CVS commit: [wrstuden-fixsa] src/sys

[Bill Stouder-Studenmund <wrstuden%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   wrstuden
Date:           Fri May 18 01:23:37 UTC 2007

Modified Files:
        src/sys/kern [wrstuden-fixsa]: kern_sa.c
        src/sys/sys [wrstuden-fixsa]: savar.h

Log Message:
Add sa_critpath_{enter,exit}(). These routines are intended to
permit code outside of kern_sa.c to indicate that it is entering
a code path in which any blocking (tsleep()) should NOT trigger
a BLOCKED upcall to userland. These should be used in areas where
we can't really start another thread, such as in context switching.

All these routines do is clear L_SA if it's set & put it back if
it had been set. Their main purpose is stylistic. Any routine could
just fiddle with L_SA, but these routines offer a way to separate
the abstract "Don't interrupt what I'm doing" from the exact implementation
of fiddling with L_SA.

Existing code not in kern_sa.c that twiddles L_SA should be converted
to use these routines.
