8360efbd6c Bring in a hybrid of SunSoft's transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) and
associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as
bugs fixed along the way.

  Bring in required TLI library routines to support this.

  Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD
  has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls
  into BSD socket calls.

  This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994,
  however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly
  only made available after this porting effort was underway).

  The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the
  1999 release.

  Several key features are introduced with this update:
    Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread
    safe)
    Updated, a more modern interface.

  Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with
  the recent RPC API.

  There is an update to the pthreads library, a function
  pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads
  library.

  While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too
  long of a wait.

  New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over
  an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing
  set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure
  than the old portmapper.

  Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded
  to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6.

  Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars,
  which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.

9233c4d942 Simplify sytem call renaming. Instead of _foo() <-- _libc_foo <-- foo(),
just use _foo() <-- foo().  In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do
call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this
is adequate.  In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are
now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().

Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(),
nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo().

Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(),
tcdrain(), wait(), and waitpid().

Make thread cancellation fully POSIX-compliant.

0a3fa43c7e Implement continuations to correctly handle [sig|_]longjmp() inside of a
signal handler.  Explicitly check for jumps to anywhere other than the
current stack, since such jumps are undefined according to POSIX.

While we're at it, convert thread cancellation to use continuations, since
it's cleaner than the original cancellation code.

Avoid delivering a signal to a thread twice.  This was a pre-existing bug,
but was likely unexposed until these other changes were made.

Defer signals generated by pthread_kill() so that they can be delivered on
the appropriate stack.  deischen claims that this is unnecessary, which is
likely true, but without this change, pthread_kill() can cause undefined
priority queue states and/or PANICs in [sig|_]longjmp(), so I'm leaving
this in for now.  To compile this code out and exercise the bug, define
the _NO_UNDISPATCH cpp macro.  Defining _PTHREADS_INVARIANTS as well will
cause earlier crashes.

02292f131a In the words of the author:
o The polling mechanism for I/O readiness was changed from
    select() to poll().  In additon, a wrapped version of poll()
    is now provided.

  o The wrapped select routine now converts each fd_set to a
    poll array so that the thread scheduler doesn't have to
    perform a bitwise search for selected fds each time file
    descriptors are polled for I/O readiness.

  o The thread scheduler was modified to use a new queue (_workq)
    for threads that need work.  Threads waiting for I/O readiness
    and spinblocks are added to the work queue in addition to the
    waiting queue.  This reduces the time spent forming/searching
    the array of file descriptors being polled.

  o The waiting queue (_waitingq) is now maintained in order of
    thread wakeup time.  This allows the thread scheduler to
    find the nearest wakeup time by looking at the first thread
    in the queue instead of searching the entire queue.

  o Removed file descriptor locking for select/poll routines.  An
    application should not rely on the threads library for providing
    this locking; if necessary, the application should use mutexes
    to protect selecting/polling of file descriptors.

  o Retrieve and use the kernel clock rate/resolution at startup
    instead of hardcoding the clock resolution to 10 msec (tested
    with kernel running at 1000 HZ).

  o All queues have been changed to use queue.h macros.  These
    include the queues of all threads, dead threads, and threads
    waiting for file descriptor locks.

  o Added reinitialization of the GC mutex and condition variable
    after a fork.  Also prevented reallocation of the ready queue
    after a fork.

  o Prevented the wrapped close routine from closing the thread
    kernel pipes.

  o Initialized file descriptor table for stdio entries at thread
    init.

  o Provided additional flags to indicate to what queues threads
    belong.

  o Moved TAILQ initialization for statically allocated mutex and
    condition variables to after the spinlock.

  o Added dispatching of signals to pthread_kill.  Removing the
    dispatching of signals from thread activation broke sigsuspend
    when pthread_kill was used to send a signal to a thread.

  o Temporarily set the state of a thread to PS_SUSPENDED when it
    is first created and placed in the list of threads so that it
    will not be accidentally scheduled before becoming a member
    of one of the scheduling queues.

  o Change the signal handler to queue signals to the thread kernel
    pipe if the scheduling queues are protected.  When scheduling
    queues are unprotected, signals are then dequeued and handled.

  o Ensured that all installed signal handlers block the scheduling
    signal and that the scheduling signal handler blocks all
    other signals.  This ensures that the signal handler is only
    interruptible for and by non-scheduling signals.  An atomic
    lock is used to decide which instance of the signal handler
    will handle pending signals.

  o Removed _lock_thread_list and _unlock_thread_list as they are
    no longer used to protect the thread list.

  o Added missing RCS IDs to modified files.

  o Added checks for appropriate queue membership and activity when
    adding, removing, and searching the scheduling queues.  These
    checks add very little overhead and are enabled when compiled
    with _PTHREADS_INVARIANTS defined.  Suggested and implemented
    by Tor Egge with some modification by me.

  o Close a race condition in uthread_close.  (Tor Egge)

  o Protect the scheduling queues while modifying them in
    pthread_cond_signal and _thread_fd_unlock.  (Tor Egge)

  o Ensure that when a thread gets a mutex, the mutex is on that
    threads list of owned mutexes.  (Tor Egge)

  o Set the kernel-in-scheduler flag in _thread_kern_sched_state
    and _thread_kern_sched_state_unlock to prevent a scheduling
    signal from calling the scheduler again.  (Tor Egge)

  o Don't use TAILQ_FOREACH macro while searching the waiting
    queue for threads in a sigwait state, because a change of
    state destroys the TAILQ link.  It is actually safe to do
    so, though, because once a sigwaiting thread is found, the
    loop ends and the function returns.  (Tor Egge)

  o When dispatching signals to threads, make the thread inherit
    the signal deferral flag of the currently running thread.
    (Tor Egge)

58a7cc5d1b [ The author's description... ]
o Runnable threads are now maintained in priority queues.  The
    implementation requires two things:

      1.) The priority queues must be protected during insertion
          and removal of threads.  Since the kernel scheduler
          must modify the priority queues, a spinlock for
          protection cannot be used.   The functions
          _thread_kern_sched_defer() and _thread_kern_sched_undefer()
          were added to {un}defer kernel scheduler activation.

      2.) A thread (active) priority change can be performed only
          when the thread is removed from the priority queue.  The
          implementation uses a threads active priority when
          inserting it into the queue.

    A by-product is that thread switches are much faster.  A
    separate queue is used for waiting and/or blocked threads,
    and it is searched at most 2 times in the kernel scheduler
    when there are active threads.  It should be possible to
    reduce this to once by combining polling of threads waiting
    on I/O with the loop that looks for timed out threads and
    the minimum timeout value.

  o Functions to defer kernel scheduler activation were added.  These
    are _thread_kern_sched_defer() and _thread_kern_sched_undefer()
    and may be called recursively.  These routines do not block the
    scheduling signal, but latch its occurrence.  The signal handler
    will not call the kernel scheduler when the running thread has
    deferred scheduling, but it will be called when running thread
    undefers scheduling.

  o Added support for _POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING.  All the
    POSIX routines required by this should now be implemented.
    One note, SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_FIFO, and SCHED_RR are required
    to be defined by including pthread.h.  These defines are currently
    in sched.h.  I modified pthread.h to include sched.h but don't
    know if this is the proper thing to do.

  o Added support for priority protection and inheritence mutexes.
    This allows definition of _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_PROTECT and
    _POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_INHERIT.

  o Added additional error checks required by POSIX for mutexes and
    condition variables.

  o Provided a wrapper for sigpending which is marked as a hidden
    syscall.

  o Added a non-portable function as a debugging aid to allow an
    application to monitor thread context switches.  An application
    can install a routine that gets called everytime a thread
    (explicitly created by the application) gets context switched.
    The routine gets passed the pthread IDs of the threads that are
    being switched in and out.

Submitted by: Dan Eischen <eischen@vigrid.com>

Changes by me:

  o Added a PS_SPINBLOCK state to deal with the priority inversion
    problem most often (I think) seen by threads calling malloc/free/realloc.

  o Dispatch signals to the running thread directly rather than at a
    context switch to avoid the situation where the switch never occurs.

dc3a8b52c0 Move the cleanup code that frees memory allocated for a dead thread from
the thread kernel into a garbage collector thread which is started when
the fisrt thread is created (other than the initial thread). This
removes the window of opportunity where a context switch will cause a
thread that has locked the malloc spinlock, to enter the thread kernel,
find there is a dead thread and try to free memory, therefore trying
to lock the malloc spinlock against itself.

The garbage collector thread acts just like any other thread, so
instead of having a spinlock to control accesses to the dead thread
list, it uses a mutex and a condition variable so that it can happily
wait to be signalled when a thread exists.

deb9688ae1 In libc_r, rename vfork syscall to _thread_sys_vfork and make vfork an alias
to fork. It is difficult to do real vfork in libc_r, since almost every
operation with file descriptsor changes _thread_fd_table and friends.

4a027d50c7 Change signal model to match POSIX (i.e. one set of signal handlers
for the process, not a separate set for each thread). By default, the
process now only has signal handlers installed for SIGVTALRM, SIGINFO
and SIGCHLD. The thread kernel signal handler is installed for other
signals on demand. This means that SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL processing is now
left to the kernel, not the thread kernel.

Change the signal dispatch to no longer use a signal thread, and
call the signal handler using the stack of the thread that has the
signal pending.

Change the atomic lock method to use test-and-set asm code with
a yield if blocked. This introduces separate locks for each type
of object instead of blocking signals to prevent a context
switch. It was this blocking of signals that caused the performance
degradation the people have noted.

This is a *big* change!

Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).

I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.

The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.

also:

Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.

also:

I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type

make -DWANT_LIBC_R world

to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page.  The default is still not to build libc_r.


also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.

82d29a82b5 Added a new module "uthread_autoinit.cc". This is a small C++ module.
It uses a static constructor to call _thread_init() at program start-up
time.  That eliminates the need for any initialization hooks in crt0.o.

Added a symbol reference in "uthread_init.c", to ensure that the new
module will always be pulled in when the archive version of the library
is used.

In "Makefile.inc", defined CPLUSPLUSLIB, so that the constructor will be
properly invoked in the shared library.
