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;
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.
