When a signal handler is invoked in sigsuspend, thread gets
two different signal masks, one is in thread structure,
sigprocmask() can retrieve it, another is in ucontext
which is a third parameter of signal handler, the former is
the result of sigsuspend mask ORed with sigaction's sa_mask
and current signal, the later is the mask in thread structure
before sigsuspend is called. After signal handler is called,
the mask in ucontext should be copied into thread structure,

We approximate pi with more than float precision using pi_hi+pi_lo in
the usual way (pi_hi is actually spelled pi in the source code), and
expect (float)0.5*pi_lo to give the low part of the corresponding
approximation for pi/2. However, the high part for pi/2 (pi_o_2) is
rounded to nearest, which happens to round up, while the high part for
pi was rounded down. Thus pi_o_2+(float)0.5*pi (in infinite precision)
was a very bad approximation for pi/2 -- the low term has the wrong
sign and increases the error drom less than half an ULP to a full ULP.
This fix rounds up instead of down for pi_hi. Consistently rounding
down instead of up should work, and is the method used in e_acosf.c
and e_asinf.c. The reason for the difference is that we sometimes
want to return precisely pi/2 in e_atan2f.c, so it is convenient to
have a correctly rounded (to nearest) value for pi/2 in a variable.
a_acosf.c and e_asinf.c also differ in directly approximating pi/2
instead pi; they multiply by 2.0 instead of dividing by 0.5 to convert
the approximation.
These complications are not directly visible in the double precision
versions because rounding to nearest happens to round down.

Sun finally released a new version of fdlibm just a coupe of weeks

already have (rev.1.9), and one in tan(). I've learned too much about
powf() lately, so this fix was easy to merge. The patch is not verbatim,

[t=p_l+p_h High]. We multiply t by lg2_h, and want the result to be
exact. For the bogus float case of the high-low decomposition trick,
we normally discard the lowest 12 bits of the fraction for the high
part, keeping 12 bits of precision. That was used for t here, but it
doesnt't work because for some reason we only discard the lowest 9
bits in the fraction for lg2_h. Discard another 3 bits of the fraction
for t to compensate.
This bug gave wrong results like:
powf(0.9999999, -2.9999995) = 1.0000002 (should be 1.0000001)
hex values: 3F7FFFFF C03FFFFE 3F800002 3F800001
As explained in the log for the previous commit, the bug is normally
masked by doing float calculations in extra precision on i386's, but
is easily detected by ucbtest on systems that don't have accidental
extra precision.
This completes fixing all the bugs in powf() that were routinely found
by ucbtest.
(1) The bit for the 1.0 part of bp[k] was right shifted by 4. This seems
to have been caused by a typo in converting e_pow.c to e_powf.c.
(2) The lower 12 bits of ax+bp[k] were not discarded, so t_h was actually
plain ax+bp[k]. This seems to have been caused by a logic error in
the conversion.
These bugs gave wrong results like:
powf(-1.1, 101.0) = -15158.703 (should be -15158.707)
hex values: BF8CCCCD 42CA0000 C66CDAD0 C66CDAD4
Fixing (1) gives a result wrong in the opposite direction (hex C66CDAD8),
and fixing (2) gives the correct result.
ucbtest has been reporting this particular wrong result on i386 systems
with unpatched libraries for 9 years. I finally figured out the extent
of the bugs. On i386's they are normally hidden by extra precision.
We use the trick of representing floats as a sum of 2 floats (one much
smaller) to get extra precision in intermediate calculations without
explicitly using more than float precision. This trick is just a
pessimization when extra precision is available naturally (as it always
is when dealing with IEEE single precision, so the float precision part
of the library is mostly misimplemented). (1) and (2) break the trick
in different ways, except on i386's it turns out that the intermediate
calculations are done in enough precision to mask both the bugs and
the limited precision of the float variables (as far as ucbtest can
check).
ucbtest detects the bugs because it forces float precision, but this
is not a normal mode of operation so the bug normally has little effect
on i386's.
On systems that do float arithmetic in float precision, e.g., amd64's,
there is no accidental extra precision and the bugs just give wrong
results.

followed are: Only 3 functions (pthread_cancel, pthread_setcancelstate,
pthread_setcanceltype) are required to be async-signal-safe by POSIX. None of
the rest of the pthread api is required to be async-signal-safe. This means
that only the three mentioned functions are safe to use from inside
signal handlers.
However, there are certain system/libc calls that are
cancellation points that a caller may call from within a signal handler,
and since they are cancellation points calls have to be made into libthr
to test for cancellation and exit the thread if necessary. So, the
cancellation test and thread exit code paths must be async-signal-safe
as well. A summary of the changes follows:
o Almost all of the code paths that masked signals, as well as locking the
pthread structure now lock only the pthread structure.
o Signals are masked (and left that way) as soon as a thread enters
pthread_exit().
o The active and dead threads locks now explicitly require that signals
are masked.
o Access to the isdead field of the pthread structure is protected by both
the active and dead list locks for writing. Either one is sufficient for
reading.
o The thread state and type fields have been combined into one three-state
switch to make it easier to read without requiring a lock. It doesn't need
a lock for writing (and therefore for reading either) because only the
current thread can write to it and it is an integer value.
o The thread state field of the pthread structure has been eliminated. It
was an unnecessary field that mostly duplicated the flags field, but
required additional locking that would make a lot more code paths require
signal masking. Any truly unique values (such as PS_DEAD) have been
reborn as separate members of the pthread structure.
o Since the mutex and condvar pthread functions are not async-signal-safe
there is no need to muck about with the wait queues when handling
a signal ...
o ... which also removes the need for wrapping signal handlers and sigaction(2).
o The condvar and mutex async-cancellation code had to be revised as a result
of some of these changes, which resulted in semi-unrelated changes which
would have been difficult to work on as a separate commit, so they are
included as well.
The only part of the changes I am worried about is related to locking for
the pthread joining fields. But, I will take a closer look at them once this

This assumption is really only valid for UNIX-like filesystems: A
concrete example is NTFS. The NTFS "i-node" does contain a link

inclusive. The end result is that find on an NTFS volume won't

retries and name servers) instead of trying other domain elements in the

host name lookup returned a definitive failure using a non-dotted host name
when, in fact, it timed out on the first part (host.search.domain.name) and
got a definitive host-not-found response on the second part (host.).
Generally speaking, search path name server timeouts can exceed 60 seconds
per element and most machines which consistently timeout on earlier portions
of a search path are effectively non-operational due to the imposed delays.
It is more important for DNS lookups to return the proper error code then
to be able to recover a valid lookup in later portions of the search path
in these situations.
