syscons spinlock for the output routine alone. It is better to extend the coverage of the first syscons spinlock added in r162285. 2 locks might work with complicated juggling, but no juggling was done. What the 2 locks actually did was to cover some of the missing locking in each other and deadlock less often against each other than a single lock with larger coverage would against itself. Races are preferable to deadlocks here, but 2 locks are still worse since they are harder to understand and fix. Prefer deadlocks to races and merge the second lock into the first one. Extend the scope of the spinlocking to all of sc_cnputc() instead of just the sc_puts() part. This further prefers deadlocks to races. Extend the kdb_active hack from sc_puts() internals for the second lock to all spinlocking. This reduces deadlocks much more than the other changes increases them. The s/p,10* test in ddb gets much further now. Hide this detail in the SC_VIDEO_LOCK() macro. Add namespace pollution in 1 nested #include and reduce namespace pollution in other nested #includes to pay for this. Move the first lock higher in the witness order. The second lock was unnaturally low and the first lock was unnaturally high. The second lock had to be above "sleepq chain" and/or "callout" to avoid spurious LORs for visual bells in sc_puts(). Other console driver locks are already even higher (but not adjacent like they should be) except when they are missing from the table. Audio bells also benefit from the syscons lock being high so that audio mutexes have chance of being lower. Otherwise, console drviver locks should be as low as possible. Non-spurious LORs now occur if the bell code calls printf() or is interrupted (perhaps by an NMI) and the interrupt handler calls printf(). Previous commits turned off many bells in console i/o but missed ones done by the teken layer.
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. See build(7) and 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. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. 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 kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
