[PATCH dwarves v4 3/4] pahole: Use per-thread btf instances to avoid mutex locking.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Create an instance of btf for each worker thread, and add type info to
the local btf instance in the steal-function of pahole without mutex
acquiring.  Once finished with all worker threads, merge all
per-thread btf instances to the primary btf instance.
