it as I was playing with some other ways of doing kernel preemption.
You must still specify the PREEMPTION option in your config file to get a
preemptive kernel.
attributes. This is needed for AST's to be properly posted in a preemptive
kernel. They are backed by two new flags in p_sflag: PS_ASTPENDING and
PS_NEEDRESCHED. They are still accesssed by their old macros:
aston(), astoff(), etc. For completeness, an astpending() macro has been
added to check for a pending AST, and clear_resched() has been added to
clear need_resched().
- Rename syscall2() on the x86 back to syscall() to be consistent with
other architectures.
- I can't seem to reproduce the warning I got from WITNESS anymore.
- The fix was wrong. Since a uidinfo struct is a member of proc, it
makes sense for the locking order to be such that you are allowed to
hold proc and then grab the uidinfo lock.
- Use swi_* function names.
- Use void * to hold cookies to handlers instead of struct intrhand *.
- In sio.c, use 'driver_name' instead of "sio" as the name of the driver
lock to minimize diffs with cy(4).
- Add a set of MI helper functions for interrupt threads:
- ithread_create() creates a new interrupt thread
- ithread_destroy() destroys an interrupt thread
- ithread_add_handler() attaches a new handler to an interrupt thread
- ithread_remove_handler() detaches a handler from an interrupt thread
- Rename sinthand_add() and sched_swi() to swi_add() and swi_sched()
respectively so that they live in a consistent namespace.
- struct intrhand is no longer a public type. It would be private to
kern_intr.c but the current implementation of fast interrupts on the
alpha requires the type to be exported. However, all handlers should
be treated as void * cookies in the way that new-bus treats them. This
includes references to software interrupt handlers.
This mistake seems to have been benign until very recently, probably
until msmith's PCI code reshuffle which cleaned up a lot of things.
Still, my AIC7770 doesn't work again, but it at least probes the
EISA bus now.
will only display sleep mutexes held by the current process.
- Clean up some nits in the witness_display() function and add a ddb
command 'show witness' that dumps the hierarchy and order lists to the
console.
- Use queue(3) macros where appropriate.
- Resort the spin lock order list so that "com" is before "sched_lock".
Also, add appropriate #ifdef's around SMP and i386-specific mutexes.
- Add two new mutexes used to protect the ithread lists and tables to the
order list.

- Initialize curproc to point to each CPU's respective idleproc if their

- Keep track of the number of context switches performed by idleproc.
of returning an error code to the caller, NFS server op routines
must themselves build an error reply and return 0 to the caller.
This is achieved by replacing the erroneous return statements with
code that jumps forward to the op function's reply code. We need
to be careful to ensure that the 'struct mount' pointer is NULL
though, so that the final vn_finished_write() call becomes a no-op.

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the

need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

kmem_free() for now. Kmem_malloc() and kmem_free() now have appropriate

the index of the pollfd array to the number of fd's currently open, not
the maximum number of fd's. ie: if you had 0,1,2 open, you could not
use pollfd slots higher than 20. The specs say we only have to support
OPEN_MAX [64] entries but we allow way more than that.
