freebsd kernel with SKQ
033e1e35d3
This is intended to fix the bug where cpu mask objects are capped to 32. MAXCPU, then, can now arbitrarely bumped to whatever value. Anyway, as long as several structures in the kernel are statically allocated and sized as MAXCPU, it is suggested to keep it as low as possible for the time being. Technical notes on this commit itself: - More functions to handle with cpuset_t objects are introduced. The most notable are cpusetobj_ffs() (which calculates a ffs(3) for a cpuset_t object), cpusetobj_strprint() (which prepares a string representing a cpuset_t object) and cpusetobj_strscan() (which creates a valid cpuset_t starting from a string representation). - pc_cpumask and pc_other_cpus are target to be removed soon. With the moving from cpumask_t to cpuset_t they are now inefficient and not really useful. Anyway, for the time being, please note that access to pcpu datas is protected by sched_pin() in order to avoid migrating the CPU while reading more than one (possible) word - Please note that size of cpuset_t objects may differ between kernel and userland. While this is not directly related to the patch itself, it is good to understand that concept and possibly use the patch as a reference on how to deal with cpuset_t objects in userland, when accessing kernland members. - KTR_CPUMASK is changed and now is represented through a string, to be set as the example reported in NOTES. Please additively note that no MAXCPU is bumped in this patch, but private testing has been done until to MAXCPU=128 on a real 8x8x2(htt) machine (amd64). Please note that the FreeBSD version is not yet bumped because of the upcoming pcpu changes. However, note that this patch is not targeted for MFC. People to thank for the time spent on this patch: - sbruno, pluknet and Nicholas Esborn (nick AT desert DOT net) tested several revision of the patches and really helped in improving stability of this work. - marius fixed several bugs in the sparc64 implementation and reviewed patches related to ktr. - jeff and jhb discussed the basic approach followed. - kib and marcel made targeted review on some specific part of the patch. - marius, art, nwhitehorn and andreast reviewed MD specific part of the patch. - marius, andreast, gonzo, nwhitehorn and jceel tested MD specific implementations of the patch. - Other people have made contributions on other patches that have been already committed and have been listed separately. Companies that should be mentioned for having participated at several degrees: - Yahoo! for having offered the machines used for testing on big count of CPUs. - The FreeBSD Foundation for having sponsored my devsummit attendance, which has been instrumental. - Sandvine for having offered offices and infrastructure during development. (I really hope I didn't forget anyone, if it happened I apologize in advance). |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
