I would like to ask for a review and/or testing of the following branch for a phased removal of solaris cyclic code: https://github.com/avg-I/freebsd/compare/review/no-cyclic Raw diff: https://github.com/avg-I/freebsd/compare/master...review/no-cyclic.diff The only user of cyclic now is DTrace profile provider, so I am converting it to use our improved callout(9). cyclic is almost a complete implementation of an alternative to our callout(9), so having that big chunk of foreign code which duplicates a core function is not nice. One thing that I am not sure about is what PROF_ARTIFICIAL_FRAMES should be on different platforms. Also, I am not sure if the number of interrupt, timer, etc frames depends on a timer being used. I'd appreciate any help on this. Thanks! -- Andriy Gapon
