- Store machine dependent CTRL_LED address in ctrl_led
- Fix LED debug functions to use stored MD values
Actually I only used these debug routines at the very early porting stage
before I got working kernel printf. Heh.
XXX: news1200 has not been tested for many years.
- we should fix genassym.sh to generate proper unsigned values rather than
remove use of such values in each source
- 0xe0dc0000 is port to control LED so INTIOBASE1700_OFF is not proper name
- these LED debug code didn't work on news1200 and it should be fixed anyway
to all GENERIC-like kernel config files where SYSV* options were already
present (commented out if the SYSV* options are commented out).
Fix lib/25897 and lib/25898.
- move per VP data into struct sadata_vp referenced from l->l_savp
* VP id
* lock on VP data
* LWP on VP
* recently blocked LWP on VP
* queue of LWPs woken which ran on this VP before sleep
* faultaddr
* LWP cache for upcalls
* upcall queue
- add current concurrency and requested concurrency variables
- make process exit run LWP on all VPs
- make signal delivery consider all VPs
- make timer events consider all VPs
- add sa_newsavp to allocate new sadata_vp structure
- add sa_increaseconcurrency to prepare new VP
- make sys_sa_setconcurrency request new VP or wakeup idle VP
- make sa_yield lower current concurrency
- set sa_cpu = VP id in upcalls
- maintain cached LWPs per VP
process context ('reaper').
From within the exiting process context:
* deactivate pmap and free vmspace while we can still block
* introduce MD cpu_lwp_free() - this cleans all MD-specific context (such
as FPU state), and is the last potentially blocking operation;
all of cpu_wait(), and most of cpu_exit(), is now folded into cpu_lwp_free()
* process is now immediatelly marked as zombie and made available for pickup
by parent; the remaining last lwp continues the exit as fully detached
* MI (rather than MD) code bumps uvmexp.swtch, cpu_exit() is now same
for both 'process' and 'lwp' exit
uvm_lwp_exit() is modified to never block; the u-area memory is now
always just linked to the list of available u-areas. Introduce (blocking)
uvm_uarea_drain(), which is called to release the excessive u-area memory;
this is called by parent within wait4(), or by pagedaemon on memory shortage.
uvm_uarea_free() is now private function within uvm_glue.c.
MD process/lwp exit code now always calls lwp_exit2() immediatelly after
switching away from the exiting lwp.
g/c now unneeded routines and variables, including the reaper kernel thread
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.
Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.
Remove p_raslock and rename p_lwplock p_lock (one lock is enough).
Simplify window test when adding a ras and correct test on VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS.
Avoid unpredictable branch in i386 locore.S
(pad fields left in struct proc to avoid kernel bump)
containing signal posting, kernel-exit handling and sa_upcall processing.
XXX the pc532, sparc, sparc64 and vax ports should have their
XXX userret() code rearranged to use this.
