General idea: only consider the LWP on the VP for signal delivery, all
other LWPs are either asleep or running from waking up until repossessing
the VP.
- in kern_sig.c:kpsignal2: handle all states the LWP on the VP can be in
- in kern_sig.c:proc_stop: only try to stop the LWP on the VP. All other
LWPs will suspend in sa_vp_repossess() until the VP-LWP donates the VP.
Restore original behaviour (before SA-specific hacks were added) for
non-SA processes.
- in kern_sig.c:proc_unstop: only return the LWP on the VP
- handle sa_yield as case 0 in sa_switch instead of clearing L_SA, add an
L_SA_YIELD flag
- replace sa_idle by L_SA_IDLE flag since it was either NULL or == sa_vp
Also don't output itimerfire overrun warning if the process is already
exiting.
Also g/c sa_woken because it's not used.
Also g/c some #if 0 code.
(enabled by defining __HAVE_BIGENDIAN_BITOPS in <machine/types.h>). The
default is still LSB ordering. This change will allow the powerpc MD
implementations of setrunqueue/remrunqueue to be nuked.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
a new inline, resched_proc().
* When performing the resched check, check the priority against the
current priority on the CPU the process last ran on, not always the
current CPU.
This is done by adding an extra argument to mi_switch() and
cpu_switch() which specifies the new process. If NULL is passed,
then the new function chooseproc() is invoked to wait for a new
process to appear on the run queue.
Also provides an opportunity for optimisations if "switching to self".
Also added are C versions of the setrunqueue() and remrunqueue()
low-level primitives if __HAVE_MD_RUNQUEUE is not defined by MD code.
All these changes are contingent upon the __HAVE_CHOOSEPROC flag being
defined by MD code to indicate that cpu_switch() supports the changes.
counters. These counters do not exist on all CPUs, but where they
do exist, can be used for counting events such as dcache misses that
would otherwise be difficult or impossible to instrument by code
inspection or hardware simulation.
pmc(9) is meant to be a general interface. Initially, the Intel XScale
counters are the only ones supported.
wrap this all up in a CHECKSIGS() macro. Also, in psignal1(),
signotify() SRUN and SIDL processes if __HAVE_AST_PERPROC is defined.
Per discussion w/ mycroft.

in SSTOP state, execpt P_SYSTEM and curproc processes. We have to way to
find the original state of the process so we can't restart scheduling,
so this can only be used at shutdown time.
XXX suspendsched() should also deal with processes running on other CPUs.
I don't know how to do that, and as long as we have a kernel big lock,
this shouldn't be a problem.
with the following modifications to the initial patch:
- rename SHOLD and P_HOST to SSUSPEND and P_SUSPEND to avoid confusion with
PHOLD()
- don't deal with SSUSPEND/P_SUSPEND in fork1(), if we come here while
scheduler is suspended we're forking proc0, which can't have P_SUSPEND set.
sched_suspend() suspends the scheduling of users process, by removing all
processes from the run queues and changing their state from SRUN to
SSUSPEND. Also mark all user process but curproc P_SUSPEND.
When a process has to be put in SRUN and is marked P_SUSPEND, it's placed in
the SSUSPEND state instead.
sched_resume() places all SSUSPEND processes back in SRUN, clear the P_SUSPEND
flag.
to update it, so don't bother with <machine/atomic.h>
Flush kernel_lock_release_all() and kernel_lock_acquire_count() (which
didn't do spinlock accounting correctly), and replace them with
spinlock_release_all() and spinlock_acquire_count().
