into modules. By and large this commit:
- shuffles header files and ifdefs
- splits code out where necessary to be modular
- adds module glue for each of the components
- adds/replaces hooks for things that can be installed at runtime
we no longer need to guard against access from hardware interrupt handlers.
Additionally, if cloning a process with CLONE_SIGHAND, arrange to have the
child process share the parent's lock so that signal state may be kept in
sync. Partially addresses PR kern/37437.
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.
A rather excessive amount of 'appending 64' to names seems to have happened
when linux won support for files > 4G.
technically the linux32_sys_fcntl() function should error the 64bit file
locking requests - but life is too short.
The 64bit linux emulation versions can't be used because the lock structure
alignment and field sizes all differ.
Since there need to be 4 different versions of the linux struct flock, and
amd64 kernel needs 3 of them compiled in, rather than replicating the same
code block twice more, move the body of the code into a few #defines
that can be expanded with the correct types in the linux[32]_sys_fcntl[64]()
functions.
Should fix problems running progams like skype running under linux32
emulation on amd64.
- Move uid16 functions to their own file linux_uid16.c, included by
needed archs (arm, i386 and m68k).
- Add new MI types linux_{u,g}id16_t.
- Add macros to handle linux_uid16_t and uid_t conversions.
- Add linux_sys_getres{uid,gid}16 syscalls, to fix an overflow with
bad sizes given to copyout when linux_sys_getres{uid,gid} are used.
- Update arm syscall table to use more uid16 functions.
- Lock processes, credentials, filehead etc correctly.
- Acquire a read hold on sysctl_treelock if only doing a query.
- Don't wire down the output buffer. It doesn't work correctly and the code
regularly does long term sleeps with it held - it's not worth it.
- Don't hold locks other than sysctl_lock while doing copyout().
- Drop sysctl_lock while doing copyout / allocating memory in a few places.
- Don't take kernel_lock for sysctl.
- Fix a number of bugs spotted along the way
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.
