Linux kernel source tree
220dcfc148
If we find ourselves waiting on a MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT, either within the user batch or in our own preamble, the engine raises a GT_WAIT_ON_SEMAPHORE interrupt. We can unmask that interrupt and so respond to a semaphore wait by yielding the timeslice, if we have another context to yield to! The only real complication is that the interrupt is only generated for the start of the semaphore wait, and is asynchronous to our process_csb() -- that is, we may not have registered the timeslice before we see the interrupt. To ensure we don't miss a potential semaphore blocking forward progress (e.g. selftests/live_timeslice_preempt) we mark the interrupt and apply it to the next timeslice regardless of whether it was active at the time. v2: We use semaphores in preempt-to-busy, within the timeslicing implementation itself! Ergo, when we do insert a preemption due to an expired timeslice, the new context may start with the missed semaphore flagged by the retired context and be yielded, ad infinitum. To avoid this, read the context id at the time of the semaphore interrupt and only yield if that context is still active. Fixes: |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
