on EPIPE for all file descriptor types:
- provide O_NOSIGPIPE for open,kqueue1,pipe2,dup3,fcntl(F_{G,S}ETFL) [NetBSD]
- provide SOCK_NOSIGPIPE for socket,socketpair [NetBSD]
- provide SO_NOSIGPIPE for {g,s}seckopt [NetBSD/FreeBSD/MacOSX]
- provide F_{G,S}ETNOSIGPIPE for fcntl [MacOSX]
- Add fd_set_exclose() to encapsulate uses of FIO{,N}CLEX, O_CLOEXEC, F{G,S}ETFD
- Add a pipe1() function to allow passing flags to the fd's that pipe(2)
opens to ease implementation of linux pipe2(2)
- Factor out fp handling code from open(2) and fhopen(2)
on IPL32 platforms so add code in sys_ioctl (and netbsd32_ioctl) to deal
with the older/smaller diskabel size. This change makes disklabel the
same for both IPL32 and LP64 platforms.
- Avoid atomics in more places.
- Remove the per-descriptor mutex, and just use filedesc_t::fd_lock.
It was only being used to synchronize close, and in any case we needed
to take fd_lock to free the descriptor slot.
- Optimize certain paths for the <NDFDFILE case.
- Sprinkle more comments and assertions.
- Cache more stuff in filedesc_t.
- Fix numerous minor bugs spotted along the way.
- Restructure how the open files array is maintained, for clarity and so
that we can eliminate the membar_consumer() call in fd_getfile(). This is
mostly syntactic sugar; the main functional change is that fd_nfiles now
lives alongside the open file array.
Some measurements with libmicro:
- simple file syscalls are like close() are between 1 to 10% faster.
- some nice improvements, e.g. poll(1000) which is ~50% faster.
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.
testing by rmind@ and myself.
Which approach to use is still being discussed, but I would like to get
this out of my working tree. If we decide to use a different approach
there is no problem with revisiting this.
existing behaviour: the unsleep method unlocks and wakes the swapper if
needs be. If false, the caller is doing a batch operation and will take
care of that later. This is kind of ugly, but it's difficult for the caller
to know which lock to release in some situations.
- 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>
int foo(struct lwp *l, void *v, register_t *retval)
to:
int foo(struct lwp *l, const struct foo_args *uap, register_t *retval)
Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).
98% done by automated scripts.
Also, error case might happen before proc_vmspace_getref() (hi <ad>!).
Thanks CID 4551 and 4552. This is serious, pullup will be requested.
OK by <wrstuden>.
so that the same common code can be used with a kernel-resident 'iov'
array from the 32-bit compat code (which currently has its own copy
of these routines.
P_*/L_* naming convention, and rename the in-kernel flags to avoid
conflict. (P_ -> PK_, L_ -> LW_ ). Add back the (now unused) LSDEAD
constant.
Restores source compatibility with pre-newlock2 tools like ps or top.

- don't initialize it needlessly.
- fix the poll code the same way the select code was fixed, so that it
computes the remaining time to sleep properly.
select(2) timeouts. Introduced via timecounter branch from a
tvtohz() conversion.
The left over timeout was not decremented when re-starting
the sleep in select.
- 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)

- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
