marcel 1d37410c51 Assign thread IDs to kernel threads. The purpose of the thread ID (tid)
is twofold:
1. When a 1:1 or M:N threaded process dumps core, we need to put the
   register state of each of its kernel threads in the core file.
   This can only be done by differentiating the pid field in the
   respective note. For this we need the tid.
2. When thread support is present for remote debugging the kernel
   with gdb(1), threads need to be identified by an integer due to
   limitations in the remote protocol. This requires having a tid.

To minimize the impact of having thread IDs, threads that are created
as part of a fork (i.e. the initial thread in a process) will inherit
the process ID (i.e. tid=pid). Subsequent threads will have IDs larger
than PID_MAX to avoid interference with the pid allocation algorithm.
The assignment of tids is handled by thread_new_tid().

The thread ID allocation algorithm has been written with 3 assumptions
in mind:
1. IDs need to be created as fast a possible,
2. Reuse of IDs may happen instantaneously,
3. Someone else will write a better algorithm.

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.
