tdsigwakeup() increases the priority of the low-priority threads, to give them a chance to be terminated timely. Also, kernel allows user to signal kernel processes. The combined effect is that signalling idle process bump a priority of the selected delivery thread, which starts eating CPU. Check for the delivery thread be an idle thread and do not raise its priority then. The signal delivery to the kernel threads must be opt-in feature. Kernel thread should explicitely declare the ability to handle signals directed to it. E.g., nfsd threads check for signal as an indication of exit request. Most threads do not handle signals at all, and queuing the signal to them causes odd side-effects. Most innocent consequence is the memory leak due to queued ksiginfo, which is never deleted from the sigqueue. Code to prevent even queuing signals to the kernel threads is trivial, but it requires careful examination of each call to kproc/kthread creation to decide should the signalling be allowed. The commit is a stop-gap measure which fixes the immediate case for now. PR: 200493 Reported and tested by: trasz Discussed with: trasz, emaste Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation MFC after: 1 week
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. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
