The global lock is a memory region shared with the BIOS and thus
has some strange behavior like the fact that the sleep is 1 ms max.
We use standard mutexes to synchronize with the SCI so acquiring
the global lock after locking the mutex resulted in a witness
warning.
To deal with this for now, acquire the global lock before all other
locks, similar to Giant. This should fix the witness "sleeping
with mutex held" issue on boot that occurred after the last ACPI-CA
import. In the future, we hope to move to the new mutex interface
in ACPI-CA instead of the pseudo-semaphore version we have now.

- Missing lock/unlock of inp added as well in the v6 side.
- IFN hash table moves to sctppcbinfo since indexes are
unique across systems (including different VRFs) this makes it easier
to do ifn lookups.
- /lib/libpthread.so.2 was made obsolete by renaming libpthread to
libkse (!sparc64, 2007/05/13).
- /usr/lib/libthr.so.2 was made obsolete by moving the library to
/lib (!sparc64, 2007/05/13).
- /lib/libkse.so.2 existed for a few days before the version bump
for those who had libpthread as their default threading library.
Coding this "right" in ObsoleteFiles.inc is nearly impossible, so
just add the missing obsolete libraries to the version bump block.

td_ru. This removes the requirement for per-process synchronization in
statclock() and mi_switch(). This was previously supported by
sched_lock which is going away. All modifications to rusage are now
done in the context of the owning thread. reads proceed without locks.
- Aggregate exiting threads rusage in thread_exit() such that the exiting
thread's rusage is not lost.
- Provide a new routine, rufetch() to fetch an aggregate of all rusage
structures from all threads in a process. This routine must be used
in any place requiring a rusage from a process prior to it's exit. The
exited process's rusage is still available via p_ru.
- Aggregate tick statistics only on demand via rufetch() or when a thread
exits. Tick statistics are kept in the thread and protected by sched_lock
until it exits.

this change both simplifies the code and plugs a hole where the devise
was reset without keeping the management controller at bay :) Second,
the 82571 LAA reset problem was incomplete, this addition is necessary.
Just one of those days :)
Probabilly, a general approach is not the better solution here, so we should
solve the sched_lock protection problems separately.

handler is wrapped in a couple of functions - a filter wrapper and an
ithread wrapper. In this case (and just in this case), the filter
wrapper could ask the system to schedule the ithread and mask the
interrupt source if the wrapped handler is composed of just an ithread
handler: modify the "old" interrupt code to make it support
this situation, while the "new" interrupt code is already ok.

- Rework the entire pcm_channel structure:
* Remove rarely used link placeholder, instead, make each pcm_channel
as head/link of each own/each other. Unlock - Lock sequence due to
sleep malloc has been reduced.
* Implement "busy" queue which will contain list of busy/active
channels. This greatly reduce locking contention for example while
servicing interrupt for hardware with many channels or when virtual
channels reach its 256 peak channels.
- So I heard you like v chan ... O RLY?
Welcome to Virtual **Record** Channels (vrec, rec vchans, vchans for
recording, Rec-Chan, you decide), the ultimate solutions for your
nagging O_RDWR full-duplex wannabe (note: flash plugins) monopolizing
single record channel causing EBUSY. Vrec works exactly like Vchans
(or, should I rename it to "Vplay" :) , except that it operates on the
opposite direction (recording). Up to 256 vrecs (like vchans) are
possible.
Notes:
* Relocate dev.pcm.%d.{vchans,vchanformat,vchanrate} to each of its
respective node/direction:
dev.pcm.%d.play.* for "play" (cdev = dsp%d.vp%d)
dev.pcm.%d.rec.* for "record" (cdev = dsp%d.vr%d)
* Don't expect that it will magically give you ability to split
"recording source" (eg: 1 channel for cdrom, 1 channel for mic,
etc). Just admit that you only have a *single* recording source /
channel. Please bug your hardware vendor instead :)
- Bump maxautovchans from 4 to 16. For a full-fledged multimedia
desktop/workstation with too many soundservers installed (esound,
artsd, jackd, pulse/polypaudio, ding-dong pling plong mudkip fuh fuh,
etc), 4 seems inadequate. There will be no memory penalty here, since
virtual channels are allocate only by demand.
- Nuke/Rework the entire statically created cdev entries. Everything is
clonable through snd own clone manager which designed to withstand many
kind of abusive devfs droids such as:
* while : ; do /bin/test -e /dev/dsp ; done
* jot 16777216 0 | while read x ; do ls /dev/dsp0.$x ; done
* hundreds (could be thousands) concurrent threads/process opening
"/dev/dsp" (previously, this might result EBUSY even with just
3 contesting threads/procs).
o Reusable clone objects (instead of creating new one like there's no
tomorrow) after certain expiration deadline. The clone allocator will
decide whether to reuse, share, or creating new clone.
o Automatic garbage collector.
- Dynamic unit magic allocator. Maximum attached soundcards can be tuned
using tunable "hw.snd.maxunit" (Default to 512). Minimum is 16, and
maximum is 2048.
- ..other fixes, mostly related to concurrency issues.
joel@ will do the manpage updates on sound(4).
Have fun.
