Make some variables and functions static when not used outside of a module.
Make variables in headers extern.
Delete the unused db_find_watchpoint() function.
"earliest" firing callout in a bucket. This allows us to skip
the scan up the bucket if no callouts are due in the bucket.
A cheap O(1) hint update is done at callout insertion (if new callout
is earlier than hint) and removal (is bucket empty). A thorough
refresh of the hint is done when the bucket is traversed.
This doesn't matter much on machines with small values of hz
(e.g. i386), but on systems with large values of hz (e.g. Alpha),
it has a definite positive effect.
Also, keep the callwheel stats in evcnts, so that you can view them
with "vmstat -e".
pointer indicating how to print the symbol. This allows db_printsym()
to called in places where db_printf() is not an appropriate output
function.
While straightforward, apologies in advance if I've introduced any minor
syntax errors; I was unable to test compilation this on all the affected
platforms.
timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
overflow (always hated that).
replaced "/m" flag with:
/a == show process address info
/n == show normal process info [currently the default]
/w == show process wait/emul info
