refimprove date November 2010 Merge to Software lockout date September 2010 In operating systems , a giant lock , also known as a big lock or kernel lock , is a Lock computer science lock which may be used in the Kernel computing kernel to provide the concurrency control required by symmetric multiprocessing SMP systems. A giant lock is a solitary global lock that is held whenever a Thread computer science thread enters kernel space , and is released when the thread returns to user space a system call is the archetypal example . In this model, threads in user space can run concurrently on any available microprocessor processors or Multi core processor cores , but no more than one thread can run in kernel space any other threads that try to enter kernel space are forced to wait. In other words, the giant lock eliminates all concurrency computer science concurrency in kernel space. By isolating the kernel from concurrency, many parts of the kernel no longer need to be modified to support SMP. By the same token, performance is predictably inefficient on SMP systems. Accordingly, the giant lock approach is commonly seen as a preliminary means of bringing SMP support to an operating system, yielding benefits only in user space. Most modern operating systems use a fine grained locking approach. The Linux kernel had a big kernel lock until it was finally replaced by more fine grained locking mechanisms by Arnd Bergmann in 2011. ref http git.kernel.org ?p linux kernel git torvalds linux 2.6.git a commitdiff h 4ba8216cd90560bc402f52076f64d8546e8aefcb git.kernel.org BKL that s all folks ref See also Parallel computing Lock computer science References references DEFAULTSORT Giant Lock Category Concurrency control de Big Kernel Lock fr Verrou global du noyau ja ... more details
