- machine/mutex.h -> sys/mutex.h

dc13e6dfbb Axe the idle_event eventhandler, and add a MD cpu_idle function used
for things such as halting CPU's, idling CPU's, etc.

86bc23af90 Don't needlessly pass the diagnostic counter to the idle_event event
handlers.

3650b37578 - Wrap the sanity checks for staying in the idle loop for absurdly long
amounts of time in #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC
- Call vm_page_zero_idle() during the idle loop.

1931cf940a - Heavyweight interrupt threads on the alpha for device I/O interrupts.
- Make softinterrupts (SWI's) almost completely MI, and divorce them
  completely from the x86 hardware interrupt code.
  - The ihandlers array is now gone.  Instead, there is a MI shandlers array
    that just contains SWI handlers.
  - Most of the former machine/ipl.h files have moved to a new sys/ipl.h.
- Stub out all the spl*() functions on all architectures.

bdf3d8b954 Create an event (idle_event) which is invoked every time around the
idle loop.  Machine-dependant code can elect to eg. take power-saving
actions when this event is invoked.

7ab37af1ed - Add a new process flag P_NOLOAD that marks a process that should be
ignored during load average calcuations.
- Set this flag for the idle processes and the softinterrupt process.

f6a0af8015 Idle processes are always runnable, so let them state at SRUN. 2000-09-15 19:49:48 +00:00

0384fff8c5 Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*().  See mutex(9).  (Note: The
  alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
  preempted (i386 only).
