- ddb -> db for low-level trapcode
- implement makectx. I think it only matters that the stack is setup
correctly.
- bring over ddb_trap_glue and rename to db_trap_glue
so setfault would return correctly when a page fault was invalid
(e.g. a syscall with a bad parameter).
This caused an endless DSI loop, seen when running sendmail which
does a setlogin() call with a NULL pointer.
- introduce KTR_SYSC tracing. expose the syscallnames[] array to
make the tracing more readable.
(but keep it conditional on __ISO_C_VISIBLE >= 1999.
Why? Our out /usr/src/contrib assumes it, and more than a few ports have
an autoconf that looks for __va_copy because it is available on glibc.
It is critical that we use it on PowerPC. It generally isn't a problem
for i386 and its ilk because those platforms can get away with cheating
the C standard, using a plain assignment.
than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel:
- Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to
determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be
preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new
thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns
false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread
should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical
section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added
to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the
thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly.
When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set,
then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption.
- Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling
setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the
do_switch argument from ithread_schedule().
- Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture
supports native preemption.
- Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a
chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since
the ithreads will just preempt DELAY().
- Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for
architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary.
- Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread
preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.
This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed
except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will
avoid the run queues completely when preempting.
Approved by: scottl (with his re@ hat)
to <sys/gmon.h>. Cleaned them up a little by not attempting to ifdef
for incomplete and out of date support for GUPROF in userland, as in
the sparc64 version.
elf_reloc() backends for two reasons. First, to support the possibility
of there being two elf linkers in the kernel (eg: amd64), and second, to
pass the relocbase explicitly (for relocating .o format kld files).
not ~1, but the call has been switched over to bus_alloc_resource_any()
which has the same effect.
