they cannot mount a filesystem that they cannot see in getvfsbyname().
Part 1 of this is a hack, make vfsisloadable() always return true - the
ultimate decider of whether it's loadable or not is kldload() or mount().
Part 2 of this is to have vfsload() call kldload(2) and return success if
it works. This means that we will use a viable kld module in preference
to an LKM!
Ultimately, the thing to do is remove the hacks to do a vfsload in all the
mount_* commands and let the kernel do it by itself in mount(2).
vfork() can't be used. We could use alloca() in execl() so that
it can be called between vfork() and execve(), but a "portable"
popen() shouldn't depend on this. Calling execle() instead of
execl() should be fairly safe, since execle() is supposed to be
callable from signal handlers and signal handlers can't call
malloc(). However, execle() is broken.

The scandir() function returns -1 if it fails.
In many cases when this happens, it does not free
the memory that it allocated, resulting in a memory
leak, or close the directory opened with opendir().
BAD DOG, BAD!
realloc functions check for recursion within the malloc code itself. In
a thread-safe library, the single spinlock ensures that no two threads
go inside the protected code at the same time. The thread implementation
is responsible for ensuring that the spinlock does in fact protect malloc.
There was a window of opportunity in which this was not the case. I'll fix
that with a commit RSN.

Our spinlock implementation allows a particular thread to obtain a lock
multiple times, but release the lock with a single unlock call. Since
we're detecting recursion, we know the lock is already owned by the
current thread in a previous call and must not be released in the
current call. This is really far too dependent on this particular
spinlock implementation, so I've added commented out calls to
THREAD_UNLOCK in the appropriate places. We can activate this code when
spinlock is taught to count each lock operation.
In some cases replace if (a == null) a = malloc(x); else a =
realloc(a, x); with simple reallocf(a, x). Per ANSI-C, this is
guaranteed to be the same thing.
I've been running these on my system here w/o ill effects for some

This does not change the semantics of realloc.
A second commit will be done to commit the conversion of those places in

popen(3) works much better with this change.
- Fix some style errors I made back in 1995.
- Add a new flavor of the err(3) family, which takes an explicit
errno argument rather than implicitly examining errno. This
will make it easier to use these functions in conjunction with
modern library interfaces that return an errno value explicitly.

out of res_stubs.c and into the individual modules where the entry

This should fix the undefined "inet_addr" and related symbols in

size we receive here should fit into the receive buffer. Unfortunately,
there's no 100% foolproof way to distinguish a ridiculously large record
size that a client actually meant to send us from a ridiculously large
record size that was sent as a spoof attempt.
The one value that we can positively identify as bogus is zero. A
zero-sized record makes absolutely no sense, and sending an endless
supply of zeroes will cause the server to loop forever trying to
fill its receive buffer.
Note that the changes made to readtcp() make it okay to revert this
sanity test since the deadlock case where a client can keep the server
occupied forever in the readtcp() select() loop can't happen anymore.
This solution is not ideal, but is relatively easy to implement. The
ideal solution would be to re-arrange the way dispatching is handled
so that the select() loop in readtcp() can be eliminated, but this is
difficult to implement. I do plan to implement the complete solution
eventually but in the meantime I don't want to leave the RPC library
totally vulnerable.
That you very much Sun, may I have another.
