With external time travel, a LOT of message can end up being exchanged on the socket, taking a significant amount of time just to do that. Add a new shared memory optimisation to that, where a number of changes are made: - the controller sends a client ID and a shared memory FD (and a logging FD we don't use) in the ACK message to the initial START - the shared memory holds the current time and the free_until value, so that there's no need to exchange messages for that - if the client that's running has shared memory support, any client (the running one included) can request the next time it wants to run inside the shared memory, rather than sending a message, by also updating the free_until value - when shared memory is enabled, RUN/WAIT messages no longer have an ACK, further cutting down on messages Together, this can reduce the number of messages very significantly, and reduce overall test/simulation run time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
