Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

msgsnd doorbell exceptions are cleared when the doorbell interrupt is
taken. However if a doorbell exception causes a system reset interrupt
wake from power saving state, the message is not cleared. Processing
the doorbell from the system reset interrupt requires msgclr to avoid
taking the exception again.
Testing this plus the previous wakup direct patch gives:
original wakeup direct msgclr
Different threads, same core: 315k/s 264k/s 345k/s
Different cores: 235k/s 242k/s 242k/s
Net speedup is +10% for same core, and +3% for different core.
