affinity (cpu_lock protects these operations now).
- Disallow setting of state of CPU to to offline, if there are bound LWPs,
which have no CPU to migrate.
- Disallow setting of affinity for the LWP(s), if all CPUs in the dynamic
CPU-set are offline.
- sched_setaffinity: fix invalid check of kcpuset_isset().
- Rename cpu_setonline() to cpu_setstate().
Should fix PR/39349.
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.
Make the FreeBSD and Linux compat code convert the parameters to their
native representation and call the native routines.
Remove KAUTH_PROCESS_SCHEDULER_GET/SET.
Update documentation and examples.
XXX: For now, only the Linux compat code does the priority conversion
XXX: right.
Linux priority conversion code from yamt@, thanks!
Okay yamt@.
words, don't pass an action and a request, and just use a single action to
indicate what is the operation in question.
This is the first step in fixing PR/37986, which calls for policy/priority
checking in the secmodel code. Right now we're lacking room for another
parameter required to make a decision, and this change makes room for such.
- revert struct sched_param changes to restore ABI.
- instead, add 'policy' arguments to _sched_{get,set}param syscalls.
(this is an API/ABI change.)
- correct kauth_authorize_process arguments.
while i'm here,
- don't bother to kmem_alloc for 4-byte structure.
in-kernel priority is used. Reported by <drochner>.
Minor fixes for scheduling calls to conform the POSIX:
- If pid is equal to zero, use the calling process;
- In case of permission problem, return EPERM instead of EACESS;
- sched_setscheduler() should return previously used policy;
- pthread_* calls should return the error code or zero;
Should fix the namespace problems (and builds of some packages):
- Move cpuset_t defintion from pset.h to sched.h;
- Remove the #include of pset.h in pthread.h;
Add schedctl(8) - a program to control scheduling of processes and threads.
Notes:
- This is supported only by SCHED_M2;
- Migration of LWP mechanism will be revisited;

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.
