From 86a2f287c5e189513319ed0776381cb345219b27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Bruce A. Mah" Date: Sat, 6 Jul 2002 19:42:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] New release note: kbdmap(1)/vidfont(1) C rewrite. Changed release notes: KSE (rewrite and status update), Binutils 2.12.1 (20020622 snapshot). MFCs noted: libpcap-0.7.1, tcpdump-3.7.1, OpenSSH through 3.4p1. Also retroactively note some OpenSSH items as MFC-ed and historic. I'm not sure when these were merged, but I'm pretty sure it was a long time ago. --- .../doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml | 42 ++++++++++++------- .../en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/common/new.sgml | 42 ++++++++++++------- 2 files changed, 56 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) diff --git a/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml b/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml index c8e19ccaec03..781881f66a99 100644 --- a/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml +++ b/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/article.sgml @@ -413,9 +413,20 @@ processes) no longer lock up the machine for long periods of time. &merged; - The Kernel-Scheduled Entity project has made changes to the - kernel scheduler to more efficiently handle multi-threaded - programs. + The &os; kernel scheduler now supports Kernel-Scheduled + Entities (KSEs), which provides support for multiple threads of + execution per process similar to Schedular Activations.
