activation (i.e., applications are using libpthread). This is because
SCHED_ULE sometimes puts P_SA processes into ksq_next unnecessarily.
Which doesn't give fair amount of CPU time to processes which are
using scheduler-activation-based threads when other (semi-)CPU-intensive,
non-P_SA processes are running.
Further work will no doubt be done by jeffr at a later date.

with the correct alignment. This is important because this calls to
library static constructors are made from here. The bug in the old crt*.s
files hid this because in this case, two wrongs do indeed make a right.
Also, call _rtld_bind() with the correct alignment, because it calls back
into the pthread library locking functions. If things happen just
the wrong way, we get a SIG10 due to the broken stack alignment.
distinguish between debugger inserted breakpoints and fixed
breakpoints. While here, make sure the break instruction never
ends up in the last slot of a bundle by forcing it to be an
M-unit instruction. This makes it easier for use to skip over
it.
are actually layered on top of the KeTimer API in subr_ntoskrnl.c, just
as it is in Windows. This reduces code duplication and more closely
imitates the way things are done in Windows.
- Modify ndis_encode_parm() to deal with the case where we have
a registry key expressed as a hex value ("0x1") which is being
read via NdisReadConfiguration() as an int. Previously, we tried
to decode things like "0x1" with strtol() using a base of 10, which
would always yield 0. This is what was causing problems with the
Intel 2200BG Centrino 802.11g driver: the .inf file that comes
with it has a key called RadioEnable with a value of 0x1. We
incorrectly decoded this value to '0' when it was queried, hence
the driver thought we wanted the radio turned off.
- In if_ndis.c, most drivers don't accept NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_AUTO,
but NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_SHARED may not be right in some cases,
so for now always use NDIS_80211_AUTHMODE_OPEN.
NOTE: There is still one problem with the Intel 2200BG driver: it
happens that the kernel stack in Windows is larger than the kernel
stack in FreeBSD. The 2200BG driver sometimes eats up more than 2
pages of stack space, which can lead to a double fault panic.
For the moment, I got things to work by adding the following to
my kernel config file:
options KSTACK_PAGES=8
I'm pretty sure 8 is too big; I just picked this value out of a hat
as a test, and it happened to work, so I left it. 4 pages might be
enough. Unfortunately, I don't think you can dynamically give a
thread a larger stack, so I'm not sure how to handle this short of
putting a note in the man page about it and dealing with the flood
of mail from people who never read man pages.
only done minimal testing on one of these cards and the firmware folks
have been extremely uncooperative in answering my qeustions about them, so
hopefully they will work ok for everyone.
This completes the effort to handle dependent functions, which are used
in some machines for irq link resources. Also, clean up some nearby
comments while I'm at it.
level of abstraction for any and all CPU mask and CPU bitmap variables
so that platforms have the ability to break free from the hard limit
of 32 CPUs, simply because we don't have more bits in an u_int. Note
that the type is not supposed to solve massive parallelism, where
the number of CPUs can be larger than the width of the widest integral
type. As such, cpumask_t is not supposed to be a compound type. If
such would be necessary in the future, we can deal with the issues
then and there. For now, it can be assumed that the type is integral
and unsigned.
With this commit, all MD definitions start off as u_int. This allows
us to phase-in cpumask_t at our leasure without breaking anything.
Once cpumask_t is used consistently, platforms can switch to wider
(or smaller) types if such would be beneficial (or not; whatever :-)
