the BSD/POSIX per-process timers: - "struct ptimer" is split into "struct itimer" (common interval timer data) and "struct ptimer" (per-process timer data, which contains a "struct itimer"). - Introduce a new "struct itimer_ops" that supplies information about the specific kind of interval timer, including it's processing queue, the softint handle used to schedule processing, the function to call when the timer fires (which adds it to the queue), and an optional function to call when the CLOCK_REALTIME clock is changed by a call to clock_settime() or settimeofday(). - Rename some fuctions to clearly identify what they're operating on (ptimer vs itimer). - Use kmem(9) to allocate ptimer-related structures, rather than having dedicated pools for them. Welcome to NetBSD 9.99.77.
NetBSD
NetBSD is a free, fast, secure, and highly portable Unix-like Open Source operating system. It is available for a wide range of platforms, from large-scale servers and powerful desktop systems to handheld and embedded devices.
Building
You can cross-build NetBSD from most UNIX-like operating systems. To build for amd64 (x86_64), in the src directory:
./build.sh -U -u -j4 -m amd64 -O ~/obj release
Additional build information available in the BUILDING file.
Binaries
Testing
On a running NetBSD system:
cd /usr/tests; atf-run | atf-report
Troubleshooting
- Send bugs and patches via web form.
- Subscribe to the mailing lists. The netbsd-users list is a good choice for many problems; watch current-users if you follow the bleeding edge of NetBSD-current.
- Join the community IRC channel #netbsd @ freenode.
