afb7dc43a9 Document the getdents(2) system call. The documentation was
added to the getdirentries(2) man page because 95%+ of that
man page comprised the text of the getdents(2) man page
I obtained from NetBSD.

38cf40702d Add a manual page for getdents(2). This was taken from NetBSD, but
still needs some cleanup which is why it hasn't been added to the
Makefile yet.

6a8e2895aa asprintf() does use realloc() internally, but saying so in the manpage can be
misinterpreted to mean that the pointer passed to asprintf() must be suitable
for passing to realloc() as-is (ie. either a NULL pointer or a valid pointer).

6b288cfa64 Backed out previous commit. devname.3 and devname.c were broken in Lite1
(devname() returned "??" when the lookup failed, but callers expected it
to return NULL).  This was fixed in Lite2, but until recently the changes
were only merged into devname.3.  A day or two after devname.c was fixed,
devname.3 was made inconsistent again by backing out most of the Lite2
changes.

fbc400a67a Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

34582929f1 Modify previous changes to conform better to libc_r's coding style.
Always use mmap() for default-size stack allocation.  Use MAP_ANON instead
of MAP_STACK on the alpha architecture.

Reduce the amount of code executed while owning _gc_mutex during stack
allocation.

ecaa6e8c9e Use growable stacks for thread stacks that are the default stack size.
Cache discarded default thread stacks for use in subsequent thread creations.

Create a red zone at the end of each stack (including the initial thread
stack), with the hope of causing a segfault if a stack overflows.

To activate these modifications, add -D_PTHREAD_GSTACK to CFLAGS in
src/lib/libc_r/Makefile.  Since the modifications depend on the VM_STACK
kernel option, I'm not sure how to safely use growable stacks by default.

Testing, as well as algorithmic and stylistic comments are welcome.
