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