* Add BSD grep to the base system and make it our default grep.gabor2010-07-221-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deliverables: Small and clean code (1,4 KSLOC vs GNU's 8,5 KSLOC), lower memory usage than GNU grep, GNU compatibility, BSD license. TODO: Performance is somewhat behind GNU grep but it is only significant for bigger searches. The reason is complex, the most important factor is that GNU grep uses lots of optimizations to improve the speed of the regex library. First, we need a modern regex library (practically by adopting TRE), add support for GNU-style non-standard regexes and then reevalute the performance issues and look for bottlenecks. In the meantime, for those, who need better performance, it is possible to build GNU grep by setting WITH_GNU_GREP.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While the name is pretentious, a good explanation of its targets is reported in this 17 months old presentation e-mail: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-arch/2008-August/008452.html In order to implement it, the sq_type in sleepqueues is mandatory and not only compiled along with INVARIANTS option. Additively, a new sleepqueue function, sleepq_type() is added, returning the type of the sleepqueue linked to a wchan. Three new sysctls are added in order to configure the thread: debug.deadlkres.slptime_threshold debug.deadlkres.blktime_threshold debug.deadlkres.sleepfreq rappresenting the thresholds for sleep and block time that will lead to a deadlock matching (when exceeded), while the sleepfreq rappresents the number of seconds between 2 consecutive thread runnings. In order to enable the deadlock resolver thread recompile your kernel with the option DEADLKRES.

| | | | | TEKEN_XTERM is now gone. Because we always use xterm mode now, we only need a TEKEN_CONS25 switch to go back to cons25.
* Switch the default terminal emulation style to xterm for most platforms.ed2009-11-131-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The disadvantages of that are: - Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces. - Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling regions. - A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like UTF-8. Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make everyone use an xterm-style console driver. I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator. IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts): - Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and send me the log file. - In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before. You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default. Discussed on: current@

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | re-add $ipv6_enable support for backward compatibility. From UPDATING: 1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used. Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head. Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases. $ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but they are obsolete. 2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and/or "inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead. If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility. 3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6 functionality of interfaces with no corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag, and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8) is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details). Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by using ifconfig(8) like: ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled If YES, the default address selection policy is set as IPv6-preferred. The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO. 4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages, define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. The rc(8) scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes UP. The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC (State-Less Address AutoConfiguration).

This IPI is responsible for sending a stop message among CPUs using a privileged channel when disponible. In other cases it just does match a normal IPI_STOP. Right now the IPI_STOP_HARD functionality uses a NMI on ia32 and amd64 architectures, while on the other has a normal IPI_STOP effect. It is responsibility of maintainers to eventually implement an hard stop when necessary and possible. * Use the new IPI facility in order to implement a new userend SMP kernel function called stop_cpus_hard(). That is specular to stop_cpu() but it does use the privileged channel for the stopping facility. * Let KDB use the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and leave stop_cpus() for all the other cases * Disable interrupts on CPU0 when starting the process of APs suspension. * Style cleanup and comments adding This patch should fix the reboot/shutdown deadlocks many users are constantly reporting on mailing lists.

Modify vnet to use the allocator instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables. Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet region with the help of a the kernel linker. Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided. This change restores static initialization for network stack global variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NGROUPS_MAX, eliminate ABI dependencies on them, and raise the to 1024 and 1023 respectively. (Previously they were equal, but under a close reading of POSIX, NGROUPS_MAX was defined to be too large by 1 since it is the number of supplemental groups, not total number of groups.) The bulk of the change consists of converting the struct ucred member cr_groups from a static array to a pointer. Do the equivalent in kinfo_proc. Introduce new interfaces crcopysafe() and crsetgroups() for duplicating a process credential before modifying it and for setting group lists respectively. Both interfaces take care for the details of allocating groups array. crsetgroups() takes care of truncating the group list to the current maximum (NGROUPS) if necessary. In the future, crsetgroups() may be responsible for insuring invariants such as sorting the supplemental groups to allow groupmember() to be implemented as a binary search. Because we can not change struct xucred without breaking application ABIs, we leave it alone and introduce a new XU_NGROUPS value which is always 16 and is to be used or NGRPS as appropriate for things such as NFS which need to use no more than 16 groups. When feasible, truncate the group list rather than generating an error. Minor changes: - Reduce the number of hand rolled versions of groupmember(). - Do not assign to both cr_gid and cr_groups[0]. - Modify ipfw to cache ucreds instead of part of their contents since they are immutable once referenced by more than one entity.

* Introduce support for adaptive spinning in lockmgr.attilio2009-06-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Actually, as it did receive few tuning, the support is disabled by default, but it can opt-in with the option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS. Due to the nature of lockmgrs, adaptive spinning needs to be selectively enabled for any interested lockmgr. The support is bi-directional, or, in other ways, it will work in both cases if the lock is held in read or write way. In particular, the read path is passible of further tunning using the sysctls debug.lockmgr.retries and debug.lockmgr.loops . Ideally, such sysctls should be axed or compiled out before release. Addictionally note that adaptive spinning doesn't cope well with LK_SLEEPFAIL. The reason is that many (and probabilly all) consumers of LK_SLEEPFAIL are mainly interested in knowing if the interlock was dropped or not in order to reacquire it and re-test initial conditions. This directly interacts with adaptive spinning because lockmgr needs to drop the interlock while spinning in order to avoid a deadlock (further details in the comments inside the patch). Final note: finding someone willing to help on tuning this with relevant workloads would be either very important and appreciated. Tested by: jeff, pho Requested by: many

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | network stack when reentering the inbound path from netgraph, and force queueing of mbufs at the outbound netgraph node. The mechanism relies on two components. First, in netgraph nodes where outbound path of the network stack calls into netgraph, the current thread has to be appropriately marked using the new NG_OUTBOUND_THREAD_REF() macro before proceeding to call further into the netgraph topology, and unmarked using the NG_OUTBOUND_THREAD_UNREF() macro before returning to the caller. Second, netgraph nodes which can potentially reenter the network stack in the inbound path have to mark their inbound hooks using NG_HOOK_SET_TO_INBOUND() macro. The netgraph framework will then detect when there is a danger of a call graph looping back from outbound to inbound path via netgraph, and defer handing off the mbufs to the "inbound" node to a worker thread with a clean stack. In this first pass only the most obvious netgraph nodes have been updated to ensure no outbound to inbound calls can occur. Nodes such as ng_ipfw, ng_gif etc. should be further examined whether a potential for outbound to inbound call looping exists. This commit changes the layout of struct thread, but due to __FreeBSD_version number shortage a version bump has been omitted at this time, nevertheless kernel and modules have to be rebuilt.

* Introduce an infrastructure for dismantling vnet instances.zec2009-06-081-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Vnet modules and protocol domains may now register destructor functions to clean up and release per-module state. The destructor mechanisms can be triggered by invoking "vimage -d", or a future equivalent command which will be provided via the new jail framework. While this patch introduces numerous placeholder destructor functions, many of those are currently incomplete, thus leaking memory or (even worse) failing to stop all running timers. Many of such issues are already known and will be incrementaly fixed over the next weeks in smaller incremental commits. Apart from introducing new fields in structs ifnet, domain, protosw and vnet_net, which requires the kernel and modules to be rebuilt, this change should have no impact on nooptions VIMAGE builds, since vnet destructors can only be called in VIMAGE kernels. Moreover, destructor functions should be in general compiled in only in options VIMAGE builds, except for kernel modules which can be safely kldunloaded at run time. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800097.
