# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 242515 03-Nov-2012 attilio

Merge r242395,242483 from mutex implementation:
give rwlock(9) the ability to crunch different type of structures, with
the only constraint that they have a lock cookie named rw_lock.
This name, then, becames reserved from the struct that wants to use
the rwlock(9) KPI and other locking primitives cannot reuse it for
their members.

Namely such structs are the current struct rwlock and the new struct
rwlock_padalign. The new structure will define an object which has the
same layout of a struct rwlock but will be allocated in areas aligned
to the cache line size and will be as big as a cache line.

For further details check comments on above mentioned revisions.

# 179025 15-May-2008 attilio

- Embed the recursion counter for any locking primitive directly in the
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.

# 171052 26-Jun-2007 attilio

Introduce a new rwlocks initialization function: rw_init_flags.
This is very similar to sx_init_flags: it initializes the rwlock using
special flags passed as third argument (RW_DUPOK, RW_NOPROFILE,
RW_NOWITNESS, RW_QUIET, RW_RECURSE).
Among these, the most important new feature is probabilly that rwlocks
can be acquired recursively now (for both shared and exclusive paths).

Because of the recursion counter, the ABI is changed.

Rename the 'mtx_object', 'rw_object', and 'sx_object' members of mutexes,
rwlocks, and sx locks to 'lock_object'.


# 155121 31-Jan-2006 jhb

Fix a typo and match the copyright on rwlock.h.


# 154956 28-Jan-2006 scottl

Add _rwlock.h, apparently missed from the rwlock.h commit.
