BUILDING
Being careful with signals
- The library uses signals internally. The signal handler is
+ The urcu library uses signals internally. The signal handler is
registered with the SA_RESTART flag. However, these signals may cause
some non-restartable system calls to fail with errno = EINTR. Care
should be taken to restart system calls manually if they fail with this
error. A list of non-restartable system calls may be found in
signal(7). To ensure the Userspace RCU library does not use signals,
- define CONFIG_URCU_AVOID_SIGNALS at compile-time.
+ see "Usage of liburcu-mb" below.
- Read-side critical sections can sit in a signal handler. Be careful,
- however, to disable these signals between thread creation and calls to
- rcu_register_thread(), because a signal handler nesting on an
- unregistered thread would not be allowed to call rcu_read_lock().
+ Read-side critical sections can are allowed in a signal handler with
+ liburcu and liburcu-mb. Be careful, however, to disable these signals
+ between thread creation and calls to rcu_register_thread(), because a
+ signal handler nesting on an unregistered thread would not be allowed to
+ call rcu_read_lock().
-Usage of CONFIG_URCU_AVOID_SIGNALS
+Usage of liburcu
- CONFIG_URCU_AVOID_SIGNALS uses full SMP barriers for readers. This
- eliminates the need for signals but results in slower reads.
+ This is the preferred version of the library, both in terms of speed and
+ flexibility. Define _LGPL_SOURCE if your code is LGPL or GPL (otherwise
+ function calls will be generated instead of inlines). Use the urcu.h
+ header. Link the application with "-lurcu".
+
+Usage of liburcu-mb
+
+ Compile code with "-DCONFIG_URCU_AVOID_SIGNALS" and link with
+ "-lurcu-mb" to use a version of the urcu library which does not need to
+ reserve a signal number. CONFIG_URCU_AVOID_SIGNALS uses full SMP
+ barriers for readers. This eliminates the need for signals but results
+ in slower reads.
+
+Usage of liburcu-qsbr
+
+ The QSBR flavor of RCU needs to have each reader thread executing
+ rcu_quiescent_state() periodically to progress. rcu_thread_online() and
+ rcu_thread_offline() can be used to mark long periods for which the
+ threads are not active. Link with "-lurcu-qsbr" and use urcu-qsbr.h.
Usage of DEBUG_RCU
DEBUG_YIELD is used to add random delays in the code for testing
purposes.
