- Tweak it so it can also catch common errors with condition variables.
The change to kern_condvar.c is not included in this commit and will
come later.
- Don't call kmem_alloc() if operating in interrupt context, just fail
the allocation and disable debugging for the object. Makes it safe
to do mutex_init/rw_init/cv_init in interrupt context, when running
a LOCKDEBUG kernel.
- Use atomic ops directly, since rwlocks work the same way on all platforms.
- Try to make it a bit more cache efficient, and use branch hints.
- Fix a bug in rw_downgrade() where the turnstile lock was not released.
- Remove a couple of redundant assertions.
- Use atomic_swap instead of atomic_cas where it's safe to do so.
- After acquiring the turnstile lock in rw_vector_enter, check if the
owner is running again and spin if so.
- Introduce and use rw_onproc() instead of abusing mutex_onproc().
- Change the handoff/release algorithm to reduce the window when a rwlock
can held, but the owner not on a CPU.
there are no waiters. This gives a major boost to build.sh on larger
systems as directory vnode locks are exclusive for lookup, but are often
only held for a very short period of time.
This change has the potential to more readily expose lock order reversals
and other types of deadlock.
- G/C spinlockmgr() and simple_lock debugging.
- Always include the kernel_lock functions, for LKMs.
- Slightly improved subr_lockdebug code.
- Keep sizeof(struct lock) the same if LOCKDEBUG.
from doc/BRANCHES:
idle lwp, and some changes depending on it.
1. separate context switching and thread scheduling.
(cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw)
2. implement idle lwp.
3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces.
4. make scheduler(s) modular.
