under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.
Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha
variables. Both symbols are set to the same value by the linker,
and _end symbol has less chances to clash with application defined
global symbols.
alpha, ia64 and sparc64 ports already use _end, i386 is now
consistent with them.

o Prepend underscores to the ntohl() family to help deal with
complexities associated with having MD (asm and inline) versions, and
having to prevent exposure of these functions in other headers that
happen to make use of endian-specific defines.
o Create weak aliases to the canonical function name to help deal with
third-party software forgetting to include an appropriate header.
o Remove some now unneeded pollution from <sys/types.h>.
o Add missing <arpa/inet.h> includes in userland.

- Renumber labels since the previous revision removed one.
- Remove useless and wrong comment.
- Repeating the function name is just redundant.
- The previous revision made the comment about %edx useless.
- The comment about %eax was wrong (but did explain why %eax used to be

and treating (almost) all system calls the same way:
__sys_foo - actual syscall
foo, _foo - weak definitions to __sys_foo
Change PSEUDO syscalls (currently only _exit and _getlogin) to

adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
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

the number of times I have given this to people and got asked: why isn't
it in libc? It is impossible to do this without assembler glue to reset
the stack for the new child process.
int rfork_thread(flags, stack_addr, start_fnc, start_arg)
int flags; Flags to rfork system call. See rfork(2).
void *stack_addr; Top of stack for thread.
int (*start_fnc)(void *); Address of thread function to call in child.
void *start_arg; Argument to pass to the thread function in child.
This is deliberately not documented or prototyped in includes until the
corresponding alpha version is written.
For libc_r renamed syscalls, correct symbol naming from
_thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() to _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo(). This
is necessary for system calls which libc_r doesn't define foo().
Some weak symbols such as poll() are defined twice. From what I understand,
depending on one weak symbol or the other to be used is a bad idea. All
such weak symbols defined in the libc_r-specific code should therefore be
made strong (non-weak?).
Simplify PSEUDO() to not define any weak symbols, since they aren't ever
needed.
alpha/SYS.h:
Correct reversed usage of WEAK_ALIAS(), which has reversed arguments from
__weak_reference(). Also, fix reversal of symbols, so that syscall foo()
is a weak alias for _foo().
Add WEAK_ALIAS() call to PRSYSCALL(), which unlike the i386 version of
PRSYSCALL(), is not defined in terms of PSYSCALL().
Make PSEUDO() equivalent to the i386 version.
just use _foo() <-- foo(). In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do
call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this
is adequate. In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are
now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().
Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(),
nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo().
Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(),
tcdrain(), wait(), and waitpid().
Make thread cancellation fully POSIX-compliant.

points. For library functions, the pattern is __sleep() <--
_libc_sleep() <-- sleep(). The arrows represent weak aliases. For
system calls, the pattern is _read() <-- _libc_read() <-- read().
Doing the "right thing" here is difficult, so create two ENTRY points for
each function (for example, __setjmp and setjmp are equivalent). This
isn't pretty, but it works for both aout and ELF.
libc symbol naming needs an overhaul in order to properly support function
wrapping, specifically in the case of a real libpthread, and these
duplicate entry points should be fixed as part of that overhaul.

__setjmp, __longjmp, __sigsetjmp, and __siglongjmp, respectively.
This supports cancellation in the linuxthreads port. In the long run,
a much more comprehensive solution will necessitate more dramatic changes
to libc symbol naming, and these aliases will probably need modification
at that time.
setjmp() gets the jmp_buf pointer from the wrong place (the place
where the return address is) in the shlib case, and uses it (only)
to fetch the current signal mask to address (return_address + 28).
This address is normally read-only (I hope), so the sigprocmask()
call has no effect except to return an error code.

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