| |
this is the v4 release of the syslet/threadlet subsystem:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/syslet-patches/
v4 is a smaller update than v3 (so i wont send out the full queue to lkml - see the broken out queue in the patches-v4 directory at the URL above). Changes since v3:
- the threadlet API changed: the sys_async_threadlet() syscall now takes a 'completion event' pointer, and auto-completes it into the completion ring. I've updated the test-threadlet.c code to make use of it. So completion of threadlets and syslets is quite similar now - sharing even more infrastructure. (To get true pthread compatibility a sys_exit() driven CLEARTID completion method will be added too in the future).
- a small performance fix for syslet rescheduling. The syslet ABI has not changed.
- test-threadlet.c fixes a thread stack leak, and the other tests too have a number of small fixes and cleanups.
