drop the oldest entry in the queue.
There was a fair bit of discussion as to whether or not the
proper action is to drop a random entry in the queue. It's
my conclusion that a random drop is better than a head drop,
however profiling this section of code (done by John Capo)
shows that a head-drop results in a significant performance
increase.
There are scenarios where a random drop is more appropriate.
If I find one in reality, I'll add the random drop code under
a conditional.
Obtained from: discussions and code done by Vernon Schryver (vjs@sgi.com).
It is needed for implementation details but very little of it is
needed for the interface. Include it in the few places that didn't
already include it.
Include <sys/ioccom.h> in <sys/disklabel.h> (as already in
<sys/diskslice.h>) so that all the disk-related headers are almost
self-sufficient.
the prototype.
Put the jump table for i486_bzero() in the data section. This
speeds up i486_bzero() a little on Pentiums without significantly
affecting its speed on 486's.
Don't waste time falling through 14 nop's to return from do1 in
i486_bzero().
Use fastmove() for counts >= 1024 (was > 1024). Cosmetic.
Fixed profiling of fastmove().
Restored meaningful labels from the pre-1.1 version in fastmove().
Local labels are evil.
Fixed (high resolution non-) profiling of __bb_init_func().
comma expression has no effect" in the MAKE_SET() macro. This also
fixes compiling with -O3 (which removes static functions unless
there is a suitable reference to them). Declaring all the static
symbols as __unused would also fix the warning, but would be bogus
(they are used) and wouldn't fix -O3. However, the dummy pointers
for the references waste about 1.5K text and 20K symbol space for
GENERIC. This wastage hasn't changed - the dummy pointers are just
nonzero now.
to deal with the fact that we relied on devconf to do the shutdown
callouts in various drivers. The changes in this commit are to add support
for device shutdown in this driver via the new at_shutdown() mechanism.
Similar changes need to be made to all of the other drivers that need
a shutdown routine called (if_de.c comes to mind immediately).
incorrect, and correct the support for B_ORDERED. The spl window
fix was from Peter Wemm, and his questions led me to find the problem with
the interrupt time page manipulation.
data pointed at in a ktrace file, if this process is being ktrace'ed.
I'm using this to profile malloc usage.
The advantage is that there is no context around this call, ie, no
open file or socket, so it will work in any process, and you can
decide if you want it to collect data or not.
/*

struct timespec {
time_t ts_sec; /* seconds */
long ts_nsec; /* and nanoseconds */
};
The correct names of the fields are tv_sec and tv_nsec.

worked for me, but no guarantees yet.
Basically, move cc earlier to lib-tools target, before libraries are
built. libgcc is built at the same time, so it's special entry is
removed from the libraries target. Also, add bison/gperf immediately
before cc, since they are needed to build cc and are not present on an
earler-than-2.2 system. (libgcc is partly built with the freshly compiled
gcc-2.7.2.1, since it uses __attribute__'s that were not present until now)
This _should_ be enough to get running from older releases, perhaps as far
back as 2.0.5.
(the old cc has been tagged with "gcc_2_6_3_final" so we have a reference
point in case of unforseen disasters...)
This has the objc backend active, and I think I've managed to get the
f77 f2c support through in one piece, but I don't know fortran to test it.
A 'make world' change and libobjc commit will follow.
If you normally do 'make -DNOCLEAN world', do not do so this time, I know
it can fail with groff.
This version of gcc makes a **LOT** more warnings on our kernel.
I maintain that it saves more power to simply "hlt" the CPU than to
spend tons of time trying to tell the APM bios to do the same.
In particular if you do it 100 times a second...
