Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/5] sched, fork: Wire BLOG contexts into task lifecycle
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 08:42:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024084259.2359693-2-amarkuze@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251024084259.2359693-1-amarkuze@redhat.com>
Extend struct task_struct with a blog_contexts array to hold per-module
BLOG TLS pointers. Each task may have up to BLOG_MAX_MODULES (currently 8)
distinct logging contexts, allowing multiple subsystems to attach binary
loggers without interference.
The fork path (copy_process) initializes blog_contexts to NULL for new
tasks, ensuring clean initial state. The exit path (do_exit) calls
blog_tls_clear_task() to release any active contexts before task teardown,
ensuring contexts are properly recycled to the magazine pool and preventing
use-after-free scenarios.
These changes are conditional on CONFIG_BLOG. Kernels built without BLOG
support incur no storage or runtime overhead in task_struct.
This commit establishes the foundation for per-task binary logging contexts
but does not activate any logging functionality. The BLOG subsystem itself
is introduced in subsequent commits.
