that scheduler locks are special in this regard - adaptive locks cannot
be in the path due to turnstiles. Randomly spotted/reported by uebayasi@.
- Remove unused lwp_relock() and replace lwp_lock_retry() by simplifying
lwp_lock() and sleepq_enter() a little.
- Give alllwp its own cache-line and mark lwp_cache pointer as read-mostly.
OK ad@
- update the linux syscall table for each platform.
- support new-style (NPTL) linux pthreads on all platforms.
clone() with CLONE_THREAD uses 1 process with many LWPs
instead of separate processes.
- move the contents of sys__lwp_setprivate() into a new
lwp_setprivate() and use that everywhere.
- update linux_release[] and linux32_release[] to "2.6.18".
- adjust placement of emul fork/exec/exit hooks as needed
and adjust other emul code to match.
- convert all struct emul definitions to use named initializers.
- change the pid allocator to allow multiple pids to refer to the same proc.
- remove a few fields from struct proc that are no longer needed.
- disable the non-functional "vdso" code in linux32/amd64,
glibc works fine without it.
- fix a race in the futex code where we could miss a wakeup after
a requeue operation.
- redo futex locking to be a little more efficient.
Rename real routines to proc_find() and pgrp_find(), remove PFIND_* flags
and have consistent behaviour. Provide proc_find_raw() for special cases.
Fix memory leak in sysctl_proc_corename().
COMPAT_LINUX: rework ptrace() locking, minimise differences between
different versions per-arch.
Note: while this change adds some formal cosmetics for COMPAT_DARWIN and
COMPAT_IRIX - locking there is utterly broken (for ages).
Fixes PR/43176.
to it from kern_proc.c to kern_lwp.c. This makes kern_proc
"scheduling-clean" and more easily usable in environments with a
non-integrated scheduler (like, to take a random example, rump).
debug threaded live apps: Add an optional lwpid in PT_STEP and PT_CONTINUE to
indicate which lwp to operate on, and implement the glue required to make it
work.
DTrace adds a pointer to the lwp and proc structures which it uses to
manage its state. These are opaque from the kernel perspective to keep
the kernel free of CDDL code. The state arenas are kmem_alloced and freed
as proccesses and threads are created and destoyed.
Also add a check for trap06 (privileged/illegal instruction) so that
DTrace can check for D scripts that may have triggered the trap so it
can clean up after them and resume normal operation.
Ok with core@.
- Addresses the issue described in PR/38828.
- Some simplification in threading and sleepq subsystems.
- Eliminates pmap_collect() and, as a side note, allows pmap optimisations.
- Eliminates XS_CTL_DATA_ONSTACK in scsipi code.
- Avoids few scans on LWP list and thus potentially long holds of proc_lock.
- Cuts ~1.5k lines of code. Reduces amd64 kernel size by ~4k.
- Removes __SWAP_BROKEN cases.
Tested on x86, mips, acorn32 (thanks <mpumford>) and partly tested on
acorn26 (thanks to <bjh21>).
Discussed on <tech-kern>, reviewed by <ad>.
most cases, use a proper constructor. For proplib, give a local
equivalent of POOL_INIT for the kernel object implementation. This
way the code structure can be preserved, and a local link set is
not hazardous anyway (unless proplib is split to several modules,
but that'll be the day).
tested by booting a kernel in qemu and compile-testing i386/ALL
taking a reference to curlwp's by calling fd_hold(). If lwp_create()
is called from fork1(), then l2 != curlwp, but l2's and not curlwp's
filedesc_t whose reference we should take.
This change stops the problem I describe in
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2009/07/09/msg005422.html>,
where /dev/rsd0a is never properly closed after fsck / runs on it.
This change seems to quiet my USB backup drive, sd0 at scsibus0 at
umass0, which had stopped spinning down when it was not in use:
The unit probably stayed open after mount(8) tried (and failed:
errant fstab entry) to mount it.
I am confident that this change is an improvement, but I doubt that
it is the last word on the matter. I hate to get under the filedesc_t
abstraction by fiddling with fd_refcnt, and there may be something
I have missed, so somebody with greater understanding of the file
descriptors code should have a look.
- Fix a preemption bug in CURCPU_IDLE_P() that can lead to a bogus
assertion failure on DEBUG kernels.
- Fix MP/preemption races with timecounter detachment.
1) Since we want to check for upcalls only once, take LW_SA_UPCALL
out of the while(l->l_flags & LW_USERRET) loop.
2) since the goal is to keep SA code out of userret() (and especially
all the emulations that include userret() but will never do SA),
ALWAYS set LW_SA_UPCALL when we set SAVP_FLAG_NOUPCALLS. Drop the
test for it in lwp_userret() since it will never be set bare.
3) Adapt sa_upcall_userret() to clear LW_SA_UPCALL if it's no longer
needed. If we have gained upcalls since sa_yield(), we will deliver
them next time around.

- Change minimal time-quantum to ~20 ms.
- Thus remove unneeded pool in M2, and unused sched_lwp_exit().
- Do not increase l_slptime twice for SCHED_4BSD (regression fix).
mi_switch(), migration for LSONPROC is now performed via idle loop.
Handles/fixes on-CPU case in lwp_migrate(), misc.
Closes PR/38169, idea of migration via idle loop by Andrew Doran.
one of the following:
- Holding kernel_lock (indicating that the code is not MT safe).
- Bracketing critical sections with kpreempt_disable/kpreempt_enable.
- Holding the interrupt priority level above IPL_NONE.
Statistics on kernel preemption are reported via event counters, and
where preemption is deferred for some reason, it's also reported via
lockstat. The LWP priority at which preemption is triggered is tuneable
via sysctl.
