cpupri structure
cpu_load_update — update the rq->cpu_load[] statistics
get_sd_load_idx — Obtain the load index for a given sched domain.
update_sg_lb_stats — Update sched_group's statistics for load balancing.
update_sd_pick_busiest — return 1 on busiest group
update_sd_lb_stats — Update sched_domain's statistics for load balancing.
check_asym_packing — Check to see if the group is packed into the sched doman.
fix_small_imbalance — Calculate the minor imbalance that exists amongst the groups of a sched_domain, during load balancing.
calculate_imbalance — Calculate the amount of imbalance present within the groups of a given sched_domain during load balance.
find_busiest_group — Returns the busiest group within the sched_domain if there is an imbalance.
DECLARE_COMPLETION — declare and initialize a completion structure
DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK — declare and initialize a completion structure
init_completion — Initialize a dynamically allocated completion
reinit_completion — reinitialize a completion structure
__round_jiffies — function to round jiffies to a full second
__round_jiffies_relative — function to round jiffies to a full second
round_jiffies — function to round jiffies to a full second
round_jiffies_relative — function to round jiffies to a full second
__round_jiffies_up — function to round jiffies up to a full second
__round_jiffies_up_relative — function to round jiffies up to a full second
round_jiffies_up — function to round jiffies up to a full second
round_jiffies_up_relative — function to round jiffies up to a full second
set_timer_slack — set the allowed slack for a timer
init_timer_key — initialize a timer
mod_timer_pending — modify a pending timer's timeout
mod_timer — modify a timer's timeout
mod_timer_pinned — modify a timer's timeout
add_timer — start a timer
add_timer_on — start a timer on a particular CPU
del_timer — deactive a timer.
try_to_del_timer_sync — Try to deactivate a timer
del_timer_sync — deactivate a timer and wait for the handler to finish.
schedule_timeout — sleep until timeout
msleep — sleep safely even with waitqueue interruptions
msleep_interruptible — sleep waiting for signals
usleep_range — Drop in replacement for udelay where wakeup is flexible
