Kernel Source and devicetree for NOTHING Phone(3a) and Phone(3a)Pro
Joel Fernandes found that the synchronize_rcu_tasks() was taking a significant amount of time. He demonstrated it with the following test: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # while [ 1 ]; do x=1; done & # echo '__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter # time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter; real 0m1.064s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s Where it takes a little over a second to perform the synchronize, because there's a loop that waits 1 second at a time for tasks to get through their quiescent points when there's a task that must be waited for. After discussion we came up with a simple way to wait for holdouts but increase the time for each iteration of the loop but no more than a full second. With the new patch we have: # time echo '!__schedule_bug:traceon' > set_ftrace_filter; real 0m0.131s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s Which drops it down to 13% of what the original wait time was.

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.
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.
