March 2011 Release Notes, Commands and system calls
• efi_rm (1M) command: Enhanced to recover free space in the EFI volume of the EFI file system.
• fcntl (2) system call: Enhanced to close multiple file descriptors at one time.
• poll (2) system call: Updated so that, if there is no writer at the other end of pipe or fifo, pipe
and fifo file descriptors wait in the poll(2) system call. Upon detecting the termination of a
writer, POLLHUP conditions are set in the return condition of the poll(2) system call.
• pstat_getpathname (2) system call: Enhanced to increase the possibility of returning the
pathname of a file.
• rename (2) and unlink (2) system calls: Enhanced so they no longer return an ETXTBSY error
when invoked on an executing file. To maintain compatibility with existing applications, the
kernel variable mvrm_txtbsy_off can be set to 0 by using adb(1) to return ETXTBSY.
• select (2) system call: Enhanced to make use of the high resolution timer when the nfds
argument for the command is greater than 0. Enabled through the tunable
hires_timeout_enable.
