Sridhar, > I heard that even Interrupts run under kernel threads context See ithread(9). > How can a kernel thread yield CPU when it detects it is idle? kthread_suspend(), or yield(). See kthread(9), mi_switch(9). Let me also answer your questions(s) at another level: I have found information about the kernel in the following places: 1. The section 9 manual pages 2. The FreeBSD Arch Handbook 3. The FreeBSD Handbook 4. The sources -- use 'glimpse' on a checked out -CURRENT tree. 5. Under /usr/share/doc/papers/ If you find some documentation to be missing, and you had to figure out something non-obvious, please file a PR with sample text. Regards, Koshy <jkoshy@freebsd.org>
