for the process, not a separate set for each thread). By default, the
process now only has signal handlers installed for SIGVTALRM, SIGINFO
and SIGCHLD. The thread kernel signal handler is installed for other
signals on demand. This means that SIG_IGN and SIG_DFL processing is now
left to the kernel, not the thread kernel.
Change the signal dispatch to no longer use a signal thread, and
call the signal handler using the stack of the thread that has the
signal pending.
Change the atomic lock method to use test-and-set asm code with
a yield if blocked. This introduces separate locks for each type
of object instead of blocking signals to prevent a context
switch. It was this blocking of signals that caused the performance
degradation the people have noted.
This is a *big* change!
Note odd `sigmask()' line in synopsis. `sigsetops(3)' is better suited
for `sigprocmask' and is already referenced from the manual page.
(`sigmask()' is useful for the older (& deprecated) `sigsetmask()' API).

it was. Add a FILE_WAIT state and queue threads waiting for a FILE

pthreads did it.
Add a thread name to the private thread structure and a non-POSIX
function to set this. This helps (me at least) when sending a SIGINFO
to a threaded process to get a /tmp/uthread.dump to see what the
<expletive deleted> threads are doing this time. It is nice to be
able to recognise (yes, I spell that with an 's' too) which threads
are which.
Change the FILE locking to support kernel threads when linked with
libpthread (which you haven't see yet). This requires that libc become
thread-safe and thread-aware, testing __isthreaded before attempting
to do lock/unlock calls. The impact on non-threaded programs is minor.
This change works with libc_r, so it's the best compromise.

for use with kernel threads, but until a thread is created, we don't
really want to bother locking things. The variable was added here
because the crt code calls exit(main()) so all programs will get the
variable.
threads from invalid ones. The pthread structure is opaque to the user
so this change does not cause any incompatibilities.
Hopefully this change will help code that was written for draft 4
fail gracefully if the programmer ignores the compiler warning about
the change in the level of indirection for the argument passed to
pthread_detach(). I got burnt, so I fixed then (expletive deleted)
thing.
These functions comply with the revised standard. That should shut
Terry up!
Add a note about not touching errno and warn about previous drafts
of the standard which changed the level of indirection to the thread
argument. POSIX had a bit of trouble deciding what to do. So anyone
coding to both draft 4 and draft 10 (the final draft) will get burnt
by this function. I did. Grrr.
_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options to work. Changes:
Change all "posix4" to "p1003_1b". Misnamed files are left
as "posix4" until I'm told if I can simply delete them and add
new ones;
Add _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls for FreeBSD and Linux;
Add man pages for _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls;
Add options to LINT;
Minor fixes to P1003_1B code during testing.
Commented out docmentation of nonexistent authenticate() and
auth_timesok(). authenticate() seems to be obsolete and
auth_timesok() never existed in FreeBSD.
__msync13. The old one got moved to compat_12. Wrap __msync13 up

because `struct speedtab' and its lookup function are too bogus

Add a bootstrap mode so that non-rtld versions of these objects can
be built when bootstrapping the system with NetBSD tools, headers
and libraries. Once the FreeBSD tools are built, the FreeBSD headers
are installed and *then* these objects can be recompiled with the
rtld references. Phew.
asm code didn't link the way it was supposed to and the calling convention
for the entry "function" turned out to be very different. On alpha
it's a true function, but on i386 it's a fudge. Blech.
So jdp suggested keeping separate sets of source and avoiding lots
of #ifdefs. These files are based on his i386-elf code, with crt1.c
borrowing code from NetBSD's crt0. The copyright reflects that.
Complicating matters, the code turned out to be difficult to bootstrap
build using NetBSD tools. To compile against the FreeBSD rtld header
requires FreeBSD specific headers, but these can't be installed until
the tools are built, and they can't be built without the FreeBSD crt
objects. Anal retentive. So I introduced a HAVE_RTLD #define that isn't
set during the build process until all the tools are built and the
headers installed.
now that has been committed.
The makefile is derived from the i386-elf version, modified to pick
up most of the source (except crt1.c) from i386-elf. With minor changes
to i386-elf/crt1.c, this directory can be combined with i386-elf to
be a single csu/elf directory for all seasons.
the rtld code pending implementation on the alpha.
The csu/i386-elf should be renamed as csu/elf and this directory
trashed. Consider this a temporary implementation.
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.
Include the architecture specific sys makefile like previously, but
what this contains differs. It defines MDASM which list architecture
specific asm code that *replaces* syscalls of the same name defined
in MIASM (which gets defined by the syscall.mk or netbsd_syscall.mk
dependent of NETBSD_SYSCALLS being defined). If a syscall has a
C source implementation or something funny done to it, or just doesn't
need default asm source generated for it, then it is listed in NOASM.
syscall.mk is generated by makesyscalls.sh with other syscall files.
netbsd_syscall.mk is a hand-generated equivalent. So if a new syscall
is added and no other makefiles are edited, it will automatically have
the default asm source generated for it (whether you want it or not).
Anything listed in MDASM gets added to SRCS and gets built. For
each syscall name in MIASM, if it doesn't exist in MDASM or NOASM,
it gets added to the ASM or ASMR lists to have code generated for it.
If the syscall name was listed in HIDDEN_SYSCALLS (intended for use
by libc_r, not libc which has it defined, but empty), then the name
is added to the ASMR list and gets renamed before being built;
otherwise it is added to the ASM list and gets built with the same
name.
I wonder if this is too complicated. But it works on both i386 and alpha.
substitution errors for variables that don't exist.
If a machine architecture dependent makefile exists, include it
to discover if libc or libc_r is being built with NetBSD syscalls
instead of FreeBSD ones.
Put a NO_QUAD thingy around the quad makefile so that 64-bit
architectures can ignore that sh*t.
In the test for MDSRCS being empty, add all MISRCS to SRCS, rather
than just ignoring them.
Define the HIDDEN_SYSCALLS macro as empty because libc doesn't have
renamed syscalls. This avoids an undefined macro error when
libc/sys/Makefile.inc goes to look though it. HIDDEN_SYSCALLS is
used by the equivalent makefile to this one in lib/libc_r to list
those syscalls that it needs to rename so that libc_r can provide
replacement functions.
Change MACHINE references to MACHINE_ARCH.
Declare the names of the syscalls that need to be renamed to allow
for the functions that libc_r provides replacements for. This list
used to be in lib/libc/sys/Makefile.inc, but has been moved here
to keep that makefile tidy and remove the temptation for people to
add things to the list without adding a libc_r replacement function.
prototypes for the spinlock functions that will be used for thread locks.
libc will have stubs declared with weak symbols. libpthread and libc_r
will have functions that really do something.
Changed MACHINE to MACHINE_ARCH with the expectation that pc98 will
use elf the same as i386.
Nuked tahoe and vax 'cause the files they reference aren't in the

Changes to support building with _POSIX_SOURCE set to 199309L:
1. Add sys/_posix.h to handle those preprocessor defs that POSIX
says have effects when defined before including any header files;
2. Change POSIX4_VISIBLE back to _POSIX4_VISIBLE
3. Add _POSIX4_VISIBLE_HISTORICALLY for pre-existing BSD features now
defined in POSIX. These show up when:
_POSIX_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE are not set or
_POSIX_C_SOURCE is set >= 199309L
and vanish when:
_POSIX_SOURCE is set or _POSIX_C_SOURCE is < 199309L.
4. Explain these in man 9 posix4;
5. Include _posix.h and conditionalize on new feature test.
