the witness lock while another CPU is doing the printf while holding the

passing a pointer to an opaque clockframe structure and requiring the
MD code to supply CLKF_FOO() macros to extract needed values out of the
opaque structure, just pass the needed values directly. In practice this
means passing the pair (usermode, pc) to hardclock() and profclock() and
passing the boolean (usermode) to hardclock_cpu() and hardclock_process().
Other details:
- Axe clockframe and CLKF_FOO() macros on all architectures. Basically,
all the archs were taking a trapframe and converting it into a clockframe
one way or another. Now they can just extract the PC and usermode values
directly out of the trapframe and pass it to fooclock().
- Renamed hardclock_process() to hardclock_cpu() as the latter is more
accurate.
- On Alpha, we now run profclock() at hz (profhz == hz) rather than at
the slower stathz.
- On Alpha, for the TurboLaser machines that don't have an 8254
timecounter, call hardclock() directly. This removes an extra
conditional check from every clock interrupt on Alpha on the BSP.
There is probably room for even further pruning here by changing Alpha
to use the simplified timecounter we use on x86 with the lapic timer
since we don't get interrupts from the 8254 on Alpha anyway.
- On x86, clkintr() shouldn't ever be called now unless using_lapic_timer
is false, so add a KASSERT() to that affect and remove a condition
to slightly optimize the non-lapic case.
- Change prototypeof arm_handler_execute() so that it's first arg is a

Add experimental low-precision clockid_t names corresponding to these

NOTE: With different underlying time mechanisms exposed, using
different time query mechanisms in the same application may result in
relative non-monoticity or the appearance of clock stalling for a

When all file systems have a time stamp of zero, which is the case
for example when the root file system is on a read-only medium, we
ended up not calling inittodr() at all. A potential uncleanliness
existed as well. If multiple file systems had a non-zero time stamp,
we would call inittodr() multiple times. While this should not be
harmful, it's definitely not ideal.
Fix both issues by iterating over the mounted file systems to find
the largest time stamp and call inittodr() exactly once with that
time stamp. This could of course be a zero time stamp if none of the
mounted file systems have a non-zero time stamp. In that case the
annoying errors mentioned in the commit log for revision 1.186 still
haven't been avoided. The bottom line is that inittodr() should not

reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to
slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records.
Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records
become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record
commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations.
These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace
records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain
the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations
where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the
scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to
globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their
own context as required.
- Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they
are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records
are still used.
- Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously
generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the
global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to.
- When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the
process.
- When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending
per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can.
Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global
ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the
future.
- When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap,
signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records.
- When a process exits, flush any pending records.
- Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records.
- Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to
prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating
traces for ktrace events.
Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for
synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue
depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on. I.e., performing a
drain every (n) records.

socket file descriptor garbage collection code, which is intended to
detect and clear cycles of orphaned file descriptors that are "in-flight"
in a socket when that socket is closed before they are received. The
algorithm present was both run at poor times (resulting in recursion and
reentrance), and also buggy in the presence of parallelism. In order to
fix these problems, make the following changes:
- When there are in-flight sockets and a UNIX domain socket is destroyed,
asynchronously schedule the garbage collector, rather than running it
synchronously in the current context. This avoids lock order issues
when the garbage collection code reenters the UNIX domain socket code,
avoiding lock order reversals, deadlocks, etc. Run the code
asynchronously in a task queue.
- In the garbage collector, when skipping file descriptors that have
entered a closing state (i.e., have f_count == 0), re-test the FDEFER
flag, and decrement unp_defer. As file descriptors can now transition
to a closed state, while the garbage collector is running, it is no
longer the case that unp_defer will remain an accurate count of
deferred sockets in the mark portion of the GC algorithm. Otherwise,
the garbage collector will loop waiting waiting for unp_defer to reach
zero, which it will never do as it is skipping file descriptors that
were marked in an earlier pass, but now closed.
- Acquire the UNIX domain socket subsystem lock in unp_discard() when
modifying the unp_rights counter, or a read/write race is risked with
other threads also manipulating the counter.
While here:
- Remove #if 0'd code regarding acquiring the socket buffer sleep lock in
the garbage collector, this is not required as we are able to use the
socket buffer receive lock to protect scanning the receive buffer for
in-flight file descriptors on the socket buffer.
- Annotate that the description of the garbage collector implementation
is increasingly inaccurate and needs to be updated.
- Add counters of the number of deferred garbage collections and recycled
file descriptors. This will be removed and is here temporarily for
debugging purposes.

ktrace record format that can be used to hold the threadid,
although older ktrace files will have a garbage ktr_buffer field
(or more accurately, a kernel pointer value).

before dereferencing it. Certain corrupt kernel modules might not have
a valid hash table, and would cause a kernel panic when they were loaded.
Instead of panic'ing, the kernel now prints out a warning that it is
missing the symbol hash table.

- Prefer '_' to ' ', as it results in more easily parsed results in
memory monitoring tools such as vmstat.
- Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names
as file names, such as '/' characters.
- Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some
memory types.
- Generally prefer lower case to upper case.
- If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories,
attempt to use the same name in additional cases.
Not all instances were caught in this change, so more work is required to
finish this conversion. Similar changes are required for UMA zone names.
following the protocol pru_listen() call to solisten_proto(), so
that it occurs under the socket lock acquisition that also sets
SO_ACCEPTCONN. This requires passing the new backlog parameter
to the protocol, which also allows the protocol to be aware of
changes in queue limit should it wish to do something about the
new queue limit. This continues a move towards the socket layer
acting as a library for the protocol.
Bump __FreeBSD_version due to a change in the in-kernel protocol
interface. This change has been tested with IPv4 and UNIX domain
sockets, but not other protocols.
convert to or from timeval frequently.
Introduce function itimer_accept() to ack a timer signal in signal
acceptance code, this allows us to return more fresh overrun counter
than at signal generating time. while POSIX says:
"the value returned by timer_getoverrun() shall apply to the most
recent expiration signal delivery or acceptance for the timer,.."
I prefer returning it at acceptance time.
Introduce SIGEV_THREAD_ID notification mode, it is used by thread
libary to request kernel to deliver signal to a specified thread,
and in turn, the thread library may use the mechanism to implement
SIGEV_THREAD which is required by POSIX.
Timer signal is managed by timer code, so it can not fail even if
signal queue is full filled by sigqueue syscall.

which should then disable it in the kernel.

can't acquire an sx lock in ttyinfo() because ttyinfo() can be called
from interrupt handlers (such as atkbd_intr()). Instead, go back to
locking the process group while we pick a thread to display information for
and hold that lock until after we drop sched_lock to make sure the
process doesn't exit out from under us. sched_lock ensures that the
specific thread from that process doesn't go away. To protect against
the process exiting after we drop the proc lock but before we dereference
it to lookup the pid and p_comm in the call to ttyprintf(), we now copy
the pid and p_comm to local variables while holding the proc lock.
This problem was found by the recently added TD_NO_SLEEPING assertions for
interrupt handlers.

debug.kdb.panic and debug.kdb.trap alongside the existing debug.kdb.enter
sysctl. 'panic' causes a panic, and 'trap' causes a page fault. We used
these to ensure that crash dumps succeed from those two common failure
modes. This avoids the need for creating a 'panic' kld module.
