Bug ID: 394361
Summary: [Enhancement] : Client request to control
thread-yielding in valgrind
Product: valgrind
Version: 3.14 SVN
Platform: RedHat RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

patch-file
Hi,
I have created a valgrind client-request "VALGRIND_YIELD", which makes current
running thread in valgrind to yield.
This helps in scenario where, app has multiple consumer threads and those
threads are processing executing grabbed-objects. And there is a possibility of
data-race between execution of 2 grabbed objects. But since helgrind by default
runs a thread for 100000 basic-blocks, a single consumer-thread tends to grab
all object and hence no race happens with helgrind.
But with this client-request, after client-specific number of grabbed objects a
consumer-thread can yield to other consumer-thread and we can re-produce
race-causing scenario with helgrind as well.
I have patch attached with bugz. Kindly review and patch it into valgrind.
Thanks & Regards
Manish Goel
