* Feather-Trace: add support for locking-related syscall overheadsBjoern Brandenburg2012-10-18
| | | | | Support recording timestamps that allow tracing the entry and exit costs of locking-related system calls.
* Feather-Trace: update locking timestampsBjoern Brandenburg2012-10-18
| | | | | Reassing locking timestamps and prepare support for tracing system call overheads.
* P-FP: port P-FP plugin used in B. Brandenburg'sSven Dziadek2012-07-23
| | | | | | | | | | dissertation (branch bbb-diss) to current version of litmus This is needed for ongoing projects I took the unchanged code but removed some leftovers of OMLP which is not implemented

* Improve FMLP queue management.wip-fmlp-dequeueGlenn Elliott2011-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | The next owner of a FMLP-protected resource is dequeued from the FMLP FIFO queue by unlock() (when the resource is freed by the previous owner) instead of performing the dequeue by the next owner immediately after it has been woken up. This simplifies the code a little bit and also reduces potential spinlock contention.
* Feather-Trace: rename locking trace pointsBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | Since we don't expect to trace more than one lock type at a time, having protocol-specific trace points is not required.
* fdso: pass userpsace config argument to object constructorBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | As Glenn pointed out, it is useful for some protocols (e.g., k-exclusion protocols) to know the userspace configuration at object creation time. This patch changes the fdso API to pass the parameter to the object constructor, which is then in turn passed to the lock allocater. The return code from the lock allocater is passed to userspace in return. This also fixes some null pointer dereferences in the FDSO code found by the test suite in liblitmus.
* PSN-EDF: re-implement FMLP supportBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | Implement the partitioned FMLP with priority boosting based on the generic lock API.
* Litmus core: replace FMLP & SRP system calls with generic syscallsBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
| | | | | This renders the FMLP and SRP unfunctional until they are ported to the new locking API.
* Litmus core: add generic locking APIBjoern B. Brandenburg2011-02-01
Provide a unified userspace interface for plugin-specific locking protocols.
