is sent to a process, psignal() needs to schedule an AST for the
process if the process is runnable, not just if it is current, so that
pending signals get checked for on the next return of the process to
user mode. This wasn't practical until recently because the AST flag
was per-cpu so setting it for a non-current process would usually just
cause a bogus AST for the current process.
For non-current processes looping in user mode, it took accidental
(?) magic to deliver signals at all. Signals were usually delivered
late as a side effect of rescheduling (need_resched() sets astpending,
etc.). In pre-SMPng, delivery was delayed by at most 1 quantum (the
need_resched() call in roundrobin() is certain to occur within 1
quantum for looping processes). In -current, things are complicated
by normal interrupt handlers being threads. Missing handling of the
complications makes roundrobin() a bogus no-op, but preemptive
scheduling sort of works anyway due to even larger bogons elsewhere.
always on curproc. This is needed to implement signal delivery properly
(see a future log message for kern_sig.c).
Debogotified the definition of aston(). aston() was defined in terms
of signotify() (perhaps because only the latter already operated on
a specified process), but aston() is the primitive.
Similar changes are needed in the ia64 versions of cpu.h and trap.c.
I didn't make them because the ia64 is missing the prerequisite changes
to make astpending and need_resched per-process and those changes are
too large to make without testing.
through the use of a new build directive, MACHINE_CPU, which contains a
list of the CPU generations/features for which optimizations are desired.
This feature will be extended to cover the ports tree in the future.
Currently OpenSSL provides optimizations for i386, i586 and i686-class
CPUs. Currently it has not been tested on an i386 or i486.
Teach make(1) to provide sensible defaults for MACHINE_CPU if it is not
defined (namely, the lowest common denominator CPU we support for each
architecture). Currently this is i386 for the i386 architecture and ev4
for the alpha. sys.mk also sets the variable as a last resort for
consistency with MACHINE_ARCH and bootstrapping from very old versions of
make.
Benchmarks show a significant speed increase even in the i386 case, with
additional improvements for i586 and i686 systems. For maximum performance
define MACHINE_CPU=i686 i586 i386 in /etc/make.conf.

what is currently in -CURRENT, but should hopefully be the last time
any application breakage is caused there. As soon as any major
inconveniences are removed, the definition of the in-kernel struct
ucred should be conditionalized upon defined(_KERNEL).
This also changes struct export_args to remove dependency on the
constantly-changing struct ucred, as well as limiting the bounds
of the size fields to the correct size. This means: a) mountd and
friends won't break all the time, b) mountd and friends won't crash
the kernel all the time if they don't know what they're doing wrt
actual struct export_args layout.

This code saves a couple of microseconds per interrupt even on a
fast CPU. You normally would not care, except under heavy tinygram

lookup vop so that it defaulted to using vop_eopnotsupp for strange
lookups like the ones for open("/dev/null/", ...) and stat("/dev/null/",
...). This mainly caused the wrong errno to be returned by vfs syscalls
(EOPNOTSUPP is not in POSIX, and is not documented in connection with
specfs in open.2 and is not documented in stat.2 at all). Also, lookup
vops are apparently required to set *ap->a_vpp to NULL on error, but
vop_eopnotsupp is too broken to do this.
