we were passing in a void* representing the PCB of the parent thread. Now we pass a pointer to the parent thread itself. The prime reason for this change is to allow cpu_set_upcall() to copy (parts of) the trapframe instead of having it done in MI code in each caller of cpu_set_upcall(). Copying the trapframe cannot always be done with a simply bcopy() or may not always be optimal that way. On ia64 specifically the trapframe contains information that is specific to an entry into the kernel and can only be used by the corresponding exit from the kernel. A trapframe copied verbatim from another frame is in most cases useless without some additional normalization. Note that this change removes the assignment to td->td_frame in some implementations of cpu_set_upcall(). The assignment is redundant. A previous call to cpu_thread_setup() already did the exact same assignment. An added benefit of removing the redundant assignment is that we can now change td_pcb without nasty side-effects. This change officially marks the ability on ia64 for 1:1 threading. Not tested on: amd64, powerpc Compile & boot tested on: alpha, sparc64 Functionally tested on: i386, ia64
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 ``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.
