I was wondering when the freedesktop dudes were going to make a "come back". Linus, in fact, does not oppose the user level approach [1]. I too, however, share his disgust for user level code to interact with every process and group, it's just awful. The kernel seems like a good place to implement an interface for this, that user space can use effectively and without imposing extra complexity on the kernel.

- vimalg2 16y agoThis actually worked for me on a recent quad-core amd with Ubuntu 10.04. My sunspider bench scores on Google chrome 8.x shot up by 30%, IIRC. This was a couple of weeks ago. It seemed like the CPU graph seemed to show higher cpu utilization line-trace for the core that was running the benchmarking Chrome process. That's my layman observation after the patch.
