- pipespace is now able to resize non-empty pipes; this allows for many more resizing opportunities - Backing is no longer pre-allocated for the reverse direction of pipes. This direction is rarely (if ever) used, so this cuts the amount of map space allocated to a pipe in half. - Pipe growth is now much more dynamic; a pipe will now grow when the total amount of data it contains and the size of the write are larger than the size of pipe. Previously, only individual writes greater than the size of the pipe would cause growth. - In low memory situations, pipes will now shrink during both read and write operations, where possible. Once the memory shortage ends, the growth code will cause these pipes to grow back to an appropriate size. - If the full PIPE_SIZE allocation fails when a new pipe is created, the allocation will be retried with SMALL_PIPE_SIZE. This helps to deal with the situation of a fragmented map after a low memory period has ended. - Minor documentation + code changes to support the above. In total, these changes increase the total number of pipes that can be allocated simultaneously, drastically reducing the chances that pipe allocation will fail. Performance appears unchanged due to dynamic resizing. |

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.
