1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it
was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to
disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode.
2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the
bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is
copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original
available for futher allocations.
3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and
i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink
need not be written.
4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing
daemon can choose to skip over them.
it only on the buf_daemon process). The problem is that when the
syncer process starts running the worklist, it wants to delete
lots of files. It does this by VFS_VGET'ing the vnodes, clearing
the blocks in them and bdwrite'ing the buffer. It can process close
to a thousand files per second which generates a large number of
dirty buffers. So, giving it special priviledge at the buffer trough
leads to trouble as the buf_daemon does occationally need a free
buffer to proceed and if the syncer has used every last one up,
we are toast.
of dirrem structure rather than the collaterally created freeblks
and freefile structures. Limit the rate of buffer dirtying by the
syncer process during periods of intense file removal.
check before the inode is unlocked while grabbing its parent directory.
Once it is unlocked, other operations may slip in that could make
the inode-is-flushed check fail. Allowing other writes to the inode
before returning from fsync does not break the semantics of fsync
since we have flushed everything that was dirty at the time of the
fsync call.
init and fini functions. Now the code is very careful to hold no
locks when calling these functions. Thus the dynamic linker cannot
be re-entered with a lock already held.
Remove the tolerance for recursive locking that I added in revision
1.2 of dllockinit.c. Recursive locking shouldn't happen any more.
Mozilla and JDK users: I'd appreciate confirmation that things still
work right (or at least the same) with these changes.
While here fix some minor style bugs (whitespacing) and move the
make target from Makefile.upgrade to this file.
Simplify the make target to make it readable.
users can more easily upgrade.
buildworld now makes usr.sbin/config in bootstrap-tools so that
when you first make buildworld, buildkernel will use config(8)
from the temp. world tree (and of course also the compiler).
Which kernel to built is determined by the KERNEL variable. You
can have as many kernels listed as you like. When a config file
exists for the given MACHINE it will be built. When KERNEL has
not been defined it will be set to "GENERIC GENERIC98".
The first valid kernel named in the list will be used by the
installkernel target.
When NOCLEAN is defined the kernel object directory is *not*
removed by config first. This is in line with normal buildworld
behaviour.
The buildkernel target makes aicasm in sys/dev/aic7xxx first and
unconditionally. This hack allows us to cross-build kernels and
can go away when the problem is solved in a structural way.
hinted at in the previous config(8) commits. I've spoken about this with
a few people and after the initial suprise wore off they thought it wasn't
a bad idea. The upshot of it is that all the files*, Makefile*, options*
files are all right next to each other in the hope that people making
changes to one set will remember the others.
Note, config(8) looks to sys/conf first, and falls back to sys/$mach/conf
still, so this doesn't stop people working in subdirs for new platforms.
But once it's in the tree it can be moved next to the other files so that
the non-i386 platforms are (hopefully) treated a little better than as if
they were "second class" ports.
This does not change any user editable files. the config program is
still run in the same directory as before, the per-platform files
(GENERIC, LINT etc) are still in the same place.

This resolve 2 problems.

-reverse lookup for IPv6 loopback addr(::1) was strange, but fixed
included in all C files if it makes sense (i.e., for compiling kernels
but not for compiling modules), so including it explicitly just
complicates module makefiles.
COMPAT_LINUX are there. It shouldn't be and isn't used after config
time, except to complicate the svr4 module makefile.
Moved options for emulators to a separate section.
-U_KERNEL became negative when all all the genassym.c's were converted
to be cross-built.
Use "genassym ... > ${.TARGET}", not "genassym -o $@ ...", so that
genassym(1) doesn't need to support -o.
Removed duplicate -D_KERNEL from CFLAGS.
Removed triplicate -D_KERNEL from flags for compiling svr4_locore.s.
