- Each socket upcall is now invoked with the appropriate socket buffer locked. It is not permissible to call soisconnected() with this lock held; however, so socket upcalls now return an integer value. The two possible values are SU_OK and SU_ISCONNECTED. If an upcall returns SU_ISCONNECTED, then the soisconnected() will be invoked on the socket after the socket buffer lock is dropped. - A new API is provided for setting and clearing socket upcalls. The API consists of soupcall_set() and soupcall_clear(). - To simplify locking, each socket buffer now has a separate upcall. - When a socket upcall returns SU_ISCONNECTED, the upcall is cleared from the receive socket buffer automatically. Note that a SO_SND upcall should never return SU_ISCONNECTED. - All this means that accept filters should now return SU_ISCONNECTED instead of calling soisconnected() directly. They also no longer need to explicitly clear the upcall on the new socket. - The HTTP accept filter still uses soupcall_set() to manage its internal state machine, but other accept filters no longer have any explicit knowlege of socket upcall internals aside from their return value. - The various RPC client upcalls currently drop the socket buffer lock while invoking soreceive() as a temporary band-aid. The plan for the future is to add a new flag to allow soreceive() to be called with the socket buffer locked. - The AIO callback for socket I/O is now also invoked with the socket buffer locked. Previously sowakeup() would drop the socket buffer lock only to call aio_swake() which immediately re-acquired the socket buffer lock for the duration of the function call.

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.
