Bug ID: 19875
Summary: membarrier missing from syscall tapset
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: tapsets
Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
Reporter: dsmith at redhat dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The membarrier syscall was added in kernel 4.3 by the following kernel commit:
====
commit 5b25b13ab08f616efd566347d809b4ece54570d1

sys_membarrier(): system-wide memory barrier (generic, x86)
Here is an implementation of a new system call, sys_membarrier(), which
executes a memory barrier on all threads running on the system. It is
implemented by calling synchronize_sched(). It can be used to
distribute the cost of user-space memory barriers asymmetrically by
transforming pairs of memory barriers into pairs consisting of
sys_membarrier() and a compiler barrier. For synchronization primitives
that distinguish between read-side and write-side (e.g. userspace RCU
[1], rwlocks), the read-side can be accelerated significantly by moving
the bulk of the memory barrier overhead to the write-side.
====
Support for membarrier() should be added to the syscall tapset.
