The svatophys routine converts a system virtual address to the corresponding physical address. All address and data structure manipulation done within the kernel is performed using system virtual addr...
The swap_lw_bytes interface performs a longword byte swap. The swap_word_bytes interface performs a short word byte swap. The swap_words interface performs a word byte swap. Many computer vendors supp...

The thread data structure contains kernel threads-related information. Kernel modules typically use the wait_result member (with the current_thread routine) to check for the result of the wait. The va...
The thread_block routine blocks (puts to sleep) the current kernel thread and selects the next kernel thread to start (run). The routine schedules the next kernel thread onto this CPU. When a kernel t...
The thread_halt_self routine performs the work associated with a variety of asynchronous traps (ASTs) for a kernel thread that terminates itself. A kernel thread terminates itself (or one kernel threa...
The thread_set_timeout routine must be called as follows: Lock the resource. Call assert_wait_mesg to assert that the current kernel thread is about to block. Unlock the resource. Call thread_set_time...
The thread_terminate routine prepares to stop or permanently stops execution of the specified kernel thread. You created and started this kernel thread in a previous call to the kernel_isrthread or ke...
The thread_wakeup routine wakes up all kernel threads waiting for the event specified in the event argument. This routine is actually a convenience wrapper for the thread_wakeup_prim routine with the ...
The thread_wakeup_one routine wakes up only the first kernel thread in the hash chain waiting for the event specified in the event argument. This routine is actually a convenience wrapper for the thre...
The timeout routine initializes a callout queue element to make it easy to execute the specified routine at the time specified in the time argument. You often use callout routines for infrequent polli...
The trunc_page routine truncates the specified address to be aligned on a page boundary. This routine shields the driver writer from having to know the page size of the system, which could vary in dif...
The uio data structure describes, either singler-vector or multiple-vector I/O. Typically, kernel modules do not manipulate the members of this data structure. However, the data structure is presented...
