SCHED_ULE as the default scheduler -- &a.jeff; SCHED_ULE provides better interactivity, higher performance, and the ability to support pinning and affinity. Basic HTT scheduling policies should be in place for 5.3 also.
KSE as the default threads library -- &a.davidxu;, &a.deischen; KSE has matured to the point of being more stable and POSIX-compliant than the traditional libc_r. All Tier-1 platforms MUST have stable KSE support for 5.3 in order to support a consistent transition. Additionally, all ports that depend on the pthreads API must be modified to properly detect and support the default threading library.
Updated binutils for all platforms -- -- Binutils needs updating in order to support new platforms, newer GDB versions, and Thread Local Storage.
BIND9 import into 5-CURRENT----BIND9 must be imported for 5.3-RELEASE.
Completed compiler support for dynamic --&a.obrien;All platforms but IA64 have modifications to support /libexec/ld.so + in the gcc base source tree; these changes must be merged back into + the FSF tree and brought into FreeBSD on the vendor branch for + 5.3-RELEASE.
Thread-Local Storage--&a.obrien;To complete support for thread-local storage on FreeBSD, new + toolchain pieces must be imported, and support must be added + per-platform. Currently pending platforms are amd64, alpha, ia64, + i386, sparc64, and powerpc.
