1 /* LTTng user-space "fast" library
3 * This daemon is spawned by each traced thread (to share the mmap).
5 * Its job is to dump periodically this buffer to disk (when it receives a
6 * SIGUSR1 from its parent).
8 * It uses the control information in the shared memory area (producer/consumer
11 * When the parent thread dies (yes, those thing may happen) ;) , this daemon
12 * will flush the last buffer and write it to disk.
14 * Supplement note for streaming : the daemon is responsible for flushing
15 * periodically the buffer if it is streaming data.
19 * shm memory is typically limited to 4096 units (system wide limit SHMMNI in
20 * /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni). As it requires computation time upon creation, we
21 * do not use it : we will use a shared mmap() instead which is passed through
23 * MAP_SHARED mmap segment. Updated when msync or munmap are called.
25 * Memory mapped by mmap() is preserved across fork(2), with the same
28 * Eventually, there will be two mode :
29 * * Slow thread spawn : a fork() is done for each new thread. If the process
30 * dies, the data is not lost.
31 * * Fast thread spawn : a pthread_create() is done by the application for each
34 * We use a timer to check periodically if the parent died. I think it is less
35 * intrusive than a ptrace() on the parent, which would get every signal. The
36 * side effect of this is that we won't be notified if the parent does an
37 * exec(). In this case, we will just sit there until the parent exits.
