-----------------------------
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.

to fork. It is difficult to do real vfork in libc_r, since almost every
operation with file descriptsor changes _thread_fd_table and friends.
popen(3) works much better with this change.
default syscall asm, so add it to NOASM. The other syscalls that manipulate
kernel threads use the default asm code, so they just get built
automatically.
List non-default asm sources in MDASM so that they replace the defaults.
For funny or incomplete syscalls, list them in NOASM to stop them
from getting built as defaults.
This fixes bugs in the manual handling. abs.[cS] was handled too
specially and the wrong (.c) variant for each of div.[cS], labs.[cS]
and ldiv.[cS] was added to SRCS. This caused the .c variant to be
used if `depend' was made and the .S version to be used otherwise.
The names of m-d variants are now added (manually) to MDSRCS instead
of to SRCS, and the names of all machine-independent (m-i) variants
that can reasonably be replaced by an m-d variant are now added
(manually) to MISRCS instead of to SRCS, so that a simple substitution
can be used to discard the unused m-i variants. MISRCS is potentially
all m-i sources, but the substitution is too simple to be fast, so
MISRCS should be kept reasonably small.
libc/Makefile.inc:
Do the substitution.
libc/i386/string/Makefile.inc:
Add to MDSRCS instead of to SRCS. Add the names of all sources in this
directory, but no others.
libc/string/Makefile.inc
Add to MISRCS instead of to SRCS. Add the names of all sources in this
directory. Don't use (broken) explicit rules for special cases.
so that all these makefiles can be used to build libc_r too.
Added .if ${LIB} == "c" tests to restrict man page builds to libc
to avoid needlessly building them with libc_r too.
Split libc Makefile into Makefile and Makefile.inc to allow the
libc_r Makefile to include Makefile.inc too.
the (buggy) support for alternative entry points. ALTENTRY() was only
used for memmove(). Optimizing for space was particularly silly because
memcpy() is rarely used (gcc normally inlines it).

- use a slightly less bogus copyright. This file was never contributed
to Berkeley. It still claims to be copright by the Regents.
- use <machine/asm.h> instead of "DEFS.h".
- use RCSID($Id$) instead of explicit assembly code and messy ifdefs.
The rcsid won't be put into the object file until we make RCSID()
non-null. NetBSD uses a LIBC_SCCS ifdef here. We used a LIBC_RCS
instead, but I want RCSID() to be controlled directly by LIBC_RCS
(actually by LIB_RCS). This is the only difference with the NetBSD
version.
- added ifdefs to support generation of memcpy() and memmove(). The
other changes are "while I'm here" to get this.
- improved style of the copy backwards case.
doesn't need to be included in files that have nothing to do with
syscalls.
Added missing `.text' to START_ENTRY so that ENTRY() works when
invoked in the data section.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).
I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.
The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.
also:
Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.
also:
I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type
make -DWANT_LIBC_R world
to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r.
also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.
aren't silently converted to minbrk. This stops malloc(INT_MAX) from
dumping core. Small values are still silently converted. They should
be an error. sbrk() doesn't do any range checking or conversions or
overflow checking.
Moved PIC_EPILOGUE invocation to a more natural place where it
obviously doesn't interfere with the comparison.
In a nutshell, this macroizes the local/global symbol scoping rules
that are different in a.out and ELF. It also makes the i386 assembler
stubs conform to i386 PIC calling conventions - the a.out ld.so didn't
object, but the ELF one needs it as it implements PIC jumps via PLT's as
well as calls. The a.out rtld only worked because it was accidently
snooping the grandparent calling function's return address off the stack..
This also affects the libc_r code a little, because of cpp macro nesting.
