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
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.
Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.
Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.

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().
uses readtcp() to gather data from the network; readtcp() uses select(),
with a timeout of 35 seconds. The problem with this is that if you
connect to a TCP server, send two bytes of data, then just pause, the
server will remain blocked in readtcp() for up to 35 seconds, which is
sort of a long time. If you keep doing this every 35 seconds, you can
keep the server occupied indefinitely.
To fix this, I modified readtcp() (and its cousin, readunix() in svc_unix.c)
to monitor all service transport handles instead of just the current socket.
This allows the server to keep handling new connections that arrive while
readtcp() is running. This prevents one client from potentially monopolizing
a server.
Also, while I was here, I fixed a bug in the timeout calculations. Someone
attempted to adjust the timeout so that if select() returned EINTR and the
loop was restarted, the timeout would be reduced so that rather than waiting
for another 35 seconds, you could never wait for more than 35 seconds total.
Unfortunately, the calculation was wrong, and the timeout could expire much
sooner than 35 seconds.
recently in BUGTRAQ. If a stream oriented transport fails to properly decode
an RPC message header structure where there should be one, it should mark
the stream as dead so that the connection will be dropped.
Note: you'll need to rinstalkl all your includes before compiling libc
the next time you update your sources in order for all this to work.
