- Trade off granularity to reduce overhead, since the current model doesn't appear to reduce contention substantially: move to a single harvest mutex protecting harvesting queues, rather than one mutex per source plus a mutex for the free list. - Reduce mutex operations in a harvesting event to 2 from 4, and maintain lockless read to avoid mutex operations if the queue is full. - When reaping harvested entries from the queue, move all entries from the queue at once, and when done with them, insert them all into a thread-local queue for processing; then insert them all into the empty fifo at once. This reduces O(4n) mutex operations to O(2) mutex operations per wakeup. In the future, we may want to look at re-introducing granularity, although perhaps at the granularity of the source rather than the source class; both the new and old strategies would cause contention between different instances of the same source (i.e., multiple network interfaces).

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.
