freebsd kernel with SKQ
Go to file
Kris Kennaway 2017a7cdfe Add a new "non-portable" mutex type, PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP. This
is also implemented in glibc and is used by a number of existing
applications (mysql, firefox, etc).

This mutex type is a default mutex with the additional property that
it spins briefly when attempting to acquire a contested lock, doing
trylock operations in userland before entering the kernel to block if
eventually unsuccessful.

The expectation is that applications requesting this mutex type know
that the mutex is likely to be only held for very brief periods, so it
is faster to spin in userland and probably succeed in acquiring the
mutex, than to enter the kernel and sleep, only to be woken up almost
immediately.  This can help significantly in certain cases when
pthread mutexes are heavily contended and held for brief durations
(such as mysql).

Spin up to 200 times before entering the kernel, which represents only
a few us on modern CPUs.  No performance degradation was observed with
this value and it is sufficient to avoid a large performance drop in
mysql performance in the heavily contended pthread mutex case.

The libkse implementation is a NOP.

UPDATING Add ABI backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of 2007-10-24 20:51:44 +00:00

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.
