of the vnode ops, and if LKM support is included in the kernel,
always include the non-inline stubs regardless of whether or not
they're being used in the static kernel iamge.
routine. Works similarly fto pmap_prefer(), but allows callers
to specify a minimum power-of-two alignment of the region.
How we ever got along without this for so long is beyond me.
make all local variables static
use simplelocks - we really need only mutexes, full locks are not necessary
update couple of comments to be more accurate
add function pty_maxptys(), which provides a safe way to get&set maxptys - this
also supports setting maxptys to lower than current value, if the
value is lower or equal current number of ptys
to support arbitrary number of ptys without need of kernel recompile
(the extra device special files in /dev/ still need to be created, of course)
upper limit of supported ptys is controlled via new sysctl variable
kern.maxptys (KERN_MAXPTYS), which is raise-only and defaults to 512.
in SSTOP state, execpt P_SYSTEM and curproc processes. We have to way to
find the original state of the process so we can't restart scheduling,
so this can only be used at shutdown time.
XXX suspendsched() should also deal with processes running on other CPUs.
I don't know how to do that, and as long as we have a kernel big lock,
this shouldn't be a problem.
tsleep() instead of DELAY. Also, keep trying flushing buffers when the
number of dirty buffers decreases (20 rounds may not be enouth for a
very large buffer cache).
Using tsleep instead of delay gives a chance to others kernel threads to run,
which is needed for raidframe. With this change I've not been able to
reproduce the 'dirty buffer not flushed' problem with raidframe.
with the following modifications to the initial patch:
- rename SHOLD and P_HOST to SSUSPEND and P_SUSPEND to avoid confusion with
PHOLD()
- don't deal with SSUSPEND/P_SUSPEND in fork1(), if we come here while
scheduler is suspended we're forking proc0, which can't have P_SUSPEND set.
sched_suspend() suspends the scheduling of users process, by removing all
processes from the run queues and changing their state from SRUN to
SSUSPEND. Also mark all user process but curproc P_SUSPEND.
When a process has to be put in SRUN and is marked P_SUSPEND, it's placed in
the SSUSPEND state instead.
sched_resume() places all SSUSPEND processes back in SRUN, clear the P_SUSPEND
flag.
to update it, so don't bother with <machine/atomic.h>
Flush kernel_lock_release_all() and kernel_lock_acquire_count() (which
didn't do spinlock accounting correctly), and replace them with
spinlock_release_all() and spinlock_acquire_count().
- Periodically invoke roundrobin() from hardclock() on all cpu's rather
than from a timer callout; this allows time-slicing on non-primary cpu's.
- Make pscnt per-cpu.
- Notice psdiv changes on each cpu, and adjust pscnt at that point.
Also, invoke setstatclockrate() from the clock interrupt when each cpu
notices the divisor change, rather than when starting/stopping the
profiling clock.
- In simple_lock_switchcheck(), allow/enforce exactly one lock to be
held: sched_lock.
- Per e-mail to tech-smp from Bill Sommerfeld, r/w spin locks have
an interlock at splsched(), rather than splhigh().
in the non-MULTIPROCESSOR case (LOCKDEBUG requires it). Scheduler
lock is held upon entry to mi_switch() and cpu_switch(), and
cpu_switch() releases the lock before returning.
Largely from Bill Sommerfeld, with some minor bug fixes and
machine-dependent code hacking from me.
