Context switch is split up in machine indipendent code (MI Code) and machine dependent code (MD Code) For MI part take a look at mi_switch in sys/kern/kern_sync.c sched_switch in sys/kern/sched_ule.c and sys/kern_4bsd.c depending on configurated scheduler in the kernel config file. For MD part search for symbol cpu_switch inside the specific arch directory. -- Gianni _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
