e8adbac0 - tools/memory-model: Document herd7 (abstract) representation

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 01:06:04 +0000

tools/memory-model: Document herd7 (abstract) representationThe Linux-kernel memory model (LKMM) source code and the herd7 tool areclosely linked in that the latter is responsible for (pre)processingeach C-like macro of a litmus test, and for providing the LKMM with aset of events, or "representation", corresponding to the given macro.This commit therefore provides herd-representation.txt to documentthe representations of the concurrency macros, following their"classification" in Documentation/atomic_t.txt.Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZnFZPJlILp5B9scN@andrea/Suggested-by: Hernan Ponce de Leon Signed-off-by: Andrea Parri Reviewed-by: Boqun Feng Reviewed-by: Hernan Ponce de Leon Signed-off-by: Paul E.

ebb477cb - tools/memory-model: Document categories of ordering primitives

Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:27:33 +0000

tools/memory-model: Document categories of ordering primitivesThe Linux kernel has a number of categories of ordering primitives, whichare recorded in the LKMM implementation and hinted at by cheatsheet.txt.But there is no overview of these categories, and such an overviewis needed in order to understand multithreaded LKMM litmus tests.This commit therefore adds an ordering.txt as well as extracting acontrol-dependencies.txt from memory-barriers.txt. It also updates theREADME file.[ paulmck: Apply Akira Yokosawa file-placement feedback. ][ paulmck: Apply Alan Stern feedback. ][ paulmck: Apply self-review feedback. ]Signed-off-by: Paul E.

ab8bcad6 - tools/memory-model: Move Documentation description to Documentation/README

Tue, 04 Aug 2020 21:00:17 +0000

tools/memory-model: Move Documentation description to Documentation/READMEThis commit moves the descriptions of the files residing intools/memory-model/Documentation to a README file in that directory,leaving behind the description of tools/memory-model/Documentation/READMEitself. After this change, tools/memory-model/Documentation/READMEprovides a guide to the files in the tools/memory-model/Documentationdirectory, guiding people with different skills and needs to the mostappropriate starting point.Signed-off-by: Paul E.
