- Close a migration race where callout_reset() failed to set the CALLOUT_ACTIVE flag. - Callout callback functions are now allowed to be protected by spinlocks. - Switching the callout CPU number cannot always be done on a per-callout basis. See the updated timeout(9) manual page for more information. - The timeout(9) manual page has been updated to reflect how all the functions inside the callout API are working. The manual page has been made function oriented to make it easier to deduce how each of the functions making up the callout API are working without having to first read the whole manual page. Group all functions into a handful of sections which should give a quick top-level overview when the different functions should be used. - The CALLOUT_SHAREDLOCK flag and its functionality has been removed to reduce the complexity in the callout code and to avoid problems about atomically stopping callouts via callout_stop(). If someone needs it, it can be re-added. From my quick grep there are no CALLOUT_SHAREDLOCK clients in the kernel. - A new callout API function named "callout_drain_async()" has been added. See the updated timeout(9) manual page for a complete description. - Update the callout clients in the "kern/" folder to use the callout API properly, like cv_timedwait(). Previously there was some custom sleepqueue code in the callout subsystem, which has been removed, because we now allow callouts to be protected by spinlocks. This allows us to tear down the callout like done with regular mutexes, and a "td_slpmutex" has been added to "struct thread" to atomically teardown the "td_slpcallout". Further the "TDF_TIMOFAIL" and "SWT_SLEEPQTIMO" states can now be completely removed. Currently they are marked as available and will be cleaned up in a follow up commit. - Bump the __FreeBSD_version to indicate kernel modules need recompilation. - There has been several reports that this patch "seems to squash a serious bug leading to a callout timeout and panic".

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 ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. 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.
