- Close a race between UNIX domain pcb garbage collection (unp_gc()) and
file descriptor teardown (fdrop()) by adding a new garbage collection
flag FWAIT. unp_gc() sets FWAIT while it walks the message buffers
in a UNIX domain socket looking for nested file descriptor references
and clears the flag when it is finished. fdrop() checks to see if the
flag is set on a file descriptor whose refcount just dropped to 0 and
waits for unp_gc() to clear the flag before completely destroying the
file descriptor.

setting ftick = ltick = ticks in schedinit().
- Update the priority when we are pulled off of the run queue and when we
are inserted onto the run queue so that it more accurately reflects our
present status. This is important for efficient priority propagation
functioning.
- Move the frequency test into sched_pctcpu_update() so we don't repeat it
each time we'd like to call it.
- Put some temporary work-around code in sched_priority() in case the tick
mechanism produces a bad priority. Eventually this should revert to an

the most recently chosen index. This significantly improves nice
behavior. This allows a lower priority thread to run some multiple of
times before the higher priority thread makes it to the front of
the queue. A nice +20 cpu hog now only gets ~5% of the cpu when running
with a nice 0 cpu hog and about 1.5% with a nice -20 hog. A nice
difference of 1 makes a 4% difference in cpu usage between two hogs.
- Track a seperate insert and removal index. When the removal index is
empty it is updated to point at the current insert index.
- Don't remove and re-add a thread to the runq when it is being adjusted
down in priority.
- Pull some conditional code out of sched_tick(). It's looking a bit
large now.
- Remove the double queue mechanism for timeshare threads. It was slow
due to excess cache lines in play, caused suboptimal scheduling behavior
with niced and other non-interactive processes, complicated priority
lending, etc.
- Use a circular queue with a floating starting index for timeshare threads.
Enforces fairness by moving the insertion point closer to threads with
worse priorities over time.
- Give interactive timeshare threads real-time user-space priorities and
place them on the realtime/ithd queue.
- Select non-interactive timeshare thread priorities based on their cpu
utilization over the last 10 seconds combined with the nice value. This
gives us more sane priorities and behavior in a loaded system as
compared to the old method of using the interactivity score. The
interactive score quickly hit a ceiling if threads were non-interactive
and penalized new hog threads.
- Use one slice size for all threads. The slice is not currently
dynamically set to adjust scheduling behavior of different threads.
- Add some new sysctls for scheduling parameters.
Bug fixes/Clean up:
- Fix zeroing of td_sched after initialization in sched_fork_thread() caused
by recent ksegrp removal.
- Fix KSE interactivity issues related to frequent forking and exiting of
kse threads. We simply disable the penalty for thread creation and exit
for kse threads.
- Cleanup the cpu estimator by using tickincr here as well. Keep ticks and
ltick/ftick in the same frequency. Previously ticks were stathz and
others were hz.
- Lots of new and updated comments.
- Many many others.
Tested on: up x86/amd64, 8way amd64.
- runq_add_pri allows the caller to position the thread at any rqindex
regardless of priority.
- runq_choose_from() chooses the lowest priority thread starting from a given
index. The index is updated with the rqindex of the chosen thread. This
routine is used to pick the lowest priority relative to a given index.
- runq_remove_idx() updates the index if the run queue that held the removed
thread is now empty.

copyin()/copyout() for message type is separated from msgsnd()/msgrcv() and
it is done from its wrapper functions to support 32-bit emulations. After I
implemented this, I have briefly referenced NetBSD and Darwin. NetBSD passes
copyin()/copyout() function pointers from wrappers. Darwin passes size of

running thread's id on each cpu. This allow us to add in-kernel adaptive
spin for user level mutex. While spinning in user space is possible,
without correct thread running state exported from kernel, it hardly
can be implemented efficiently without wasting cpu cycles, however
exporting thread running state unlikely will be implemented soon as
it has to design and stablize interfaces. This implementation is
transparent to user space, it can be disabled dynamically. With this
change, mutex ping-pong program's performance is improved massively on
SMP machine. performance of mysql super-smack select benchmark is increased
about 7% on Intel dual dual-core2 Xeon machine, it indicates on systems
which have bunch of cpus and system-call overhead is low (athlon64, opteron,
and core-2 are known to be fast), the adaptive spin does help performance.
Added sysctls:
kern.threads.umtx_dflt_spins
if the sysctl value is non-zero, a zero umutex.m_spincount will
cause the sysctl value to be used a spin cycle count.
kern.threads.umtx_max_spins
the sysctl sets upper limit of spin cycle count.
