Copy stable/10@r272459 to releng/10.1 as part of
the 10.1-RELEASE process.

# 165898 08-Jan-2007 imp

Replace (name) with Henric Vestergaard Draboel since it was clear that
this was just cut N paste and '(name)' doesn't make any sense. If
someone knows how to contact Mr. Draboel, please let me know.


# 164936 06-Dec-2006 julian

Threading cleanup.. part 2 of several.

Make part of John Birrell's KSE patch permanent..
Specifically, remove:
Any reference of the ksegrp structure. This feature was
never fully utilised and made things overly complicated.
All code in the scheduler that tried to make threaded programs
fair to unthreaded programs. Libpthread processes will already
do this to some extent and libthr processes already disable it.

Also:
Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity
to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow.
This makes the code a lot more readable.

The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works.

The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do
ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit.

Tested by David Xu, and Dan Eischen using libthr and libpthread.


# 163709 26-Oct-2006 jb

Make KSE a kernel option, turned on by default in all GENERIC
kernel configs except sun4v (which doesn't process signals properly
with KSE).

Replace system call thr_getscheduler, thr_setscheduler, thr_setschedparam
with rtprio_thread, while rtprio system call is for process only, the new
system call rtprio_thread is responsible for LWP.

In a threaded world, differnt priorirites become properties of
different entities. Make it so.

# 72376 11-Feb-2001 jake

Implement a unified run queue and adjust priority levels accordingly.

- All processes go into the same array of queues, with different
scheduling classes using different portions of the array. This
allows user processes to have their priorities propogated up into
interrupt thread range if need be.
- I chose 64 run queues as an arbitrary number that is greater than
32. We used to have 4 separate arrays of 32 queues each, so this
may not be optimal. The new run queue code was written with this
in mind; changing the number of run queues only requires changing
constants in runq.h and adjusting the priority levels.
- The new run queue code takes the run queue as a parameter. This
is intended to be used to create per-cpu run queues. Implement
wrappers for compatibility with the old interface which pass in
the global run queue structure.
- Group the priority level, user priority, native priority (before
propogation) and the scheduling class into a struct priority.
- Change any hard coded priority levels that I found to use
symbolic constants (TTIPRI and TTOPRI).
- Remove the curpriority global variable and use that of curproc.
This was used to detect when a process' priority had lowered and
it should yield. We now effectively yield on every interrupt.
- Activate propogate_priority(). It should now have the desired
effect without needing to also propogate the scheduling class.
- Temporarily comment out the call to vm_page_zero_idle() in the
idle loop. It interfered with propogate_priority() because
the idle process needed to do a non-blocking acquire of Giant
and then other processes would try to propogate their priority
onto it. The idle process should not do anything except idle.
vm_page_zero_idle() will return in the form of an idle priority
kernel thread which is woken up at apprioriate times by the vm
system.
- Update struct kinfo_proc to the new priority interface. Deliberately
change its size by adjusting the spare fields. It remained the same
size, but the layout has changed, so userland processes that use it
would parse the data incorrectly. The size constraint should really
be changed to an arbitrary version number. Also add a debug.sizeof
sysctl node for struct kinfo_proc.


# 65557 06-Sep-2000 jasone

Major update to the way synchronization is done in the kernel. Highlights
include:

* Mutual exclusion is used instead of spl*(). See mutex(9). (Note: The
alpha port is still in transition and currently uses both.)

* Per-CPU idle processes.

* Interrupts are run in their own separate kernel threads and can be
preempted (i386 only).

# 55205 29-Dec-1999 peter

Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 34925 28-Mar-1998 dufault

Finish _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING. Needs P1003_1B and
_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options to work. Changes:

Change all "posix4" to "p1003_1b". Misnamed files are left
as "posix4" until I'm told if I can simply delete them and add
new ones;

Add _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls for FreeBSD and Linux;

Add man pages for _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls;

Add options to LINT;

Minor fixes to P1003_1B code during testing.


# 34319 08-Mar-1998 dufault

Reviewed by: bde

Changes to support building with _POSIX_SOURCE set to 199309L:

1. Add sys/_posix.h to handle those preprocessor defs that POSIX
says have effects when defined before including any header files;

2. Change POSIX4_VISIBLE back to _POSIX4_VISIBLE

3. Add _POSIX4_VISIBLE_HISTORICALLY for pre-existing BSD features now
defined in POSIX. These show up when:

_POSIX_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE are not set or
_POSIX_C_SOURCE is set >= 199309L

and vanish when:

_POSIX_SOURCE is set or _POSIX_C_SOURCE is < 199309L.

4. Explain these in man 9 posix4;

5. Include _posix.h and conditionalize on new feature test.

POSIX.4 headers and sysctl variables. Nothing should change
unless POSIX4 is defined or _POSIX_VERSION is set to 199309.


# 22975 22-Feb-1997 peter

Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 3291 02-Oct-1994 dg

but substantially rewritten by me.


# 2441 01-Sep-1994 dg
