From: Ronan Desplanques <desplanq...@adacore.com> This patch removes three occurrences where tasking run-time subprograms yielded control shortly before conditional calls to Sleep, in order to avoid these calls more often. It was intended as an optimization on systems where calls to Sleep are costly and in particular VMS.
A problem was that two of the yields contained data races that were reported by thread sanitizing tools on some platforms, and that's the motivation for removing them. gcc/ada/ * libgnarl/s-taenca.adb (Wait_For_Completion): Remove call to Yield. * libgnarl/s-tasren.adb (Timed_Selective_Wait, Wait_For_Call): Remove calls to Yield. Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on master. --- gcc/ada/libgnarl/s-taenca.adb | 12 ------------ gcc/ada/libgnarl/s-tasren.adb | 24 ------------------------ 2 files changed, 36 deletions(-) diff --git a/gcc/ada/libgnarl/s-taenca.adb b/gcc/ada/libgnarl/s-taenca.adb index cd9c53b19fe..1dc8ec518bd 100644 --- a/gcc/ada/libgnarl/s-taenca.adb +++ b/gcc/ada/libgnarl/s-taenca.adb @@ -410,18 +410,6 @@ package body System.Tasking.Entry_Calls is Self_Id.Common.State := Entry_Caller_Sleep; - -- Try to remove calls to Sleep in the loop below by letting the caller - -- a chance of getting ready immediately, using Unlock & Yield. - -- See similar action in Wait_For_Call & Timed_Selective_Wait. - - STPO.Unlock (Self_Id); - - if Entry_Call.State < Done then - STPO.Yield; - end if; - - STPO.Write_Lock (Self_Id); - loop Check_Pending_Actions_For_Entry_Call (Self_Id, Entry_Call); diff --git a/gcc/ada/libgnarl/s-tasren.adb b/gcc/ada/libgnarl/s-tasren.adb index d65b9f011b0..6face7ef8d4 100644 --- a/gcc/ada/libgnarl/s-tasren.adb +++ b/gcc/ada/libgnarl/s-tasren.adb @@ -1317,18 +1317,6 @@ package body System.Tasking.Rendezvous is Self_Id.Common.State := Acceptor_Delay_Sleep; - -- Try to remove calls to Sleep in the loop below by letting the - -- caller a chance of getting ready immediately, using Unlock - -- Yield.
