* - Embed the recursion counter for any locking primitive directly in theattilio2008-05-151-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | lock_object, using an unified field called lo_data. - Replace lo_type usage with the w_name usage and at init time pass the lock "type" directly to witness_init() from the parent lock init function. Handle delayed initialization before than witness_initialize() is called through the witness_pendhelp structure. - Axe out LO_ENROLLPEND as it is not really needed. The case where the mutex init delayed wants to be destroyed can't happen because witness_destroy() checks for witness_cold and panic in case. - In enroll(), if we cannot allocate a new object from the freelist, notify that to userspace through a printf(). - Modify the depart function in order to return nothing as in the current CVS version it always returns true and adjust callers accordingly. - Fix the witness_addgraph() argument name prototype. - Remove unuseful code from itismychild(). This commit leads to a shrinked struct lock_object and so smaller locks, in particular on amd64 where 2 uintptr_t (16 bytes per-primitive) are gained. Reviewed by: jhb
* Optimize sx locks to use simple atomic operations for the common cases ofjhb2007-03-311-0/+43
obtaining and releasing shared and exclusive locks. The algorithms for manipulating the lock cookie are very similar to that rwlocks. This patch also adds support for exclusive locks using the same algorithm as mutexes. A new sx_init_flags() function has been added so that optional flags can be specified to alter a given locks behavior. The flags include SX_DUPOK, SX_NOWITNESS, SX_NOPROFILE, and SX_QUITE which are all identical in nature to the similar flags for mutexes. Adaptive spinning on select locks may be enabled by enabling the ADAPTIVE_SX kernel option. Only locks initialized with the SX_ADAPTIVESPIN flag via sx_init_flags() will adaptively spin. The common cases for sx_slock(), sx_sunlock(), sx_xlock(), and sx_xunlock() are now performed inline in non-debug kernels. As a result, <sys/sx.h> now requires <sys/lock.h> to be included prior to <sys/sx.h>. The new kernel option SX_NOINLINE can be used to disable the aforementioned inlining in non-debug kernels. The size of struct sx has changed, so the kernel ABI is probably greatly disturbed. MFC after: 1 month Submitted by: attilio Tested by: kris, pjd
