Process-shared locks - can be used by threads from any process, assuming the process - can map the lock memory into its address space.</p> - - <p>Our libthr, the library implementing the POSIX threads and - locking operations, uses a pointer as the internal - representation behind a lock. The pointer contains the - address of the actual structure carrying the lock. This has - unfortunate consequences for implementing the - <tt>PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED</tt> attribute for locks, since - really only the pointer is shared when the lock is mapped into - distinct address spaces.</p> - - <p>A common opinion was that we have no choice but to break the - libthr Application Binary Interface (ABI) by changing the lock - types to be the actual lock structures (and padding for future - ABI extension). This is very painful for users, as our - previous experience with non-versioned libc and libc_r - shown.</p> - - <p>Instead, I proposed and implemented a scheme where - process-shared locks can be implemented without breaking the - ABI. The lock memory is used as a key into the system-global - hash of the shared memory objects (off-pages), which carry the - real lock structures.</p> - - <p>New umtx operations to create or look up the shared object, - by the memory key, were added. Libthr is modified to lookup - the object and use it for shared locks, instead of using - malloc() as for private locks.</p> - - <p>The pointer value in the user-visible lock type contains a - canary for shared locks. Libthr detects the canary and - switches into the shared-lock mode.</p> - - <p>The proposal of inlining the lock structures, besides the - drawbacks of breaking ABI, has its merits. Most important, - the inlining avoids the need of indirection. Another - important advantage over the off-page page approach is that no - off-page object needs to be maintained, and the lifecycle of - the shared lock naturally finishes with the destruction of the - shared memory, without explicit cleanup. Right now, off-pages - hook into vm object termination to avoid leakage, but long - liviness of the vnode vm object prolonges the off-page - existence for shared locks backed by files, however unlikely - they may be.</p> - - <p>Libthr with inlined locks become informally known as libthr2 - project, since the library name better be changed instead of - only bumping the library version. The rtld should ensure that - libthr and libthr2 do not become simultaneously loaded into a - single address space.</p> - </body> - - <sponsor>The FreeBSD Foundation</sponsor> - - <help> - <task> - <p>Implement robust mutexes.</p> - </task> - - <task> - <p>Evaluate and implement libthr2.</p> - </task> - </help> - </project> - - <project cat='team'> - <title>Clusteradm</title> - - <contact> - <person> - <email>[email protected]</email> - </person> - </contact> - - <links></links> - - <body> - <p> - <ul> - <li>migrated services out of the hosting space in ISC - (peter, sbruno)</li> - - <li>begun migration of services into RootBSD hosting space - (peter, sbruno)</li> - - <li>collaborated with phabricator admin team to migrate to - new and improved host in NYI.

Currently version 3.2 and 4.2 coexists, but since - Rails 3.2 runs out of support, the time has come to - switch.</p> - - <p>There is an ongoing progress to remove Rails 3.2 from the - ports tree. While many gems already work with the new version, - there are some exceptions. For example www/redmine needs a big - update (which is currently tested) because it depends on gems - which therefore depends on Rails 3.2.</p> - - <p>If you want to help porting or testing, feel free to contact - me or the mailinglist <tt>[email protected]</tt>.</p> - </body> - <help></help> - </project> - - <project cat='ports'> - <title>GitLab Port</title> - - <contact> - <person> - <name> - <given>Torsten</given> - <common>Zühlsdorff</common> - </name> - <email>[email protected]</email> - </person> - </contact> - - <links></links> - - <body> - <p>After nearly a year of work on this project, GitLab 8.5.5 was - committed into the ports tree.

The new depend code - avoids a 'make depend' tree walk and generates .depend files - during build as a side-effect of compiling. This is using - the -MF flags of the compiler. This speeds up the build by - 15-35%.</li> - - <li><a href="http://bugs.freebsd.org/196193">PR 196193</a>: - <em>WITHOUT_CROSS_COMPILER</em> was fixed to properly use - <em>--sysroot</em> which allows the option to work in more - cases. It is still unsafe when major compiler upgrades - occur. Further work is planned to improve that still.</li> - - <li><em>WITHOUT_TOOLCHAIN</em> now properly builds.</li> - </ul> - </body> - - <sponsor> - EMC / Isilon Storage Division - </sponsor> - - <help> - <task> - <p>Opportunistically skipping the bootstrap compiler phase of - buildworld.</p> - </task> - - <task> - <p>Skipping the 'make obj' tree walk.</p> - </task> - - <task> - <p>Enabling <em>WITH_META_MODE</em> in buildworld to provide a - reliable incremental build using filemon(4) and bmake's - .MAKE.MODE=meta.
