is twofold: 1. When a 1:1 or M:N threaded process dumps core, we need to put the register state of each of its kernel threads in the core file. This can only be done by differentiating the pid field in the respective note. For this we need the tid. 2. When thread support is present for remote debugging the kernel with gdb(1), threads need to be identified by an integer due to limitations in the remote protocol. This requires having a tid. To minimize the impact of having thread IDs, threads that are created as part of a fork (i.e. the initial thread in a process) will inherit the process ID (i.e. tid=pid). Subsequent threads will have IDs larger than PID_MAX to avoid interference with the pid allocation algorithm. The assignment of tids is handled by thread_new_tid(). The thread ID allocation algorithm has been written with 3 assumptions in mind: 1. IDs need to be created as fast a possible, 2. Reuse of IDs may happen instantaneously, 3. Someone else will write a better algorithm. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
