[ Upstream commit114518eb64] If the arch supports TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL, then use that for TWA_SIGNAL as it's more efficient than using the signal delivery method. This is especially true on threaded applications, where ->sighand is shared across threads, but it's also lighter weight on non-shared cases. io_uring is a heavy consumer of TWA_SIGNAL based task_work. A test with threads shows a nice improvement running an io_uring based echo server. stock kernel: 0.01% <= 0.1 milliseconds 95.86% <= 0.2 milliseconds 98.27% <= 0.3 milliseconds 99.71% <= 0.4 milliseconds 100.00% <= 0.5 milliseconds 100.00% <= 0.6 milliseconds 100.00% <= 0.7 milliseconds 100.00% <= 0.8 milliseconds 100.00% <= 0.9 milliseconds 100.00% <= 1.0 milliseconds 100.00% <= 1.1 milliseconds 100.00% <= 2 milliseconds 100.00% <= 3 milliseconds 100.00% <= 3 milliseconds 1378930.00 requests per second ~1600% CPU 1.38M requests/second, and all 16 CPUs are maxed out. patched kernel: 0.01% <= 0.1 milliseconds 98.24% <= 0.2 milliseconds 99.47% <= 0.3 milliseconds 99.99% <= 0.4 milliseconds 100.00% <= 0.5 milliseconds 100.00% <= 0.6 milliseconds 100.00% <= 0.7 milliseconds 100.00% <= 0.8 milliseconds 100.00% <= 0.9 milliseconds 100.00% <= 1.2 milliseconds 1666111.38 requests per second ~1450% CPU 1.67M requests/second, and we're no longer just hammering on the sighand lock. The original reporter states: "For 5.7.15 my benchmark achieves 1.6M qps and system cpu is at ~80%. for 5.7.16 or later it achieves only 1M qps and the system cpu is is at ~100%" with the only difference there being that TWA_SIGNAL is used unconditionally in 5.7.16, since it's required to be able to handle the inability to run task_work if the application is waiting in the kernel already on an event that needs task_work run to be satisfied.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
