I've just sent a new patch for STP simulation: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240910060407.1427716-1-liaochang1@xxxxxxxxxx/ This patch try to maintain the correct properties of STP, even if it comes at a obvious cost of efficiency. Simulating STP directly within the kernel becomes painful due to POE and MTE interactions. Therefore, for now, the patch focus on scenarios where the kernel and hardware don't support MTE. > > Mark. > >> Thanks. >> >> >> 在 2024/8/21 15:55, Liao, Chang 写道: >>> Hi, Mark >>> >>> My bad for taking so long to rely, I generally agree with your suggestions to >>> STP emulation. >>> >>> 在 2024/8/15 17:58, Mark Rutland 写道: >>>> On Wed, Aug 14, 2024 at 08:03:56AM +0000, Liao Chang wrote: >>>>> As Andrii pointed out, the uprobe/uretprobe selftest bench run into a >>>>> counterintuitive result that nop and push variants are much slower than >>>>> ret variant [0].
