'Nuff said!!! Here is a sneak preview of v5, testing in progress. The statements below about testing are thus premature, keeping fingers firmly crossed. Thanx, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This patch is a version of RCU designed for (!SMP && EMBEDDED) provided as a proof of concept of a small-footprint RCU implementation. In particular, the implementation of synchronize_rcu() is extremely lightweight and high performance. It passes rcutorture testing in each of the four relevant configurations (combinations of NO_HZ and PREEMPT) on x86. This saves 1263 bytes compared to Classic RCU, and more than three kilobytes compared to Hierarchical RCU (updated to 2.6.30): CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU: text data bss dec filename 544 32 16 592 kernel/rcupdate.o 1495 200 0 1695 kernel/rcuclassic.o 2287 Total (vs 2112 for v4) CONFIG_TREE_RCU: text data bss dec filename 544 32 16 592 kernel/rcupdate.o 3005 448 0 3453 kernel/rcutree.o 4045 Total (vs 3622 for v4) CONFIG_TINY_RCU: text data bss dec filename 506 32 16 554 kernel/rcupdate.o 442 28 0 470 kernel/rcutiny.o 1024 Total (vs 1041 for v4) The above is for x86. Your mileage may vary on other platforms. Changes from v4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/2/91) include: o Squeeze the size down a bit further by removing the ->completed field from struct rcu_ctrlblk. o This permits synchronize_rcu() to become the empty function. Previous concerns about rcutorture were unfounded, as rcutorture correctly handles a constant value from rcu_batches_completed() and rcu_batches_completed_bh(). Changes from v3 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/221) include: o Changed rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh() rcu_enter_nohz(), rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter(), and rcu_nmi_exit(), to be static inlines, as suggested by David Howells. Doing this saves about 100 bytes from rcutiny.o. (The numbers between v3 and this v4 of the patch are not directly comparable, since they are against different versions of Linux.) Changes from v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/3/333) include: o Fix whitespace issues. o Change short-circuit "||" operator to instead be "+" in order to fix performance bug noted by "kraai" on LWN. (http://lwn.net/Articles/324348/) Changes from v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/13/440) include: o This version depends on EMBEDDED as well as !SMP, as suggested by Ingo. o Updated rcu_needs_cpu() to unconditionally return zero, permitting the CPU to enter dynticks-idle mode at any time. This works because callbacks can be invoked upon entry to dynticks-idle mode. o I am now OK with this being included, based on a poll at the Kernel Miniconf at linux.conf.au, where about ten people said that they cared about saving 900 bytes on single-CPU systems. o Applies to both mainline and tip/core/rcu.
