[RFC PATCH v2 1/2] membarrier: Provide register expedited private command

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

 



Provide a new command allowing processes to register their intent to use
the private expedited command.

This allows PowerPC to skip the full memory barrier in switch_mm(), and
only issue the barrier when scheduling into a task belonging to a
process that has registered to use expedited private.

Processes are now required to register before using
MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED, otherwise that command returns EPERM.

[ Build tested on PowerPC. Waiting on test machine to come back to life
  for runtime testing. ]

Changes since v1:
- Use test_ti_thread_flag(next, ...) instead of test_thread_flag() in
  powerpc membarrier_arch_sched_in(), given that we want to specifically
  check the next thread state.
- Add missing ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_HOOKS in Kconfig.
- Use task_thread_info() to pass thread_info from task to
  *_ti_thread_flag().
