call them. All the execX() libc functions should be vfork() safe now.
Specifically:
- execlp() does the argument count-and-build into a vector from alloca
(like the others) - buildargv() is no longer used (and gone).
- execvp() uses alloca/strcpy rather than strdup().
- the ENOEXEC handler uses alloca rather than malloc.
- a couple of free() calls removed - alloca works on the local stack and
the allocations are freed on function exit (which is why buildargv
wasn't useful - it's alloca() context would disappear on return).
Along the way:
- If alloca() fails (can it?), set errno = ENOMEM explicitly.
- The ENOEXEC recovery routine that trys again with /bin/sh appeared to
not be terminating the new argv[] array for /bin/sh, allowing it to
walk off the end of the list.
I dithered a bit about using alloca() even more as it's most commonly
associated with gcc. However, standalone portable (using malloc) and
machine-specific assembler alloca implementations appear to be available
on just about all the architectures we're likely to want to port to.
alloca will be the least of our problems if ever going to another compiler.

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.

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.
ifdefs are too ugly for this to be much of a simplification. The
existence tests are even uglier now. Note that the previous commit

|I ran into a problem pulling out the VM_STACK option. I was aware of this
|when I first did the work, but then forgot about it. The VM_STACK stuff
|has some code changes in the i386 branch. There need to be corresponding
|changes in the alpha branch before it can come out completely.
what is done:
|
|1) Pull the VM_STACK option out of the header files it appears in. This
|really shouldn't affect anything that executes with or without the rest
|of the VM_STACK patches. The vm_map_entry will then always have one
|extra element (avail_ssize). It just won't be used if the VM_STACK
|option is not turned on.
|
|I've also pulled the option out of vm_map.c. This shouldn't harm anything,
|since the routines that are enabled as a result are not called unless
|the VM_STACK option is enabled elsewhere.
|
|2) Add what appears to be appropriate code the the alpha branch, still
|protected behind the VM_STACK switch. I don't have an alpha machine,
|so we would need to get some testers with alpha machines to try it out.
|
|Once there is some testing, we can consider making the change permanent
|for both i386 and alpha.

Note: $2$ is used by OpenBSD's Blowfish, which I considered adding

somebody wishing to add OpenBSD password support could easilly add
it in now.
There is also a malloc_crypt() available in the library now, which
behaves exactly the same as crypt(), but it uses a malloced buffer
instead of a static buffer. However, this is not standard so will
likely not be used much (at all).
Also, for those interested I did a brief speed test Pentium 166/MMX,
which shows the DES crypt to do approximately 2640 crypts a CPU second,
MD5 to do about 62 crypts a CPU second and SHA1 to do about 18 crypts

the Linux-PAM modules are present in the contrib tree, we don't

The main library "libpam" is composed of sources taken from three
places. First are the standard Linux-PAM libpam sources from the
contrib tree. Second are the Linux-PAM "libpam_misc" sources, also
from the contrib tree. In Linux these form a separate library.
But as Mike Smith pointed out to me, that seems pointless, so I
have combined them into the libpam library. Third are some additional
sources from the "src/lib/libpam" tree with some common functions
that make it easier to write modules. Those I wrote myself.
