allocated in a fork(2)-inheritable way at the beginning or end of an
accept(2) system call. This test creates a test thread and blocks it
in accept(2), then forks a child process which tests to see if the
next available file descriptor is defined or not (EBADF vs EINVAL for
ftruncate(2)).
This detects a regression introduced during the network stack locking
work, in which a very narrow race during which fork(2) from one
thread during accept(2) in a second thread lead to an extra inherited
file descriptor turned into a very wide race ensuring that a
descriptor was leaked into the child even though it hadn't been
returned.

- Print human readable time as a float with two digits of precision. Use
ns now as well since clock periods are well into the hundreds of
picoseconds now.
- Show the average duration in the stats frame. This is often more useful
than total duration.
about invalid timestamps. Nehalem CPUs seem to be synchronized but only
within a fraction of a microsecond.
- Make the Counter code more flexible to poor timestamps. In general we
now complain a lot but render as much as we can.
- Change the scaler behavior so it works better with very long and very
short traces. We now set the maximum scale such that it properly
displays the entire file by default and doesn't permit zooming out
beyond the file. This improves other awkward navigation behavior.
The interval is now set very small which can't be achieved by simply
dragging the mouse. Clicking to the left of or right of the scaler bar
will produce increments of a single, very small, interval now.

printing it to the terminal. Now only parse errors go to the terminal.
- Speedup drawing by raising and lowering tags only once everything has
been drawn. Surprisingly, it now takes a little longer to parse than
it does to draw.
- Parameterize the layout with X_ and Y_ defines that determine the sizes
of various things.
- Remove unnecessary tags.
optimized single pass function for each. This reduces the number of
tkinter calls required to the minimum.
- Add a right-click context menu for sources. Supported commands hide
the source, hide the whole group the source is in, and bring up a stat
window.
- Add a source stat frame that gives an event frequency table as well as
the total duration for each event type that has a duration. This can
be used to see, for example, the total time a thread spent running or
blocked by a wchan or lock.
quoth the README:
I have been running -current on my laptop since before FreeBSD 2.0 was
released and along the way developed this little trick to making the
task easier.
sysbuild.sh is a way to build a new FreeBSD system on a computer from
a specification, while leaving the current installation intact.
sysbuild.sh assume you have two partitions that can hold your rootfs
and can be booted, and roughly speaking, all it does is build a new
system into the one you don't use, from the one you do use.
A partition named /freebsd is assumed to be part of your layout, and
that is where the sources and ports will be found.
If you know how nanobsd works, you will find a lot of similarity.
displaying sources.
- Add functions to the main SchedGraph to facilitate source hiding. The
source is simply moved off screen and all other sources are moved to
compensate.
This no longer requires any custom classes or parsers to support new
event types.
- Add an optional command line argument for specifying the clock frequency
in ghz. This is useful for traces that do not include KTR_SCHED.

- Add support for sorting rows by clicking and dragging them to their new
position.
- Add support for configuring the cpu background colors.
- Improve the scaling so a better center is maintained as you zoom. This
is not perfect due to precision loss with floats used in the window
views.
- Add new colors and a random assignment for unknown event types. A table
is used for known event types. This is the only event specific
information.
The jot(1) regression tests directory contained two tests named `wx' and
`wX', which doesn't work on case insensitive filesystems. Rename `wX' to
`wX1'.

- Callwheels traced via KTR_CALLOUT. Each CPU is assigned a callwheel
source. The events on this source are the execution of individual callout
routines. Each routine shows up as a green rectangle while it is executed
and the event details include the function pointer and argument.
- Locks traced via KTR_LOCK. Currently, each lock name is assigned an event
source (since the existing KTR_LOCK traces only include lock names and
not pointers). This does mean that if multiple locks of the same name are
manipulated, the source line for that name may be confusing. However, for
many cases this can be useful. Locks are blue when they are held and
purple when contested. The contention support is a bit weak due to
limitations in the rw_rlock() and mtx_lock_spin() logging messages
currently. I also have not added support for contention on lockmgr,
sx, or rmlocks yet. What is there now can be profitably used to examine
activity on Giant however.
- Expand the width of the event source names column a bit to allow for some
of the longer names of these new source types.
(threads, CPU load counters, etc.). Each source is tagged with a group
and an order similar to the SYSINIT SI_SUB_* and SI_ORDER_*. After
the file is parsed, all the sources are then sorted. Currently, the only
affects of this are that the CPU loads are now sorted by CPU ID (so
CPU 0 is always first). However, this makes it easier to add new types
of event sources in the future and have them all clustered together
instead of intertwined with threads.
- Python lists perform insertions at the tail much faster than insertions
at the head. For a trace that had a lot of events for a single event
source, the constant insertions of new events to the head of the
per-source event list caused a noticable slow down. To compensate,
append new events to the end of the list during parsing and then
reverse the list prior to drawing.
- Somewhere in the tkinter internals the coordinates of a canvas are
stored in a signed 32-bit integer. As a result, if an the box for
an event spans 2^31, it would actually end up having a negative
X offset at one end. The result was a single box that covered the
entire event source. Kris worked around this for some traces by
bumping up the initial ticks/pixel ratio from 1 to 10. However, a
divisor of 10 can still be too small for large tracefiles (e.g.
with 4 million entries). Instead of hardcoding the initial scaling
ratio, calculate it from the time span of the trace file.
- Add support for using the mouse wheel to scroll the graph window
up and down.
o add net80211 support for a tdma vap that is built on top of the
existing adhoc-demo support
o add tdma scheduling of frame transmission to the ath driver; it's
conceivable other devices might be capable of this too in which case
they can make use of the 802.11 protocol additions etc.
o add minor bits to user tools that need to know: ifconfig to setup and
configure, new statistics in athstats, and new debug mask bits
While the architecture can support >2 slots in a TDMA BSS the current
design is intended (and tested) for only 2 slots.
