207 * Each cpu has a pair of open-addressed hashtables for pending
208 * profile hits. read_profile() IPI's all cpus to request them
209 * to flip buffers and flushes their contents to prof_buffer itself.
210 * Flip requests are serialized by the profile_flip_mutex. The sole
211 * use of having a second hashtable is for avoiding cacheline
212 * contention that would otherwise happen during flushes of pending
213 * profile hits required for the accuracy of reported profile hits
214 * and so resurrect the interrupt livelock issue.
216 * The open-addressed hashtables are indexed by profile buffer slot
217 * and hold the number of pending hits to that profile buffer slot on
218 * a cpu in an entry. When the hashtable overflows, all pending hits
219 * are accounted to their corresponding profile buffer slots with
220 * atomic_add() and the hashtable emptied. As numerous pending hits
221 * may be accounted to a profile buffer slot in a hashtable entry,
222 * this amortizes a number of atomic profile buffer increments likely
223 * to be far larger than the number of entries in the hashtable,
224 * particularly given that the number of distinct profile buffer
225 * positions to which hits are accounted during short intervals (e.g.
226 * several seconds) is usually very small. Exclusion from buffer
227 * flipping is provided by interrupt disablement (note that for
228 * SCHED_PROFILING or SLEEP_PROFILING profile_hit() may be called from
230 * The hash function is meant to be lightweight as opposed to strong,
231 * and was vaguely inspired by ppc64 firmware-supported inverted
232 * pagetable hash functions, but uses a full hashtable full of finite
233 * collision chains, not just pairs of them.
