Flag Day for ON build and NCPU Heads UpDate: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 18:37:34 -0700 From: Bill Holler <Bill.Holler at sun dot com> To: on-all at eng dot sun dot com, onnv-gate at onnv dot sfbay dot sun dot com Subject: Flag Day for ON build and NCPU Heads Up This putback changes NCPU to 256 on amd64 kernels. This is a minor flag day for unix and brandz. These components should be from matching builds. A make in usr/src/uts is required. bfu does the right thing. Tar kernel installs require a make in usr/src/uts. Developers must use the cpuset_t data type for bitmaps of cpus. An unsigned long is no longer sufficient on 64-bit x86 kernels. All places in the kernel where an unsigned long was used were changed. Please ensure future projects use cpuset_t and the accessor macros in uts/common/sys/cpuvar.h for cpu bitmaps.
