Subject: [patch 43/44] posix-cpu-timers: Utilize timerqueue for storage
Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2019 16:32:24 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190819143805.512118358@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20190819143141.221906747@linutronix.de

Using a linear O(N) search for timer insertion affects execution time and
Dcache footprint badly with a larger number of timers.

Switch the storage to a timerqueue which is already used for hrtimers and
alarmtimers. It does not affect the size of struct k_itimer as it.alarm is
still larger.

The extra list head for the expiry list will go away later.
