option is used (not on by default). - In the case of trying to lock a mutex, if the MTX_CONTESTED flag is set, then we can safely read the thread pointer from the mtx_lock member while holding sched_lock. We then examine the thread to see if it is currently executing on another CPU. If it is, then we keep looping instead of blocking. - In the case of trying to unlock a mutex, it is now possible for a mutex to have MTX_CONTESTED set in mtx_lock but to not have any threads actually blocked on it, so we need to handle that case. In that case, we just release the lock as if MTX_CONTESTED was not set and return. - We do not adaptively spin on Giant as Giant is held for long times and it slows SMP systems down to a crawl (it was taking several minutes, like 5-10 or so for my test alpha and sparc64 SMP boxes to boot up when they adaptively spinned on Giant). - We only compile in the code to do this for SMP kernels, it doesn't make sense for UP kernels. Tested on: i386, alpha, sparc64 |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ 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, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). 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 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. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/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 NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
