clock are supported. I have plan to merge XSI timer ITIMER_REAL and other
two CPU timers into the new code, current three slots are available for
the XSI timers.
The SIGEV_THREAD notification type is not supported yet because our
sigevent struct lacks of two member fields:
sigev_notify_function
sigev_notify_attributes
I have found the sigevent is used in AIO, so I won't add the two members
unless the AIO code is adjusted.
changes in MD code are trivial, before this change, trapsignal and
sendsig use discrete parameters, now they uses member fields of
ksiginfo_t structure. For sendsig, this change allows us to pass
POSIX realtime signal value to user code.
2. Remove cpu_thread_siginfo, it is no longer needed because we now always
generate ksiginfo_t data and feed it to libpthread.
3. Add p_sigqueue to proc structure to hold shared signals which were
blocked by all threads in the proc.
4. Add td_sigqueue to thread structure to hold all signals delivered to
thread.
5. i386 and amd64 now return POSIX standard si_code, other arches will
be fixed.
6. In this sigqueue implementation, pending signal set is kept as before,
an extra siginfo list holds additional siginfo_t data for signals.
kernel code uses psignal() still behavior as before, it won't be failed
even under memory pressure, only exception is when deleting a signal,
we should call sigqueue_delete to remove signal from sigqueue but
not SIGDELSET. Current there is no kernel code will deliver a signal
with additional data, so kernel should be as stable as before,
a ksiginfo can carry more information, for example, allow signal to
be delivered but throw away siginfo data if memory is not enough.
SIGKILL and SIGSTOP have fast path in sigqueue_add, because they can
not be caught or masked.
The sigqueue() syscall allows user code to queue a signal to target
process, if resource is unavailable, EAGAIN will be returned as
specification said.
Just before thread exits, signal queue memory will be freed by
sigqueue_flush.
Current, all signals are allowed to be queued, not only realtime signals.

not change the current file position. In SAT speak:
preadv:readv::pread:read and pwritev:writev::pwrite:write.
- Try to reduce code duplication some by merging most of the old
kern_foov() and dofilefoo() functions into new dofilefoo() functions
that are called by kern_foov() and kern_pfoov(). The non-v functions
now all generate a simple uio on the stack from the passed in arguments
and then call kern_foov(). For example, read() now just builds a uio and
calls kern_readv() and pwrite() just builds a uio and calls kern_pwritev().

audit event identifier associated with each system call, which will
be stored by makesyscalls.sh in the sy_auevent field of struct sysent.
For now, default the audit identifier on all system calls to AUE_NULL,
but in the near future, other BSM event identifiers will be used. The
mapping of system calls to event identifiers is many:one due to
multiple system calls that map to the same end functionality across
compatibility wrappers, ABI wrappers, etc.

pointer to the corresponding struct thread to the thread ID (lwpid_t)
assigned to that thread. The primary reason for this change is that
libthr now internally uses the same ID as the debugger and the kernel
when referencing to a kernel thread. This allows us to implement the
support for debugging without additional translations and/or mappings.
To preserve the ABI, the 1:1 threading syscalls, including the umtx
locking API have not been changed to work on a lwpid_t. Instead the
1:1 threading syscalls operate on long and the umtx locking API has
not been changed except for the contested bit. Previously this was
the least significant bit. Now it's the most significant bit. Since
the contested bit should not be tested by userland, this change is
not expected to be visible. Just to be sure, UMTX_CONTESTED has been
removed from <sys/umtx.h>.

that it is safe to sleep inside of these routines if necessary. This

You should build and boot a new kernel BEFORE doing a `make world'
as the new kernel will know about binaries using the old statfs
structure, but an old kernel will not know about the new system
calls that support the new statfs structure. Running an old kernel
after a `make world' will cause programs such as `df' that do a
statfs system call to fail with a bad system call.
