Revision 1.7, Tue Aug 7 19:04:21 2007 UTC (16 years, 7 months ago) by ad
Branch: MAIN
CVS Tags: matt-armv6-prevmlocking, matt-armv6-base
Branch point for: matt-armv6
Changes since 1.6: +2 -2 lines

Change the signature of _lwp_park() to accept an lwpid_t and second
hint pointer, but do so in a way that remains compatible with older
pthread libraries. This can be used to wake another thread before the
calling thread goes asleep, saving at least one syscall + involuntary
context switch. This turns out to be a fairly large win on the condvar
benchmarks that I have tried.
