312 * Overrides are inputs to the task/thread policy engine that
313 * temporarily elevate the effective QoS of a thread without changing
314 * its steady-state (and round-trip-able) requested QoS. The
315 * interfaces into the kernel allow the caller to associate a resource
316 * and type that describe the reason/lifecycle of the override. For
317 * instance, a contended pthread_mutex_t held by a UTILITY thread
318 * might get an override to USER_INTERACTIVE, with the resource
319 * being the userspace address of the pthread_mutex_t. When the
320 * owning thread releases that resource, it can call into the
321 * task policy subsystem to drop the override because of that resource,
322 * although if more contended locks are held by the thread, the
323 * effective QoS may remain overridden for longer.
325 * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_TYPE_PTHREAD_MUTEX is used for contended
326 * pthread_mutex_t's via the pthread kext. The holder gets an override
327 * with resource=&mutex and a count of 1 by the initial contender.
328 * Subsequent contenders raise the QoS value, until the holder
329 * decrements the count to 0 and the override is released.
331 * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_TYPE_PTHREAD_RWLOCK is unimplemented and has no
332 * specified semantics.
334 * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_TYPE_PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_OVERRIDE are explicitly
335 * paired start/end overrides on a target thread. The resource can
336 * either be a memory allocation in userspace, or the pthread_t of the
337 * overrider if no allocation was used.
339 * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_TYPE_DISPATCH_ASYNCHRONOUS_OVERRIDE are used to
340 * override the QoS of a thread currently draining a serial dispatch
341 * queue, so that it can get to a block of higher QoS than its
342 * predecessors. The override is applied by a thread enqueueing work
343 * with resource=&queue, and reset by the thread that was overriden
344 * once it has drained the queue. Since the ++ and reset are
345 * asynchronous, there is the possibility of a ++ after the target
346 * thread has issued a reset, in which case the workqueue thread may
347 * issue a reset-all in its outermost scope before deciding whether it
348 * should return to dequeueing work from the global concurrent queues,
349 * or return to the kernel.
351 * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_TYPE_WILDCARD is a catch-all which will reset every
352 * resource matching the resource value. Passing
353 * THREAD_QOS_OVERRIDE_RESOURCE_WILDCARD as well will reset everything.
