struct umutex {
__lwpid_t m_owner;
uint32_t m_flags;
uint32_t m_ceilings[2];
uint32_t m_spare[4];
};
The m_owner represents owner thread, it is a thread id, in non-contested
case, userland can simply use atomic_cmpset_int to lock the mutex, if the
mutex is contested, high order bit will be set, and userland should do locking
and unlocking via kernel syscall. Flag UMUTEX_PRIO_INHERIT represents
pthread's PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutex, which when contention happens, kernel
should do priority propagating. Flag UMUTEX_PRIO_PROTECT indicates it is
pthread's PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT mutex, userland should initialize m_owner
to contested state UMUTEX_CONTESTED, then atomic_cmpset_int will be failure
and kernel syscall should be invoked to do locking, this becauses
for such a mutex, kernel should always boost the thread's priority before
it can lock the mutex, m_ceilings is used by PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT mutex,
the first element is used to boost thread's priority when it locked the mutex,
second element is used when the mutex is unlocked, the PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT
mutex's link list is kept in userland, the m_ceiling[1] is managed by thread
library so kernel needn't allocate memory to keep the link list, when such
a mutex is unlocked, kernel reset m_owner to UMUTEX_CONTESTED.

shared, if the flag is not set, it saves a vm_map_lookup() call.

it is not optimized but works well in my tests, while the umtx chain has

UNIX domain socket at the same time as the remote host is closing the

acquiring the UNIX domain socket subsystem lock, we need to revalidate
the connection pointers even though connect() has technically succeed,

perform the send.

linker_file_foreach() returns the value returned by the last invocation
of the predicate function. It also accepts a void * context pointer that
is passed to the predicate function as well. Using an iterator function
avoids exposing linker internals to the rest of the kernel making locking
simpler.
- Use linker_file_foreach() instead of walking the list of linker files
manually to lookup ndis files in ndis(4).
- Use linker_file_foreach() to implement linker_hwpmc_list_objects().
in setsockopt so that they can be compared correctly against negative
values. Passing in a negative value had a rather negative effect
on our socket code, making it impossible to open new sockets.

It is similar to debug.kdb.trap, except for it tries to cause a page fault
via a call to an invalid pointer. This can highlight differences between
a fault on data access vs. a fault on code call some CPUs might have.

that the first mbuf pointer in a receive socket buffer can't change
while the SB_LOCK sleepable lock is held on the socket buffer,
which is precisely what these functions do. No current protocols
invoke these functions, and removing them will help discourage them
from ever being used. I should have removed them years ago, but
lost track of it.

we intend for the user to be able to unload them later via kldunload(2)
instead of calling linker_load_module() and then directly adjusting the
ref count on the linker file structure. This makes the resulting
consumer code simpler and cleaner and better hides the linker internals
making it possible to sanely lock the linker.
Giant down in it.
- Push Giant down in kern_kldunload() and reorganize it slightly to avoid
using gotos. Also, expose this function to the rest of the kernel.
- Use a 'struct kld_file_stat' on the stack to read data under the lock
and then do one copyout() w/o holding the lock at the end to push the
data out to userland.

sockets:
1) A sender sends SCM_CREDS message to a reciever, struct cmsgcred;
2) A reciever sets LOCAL_CREDS socket option and gets sender
credentials in control message, struct sockcred.
Both methods use the same control message type SCM_CREDS with the
same control message level SOL_SOCKET, so they are indistinguishable
for the receiver. A difference in struct cmsgcred and struct sockcred
layouts may lead to unwanted effects.
Now for sockets with LOCAL_CREDS option remove all previous linked
SCM_CREDS control messages and then add a control message with
struct sockcred so the process specifically asked for the peer
credentials by LOCAL_CREDS option always gets struct sockcred.

I picked it up again. The scheduler is forked from ULE, but the
algorithm to detect an interactive process is almost completely
different with ULE, it comes from Linux paper "Understanding the
Linux 2.6.8.1 CPU Scheduler", although I still use same word
"score" as a priority boost in ULE scheduler.
Briefly, the scheduler has following characteristic:
1. Timesharing process's nice value is seriously respected,
timeslice and interaction detecting algorithm are based
on nice value.
2. per-cpu scheduling queue and load balancing.
3. O(1) scheduling.
4. Some cpu affinity code in wakeup path.
5. Support POSIX SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR.
Unlike scheduler 4BSD and ULE which using fuzzy RQ_PPQ, the scheduler
uses 256 priority queues. Unlike ULE which using pull and push, the
scheduelr uses pull method, the main reason is to let relative idle
cpu do the work, but current the whole scheduler is protected by the
big sched_lock, so the benefit is not visible, it really can be worse
than nothing because all other cpu are locked out when we are doing
balancing work, which the 4BSD scheduelr does not have this problem.
The scheduler does not support hyperthreading very well, in fact,
the scheduler does not make the difference between physical CPU and
logical CPU, this should be improved in feature. The scheduler has
priority inversion problem on MP machine, it is not good for
realtime scheduling, it can cause realtime process starving.
As a result, it seems the MySQL super-smack runs better on my
Pentium-D machine when using libthr, despite on UP or SMP kernel.
with firmware_unregister(). Previously when the last driver reference
had been dropped we would clear the list entry under the assumption
that the firmware module was about to be unloaded, but this was not
true if the firmware image had been loaded manually with kldload.
This makes it possible to manually kldload firmware images as a
workaround for drivers such as ipw that attempt to load firmware
while resuming after a suspend.
