Delaying, scheduling, and timer routines

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
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
__wake_up — wake up threads blocked on a waitqueue.
__wake_up_sync_key — wake up threads blocked on a waitqueue.
complete — signals a single thread waiting on this completion
complete_all — signals all threads waiting on this completion
wait_for_completion — waits for completion of a task
wait_for_completion_timeout — waits for completion of a task (w/timeout)
wait_for_completion_interruptible — waits for completion of a task (w/intr)
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout — waits for completion (w/(to,intr))
wait_for_completion_killable — waits for completion of a task (killable)
wait_for_completion_killable_timeout — waits for completion of a task (w/(to,killable))
try_wait_for_completion — try to decrement a completion without blocking
completion_done — Test to see if a completion has any waiters
task_nice — return the nice value of a given task.
sched_setscheduler — change the scheduling policy and/or RT priority of a thread.
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.
DECLARE_COMPLETION — declare and initialize a completion structure
DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK — declare and initialize a completion structure
init_completion — Initialize a dynamically allocated completion
INIT_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
