# 198860 03-Nov-2009 ed

Make /dev/klog and kern.msgbuf* MPSAFE.

Normally msgbufp is locked using Giant. Switch it to use the
msgbuf_lock. Instead of changing the tsleep() calls to msleep(), just
convert it to condvar(9).

In my opinion the locking around msgbuf_peekbytes() still remains
questionable. It looks like locks are dropped while performing copies of
multiple blocks to userspace, which may cause the msgbuf to be reset in
the mean time. At least getting it underneath from Giant should make it
a little easier for us to figure out how to solve that.

# 122352 09-Nov-2003 tanimura

- Implement selwakeuppri() which allows raising the priority of a
thread being waken up. The thread waken up can run at a priority as
high as after tsleep().

- Replace selwakeup()s with selwakeuppri()s and pass appropriate
priorities.

- Add cv_broadcastpri() which raises the priority of the broadcast
threads. Used by selwakeuppri() if collision occurs.

# 116660 22-Jun-2003 iedowse

Replace the code for reading and writing the kernel message buffer
with a new implementation that has a mostly reentrant "addchar"
routine, supports multiple message buffers in the kernel, and hides
the implementation details from callers.

The new code uses a kind of sequence number to represend the current
read and write positions in the buffer. This approach (suggested
mainly by bde) permits the read and write pointers to be maintained
separately, which reduces the number of atomic operations that are
required. The "mostly reentrant" above refers to the way that while
it is now always safe to have any number of concurrent writers,
readers could see the message buffer after a writer has advanced
the pointers but before it has witten the new character.

# 106917 14-Nov-2002 tmm

Make the msg_size, msg_bufx and msg_bufr memebers of struct msgbuf
signed, since they describe a ring buffer and signed arithmetic is
performed on them. This avoids some evilish casts.

Since this changes all but two members of this structure, style(9)
those remaining ones, too.

# 105590 20-Oct-2002 tmm

Fix the calculations of the length of the unread message buffer
contents. The code was subtracting two unsigned ints, stored the
result in a log and expected it to be the same as of a signed
subtraction; this does only work on platforms where int and long
have the same size (due to overflows).
Instead, cast to long before the subtraction; the numbers are
guaranteed to be small enough so that there will be no overflows
because of that.


# 104393 03-Oct-2002 truckman

In an SMP environment post-Giant it is no longer safe to blindly
dereference the struct sigio pointer without any locking. Change
fgetown() to take a reference to the pointer instead of a copy of the
pointer and call SIGIO_LOCK() before copying the pointer and
dereferencing it.

# 96122 06-May-2002 alfred

Make funsetown() take a 'struct sigio **' so that the locking can
be done internally.

Ensure that no one can fsetown() to a dying process/pgrp. We need
to check the process for P_WEXIT to see if it's exiting. Process
groups are already safe because there is no such thing as a pgrp
zombie, therefore the proctree lock completely protects the pgrp
from having sigio structures associated with it after it runs
funsetownlst.

Add sigio lock to witness list under proctree and allproc, but over
proc and pgrp.

Seigo Tanimura helped with this.


# 95883 01-May-2002 alfred

Redo the sigio locking.

Turn the sigio sx into a mutex.

Sigio lock is really only needed to protect interrupts from dereferencing
the sigio pointer in an object when the sigio itself is being destroyed.

In order to do this in the most unintrusive manner change pgsigio's
sigio * argument into a **, that way we can lock internally to the
function.

syslogd gets kernel log messages only once every 30 seconds or
at the top of the minute, whichever comes first. It seems
logtimeout() is only called once after the kernel log is opened
and then never again after that. So I guess syslogd only gets
kernel log messages by virtue of syncer(4)'s flushes ...?

# 70239 20-Dec-2000 phk

Replace logwakeup() with "int msgbuftrigger". There is little
point in calling a function just to set a flag.

Keep better track of the syslog FAC/PRI code and try to DTRT if
they mingle.

Log all writes to /dev/console to syslog with <console.info>
priority. The formatting is not preserved, there is no robust,
way of doing it. (Ideas with patches welcome).


# 70069 15-Dec-2000 jhb

Delay waking up processes select'ing on the log device directly from
the kernel console. Instead, change logwakeup() to set a flag in the
softc. A callout then wakes up every so often and wakes up any processes
selecting on /dev/log (such as syslogd) if the flag is set. By default
this callout fires 5 times a second, but that can be adjusted by the
sysctl kern.log_wakeups_per_second.

Convert DEVFS hooks in (most) drivers to make_dev().

Diskslice/label code not yet handled.

Vinum, i4b, alpha, pc98 not dealt with (left to respective Maintainers)

Add the correct hook for devfs to kern_conf.c

The net result of this excercise is that a lot less files depends on DEVFS,
and devtoname() gets more sensible output in many cases.

A few drivers had minor additional cleanups performed relating to cdevsw
registration.

A few drivers don't register a cdevsw{} anymore, but only use make_dev().


# 47640 31-May-1999 phk

Simplify cdevsw registration.

The cdevsw_add() function now finds the major number(s) in the
struct cdevsw passed to it. cdevsw_add_generic() is no longer
needed, cdevsw_add() does the same thing.

cdevsw_add() will print an message if the d_maj field looks bogus.

Remove nblkdev and nchrdev variables. Most places they were used
bogusly. Instead check a dev_t for validity by seeing if devsw()
or bdevsw() returns NULL.

Move bdevsw() and devsw() functions to kern/kern_conf.c

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 400006

This commit removes:
72 bogus makedev() calls
26 bogus SYSINIT functions

if_xe.c bogusly accessed cdevsw[], author/maintainer please fix.

I4b and vinum not changed. Patches emailed to authors. LINT
probably broken until they catch up.


# 47625 30-May-1999 phk

This commit should be a extensive NO-OP:

Reformat and initialize correctly all "struct cdevsw".

Initialize the d_maj and d_bmaj fields.

The d_reset field was not removed, although it is never used.

I used a program to do most of this, so all the files now use the
same consistent format. Please keep it that way.

Vinum and i4b not modified, patches emailed to respective authors.

Installed the second patch attached to kern/7899 with some changes suggested
by bde, a few other tweaks to get the patch to apply cleanly again and
some improvements to the comments.

This change closes some fairly minor security holes associated with
F_SETOWN, fixes a few bugs, and removes some limitations that F_SETOWN
had on tty devices. For more details, see the description on the PR.

Because this patch increases the size of the proc and pgrp structures,
it is necessary to re-install the includes and recompile libkvm,
the vinum lkm, fstat, gcore, gdb, ipfilter, ps, top, and w.

Some cleanups related to timecounters and weird ifdefs in <sys/time.h>.

Clean up (or if antipodic: down) some of the msgbuf stuff.

Use an inline function rather than a macro for timecounter delta.

Maintain process "on-cpu" time as 64 bits of microseconds to avoid
needless second rollover overhead.

Avoid calling microuptime the second time in mi_switch() if we do
not pass through _idle in cpu_switch()

This should reduce our context-switch overhead a bit, in particular
on pre-P5 and SMP systems.

# 12675 08-Dec-1995 julian

Pass 3 of the great devsw changes
most devsw referenced functions are now static, as they are
in the same file as their devsw structure. I've also added DEVFS
support for nearly every device in the system, however
many of the devices have 'incorrect' names under DEVFS
because I couldn't quickly work out the correct naming conventions.
(but devfs won't be coming on line for a month or so anyhow so that doesn't
matter)

If you "OWN" a device which would normally have an entry in /dev
then search for the devfs_add_devsw() entries and munge to make them right..
check out similar devices to see what I might have done in them in you
can't see what's going on..
for a laugh compare conf.c conf.h defore and after... :)
I have not doen DEVFS entries for any DISKSLICE devices yet as that will be
a much more complicated job.. (pass 5 :)

pass 4 will be to make the devsw tables of type (cdevsw * )
rather than (cdevsw)
seems to work here..
complaints to the usual places.. :)

# 12517 29-Nov-1995 julian

OK, that's it..
That's EVERY SINGLE driver that has an entry in conf.c..
my next trick will be to define cdevsw[] and bdevsw[]
as empty arrays and remove all those DAMNED defines as well..

Each of these drivers has a SYSINIT linker set entry
that comes in very early.. and asks teh driver to add it's own
entry to the two devsw[] tables.

some slight reworking of the commits from yesterday (added the SYSINIT
stuff and some usually wrong but token DEVFS entries to all these
devices.

BTW does anyone know where the 'ata' entries in conf.c actually reside?
seems we don't actually have a 'ataopen() etc...

If you want to add a new device in conf.c
please make sure I know
so I can keep it up to date too..

as before, this is all dependent on #if defined(JREMOD)
(and #ifdef DEVFS in parts)
