freebsd kernel with SKQ
dc3a8b52c0
the thread kernel into a garbage collector thread which is started when the fisrt thread is created (other than the initial thread). This removes the window of opportunity where a context switch will cause a thread that has locked the malloc spinlock, to enter the thread kernel, find there is a dead thread and try to free memory, therefore trying to lock the malloc spinlock against itself. The garbage collector thread acts just like any other thread, so instead of having a spinlock to control accesses to the dead thread list, it uses a mutex and a condition variable so that it can happily wait to be signalled when a thread exists. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.12 1998/06/30 08:08:05 jkh Exp $ 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 and the contents of /etc. 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 with config(8) 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. 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 LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
