splx() and friends have been no-ops since FreeBSD 5.x was branched.
Synchronization is now done using other mechanisms such as mutexes and
spin locks. See the new man page locking(9) in -CURRENT.
It does not seem to get installed:
The locking.9 is not the part of the current build as the comment
of the initial commit of that file says.
But if we start to refer people to it, surely it is time to install it?
It is like the Biblical example of lighting a candle and then putting
a bucket over it... Pretty much pointless.
since no locking gurus have given it a "blessing of correctness" yet
I have not put it into the build as it may be wildly inaccurate. As soon as
I have been told that it is correct I'll attach it.. It's only been there
for a few days..
Doing a grep for locking in /usr/src/share/man/man9/Makefile produce
nothing.
But if you're running -CURRENT, then you can view the page from
the sources (assuming that you have the system sources in /usr/src/):
$ groff -Tascii -mandoc /usr/src/share/man/man9/locking.9 | less
Our you can download the locking.9 from
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/man/man9/locking.9
Yes, but you must know what you are looking for. The nice unix tools,
man -k and apropos, is not your friend anymore.
