the process of exiting the kernel. The ast() function now loops as long as the PS_ASTPENDING or PS_NEEDRESCHED flags are set. It returns with preemption disabled so that any further AST's that arrive via an interrupt will be delayed until the low-level MD code returns to user mode. - Use u_int's to store the tick counts for profiling purposes so that we do not need sched_lock just to read p_sticks. This also closes a problem where the call to addupc_task() could screw up the arithmetic due to non-atomic reads of p_sticks. - Axe need_proftick(), aston(), astoff(), astpending(), need_resched(), clear_resched(), and resched_wanted() in favor of direct bit operations on p_sflag. - Fix up locking with sched_lock some. In addupc_intr(), use sched_lock to ensure pr_addr and pr_ticks are updated atomically with setting PS_OWEUPC. In ast() we clear pr_ticks atomically with clearing PS_OWEUPC. We also do not grab the lock just to test a flag. - Simplify the handling of Giant in ast() slightly. Reviewed by: bde (mostly) |
