Robert Watson 1ee624b31d The socket code upcalls into the NFS server using the so_upcall
mechanism so that early processing on mbufs can be performed before
a context switch to the NFS server threads.  Because of this, if
the socket code is running without Giant, the NFS server also needs
to be able to run the upcall code without relying on the presence on
Giant.  This change modifies the NFS server to run using a "giant
code lock" covering operation of the whole subsystem.  Work is in
progress to move to data-based locking as part of the NFSv4 server
changes.

Introduce an NFS server subsystem lock, 'nfsd_mtx', and a set of
macros to operate on the lock:

  NFSD_LOCK_ASSERT()    Assert nfsd_mtx owned by current thread
  NFSD_UNLOCK_ASSERT()  Assert nfsd_mtx not owned by current thread
  NFSD_LOCK_DONTCARE()  Advisory: this function doesn't care
  NFSD_LOCK()           Lock nfsd_mtx
  NFSD_UNLOCK()         Unlock nfsd_mtx

Constify a number of global variables/structures in the NFS server
code, as they are not modified and contain constants only:

  nfsrvv2_procid       nfsrv_nfsv3_procid      nonidempotent
  nfsv2_repstat        nfsv2_type              nfsrv_nfsv3_procid
  nfsrvv2_procid       nfsrv_v2errmap          nfsv3err_null
  nfsv3err_getattr     nfsv3err_setattr        nfsv3err_lookup
  nfsv3err_access      nfsv3err_readlink       nfsv3err_read
  nfsv3err_write       nfsv3err_create         nfsv3err_mkdir
  nfsv3err_symlink     nfsv3err_mknod          nfsv3err_remove
  nfsv3err_rmdir       nfsv3err_rename         nfsv3err_link
  nfsv3err_readdir     nfsv3err_readdirplus    nfsv3err_fsstat
  nfsv3err_fsinfo      nfsv3err_pathconf       nfsv3err_commit
  nfsrv_v3errmap

There are additional structures that should be constified but due
to their being passed into general purpose functions without const
arguments, I have not yet converted.

In general, acquire nfsd_mtx when accessing any of the global NFS
structures, including struct nfssvc_sock, struct nfsd, struct
nfsrv_descript.

Release nfsd_mtx whenever calling into VFS, and acquire Giant for
calls into VFS.  Giant is not required for any part of the
operation of the NFS server with the exception of calls into VFS.
Giant will never by acquired in the upcall code path.  However, it
may operate entirely covered by Giant, or not.  If debug.mpsafenet
is set to 0, the system calls will acquire Giant across all
operations, and the upcall will assert Giant.  As such, by default,
this enables locking and allows us to test assertions, but should not
cause any substantial new amount of code to be run without Giant.
Bugs should manifest in the form of lock assertion failures for now.

This approach is similar (but not identical) to modifications to the
BSD/OS NFS server code snapshot provided by BSDi as part of their
SMPng snapshot.  The strategy is almost the same (single lock over
the NFS server), but differs in the following ways:

- Our NFS client and server code bases don't overlap, which means
  both fewer bugs and easier locking (thanks Peter!).  Also means
  NFSD_*() as opposed to NFS_*().

- We make broad use of assertions, whereas the BSD/OS code does not.

- Made slightly different choices about how to handle macros building
  packets but operating with side effects.

- We acquire Giant only when entering VFS from the NFS server daemon
  threads.

- Serious bugs in BSD/OS implementation corrected -- the snapshot we
  received was clearly a work in progress.

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.
