is running on other cpu, the CALLOUT_PENDING flag is temporarily
cleared. Then, callout_stop() on this, in fact active, callout fails
because CALLOUT_PENDING is not set, and callout_stop() returns 0.
Now, in sleepq_check_timeout(), the failed callout_stop() causes the
sleepq code to execute mi_switch() without even setting the wmesg,
since the switch-out is supposed to be transient. In fact, the thread
is put off the CPU for full timeout interval, instead of being put on
runq immediately. Until timeout fires, the process is unkillable for
obvious reasons.
Fix this by marking the migrating callouts with CALLOUT_DFRMIGRATION
flag. The flag is cleared by callout_stop_safe() when the function
detects a migration, besides returning the success. The softclock()
rechecks the flag for migrating callout and cancels its execution if
the flag was cleared meantime.

over just the active vnodes associated with a mount point to replace
MNT_VNODE_FOREACH_ALL in the vfs_msync, ffs_sync_lazy, and qsync

The vfs_msync routine is run every 30 seconds for every writably
mounted filesystem. It ensures that any files mmap'ed from the
filesystem with modified pages have those pages queued to be
written back to the file from which they are mapped.
The ffs_lazy_sync and qsync routines are run every 30 seconds for
every writably mounted UFS/FFS filesystem. The ffs_lazy_sync routine
ensures that any files that have been accessed in the previous
30 seconds have had their access times queued for updating in the
filesystem. The qsync routine ensures that any files with modified
quotas have those quotas queued to be written back to their
associated quota file.
In a system configured with 250,000 vnodes, less than 1000 are
typically active at any point in time. Prior to this change all
250,000 vnodes would be locked and inspected twice every minute
by the syncer. For UFS/FFS filesystems they would be locked and
inspected six times every minute (twice by each of these three
routines since each of these routines does its own pass over the
vnodes associated with a mount point). With this change the syncer
now locks and inspects only the tiny set of vnodes that are active.

count, e.g., those vnodes that are not on the free list. Note that
this list is in addition to the list of all the vnodes associated
with a mount point.
To avoid adding another set of linkage pointers to the vnode
structure, the active list uses the existing linkage pointers
used by the free list (previously named v_freelist, now renamed
v_actfreelist).
This update adds the MNT_VNODE_FOREACH_ACTIVE interface that loops

The Clang compiler already inlines these functions, so they do not
show up in a kernel backtrace which is confusing. Also you cannot
set their frame in kgdb which means that it is impossible to view
their local variables. So, while the produced code is unchanged,

The primary changes are that the user of the interface no longer
needs to manage the mount-mutex locking and that the vnode that
is returned has its mutex locked (thus avoiding the need to check
to see if its is DOOMED or other possible end of life senarios).
To minimize compatibility issues for third-party developers, the
old MNT_VNODE_FOREACH interface will remain available so that this
change can be MFC'ed to 9. Following the MFC to 9, MNT_VNODE_FOREACH
will be removed in head.
The reason for this update is to prepare for the addition of the
MNT_VNODE_FOREACH_ACTIVE interface that will loop over just the
active vnodes associated with a mount point (typically less than
1% of the vnodes associated with the mount point).

incremented the counter, and later on, when exiting, checked that

Also, I believe there wasn't any good reason for checking P_SYSTEM

Interface locks and descriptor locks are converted from mutex(9) to rwlock(9).
This greately improves performance: in most common case we need to acquire 1

This was suggested by glebius@. We protect filter by requesting interface

- Cover struct bpf_if under BPF_INTERNAL define. This permits including bpf.h

a mutex after a thread has unlocked it, it event writes data to the mutex
memory to clear contention bit, there is a race that other threads
can lock it and unlock it, then destroy it, so it should not write
data to the mutex memory if there isn't any waiter.
The new operation UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE2 try to fix the problem. It
requires thread library to clear the lock word entirely, then
call the WAKE2 operation to check if there is any waiter in kernel,
and try to wake up a thread, if necessary, the contention bit is set again
by the operation. This also mitgates the chance that other threads find
the contention bit and try to enter kernel to compete with each other
to wake up sleeping thread, this is unnecessary. With this change, the
mutex owner is no longer holding the mutex until it reaches a point
where kernel umtx queue is locked, it releases the mutex as soon as
possible.
Performance is improved when the mutex is contensted heavily. On Intel

loaded and unloaded, also have sdt.ko register callbacks with kern_sdt.c
that will be called when a newly loaded KLD module adds more probes or
a module with probes is unloaded.
This fixes two issues: first, if a module with SDT probes was loaded after
sdt.ko was loaded, those new probes would not be available in DTrace.
Second, if a module with SDT probes was unloaded while sdt.ko was loaded,
the kernel would panic the next time DTrace had cause to try and do
anything with the no-longer-existent probes.
This makes it possible to create SDT probes in KLD modules, although there
are still two caveats: first, any SDT probes in a KLD module must be part
of a DTrace provider that is defined in that module. At present DTrace
only destroys probes when the provider is destroyed, so you can still
panic the system if a KLD module creates new probes in a provider from a
different module(including the kernel) and then unload the the first module.
Second, the system will panic if you unload a module containing SDT probes
while there is an active D script that has enabled those probes.
