-----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The
change cause sys/types to be included along the way which
contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider
this a solution, but more a workaround.

This will fix the problem with non-working links added with the source

default aliasing address is set later, after the link has been set up,
like both natd(8) and ppp(8) do (for objective reasons).

else, it is equivalent to strdup(). So, we will check if the substitution
tables are trivial at the load time, and possibly save 2 calls to
__collate_substitute() in strcoll().
Still, __collate_substitute() should not exist.
Other minor optimizations. I got ~30% speedup in strcoll() for 50 char strings,
~40% speedup for 100 char strings, and unmeasurable speedup for 1M strings.
Collates are still terribly slow. To make them reasonable fast,

In the words of originator:
:If an incoming connection is initiated through natd and deny_incoming is
:not set, then a new alias_link structure is created to handle the link.
:If there is nothing listening for the incoming connection, then the kernel
:responds with a RST for the connection. However, this is not processed
:correctly in libalias/alias.c:TcpMonitor{In,Out} and
:libalias/alias_db.c:SetState{In,Out} as it thinks a connection
:has been established and therefore applies a timeout of 86400 seconds
:to the link.
:
:If many of these half-connections are initiated (during, for example, a
:port scan of the host), then many thousands of unnecessary links are
:created and the resident size of natd balloons to 20MB or more.

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.
