211 * Each cpu has a pair of open-addressed hashtables for pending
212 * profile hits. read_profile() IPI's all cpus to request them
213 * to flip buffers and flushes their contents to prof_buffer itself.
214 * Flip requests are serialized by the profile_flip_mutex. The sole
215 * use of having a second hashtable is for avoiding cacheline
216 * contention that would otherwise happen during flushes of pending
217 * profile hits required for the accuracy of reported profile hits
218 * and so resurrect the interrupt livelock issue.
220 * The open-addressed hashtables are indexed by profile buffer slot
221 * and hold the number of pending hits to that profile buffer slot on
222 * a cpu in an entry. When the hashtable overflows, all pending hits
223 * are accounted to their corresponding profile buffer slots with
224 * atomic_add() and the hashtable emptied. As numerous pending hits
225 * may be accounted to a profile buffer slot in a hashtable entry,
226 * this amortizes a number of atomic profile buffer increments likely
227 * to be far larger than the number of entries in the hashtable,
228 * particularly given that the number of distinct profile buffer
229 * positions to which hits are accounted during short intervals (e.g.
230 * several seconds) is usually very small. Exclusion from buffer
231 * flipping is provided by interrupt disablement (note that for
232 * SCHED_PROFILING or SLEEP_PROFILING profile_hit() may be called from

235 * and was vaguely inspired by ppc64 firmware-supported inverted
236 * pagetable hash functions, but uses a full hashtable full of finite
