Subject: [patch V3 09/37] rseq: Introduce struct rseq_event
Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2025 00:20:50 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250904185719.712792803@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20250904185336.943880027@linutronix.de
In preparation for a major rewrite of this code, provide a data structure
for event management.
Put the sched_switch event and a indicator for RSEQ on a task into it as a
start. That uses a union, which allows to mask and clear the whole lot
efficiently.
The indicators are explicitly not a bit field. Bit fields generate abysmal
code.
The boolean members are defined as u8 as that actually guarantees that it
fits. There seem to be strange architecture ABIs which need more than 8 bits
for a boolean.
The has_rseq member is redundant vs. task::rseq, but it turns out that
boolean operations and quick checks on the union generate better code than
fiddling with separate entities and data types.
This struct will be extended over time to carry more information.
