the initial thread). Instead, just leave an unmapped gap between thread
stacks and make sure that the thread stacks won't grow into these gaps,
simply by limiting the size of the stacks with the 'len' argument to
mmap(). This (if I understand correctly) reduces VM overhead
considerably.

this also makes these two manpages more consistent with the other string/*.3

Primarily, I have added built-in functions for manipulating the
environment, so putenv() is no longer used. XDM and its variants
should now work without modification. Note that the new code uses
the macros in <sys/queue.h>.

locking functions. If an application loads a shared object with
dlopen() and the shared object has an init function which requires
lazy binding, then _rtld_bind is called when the thread is already
inside the dynamic linker. This leads to a recursive acquisition
of the lock, which I was not expecting -- hence the assert failure.
This work-around makes the default locking functions handle recursive
locking. It is NOT the correct fix -- that should be implemented
at the generic locking level rather than in the default locking
functions. I will implement the correct fix in a future commit.
Since the dllockinit() interface will likely need to change, warn
about that in both the man page and the header file.

functions to be used by the dynamic linker. This can be called by
threads packages at start-up time. I will add the call to libc_r
soon.
Also add a default locking method that is used up until dllockinit()
is called. The default method works by blocking SIGVTALRM, SIGPROF,
and SIGALRM in critical sections. It is based on the observation
that most user-space threads packages implement thread preemption
with one of these signals (usually SIGVTALRM).
The dynamic linker has never been reentrant, but it became less
reentrant in revision 1.34 of "src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c".
Starting with that revision, multiple threads each doing lazy
binding could interfere with each other. The usual symptom was
that a symbol was falsely reported as undefined at start-up time.
It was rare but not unseen. This commit fixes it.
Doing the "right thing" here is difficult, so create two ENTRY points for
each function (for example, __setjmp and setjmp are equivalent). This
isn't pretty, but it works for both aout and ELF.
libc symbol naming needs an overhaul in order to properly support function
wrapping, specifically in the case of a real libpthread, and these
duplicate entry points should be fixed as part of that overhaul.

interface botches to psignal(3) which takes a bogus unsigned arg but is
prototyped in the right place.
This is not the last of the interface problems for strsignal(). We
obtained it from NetBSD, but NetBSD has moved its prototype to
<unistd.h>. strsignal() should return const char *, but it returns
char * for historical reasons. NetBSD declares it as returning
__aconst char, where __aconst is normally empty but can be set to
`const' to give better error checking. glibc-2.1.1 prototypes
strsignal() in <string.h>.
