Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED
make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the
process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time).
This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.
Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)

X-MFC after: ha ha ha ha
- The sx assertions don't actually need the internal sx mutex lock, so
don't bother doing so.
- Add a new assertion SX_ASSERT_LOCKED() that asserts that either a
shared or exclusive lock should be held. This assertion should be used
instead of SX_ASSERT_SLOCKED() in almost all cases.
- Adjust some KASSERT()'s to include file and line information.
- Use the new witness_assert() function in the WITNESS case for sx slock
asserts to verify that the current thread actually owns a slock.
struct lock_instance that is stored in the per-process and per-CPU lock
lists. Previously, the lock lists just kept a pointer to each lock held.
That pointer is now replaced by a lock instance which contains a pointer
to the lock object, the file and line of the last acquisition of a lock,
and various flags about a lock including its recursion count.
- If we sleep while holding a sleepable lock, then mark that lock instance
as having slept and ignore any lock order violations that occur while
acquiring Giant when we wake up with slept locks. This is ok because of
Giant's special nature.
- Allow witness to differentiate between shared and exclusive locks and
unlocks of a lock. Witness will now detect the case when a lock is
acquired first in one mode and then in another. Mutexes are always
locked and unlocked exclusively. Witness will also now detect the case
where a process attempts to unlock a shared lock while holding an
exclusive lock and vice versa.
- Fix a bug in the lock list implementation where we used the wrong
constant to detect the case where a lock list entry was full.
- Introduce lock classes and lock objects. Each lock class specifies a
name and set of flags (or properties) shared by all locks of a given
type. Currently there are three lock classes: spin mutexes, sleep
mutexes, and sx locks. A lock object specifies properties of an
additional lock along with a lock name and all of the extra stuff needed
to make witness work with a given lock. This abstract lock stuff is
defined in sys/lock.h. The lockmgr constants, types, and prototypes have
been moved to sys/lockmgr.h. For temporary backwards compatability,
sys/lock.h includes sys/lockmgr.h.
- Replace proc->p_spinlocks with a per-CPU list, PCPU(spinlocks), of spin
locks held. By making this per-cpu, we do not have to jump through
magic hoops to deal with sched_lock changing ownership during context
switches.
- Replace proc->p_heldmtx, formerly a list of held sleep mutexes, with
proc->p_sleeplocks, which is a list of held sleep locks including sleep
mutexes and sx locks.
- Add helper macros for logging lock events via the KTR_LOCK KTR logging
level so that the log messages are consistent.
- Add some new flags that can be passed to mtx_init():
- MTX_NOWITNESS - specifies that this lock should be ignored by witness.
This is used for the mutex that blocks a sx lock for example.
- MTX_QUIET - this is not new, but you can pass this to mtx_init() now
and no events will be logged for this lock, so that one doesn't have
to change all the individual mtx_lock/unlock() operations.
- All lock objects maintain an initialized flag. Use this flag to export
a mtx_initialized() macro that can be safely called from drivers. Also,
we on longer walk the all_mtx list if MUTEX_DEBUG is defined as witness
performs the corresponding checks using the initialized flag.
- The lock order reversal messages have been improved to output slightly
more accurate file and line numbers.
INVARIANTS case, define the actual KASSERT() in _SX_ASSERT_[SX]LOCKED
macros that are used in the sx code itself and convert the
SX_ASSERT_[SX]LOCKED macros to simple wrappers that grab the mutex for the
duration of the check.
- Add sx_xholder member to sx struct which is used for INVARIANTS-enabled
assertions. It indicates the thread that presently owns the xlock.
- Add some assertions to the sx lock code that will detect the fatal
API abuse:
xlock --> xlock
xlock --> slock
which now works thanks to sx_xholder.
Notice that the remaining two problematic cases:
slock --> xlock
slock --> slock (a little less problematic, but still recursion)
will need to be handled by witness eventually, as they are more
involved.
