2005-05-25This patch is mortly art's work and was done *a year* ago. Art wants to thankNiklas Hallqvist
everyone for the prompt review and ok of this work ;-) Yeah, that includes me too, or maybe especially me. I am sorry. Change the sched_lock to a mutex. This fixes, among other things, the infamous "telnet localhost &" problem. The real bug in that case was that the sched_lock which is by design a non-recursive lock, was recursively acquired, and not enough releases made us hold the lock in the idle loop, blocking scheduling on the other processors. Some of the other processors would hold the biglock though, which made it impossible for cpu 0 to enter the kernel... A nice deadlock. Let me just say debugging this for days just to realize that it was all fixed in an old diff noone ever ok'd was somewhat of an anti-climax. This diff also changes splsched to be correct for all our architectures.

higher priority. This man page could use some more improvement, but this paragraph was too misleading to be ignored.

Plus splserial() -> spltty(), splsoftserial() -> splsofttty().

* except when it is escaped with a `\' at the end of the line - fix remaining .Nm usage as well - this is from a patch I received from kwesterback@home.com, who has been working on some scripts for fixing formatting errors in mdoc'd man pages Ok, so there could be a cost/benefit debate with this commit, but since I have the patch we might as well commit it...
