atexit and __cxa_atexit handlers that are either installed by unloaded
dso, or points to the functions provided by the dso.
Use _rtld_addr_phdr to locate segment information from the address of
private variable belonging to the dso, supplied by crtstuff.c. Provide
utility function __elf_phdr_match_addr to do the match of address against
dso executable segment.
Call back into libthr from __cxa_finalize using weak
__pthread_cxa_finalize symbol to remove any atfork handler which
function points into unloaded object.
The rtld needs private __pthread_cxa_finalize symbol to not require
resolution of the weak undefined symbol at initialization time. This
cannot work, since rtld is relocated before sym_zero is set up.

now type sema_t is a structure which can be put in a shared memory area,
and multiple processes can operate it concurrently.
User can either use mmap(MAP_SHARED) + sem_init(pshared=1) or use sem_open()
to initialize a shared semaphore.
Named semaphore uses file system and is located in /tmp directory, and its
file name is prefixed with 'SEMD', so now it is chroot or jail friendly.
In simplist cases, both for named and un-named semaphore, userland code
does not have to enter kernel to reduce/increase semaphore's count.
The semaphore is designed to be crash-safe, it means even if an application
is crashed in the middle of operating semaphore, the semaphore state is
still safely recovered by later use, there is no waiter counter maintained
by userland code.
The main semaphore code is in libc and libthr only has some necessary stubs,
this makes it possible that a non-threaded application can use semaphore
without linking to thread library.
Old semaphore implementation is kept libc to maintain binary compatibility.
The kernel ksem API is no longer used in the new implemenation.

with the additional property that it is safe for routines in libc to use
in both single-threaded and multi-threaded processes. Multi-threaded
processes use the pthread_once() implementation from the threading library
while single-threaded processes use a simplified "stub" version internal
to libc. The libc stub-version of pthread_once() now also uses the
simplified "stub" version as well instead of being a nop.

This caching allows for completely lock-free allocation/deallocation in the
steady state, at the expense of likely increased memory use and
fragmentation.
Reduce the default number of arenas to 2*ncpus, since thread-specific
caching typically reduces arena contention.
Modify size class spacing to include ranges of 2^n-spaced, quantum-spaced,
cacheline-spaced, and subpage-spaced size classes. The advantages are:
fewer size classes, reduced false cacheline sharing, and reduced internal
fragmentation for allocations that are slightly over 512, 1024, etc.
Increase RUN_MAX_SMALL, in order to limit fragmentation for the
subpage-spaced size classes.
Add a size-->bin lookup table for small sizes to simplify translating sizes
to size classes. Include a hard-coded constant table that is used unless
custom size class spacing is specified at run time.
Add the ability to disable tiny size classes at compile time via
MALLOC_TINY.
Adding exevpe() has caused some ports to break. Even though execvpe() is
a useful routine, it does not conform to any standards.
This patch is a little bit different from the patch sent to the mailing
list. I forgot to remove execvpe from the Symbol.map (which does not
seem to miscompile libc, though).

call the pad-less versions of the corresponding syscalls if the running
kernel supports it. Check kern.osreldate once per program and cache the
result to select the appropriate syscall. This maintains userland

* Move calloc() from calloc.c to malloc.c. Add a calloc() implementation in
rtld-elf in order to make the loader happy (even though calloc() isn't
used in rtld-elf).
* Add _malloc_prefork() and _malloc_postfork(), and use them instead of
directly manipulating __malloc_lock.

it around an application's fork() call. Our new thread libraries
(libthr, libpthread) can now have threads running while another
thread calls fork(). In this case, it is possible for malloc
to be left in an inconsistent state in the child. Our thread
libraries, libpthread in particular, need to use malloc internally
after a fork (in the child).

auto-generate the stubs. A conforming threads library can override
the stub routines by filling in the jump table.
Add some entries to namespace.h and sync un-namespace.h to it.
Also add a comment to remind folks to update un-namespace.h
when changing namespace.h.
Also, make an internal _getprogname() that is used only inside
libc. For libc, getprogname(3) is a weak symbol in case a
function of the same name is defined in userland.

pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.
Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
