Tell The United States Patent and Tradem...

Tell The United States Patent and Trademark Office that software and business method patents should not be part of the EU-US patent treaty. The USPTO has put a call out for public comments. They can be contacted, either by sending a fax to Mr. Santamauro to (571) 273-0085 or by emailing plharmonization@uspto.gov. The deadline is June 22 (Sunday).

Hyperthreaded virtual cores, different C-States?

turbostat reports C-states of all CPU cores, and includes entries for each hyper-threaded core as well. Often enough the two logical cores on a single physical core will list different C state percentages. Does that make any sense? Is this reporting the c-states of the few duplicated parts...

PSERIALIZE(9)						   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					     PSERIALIZE(9)

NAME
pserialize -- passive serialization mechanism SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/pserialize.h> pserialize_t pserialize_create(void); void pserialize_destroy(pserialize_t psz); int pserialize_read_enter(void); void pserialize_read_exit(int s); void pserialize_perform(pserialize_t psz); DESCRIPTION
Passive serialization is a reader / writer synchronisation mechanism designed for lock-less read operations. The read operations may happen from software interrupt at IPL_SOFTCLOCK. FUNCTIONS
pserialize_create() Allocate a new synchronisation object. pserialize_destroy() Destroy the synchronisation object. No synchronisation activity should happen at this point. pserialize_read_enter() Enter the critical path of the reader side. Returns an IPL value, which must be passed to pserialize_read_exit(9). Protected code path is not allowed to block. pserialize_read_exit() Exit the critical path of the reader side. Takes the IPL value returned by pserialize_read_enter(9). pserialize_perform() Perform the passive serialization on the writer side. Passing of this function ensures that no readers are in action. Writers must be additionally serialized with a separate mechanism, e.g. mutex(9). Operation blocks and it may only be performed from thread context. EXAMPLES
Typical code fragment in the writer side: mutex_enter(&writer_psz_lock); /* * Perform the updates (e.g. remove data items from a list). */ ... pserialize_perform(object->psz); /* * At this point it is safe to destroy old data items. */ mutex_exit(&writer_psz_lock); CODE REFERENCES
The pserialize is implemented within the file sys/kern/subr_pserialize.c. SEE ALSO
