DragonFly BSD changed the time unit for TCP keep-alive from milliseconds to seconds since v5.8 and Solaris 11.4 added
TCP_KEEPIDLE,TCP_KEEPINTVL, andTCP_KEEPCNTwith time units in second while Solaris <11.4 still useTCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLDandTCP_KEEPALIVE_ABORT_THRESHOLDwith time units in millisecond.Currently, we don't differentiate among DragonFly BSD versions but set the keepalive options with seconds, which will result in unexpected behaviors on DragonFlyBSD <5.8. This PR intends to fix the wrong usage of time units of TCP keepalive options on DragonFly BSD <5.8 and consolidate the logic of time units conversion for TCP keepalive across platforms.
In addition, this PR introduces a new custom macro for determining Solaris 11.4. This macro is expected to help us implement some new features for
libuvusing some abilities that only exist on Solaris 11.4 and other mainstream platforms in the future, considering that Oracle developed and released Solaris 11.4 to replenish plenty of features on Solaris that have already been implemented on other UNIX-like OSs but missing from Solaris <11.4, also bring a good deal of new features.References
