- 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.
of a socket() call with sockipprotoname() if the first parameter (domain)
is PF_INET or PF_INET6.
Old parsing behavior before this change:
ping6 CALL socket(PF_INET6,SOCK_RAW,0x3a)
New behavior after this change:
ping6 CALL socket(PF_INET6,SOCK_RAW,IPPROTO_ICMPV6)
of auto_or_type.
The old parsing code would incorrectly decode a socket() call in the
ping6 program as:
CALL socket(PF_PUP|PF_ECMA|PF_APPLETALK|PF_COIP|PF_SIP,SOCK_DGRAM,0)
The new parsing code decodes the same socket() call as:
CALL socket(PF_INET6,SOCK_DGRAM,0)
However, auto_if_type() uses if/else statements in C instead
of a single switch statement, when mapping an integer value to
a #define. For certain cases where multiple #define constants
alias to a single integer value, auto_if_type() makes things easier
to parse than auto_switch_type().
functions are required to skip the requested distance, so we can avoid
lots of bookkeeping which would otherwise be necessary.

for reasons explained in the comment I added.

is not easy to set the inclusion order so that there are no multiple

I am not sure if there is a standard for having a leading and/or trailing _

There are still several unprotected headers here so it might be useful
to do the same thing on other files as well as the need arises.

check length of the pathname in the range 0<=n<=NFS_MAXPATHLEN,
not 0<n<=NFS_MAXPATHLEN. This fixes a minor interoperability problem
that the FreeBSD NFS server did not allow a symlink pointing the empty
pathname.

other encapsulation data) before the IP header in the packet being examined.
More commits to come to round out this functionality. This commit should
have no practical effect but clears the way for what is coming.

Annotate that we still signal the CV more than necessary and should
fix this.
