From 3516a46042508a495fac13c2e73530d936ebe015 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 01:00:13 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Kprobes: Use RCU for (un)register synchronization - base changes Changes to the base kprobes infrastructure to use RCU for synchronization during kprobe registration and unregistration. These changes coupled with the arch kprobe changes (next in series): a. serialize registration and unregistration of kprobes. b. enable lockless execution of handlers. Handlers can now run in parallel.
