to accomodate the changes. Here's a list of things that have changed (I may have left out a few); for a relatively complete list, see http://people.freebsd.org/~bmilekic/mtx_journal * Remove old (once useful) mcluster code for MCLBYTES > PAGE_SIZE which nobody uses anymore. It was great while it lasted, but now we're moving onto bigger and better things (Approved by: wollman). * Practically re-wrote the allocation macros in sys/sys/mbuf.h to accomodate new allocations which grab the necessary lock. * Make sure that necessary mbstat variables are manipulated with corresponding atomic() routines. * Changed the "wait" routines, cleaned it up, made one routine that does the job. * Generalized MWAKEUP() macro. Got rid of m_retry and m_retryhdr, as they are now included in the generalized "wait" routines. * Sleep routines now use msleep(). * Free lists have locks. * etc... probably other stuff I'm missing... Things to look out for and work on later: * find a better way to (dynamically) adjust EXT_COUNTERS * move necessity to recurse on a lock from drain routines by providing lock-free lower-level version of MFREE() (and possibly m_free()?). * checkout include of mutex.h in sys/sys/mbuf.h - probably violating general philosophy here. The code has been reviewed quite a bit, but problems may arise... please, don't panic! Send me Emails: bmilekic@freebsd.org Reviewed by: jlemon, cp, alfred, others?
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/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 have to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/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.
