CVS commit: src

[Andrew Doran <ad%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   ad
Date:           Tue Aug  7 19:04:22 UTC 2007

Modified Files:
        src/include: lwp.h
        src/lib/libc/sys: _lwp_park.2
        src/lib/libpthread: pthread.c pthread_cond.c pthread_int.h

Log Message:
Change the signature of _lwp_park() to accept an lwpid_t and second
hint pointer, but do so in a way that remains compatible with older
pthread libraries. This can be used to wake another thread before the
calling thread goes asleep, saving at least one syscall + involuntary
context switch. This turns out to be a fairly large win on the condvar
benchmarks that I have tried.
