I changed the mechanism that other threads use to make requests of the input thread. Instead of signalling it, they now send messages over a pipe that it sets up. The console driver now kills off xterms when the open count goes to zero rather than having the machine shutdown process kill them. I added a couple more build tweaks from Peter Moulder. HZ is now 20, rather than 10. This lets me remove include/net/tcp.h from the patch since Lars apparently prevailed on Alexey to support HZ==20. It also seems to have doubled the BogoMips (which I don't understand - it should have cut it in half) and who can argue with that? Jeff |
