[PATCH 02/12] poller: run pollers as proper coroutines if architecture supports it

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

 



barebox pollers were so far very limited coroutines that only yield at
the end of the function. Architectures which select CONFIG_HAS_ARCH_SJLJ
can leverage the new coroutine support to allow pollers to yield at any
point of their execution. These pollers are suspended and will be
resumed the next time poller_call() runs. This considerably eases
porting of threaded code, as each poller becomes a thread and
poller_call() becomes the scheduler.
