25 * The initialization of the session daemon is done in multiple phases.
26 *
27 * While all threads are launched near-simultaneously, only some of them
28 * are needed to ensure the session daemon can start to respond to client
29 * requests.
30 *
31 * There are two important guarantees that we wish to offer with respect
32 * to the initialisation of the session daemon:
33 * - When the daemonize/background launcher process exits, the sessiond
34 * is fully able to respond to client requests,
35 * - Auto-loaded sessions are visible to clients.
36 *
37 * In order to achieve this, a number of support threads have to be launched
38 * to allow the "client" thread to function properly. Moreover, since the
39 * "load session" thread needs the client thread, we must provide a way
40 * for the "load session" thread to know that the "client" thread is up
41 * and running.
42 *
43 * Hence, the support threads decrement the lttng_sessiond_ready counter
44 * while the "client" threads waits for it to reach 0. Once the "client" thread
45 * unblocks, it posts the message_thread_ready semaphore which allows the
46 * "load session" thread to progress.
47 *
48 * This implies that the "load session" thread is the last to be initialized
49 * and will explicitly call sessiond_signal_parents(), which signals the parents
50 * that the session daemon is fully initialized.
51 *
52 * The four (4) support threads are:
53 * - agent_thread
54 * - notification_thread
55 * - rotation_thread
56 * - health_thread

65 * This memory barrier is paired with the one performed by
66 * the client thread after it has seen that 'lttng_sessiond_ready' is 0.
67 *
68 * The purpose of these memory barriers is to ensure that all
69 * initialization operations of the various threads that call this
70 * function to signal that they are ready are commited/published
71 * before the client thread can see the 'lttng_sessiond_ready' counter
72 * reach 0.
73 *
74 * Note that this could be a 'write' memory barrier, but a full barrier
75 * is used in case the code using this utility changes. The performance
76 * implications of this choice are minimal since this is a slow path.
