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.
WARNING: Programs which muck about with struct proc in userland
will have to be fixed.
Reviewed, but found imperfect by: bde
for field widths being 2 larger than specified for "%<number>p". Only
printing of null pointers is "wrong" now (it is actually "right", but
inconsistent with printf(3)).
Distribute all but the most fundamental malloc types. This time I also
remembered the trick to making things static: Put "static" in front of
them.
A couple of finer points by: bde
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.
Add more features to the one remaining to handle the job:
+ signed quantity.
# alternate format
- left padding
* read width as next arg.
n numeric in (argument specified) default radix.
Fix the DDB debugger to use these.
Use vprintf in debug routine in pcvt.
The warnings from gcc may become more wrong and intolerable because
of this.
Warning: I have not checked the entire source for unsupported or
changed constructs, but generally belive that there are only a few.
Suggested by: bde
in the wrong place. Blank padding in the right place or zero padding
would be inconsistent with user mode.
Put case 'p' in alphabetical order.
Implement %p in sprintf() too. I'd like only a single, more complete
printf() core, perhaps one based on vsnprintf().
drivers to protect DDB from being invoked while the console is in
process-controlled (i.e., graphics) mode.
Implement the logic to use this hook from within pcvt. (I'm sure
Søren will do the syscons part RSN).
I've still got one occasion where the system stalled, but my attempts
to trigger the situation artificially resulted int the expected
behaviour. It's hard to track bugs without the console and DDB
available. :-/
in your kernel config now).
2) Added ps ddb function from 1.1.5. Cleaned it up a bit and moved into its
own file.
3) Added \r handing in db_printf.
4) Added missing memory usage stats to statclock().
5) Added dummy function to pseudo_set so it will be emitted if there
are no other pseudo declarations.
