1 microsecond into the future, the thread could enter an untimed sleep.
- Change the signature of _lwp_park() to accept an lwpid_t and second
hint pointer, but do so in a way that remains compatible with older
pthread libraries. This can be used to wake another thread before the
calling thread goes asleep, saving at least one syscall + involuntary
context switch. This turns out to be a fairly large win on the condvar
benchmarks that I have tried.
- Mark some more syscalls MP safe.
pointers to and from 64bit kernel pointers. Instead use the defines
NETBSD32PTR64(p32) to read a 32bit pointer and (the new) NETBSD32PTR32(p32,p64)
to write a 32bit pointer throughout.
The 32bit pointer is now a struct to enforce the above.
amd64 (with linux emul) and sparc64 will both compile (when the arch stuff
goes in soon), and amd64 still runs some i386 binaries.
netbsd32_lwp.c, and remove remaining traces of SA.
This still needs some MD (and possibly MI, depending on the chosen
solution) changes to actually work.
