* Implement zero system call thread switching. Performance ofdeischen2000-10-131-46/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | thread switches should be on par with that under scheduler activations. o Timing is achieved through the use of a fixed interval timer (ITIMER_PROF) to count scheduling ticks instead of retrieving the time-of-day upon every thread switch and calculating elapsed real time. o Polling for I/O readiness is performed once for each scheduling tick instead of every thread switch. o The non-signal saving/restoring versions of setjmp/longjmp are used to save and restore thread contexts. This may allow the removal of _THREAD_SAFE macros from setjmp() and longjmp() - needs more investigation. Change signal handling so that signals are handled in the context of the thread that is receiving the signal. When signals are dispatched to a thread, a special signal handling frame is created on top of the target threads stack. The frame contains the threads saved state information and a new context in which the thread can run. The applications signal handler is invoked through a wrapper routine that knows how to restore the threads saved state and unwind to previous frames. Fix interruption of threads due to signals. Some states were being improperly interrupted while other states were not being interrupted. This should fix several PRs. Signal handlers, which are invoked as a result of a process signal (not by pthread_kill()), are now called with the code (or siginfo_t if SA_SIGINFO was set in sa_flags) and sigcontext_t as received from the process signal handler. Modify the search for a thread to which a signal is delivered. The search algorithm is now: o First thread found in sigwait() with signal in wait mask. o First thread found sigsuspend()'d on the signal. o Current thread if signal is unmasked. o First thread found with signal unmasked. Collapse machine dependent support into macros defined in pthread_private.h. These should probably eventually be moved into separate MD files. Change the range of settable priorities to be compliant with POSIX (0-31). The threads library uses higher priorities internally for real-time threads (not yet implemented) and threads executing signal handlers. Real-time threads and threads running signal handlers add 64 and 32, respectively, to a threads base priority. Some other small changes and cleanups. PR: 17757 18559 21943 Reviewed by: jasone

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | just use _foo() <-- foo(). In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this is adequate. In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo(). Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(), nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo(). Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(), tcdrain(), wait(), and waitpid(). Make thread cancellation fully POSIX-compliant. Suggested by: deischen

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ----------------------------- Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not be a problem because current applications don't use any signals higher than NSIG. There are version bumps for the following libraries: libdialog libreadline libc libc_r libedit libftpio libss These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the new range to its fullest. NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been given one now. NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer. According to good taste this means that I will receive a badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled, drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-) NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The change cause sys/types to be included along the way which contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider this a solution, but more a workaround.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for the process, not a separate set for each thread). By default, the process now only has signal handlers installed for SIGVTALRM, SIGINFO and SIGCHLD. The thread kernel signal handler is installed for other signals on demand. This means that SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL processing is now left to the kernel, not the thread kernel. Change the signal dispatch to no longer use a signal thread, and call the signal handler using the stack of the thread that has the signal pending. Change the atomic lock method to use test-and-set asm code with a yield if blocked. This introduces separate locks for each type of object instead of blocking signals to prevent a context switch. It was this blocking of signals that caused the performance degradation the people have noted. This is a *big* change!
