proclist_mutex and proclist_lock into a single adaptive mutex (proc_lock).
Implications:
- Inspecting process state requires thread context, so signals can no longer
be sent from a hardware interrupt handler. Signal activity must be
deferred to a soft interrupt or kthread.
- As the proc state locking is simplified, it's now safe to take exit()
and wait() out from under kernel_lock.
- The system spends less time at IPL_SCHED, and there is less lock activity.
- Add a lot of missing selinit() and seldestroy() calls.
- Merge selwakeup() and selnotify() calls into a single selnotify().
- Add an additional 'events' argument to selnotify() call. It will
indicate which event (POLL_IN, POLL_OUT, etc) happen. If unknown,
zero may be used.
Note: please pass appropriate value of 'events' where possible.
Proposed on: <tech-kern>
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

- Add a wsevent_inject function that atomically adds a set of events to an
event queue and change all code that directly messed with a queue to use it.
- Replace the WSEVENT_WAKEUP macro with a regular function.
- Make WSEVENT_QSIZE, PWSEVENT and splwsevent private definitions to
wsevent.c, instead of exposing them in the header file.
- Make the wsevent_init function take a process to attach to the queue,
instead of leaving this task to the caller (which always did it).
Reviewed in tech-kern@.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
kqueue provides a stateful and efficient event notification framework
currently supported events include socket, file, directory, fifo,
pipe, tty and device changes, and monitoring of processes and signals
kqueue is supported by all writable filesystems in NetBSD tree
(with exception of Coda) and all device drivers supporting poll(2)
based on work done by Jonathan Lemon for FreeBSD
initial NetBSD port done by Luke Mewburn and Jason Thorpe
many bugs have been fixed).
Changes:
The wskbd, wsmouse, and wsmux are now "sub-classes" of wsevsrc, which is
a source of ws events. This make the structure of those drivers a little
more uniform.
Many bug fixes involving adding and removing devices from muxes.
When a kernel is configured without wsmux there will now be none (unlike
before where you got a console mux anyway).
The kernel now compiles with all combinations of ws devices present.
