intention of the POSIX IEEE Std 1003.1TM-2008/Cor 1-2013. A robust mutex is guaranteed to be cleared by the system upon either thread or process owner termination while the mutex is held. The next mutex locker is then notified about inconsistent mutex state and can execute (or abandon) corrective actions. The patch mostly consists of small changes here and there, adding neccessary checks for the inconsistent and abandoned conditions into existing paths. Additionally, the thread exit handler was extended to iterate over the userspace-maintained list of owned robust mutexes, unlocking and marking as terminated each of them. The list of owned robust mutexes cannot be maintained atomically synchronous with the mutex lock state (it is possible in kernel, but is too expensive). Instead, for the duration of lock or unlock operation, the current mutex is remembered in a special slot that is also checked by the kernel at thread termination. Kernel must be aware about the per-thread location of the heads of robust mutex lists and the current active mutex slot. When a thread touches a robust mutex for the first time, a new umtx op syscall is issued which informs about location of lists heads. The umtx sleep queues for PP and PI mutexes are split between non-robust and robust. Somewhat unrelated changes in the patch: 1. Style. 2. The fix for proper tdfind() call use in umtxq_sleep_pi() for shared pi mutexes. 3. Removal of the userspace struct pthread_mutex m_owner field. 4. The sysctl kern.ipc.umtx_vnode_persistent is added, which controls the lifetime of the shared mutex associated with a vnode' page.

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. See build(7) and 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. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. 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 kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
