Alias Existing
CLOCK_REALTIME_PRECISE CLOCK_REALTIME
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_PRECISE CLOCK_MONOTONIC
CLOCK_UPTIME_PRECISE CLOCK_UPTIME
Add experimental low-precision clockid_t names corresponding to these
clocks, but implemented using cached timestamps in kernel rather than
a full time counter query. This offers a minimum update rate of 1/HZ,
but in practice will often be more frequent due to the frequency of
time stamping in the kernel:
New clockid_t name Approximates existing clockid_t
CLOCK_REALTIME_FAST CLOCK_REALTIME
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_FAST CLOCK_MONOTONIC
CLOCK_UPTIME_FAST CLOCK_UPTIME
Add one additional new clockid_t, CLOCK_SECOND, which returns the
current second without performing a full time counter query or cache
lookup overhead to make sure the cached timestamp is stable. This is
intended to support very low granularity consumers, such as time(3).
The names, visibility, and implementation of the above are subject
to change, and will not be MFC'd any time soon. The goal is to
expose lower quality time measurement to applications willing to
sacrifice accuracy in performance critical paths, such as when taking
time stamps for the purpose of rescheduling select() and poll()
timeouts. Future changes might include retrofitting the time counter
infrastructure to allow the "fast" time query mechanisms to use a
different time counter, rather than a cached time counter (i.e.,
TSC).
NOTE: With different underlying time mechanisms exposed, using
different time query mechanisms in the same application may result in
relative non-monoticity or the appearance of clock stalling for a
single clockid_t, as a cached time stamp queried after a precision
time stamp lookup may be "before" the time returned by the earlier
live time counter query.

When all file systems have a time stamp of zero, which is the case
for example when the root file system is on a read-only medium, we
ended up not calling inittodr() at all. A potential uncleanliness
existed as well. If multiple file systems had a non-zero time stamp,
we would call inittodr() multiple times. While this should not be
harmful, it's definitely not ideal.
Fix both issues by iterating over the mounted file systems to find
the largest time stamp and call inittodr() exactly once with that
time stamp. This could of course be a zero time stamp if none of the
mounted file systems have a non-zero time stamp. In that case the
annoying errors mentioned in the commit log for revision 1.186 still
haven't been avoided. The bottom line is that inittodr() should not
complain when it gets a time base of zero. At the time of this
commit only alpha seems to have that problem.

reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to
slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records.
Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records
become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record
commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations.
These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace
records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain
the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations
where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the
scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to
globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their
own context as required.
- Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they
are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records
are still used.
- Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously
generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the
global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to.
- When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the
process.
- When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending
per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can.
Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global
ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the
future.
- When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap,
signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records.
- When a process exits, flush any pending records.
- Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records.
- Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to
prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating
traces for ktrace events.
Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for
synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue
depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on. I.e., performing a
drain every (n) records.

- Replace notion of current and saved accounting credential/vnode with a

accounting logic substantially.
- Replace acct_mtx with acct_sx, a sleepable lock held exclusively during
reconfiguration and space polling, but shared during log entry
generation. This avoids holding a mutex over sleepable VFS operations.
- Hold the sx lock over the duration of the I/O so that the vnode I/O
cannot occur after vnode close, which could occur previously if
accounting was disabled as a process exited.
- Write the accounting log entry with Giant conditionally acquired based
on the file system where the log is stored. Previously, the accounting
code relied on the caller acquiring Giant.
- Acquire Giant conditionally in the accounting callout based on the file
system where the accounting log is stored. Run the callout MPSAFE.
- Expose acct_suspended via a read-only sysctl so it is possibly to
programmatically determine whether accounting is suspended or not without
attempting to parse logs.
- Check both acct_vp and acct_suspended lock-free before entering the
accounting sx lock in acct().
- When accounting is disabled due to a VBAD vnode (i.e., forceable unmount),
generate a log message indicating accounting has been disabled.

socket file descriptor garbage collection code, which is intended to
detect and clear cycles of orphaned file descriptors that are "in-flight"
in a socket when that socket is closed before they are received. The
algorithm present was both run at poor times (resulting in recursion and
reentrance), and also buggy in the presence of parallelism. In order to
fix these problems, make the following changes:
- When there are in-flight sockets and a UNIX domain socket is destroyed,
asynchronously schedule the garbage collector, rather than running it
synchronously in the current context. This avoids lock order issues
when the garbage collection code reenters the UNIX domain socket code,
avoiding lock order reversals, deadlocks, etc. Run the code
asynchronously in a task queue.
- In the garbage collector, when skipping file descriptors that have
entered a closing state (i.e., have f_count == 0), re-test the FDEFER
flag, and decrement unp_defer. As file descriptors can now transition
to a closed state, while the garbage collector is running, it is no
longer the case that unp_defer will remain an accurate count of
deferred sockets in the mark portion of the GC algorithm. Otherwise,
the garbage collector will loop waiting waiting for unp_defer to reach
zero, which it will never do as it is skipping file descriptors that
were marked in an earlier pass, but now closed.
- Acquire the UNIX domain socket subsystem lock in unp_discard() when
modifying the unp_rights counter, or a read/write race is risked with
other threads also manipulating the counter.
While here:
- Remove #if 0'd code regarding acquiring the socket buffer sleep lock in
the garbage collector, this is not required as we are able to use the
socket buffer receive lock to protect scanning the receive buffer for
in-flight file descriptors on the socket buffer.
- Annotate that the description of the garbage collector implementation
is increasingly inaccurate and needs to be updated.
- Add counters of the number of deferred garbage collections and recycled
file descriptors. This will be removed and is here temporarily for
debugging purposes.
With these changes in place, the unp_passfd regression test now appears
to be passed consistently on UP and SMP systems for extended runs,
whereas before it hung quickly or panicked, depending on which bug was

For each child process whose status has been changed, a SIGCHLD instance
is queued, if the signal is stilling pending, and process changed status
several times, signal information is updated to reflect latest process

and increase flexibility to allow various different approaches to be tried
in the future.
- Split struct ithd up into two pieces. struct intr_event holds the list
of interrupt handlers associated with interrupt sources.
struct intr_thread contains the data relative to an interrupt thread.
Currently we still provide a 1:1 relationship of events to threads
with the exception that events only have an associated thread if there
is at least one threaded interrupt handler attached to the event. This
means that on x86 we no longer have 4 bazillion interrupt threads with
no handlers. It also means that interrupt events with only INTR_FAST
handlers no longer have an associated thread either.
- Renamed struct intrhand to struct intr_handler to follow the struct
intr_foo naming convention. This did require renaming the powerpc
MD struct intr_handler to struct ppc_intr_handler.
- INTR_FAST no longer implies INTR_EXCL on all architectures except for
powerpc. This means that multiple INTR_FAST handlers can attach to the
same interrupt and that INTR_FAST and non-INTR_FAST handlers can attach
to the same interrupt. Sharing INTR_FAST handlers may not always be
desirable, but having sio(4) and uhci(4) fight over an IRQ isn't fun
either. Drivers can always still use INTR_EXCL to ask for an interrupt
exclusively. The way this sharing works is that when an interrupt
comes in, all the INTR_FAST handlers are executed first, and if any
threaded handlers exist, the interrupt thread is scheduled afterwards.
This type of layout also makes it possible to investigate using interrupt
filters ala OS X where the filter determines whether or not its companion
threaded handler should run.
- Aside from the INTR_FAST changes above, the impact on MD interrupt code
is mostly just 's/ithread/intr_event/'.
- A new MI ddb command 'show intrs' walks the list of interrupt events
dumping their state. It also has a '/v' verbose switch which dumps
info about all of the handlers attached to each event.
- We currently don't destroy an interrupt thread when the last threaded
handler is removed because it would suck for things like ppbus(8)'s
braindead behavior. The code is present, though, it is just under
#if 0 for now.
- Move the code to actually execute the threaded handlers for an interrrupt
event into a separate function so that ithread_loop() becomes more
readable. Previously this code was all in the middle of ithread_loop()
and indented halfway across the screen.
- Made struct intr_thread private to kern_intr.c and replaced td_ithd
with a thread private flag TDP_ITHREAD.

possible for do_execve() to call exit1() rather than returning. As a
result, the sequence "allocate memory; call kern_execve; free memory"

This commit documents this astonishing behaviour and adds a call to
exec_free_args() before the exit1() call in do_execve(). Since all
the users of kern_execve() in the tree use exec_free_args() to free
the command-line arguments after kern_execve() returns, this should
be safe, and it fixes the memory leak which can otherwise occur.

Add a new private thread flag to indicate that the thread should
not sleep if runningbufspace is too large.
Set this flag on the bufdaemon and syncer threads so that they skip
the waitrunningbufspace() call in bufwrite() rather than than
checking the proc pointer vs. the known proc pointers for these two
threads. A way of preventing these threads from being starved for
I/O but still placing limits on their outstanding I/O would be
desirable.
Set this flag in ffs_copyonwrite() to prevent bufwrite() calls from
blocking on the runningbufspace check while holding snaplk. This
prevents snaplk from being held for an arbitrarily long period of
time if runningbufspace is high and greatly reduces the contention
for snaplk. The disadvantage is that ffs_copyonwrite() can start
a large amount of I/O if there are a large number of snapshots,
which could cause a deadlock in other parts of the code.
Call runningbufwakeup() in ffs_copyonwrite() to decrement runningbufspace
before attempting to grab snaplk so that I/O requests waiting on
snaplk are not counted in runningbufspace as being in-progress.
Increment runningbufspace again before actually launching the
original I/O request.
Prior to the above two changes, the system could deadlock if enough
I/O requests were blocked by snaplk to prevent runningbufspace from
falling below lorunningspace and one of the bawrite() calls in
ffs_copyonwrite() blocked in waitrunningbufspace() while holding
snaplk.

Give DEVFS a proper inode called struct cdev_priv. It is important
to keep in mind that this "inode" is shared between all DEVFS
mountpoints, therefore it is protected by the global device mutex.
Link the cdev_priv's into a list, protected by the global device
mutex. Keep track of each cdev_priv's state with a flag bit and
of references from mountpoints with a dedicated usecount.
Reap the benefits of much improved kernel memory allocator and the
generally better defined device driver APIs to get rid of the tables
of pointers + serial numbers, their overflow tables, the atomics
to muck about in them and all the trouble that resulted in.
This makes RAM the only limit on how many devices we can have.
The cdev_priv is actually a super struct containing the normal cdev
as the "public" part, and therefore allocation and freeing has moved
to devfs_devs.c from kern_conf.c.
The overall responsibility is (to be) split such that kern/kern_conf.c
is the stuff that deals with drivers and struct cdev and fs/devfs
handles filesystems and struct cdev_priv and their private liason
exposed only in devfs_int.h.
Move the inode number from cdev to cdev_priv and allocate inode
numbers properly with unr. Local dirents in the mountpoints
(directories, symlinks) allocate inodes from the same pool to
guarantee against overlaps.
Various other fields are going to migrate from cdev to cdev_priv
in the future in order to hide them. A few fields may migrate
from devfs_dirent to cdev_priv as well.
Protect the DEVFS mountpoint with an sx lock instead of lockmgr,
this lock also protects the directory tree of the mountpoint.
Give each mountpoint a unique integer index, allocated with unr.
Use it into an array of devfs_dirent pointers in each cdev_priv.
Initially the array points to a single element also inside cdev_priv,
but as more devfs instances are mounted, the array is extended with
malloc(9) as necessary when the filesystem populates its directory
tree.
Retire the cdev alias lists, the cdev_priv now know about all the
relevant devfs_dirents (and their vnodes) and devfs_revoke() will
pick them up from there. We still spelunk into other mountpoints
and fondle their data without 100% good locking. It may make better
sense to vector the revoke event into the tty code and there do a
destroy_dev/make_dev on the tty's devices, but that's for further
study.

as they both interact with the tty code (!MPSAFE) and may sleep if the
tty buffer is full (per comment).
Modify all consumers of uprintf() and tprintf() to hold Giant around
calls into these functions. In most cases, this means adding an
acquisition of Giant immediately around the function. In some cases
(nfs_timer()), it means acquiring Giant higher up in the callout.
With these changes, UFS no longer panics on SMP when either blocks are
exhausted or inodes are exhausted under load due to races in the tty
code when running without Giant.
NB: Some reduction in calls to uprintf() in the svr4 code is probably
desirable.
NB: In the case of nfs_timer(), calling uprintf() while holding a mutex,
or even in a callout at all, is a bad idea, and will generate warnings
and potential upset. This needs to be fixed, but was a problem before
this change.
NB: uprintf()/tprintf() sleeping is generally a bad ideas, as is having

shutdown procedures (which have a duration of more than 120 seconds).
We have two user-space affecting shutdown timeouts: a "soft" one in
/etc/rc.shutdown and a "hard" one in init(8). The first one can be
configured via /etc/rc.conf variable "rcshutdown_timeout" and defaults
to 30 seconds. The second one was originally (in 1998) intended to be
configured via sysctl(8) variable "kern.shutdown_timeout" and defaults
to 120 seconds.
Unfortunately, the "kern.shutdown_timeout" was declared "unused" in 1999
(as it obviously is actually not used within the kernel itself) and
hence was intentionally but misleadingly removed in revision 1.107 from
init_main.c. Kernel sysctl(8) variables are certainly a wrong way to
control user-space processes in general, but in this particular case the
sysctl(8) variable should have remained as it supports init(8), which
isn't passed command line flags (which in turn could have been set via
/etc/rc.conf), etc.
As there is already a similar "kern.init_path" sysctl(8) variable which
directly affects init(8), resurrect the init(8) shutdown timeout under
sysctl(8) variable "kern.init_shutdown_timeout". But this time document
it as being intentionally unused within the kernel and used by init(8).

and most do. This avoids having multiple event handler types and
fall-back/precedence logic in devfs.
This changes the kernel API for /dev cloning, and may affect third
party packages containg cloning kernel modules.

the buffer has not been wired and we are holding any non-sleep-able locks,
drop a witness warning. If the buffer has not been wired, it is possible
that the writing of the data can sleep, especially if the page is not in
memory. This can result in a number of different locking issues, including
dead locks.

integer to an unsigned long. This lifts variables like the maximum
number of pages available for shared memory from 2^31 to 2^32 on 32
bit architectures, and from 2^31 to 2^64 on 64 bit architectures.
It should be noted that this changes breaks ABI on 64 bit architectures
because the size of the shmmax, shmmin, shmmni, shmseg and shmall members
of the shminfo structure has changed.

checking if the mount wants knotes to be activated in the VOP hooks.
So, we add a new vnode flag VV_NOKNOTE that is only set in getnewvnode(),
if necessary, and check it when activating knotes.
Since the flags are not erased when a vnode is being held, we can safely
read them.

ip_output(), which then tests for a multicast forwarding case.
For support macros in in_var.h to check multicast address lists, assert
that in_multi_mtx is held.
Acquire in_multi_mtx around iteration over the IPv4 multicast address

Acquire in_multi_mtx when manipulating the IPv4 layer multicast addresses,

Lock down accesses to IPv4 multicast addresses in IGMP, or assert the

Eliminate spl's associated with IPv4 multicast addresses, portions of

kenv environment in kern_environment.c switches to dynamic kenv. The prior
call sets the static variable hintp to the static hints in subr_hints.c
(hintmode==0).
However, changes to the environment are not detected by the resource_xxx
lookups after the change to dynamic kernel environment, so the lookup
routines only report the old stuff of hintmode==0, even after the change to
the dynamic kenv. This causes kenv users to see a different environment than
the kernel routines.
This is a problem in the mixer.c code that looks up initial mixer volume
settings from the hints: If the hints are dynamic and not from the
device.hints file, mixer.c doesn't see them, but kenv does.
The patch from the PR (modified to comply to the style of the function)
solves this.

This has no security implications since only root is allowed to use
kenv(1) (and corrupt the kernel memory after adding too much variables
previous to this commit).
This is based upon the PR [1] mentioned below, but extended to check both
bounds (in case of an overflow of the counting variable) and to comply
to the style of the function. An overflow of the counting variable
shouldn't happen after adding the check for the upper bound, but better
safe than sorry (in case some other function in the kernel overwrites
random memory).
An interested soul may want to add a printf to notify root in case the
bounds are hit.
Also allocate KENV_SIZE+1 entries (the array is NULL-terminated), since
the comment for KENV_SIZE says it's the maximum number of environment
strings. [2]
