threading problems

2003-09-01 Thread RMH
Hello gentlemen, I seem to have threading problems with 5.1-RELEASE. Every time I run a multithreaded application (linked against libc_r) on a SMP system, I get only 1 CPU loaded at any moment given. I tried different software, including Viewperf, but results remain the same. When linked against L

buildkernel and gcc2

2003-03-19 Thread RMH
Hello gentlemen, I have to note that currently it isn't really possible to compile -CURRENT by GCC 2.95.x in the way it has to be. Buildkernel is broken in several places by different means, however GCC 3.2.x passes them successfully, even with no warnings shown. Namely, first problem is in bsd.k

SMP & CPU_SUSP_HLT

2003-06-20 Thread RMH
Hello gentlemen, it seems CPU_SUSP_HLT does nothing for SMP kernels. i386/i386/machdep.c: #ifdef SMP static int cpu_idle_hlt = 0; #else static int cpu_idle_hlt = 1; #endif It's noted that when enabled it will result in about 4.2% loss in performance while doing buildworld. I haven't c
