Subject: [PATCH v9 5/6] gdb: refine commands to control scheduler locking.
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2026 11:55:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260907115537.307049-6-klaus.gerlicher@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260907115537.307049-1-klaus.gerlicher@intel.com>
From: Natalia Saiapova <natalia.saiapova@intel.com>
In this patch, we introduce new command options for set/show scheduler
locking. New options give the user a finer control over the scheduler.
Introduce
set scheduler-locking <continue | replay step | replay continue | step> <on | off>
show scheduler-locking <continue | replay step | replay continue | step>
For example, with these commands a user can get a combined scheduler locking
for stepping commands during the normal execution and for all commands in
replay mode.
The existing scheduler-locking settings still exist and work as shortcuts.
set scheduler-locking step
is equivalent to
set scheduler-locking continue off
set scheduler-locking replay continue off
set scheduler-locking replay step on
set scheduler-locking step on
set scheduler-locking on
is equivalent to
set scheduler-locking continue on
set scheduler-locking replay continue on
set scheduler-locking replay step on
set scheduler-locking step on
set scheduler-locking replay
is equivalent to
set scheduler-locking continue off
set scheduler-locking replay continue on
set scheduler-locking replay step on
set scheduler-locking step off
set scheduler-locking off
is equivalent to
set scheduler-locking continue off
set scheduler-locking replay continue off
set scheduler-locking replay step off
set scheduler-locking step off
This is bound to the structure we introduced in the previous commit:
gdb: change the internal representation of scheduler locking.
To introduce it under scheduler-locking I had to change the way the show
command works.
(gdb) show scheduler-locking
scheduler-locking continue: Scheduler locking for continuing commands
in normal execution is "off".
scheduler-locking replay continue: Scheduler locking for continuing
commands in replay mode is "on".
scheduler-locking replay step: Scheduler locking for stepping commands
in replay mode is "on".
scheduler-locking step: Scheduler locking for stepping commands in
normal execution is "off".
(gdb) show scheduler-locking replay step
Scheduler locking for stepping commands in replay mode is "on".
(gdb) show scheduler-locking continue
Scheduler locking for continuing commands in normal execution is "off".
Note, there is a small inconsistency with the "set scheduler-locking step".
If we did not keep the older way of setting the scheduler locking, command
set scheduler-locking step
would be the same as
set scheduler-locking step on
while to be backward compatible, we have it as
set scheduler-locking step on
set scheduler-locking replay step on
The early-return optimization via schedlock_applies in
switch_back_to_stepped_thread is removed. Previously, when scheduler
locking applied unconditionally (not just for stepping), there was no
need to check other threads. With fine-grained scheduler locking, the
continue and step settings are independent, so we can no longer
short-circuit based on the event thread alone. The remaining code
already handles the case correctly by walking the thread list.
