In principle, this shouldn't break anything, since they're already in signal.h on other systems, and the FreeBSD manpage says that both pthread.h and signal.h need to be included to get these functions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is also implemented in glibc and is used by a number of existing applications (mysql, firefox, etc). This mutex type is a default mutex with the additional property that it spins briefly when attempting to acquire a contested lock, doing trylock operations in userland before entering the kernel to block if eventually unsuccessful. The expectation is that applications requesting this mutex type know that the mutex is likely to be only held for very brief periods, so it is faster to spin in userland and probably succeed in acquiring the mutex, than to enter the kernel and sleep, only to be woken up almost immediately. This can help significantly in certain cases when pthread mutexes are heavily contended and held for brief durations (such as mysql). Spin up to 200 times before entering the kernel, which represents only a few us on modern CPUs. No performance degradation was observed with this value and it is sufficient to avoid a large performance drop in mysql performance in the heavily contended pthread mutex case. The libkse implementation is a NOP. Reviewed by: jeff MFC after: 3 days

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1003.1c-1995. Undefine _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS, since we do not implement all of the necessary interfaces. At least getgrgid_r(), getrnam_r(), getpwuid_r(), getpwnam_r(), getc_unlocked(), getchar_unlocked(), putc_unlocked(), and putchar_unlocked() are missing. Due to a likely typo in 1003.1c-1995, we are not technically allowed to define _POSIX_THREADS without defining _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS, but either way we're non-compliant, so I'm leaving _POSIX_THREADS defined.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implementation requires two things: 1.) The priority queues must be protected during insertion and removal of threads. Since the kernel scheduler must modify the priority queues, a spinlock for protection cannot be used. The functions _thread_kern_sched_defer() and _thread_kern_sched_undefer() were added to {un}defer kernel scheduler activation. 2.) A thread (active) priority change can be performed only when the thread is removed from the priority queue. The implementation uses a threads active priority when inserting it into the queue. A by-product is that thread switches are much faster. A separate queue is used for waiting and/or blocked threads, and it is searched at most 2 times in the kernel scheduler when there are active threads. It should be possible to reduce this to once by combining polling of threads waiting on I/O with the loop that looks for timed out threads and the minimum timeout value. o Functions to defer kernel scheduler activation were added. These are _thread_kern_sched_defer() and _thread_kern_sched_undefer() and may be called recursively. These routines do not block the scheduling signal, but latch its occurrence. The signal handler will not call the kernel scheduler when the running thread has deferred scheduling, but it will be called when running thread undefers scheduling. o Added support for _POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING. All the POSIX routines required by this should now be implemented. One note, SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_FIFO, and SCHED_RR are required to be defined by including pthread.h. These defines are currently in sched.h. I modified pthread.h to include sched.h but don't know if this is the proper thing to do. o Added support for priority protection and inheritence mutexes. This allows definition of _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_PROTECT and _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_INHERIT. o Added additional error checks required by POSIX for mutexes and condition variables. o Provided a wrapper for sigpending which is marked as a hidden syscall. o Added a non-portable function as a debugging aid to allow an application to monitor thread context switches. An application can install a routine that gets called everytime a thread (explicitly created by the application) gets context switched. The routine gets passed the pthread IDs of the threads that are being switched in and out. I found this useful, but we can get rid of it if you want. Submitted by: Dan Eischen <eischen@vigrid.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA, which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended). I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff. The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags. also: Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions. The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with libc. also: I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page. It allows people to type make -DWANT_LIBC_R world to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r. also: The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3. The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.
