ffc19644c0 Condition variable waiters are queued in descending priority order, so
there is no need to wake all waiters to assure that the highest priority
thread is run.  As the semaphore code is written, there was no correctness
problem, but the change improves sem_post() performance.

3b26be6ae1 Properly copy the P_ALTSTACK flag in struct proc::p_flag to the child
process on fork(2).

It is the supposed behavior stated in the manpage of sigaction(2), and
Solaris, NetBSD and FreeBSD 3-STABLE correctly do so.

The previous fix against libc_r/uthread/uthread_fork.c fixed the
problem only for the programs linked with libc_r, so back it out and
fix fork(2) itself to help those not linked with libc_r as well.

59cc2dcac7 Move the check for a pending signals to after the thread has been
placed in any scheduling queue(s).  The process of dispatching
signals to a thread can change its state which will attempt to add
or remove the thread from any scheduling queue to which it belongs.
This can break some assertions if the thread isn't in the queue(s)
implied by its state.

When adding dispatching a pending signal to a thread, be sure to
remove the signal from the threads set of pending signals.

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.

e5106342c6 Add weak definitions for wrapped system calls. In general:
_foo - wrapped system call
	foo - weak definition to _foo

and for cancellation points:

	_foo - wrapped system call
	__foo - enter cancellation point, call _foo(), leave
	        cancellation point
	foo - weak definition to __foo

Change use of global _thread_run to call a function to get the
currently running thread.

Make all pthread_foo functions weak definitions to _pthread_foo,
where _pthread_foo is the implementation.  This allows an application
to provide its own pthread functions.

Provide slightly different versions of pthread_mutex_lock and
pthread_mutex_init so that we can tell the difference between
a libc mutex and an application mutex.  Threads holding mutexes
internal to libc should never be allowed to exit, call signal
handlers, or cancel.

cad1dd7bb4 Force strong references to several pthread_* functions which are weakly
referenced to by libgcc.a.

This is needed when linking statically as SVR4 (ie, ELF) behavior is to only
link in a module if it satisfies an undefined strong reference from somewhere.
(this surprises a lot of people) Things are different when using shared libs,
the entire library and its modules and their symbols are available at run-time
(when the weak reference is seen to still be unsatisfied and is satisfied on
the spot), this is not the case with static libs.

Thus one can have a static binary with unresolved week references, and at
run-time dereference a NULL pointer.

Don't install and start the scheduling timer until the

having a periodic scheduling signal in a single threaded
program.  Reported by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>.

Allow builtin longjmps out of application installed
signal handlers without the need perform any post-handler
cleanup:

  o Change signal handling to save the threads interrupted
    context on the stack.  The threads current context is
    now always stored in the same place (in the pthread).
    If and when a signal handler returns, the interrupted
    context is copied back to the storage area in the pthread.

  o Before calling invoking a signal handler for a thread,
    back the thread out of any internal waiting queues
    (mutex, CV, join, etc) to which it belongs.

Rework uthread_info.c a bit to make it easier to change
the format of a thread dump.

Use an alternal signal stack for the thread library's
signal handler.  This allows us to fiddle with the main
threads stack without fear of it being in use.

fbeb36e4bf Implement zero system call thread switching. Performance of
thread switches should be on par with that under scheduler
activations.

  o Timing is achieved through the use of a fixed interval
    timer (ITIMER_PROF) to count scheduling ticks instead
    of retrieving the time-of-day upon every thread switch
    and calculating elapsed real time.

  o Polling for I/O readiness is performed once for each
    scheduling tick instead of every thread switch.

  o The non-signal saving/restoring versions of setjmp/longjmp
    are used to save and restore thread contexts.  This may
    allow the removal of _THREAD_SAFE macros from setjmp()
    and longjmp() - needs more investigation.

Change signal handling so that signals are handled in the
context of the thread that is receiving the signal.  When
signals are dispatched to a thread, a special signal handling
frame is created on top of the target threads stack.  The
frame contains the threads saved state information and a new
context in which the thread can run.  The applications signal
handler is invoked through a wrapper routine that knows how
to restore the threads saved state and unwind to previous
frames.

Fix interruption of threads due to signals.  Some states
were being improperly interrupted while other states were
not being interrupted.  This should fix several PRs.

Signal handlers, which are invoked as a result of a process
signal (not by pthread_kill()), are now called with the
code (or siginfo_t if SA_SIGINFO was set in sa_flags) and
sigcontext_t as received from the process signal handler.

Modify the search for a thread to which a signal is delivered.
The search algorithm is now:

  o First thread found in sigwait() with signal in wait mask.
  o First thread found sigsuspend()'d on the signal.
  o Current thread if signal is unmasked.
  o First thread found with signal unmasked.

Collapse machine dependent support into macros defined in
pthread_private.h.  These should probably eventually be moved
into separate MD files.

Change the range of settable priorities to be compliant with
POSIX (0-31).  The threads library uses higher priorities
internally for real-time threads (not yet implemented) and
threads executing signal handlers.  Real-time threads and
threads running signal handlers add 64 and 32, respectively,
to a threads base priority.

Some other small changes and cleanups.

8d107d1210 If multiple threads are blocked in sigwait() for the same signal that does
not have a user-supplied signal handler, when a signal is delivered, one
thread will receive the signal, and then the code reverts to having no
signal handler for the signal.  This can leave the other sigwait()ing
threads stranded permanently if the signal is later ignored, or can result
in process termination when the process should have delivered the signal to
one of the threads in sigwait().

To fix this problem, maintain a count of sigwait()ers for each signal that
has no default signal handler.  Use the count to correctly install/uninstall
dummy signal handlers.

a thread blocked on read() will not requeue the thread for the read, but
will return -1 with errno = EINTR.  If the suspended thread is in a critical
region, the thread is suspended as soon as it leaves the critical region.

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.

stacks and make sure that the thread stacks won't grow into these gaps,

mmap().  This (if I understand correctly) reduces VM overhead

4fc937ef8f Change signal handling to conform to POSIX specified semantics.
Before this change, a signal was delivered to each thread that
didn't have the signal masked.  Signals also improperly woke up
threads waiting on I/O.  With this change, signals are now
handled in the following way:

  o If a thread is waiting in a sigwait for the signal,
    then the thread is woken up.

  o If no threads are sigwait'ing on the signal and a
    thread is in a sigsuspend waiting for the signal,
    then the thread is woken up.

  o In the case that no threads are waiting or suspended
    on the signal, then the signal is delivered to the
    first thread we find that has the signal unmasked.

  o If no threads are waiting or suspended on the signal,
    and no threads have the signal unmasked, then the signal
    is added to the process wide pending signal set.  The
    signal will be delivered to the first thread that unmasks
    the signal.

If there is an installed signal handler, it is only invoked
if the chosen thread was not in a sigwait.

In the case that multiple threads are waiting or suspended
on a signal, or multiple threads have the signal unmasked,
we wake up/deliver the signal to the first thread we find.
The above rules still apply.

3cf3c5d9dd sigset_t change (part 5 of 5)
-----------------------------

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.

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.
