get stuck into this page.

John Baldwin c5f3b30e68 Replace non-existent 'mtx_t' typedef'd type with 'struct mtx'. 2000-11-10 01:51:55 +00:00
Bosko Milekic bfd597212a Fixup some wrong statements in the new mbuf(9) man page.
Also introduce a bunch of (missed?) macros and functions.
This man page still needs a lot of work, most likely a re-ordering
of the macros/functions, and a more complete, more accurate, listing of
available routines.
A good and worthy start nonetheless.

Poul-Henning Kamp 1921a06d6a Introduce the M_ZERO flag to malloc(9)
Instead of:

        foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT);
        bzero(foo, sizeof(foo));

You can now (and please do) use:

        foo = malloc(sizeof(foo), M_WAIT | M_ZERO);

In the future this will enable us to do idle-time pre-zeroing of
malloc-space.

Jason Evans 0384fff8c5 Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*().  See mutex(9).  (Note: The
  alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
  preempted (i386 only).
