Moving Google toward the mainline

I remember reading an article about new system calls proposed by Google. It was a scheduler yield system call that allowed the current task to yield its remaining processing time to another task. It would presumably be used to make goroutines more performant.

Not sure if the system call was accepted or if it still exists as Google specific kernel code. I can't seem to find the original article either...

Jump to the 15-minute mark for the three new system calls, switchto_wait, switchto_resume, switchto_switch.
