<p>The goal is to replace the current user threading system provided by

<h2>Using KSE</h2>

<p>All KSE development is being done in 5.0-CURRENT. No special
kernel configuration options are required to build a kernel with
the KSE-related changes (the changes are inextricable from the
FreeBSD scheduler).
FreeBSD scheduler).</p>
<p>In order to use KSE in an application, you need to link it against
libpthreads, which is not built by default. To build and install it
on your system, either run <tt>make all install</tt> from
<span class="filename">/usr/src/lib/libpthread</span> (if you have
sources installed on your system), or check out the
<span class="filename">libpthread</span> and
<span class="filename">libc</span> modules from CVS. You don't need to
rebuild libc, but the libpthread makefiles refer to parts of the
libc sources.</p>
<p>Linking an application against libpthread is straightforward. In its
makefiles, change the <tt>-pthread</tt> option to <tt>-lpthread</tt>
and relink. Alternatively, you can copy libpthread.so on top of
libc_r.so, but this is not recommended until libpthread.so becomes a
bit more stable.
