while with threaded software in -CURRENT acting very "weird". It has
seemed, for example, in Mozilla that threads attempting to do host
lookups have been locking up. That's exactly the case.
There was a race condition in the implementation of the initialization
of the mutex used to protect FILE operations, first of all: multiple
instances of FLOCKFILE() in libc could occur on the same FILE at
the same time and cause strange behavior by overwriting eachothers'
creation of the mutex and the rest of the file lock.
Secondly, it's not appropriate to test the "validity" of the file
descriptor referenced by the FILE; if the code is calling FLOCKFILE()
or FUNLOCKFILE(), it wants the FILE to be locked or unlocked, not
to be locked or unlocked on the condition that _file is >= 0. This
also could quite easily cause leaks by failing to perform the lock or
unlock operation when it actually is needed.
Mozilla now works again on -CURRENT when linked to libc_r.so.5 and
libc.so.5.
ABI change. There is some serious evilness here to work around some
gcc weaknesses. We need to know the sizeof(FILE) manually until __sF
goes away in the next major bump. We have the size for Alpha and i386,
missing is ia64, ppc and sparc* (and i386 with 64 bit longs).
At some point down the track we can change the stdin etc #defines to
stop hard coding the size of FILE into application binaries.
Lots of head scratching and ideas and testing by: green, imp
causing some versions of as to dump core. This survived make
buildworld/installworld and the building gettext port afterwards.

o Back out the __std* stuff. Can't figure out how to do this right now,
so we'll save it for late.
o use _up as a pointer for extra fields that we need to access.
o back out the libc major version bump.

bikeshed in -arch. It isn't quite over, but it has been well established
that this can be adjusted or refined. But we do seem to have consensis
on a major bump of some sort. After this, it should reasonably safe
to build world again.
This change is to get rid of __sF[] and use seperate __stdin/out/err
handles. This means we can pad on extra bits onto the end of FILE
at will without going through this all over again. __sF[] was evil
because it compiled the sizeof(FILE) into every stdio using program.

try a hopefully more robust stdin/stdout/stderr. This costs an indirect
pointer fetch, but saves us from changes in 'FILE'. The __stdin stuff
is there to not pollute application name space if the application does
not use <stdio.h> and also in case something depended on the current
behavior where stdin etc was a #define.

Add a lock to FILE. flockfile and friends are now implemented
(for the most part) in libc. flockfile_debug is implemented in
libc_r; I suppose it's about time to kill it but will do it in
a future commit.
Fix a potential deadlock in _fwalk in a threaded environment.
A file flag (__SIGN) was added to stdio.h that, when set, tells
_fwalk to ignore it in its walk. This seemed to be needed in
refill.c because each file needs to be locked when flushing.
Add a stub for pthread_self in libc. This is needed by flockfile
which is allowed by POSIX to be recursive.
Make fgetpos() error return value (-1) match man page.
Remove recursive calls to locked functions (stdio); I think I've
got them all, but I may have missed a couple.
A few K&R -> ANSI conversions along with removal of a few instances
of "register".

adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.
Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.
Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.
Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.

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.

is good for... :-)), I discovered that part of the change when mkstemps()
was brought in was missed - it was missing the termination case to make
sure it doesn't walk into the suffix. This isn't the same code OpenBSD
has, I think this is a little better as we terminate the loop in a better
spot.
