pthread_setaffinity_np(3) and pthread_getaffinity_np(3) functions,
provides simple code example.
- Add cpuset(3) manual page, which describes API of CPU-sets.
Thanks <wiz> for many improvements!
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;
Proposed on: <tech-kern>. Reviewed by: <ad>.
- Play scrooge again and chop more cycles off acquire/release.
- Spin while the lock holder is running on another CPU (adaptive mutexes).
- Do non-atomic release.
Threadreg:
- Add the necessary hooks to use a thread register.
- Add the code for i386, using %gs.
- Leave i386 code disabled until xen and COMPAT_NETBSD32 have the changes.
-falign-functions=32, since these two really get hammered on. To make them
faster needs a threadreg or TLS, unless there is a way to tell gcc that a
library-local (pthread__threadmask) variable does not need to be PIC.
Instead, make the deferred wakeup list a per-thread array and pass down
the lwpid_t's that way.
- In pthread_cond_wait(), take the mutex before dealing with early wakeup.
In this way there should never be contention on the CV's spinlock if
the app follows POSIX rules (there should only be contention on the
user-provided mutex).
- Add a port of the kernel's rwlocks. The rwlock's spinlock is only taken if
there is contention. This is enabled where atomic ops are available. Right
now that is only i386 and amd64 because I don't have other hardware to
test with. It's trivial to add stubs for other architectures as long as
they have compare-and-swap. When we have proper atomic ops the old rwlock
code can be removed.
- Add a new mutex implementation that's similar to the kernel's mutexes, but
uses compare-and-swap to maintain the waiters list, so no spinlocks are
involved. Same caveats apply as for the rwlocks.
to be transformed into the do-nothing-when-libpthread-isn't-linked libc
stub names. This will permit library code that uses <pthread.h> and pthread
functions "defensively" to not need to link against libpthread and not need
to be patched to the threadlib.h API.
pthread.h pthread_int.h pthread_md.h
Should help prevent the problem I raised in [kern/23946], based on
a hint from Christian Limpach.
Add MAKEVERBOSE support.
with the shell's command to change limits. Make the PTHREAD_STACKSIZE
environment variable override the default stack size. The old fixed
stack size behaviour can be enable with PT_FIXEDSTACKSIZE_LG when building
libpthread.
for that file to not be built with profiling. This makes it reasonable to
use pthread_{set,get}specific() to implement thread-safe profiline call counts.
* DPSRCS contains extra dependencies, but is _NOT_ added to CLEANFILES.
This is a change of behaviour. If a Makefile wants the clean semantics
it must specifically append to CLEANFILES.
Resolves PR toolchain/5204.
* To recap: .d (depend) files are generated for all files in SRCS and DPSRCS
that have a suffix of: .c .m .s .S .C .cc .cpp .cxx
* If YHEADER is set, automatically add the .y->.h to DPSRCS & CLEANFILES
* Ensure that ${OBJS} ${POBJS} ${LOBJS} ${SOBJS} *.d depend upon ${DPSRCS}
* Deprecate the (short lived) DEPENDSRCS
Update the various Makefiles to these new semantics; generally either
adding to CLEANFILES (because DPSRCS doesn't do that anymore), or replacing
specific .o dependencies with DPSRCS entries.
Tested with "make -j 8 distribution" and "make distribution".
to sleep a lot, and there's no need for each such thread to consume kernel
resources.
(accidentally checked the pthread.c part of this in yesterday; no reason
not to finish the job)
