locking functions. If an application loads a shared object with dlopen() and the shared object has an init function which requires lazy binding, then _rtld_bind is called when the thread is already inside the dynamic linker. This leads to a recursive acquisition of the lock, which I was not expecting -- hence the assert failure. This work-around makes the default locking functions handle recursive locking. It is NOT the correct fix -- that should be implemented at the generic locking level rather than in the default locking functions. I will implement the correct fix in a future commit. Since the dllockinit() interface will likely need to change, warn about that in both the man page and the header file.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Bf Sy
|
|
This interface is subject to change and should not be used yet.
|
|
.Ef
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Threads packages can call
|
|
.Nm
|
|
at initialization time to register locking functions for the dynamic
|
|
linker to use. This enables the dynamic linker to prevent multiple
|
|
threads from entering its critical sections simultaneously.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa context
|
|
parameter specifies an opaque context for creating locks. The
|
|
dynamic linker will pass it to the
|
|
.Fa lock_create
|
|
function when creating the locks it needs. When the dynamic linker
|
|
is permanently finished using the locking functions (e.g., if the
|
|
program makes a subsequent call to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to register new locking functions) it will call
|
|
.Fa context_destroy
|
|
to destroy the context.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa lock_create
|
|
parameter specifies a function for creating a read/write lock. It
|
|
must return a pointer to the new lock.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa rlock_acquire
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa wlock_acquire
|
|
parameters specify functions which lock a lock for reading or
|
|
writing, respectively. The
|
|
.Fa lock_release
|
|
parameter specifies a function which unlocks a lock. Each of these
|
|
functions is passed a pointer to the lock.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa lock_destroy
|
|
parameter specifies a function to destroy a lock. It may be
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if locks do not need to be destroyed. The
|
|
.Fa context_destroy
|
|
specifies a function to destroy the context. It may be
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
if the context does not need to be destroyed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Before
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is called, the dynamic linker protects its critical sections by
|
|
blocking the
|
|
.Dv SIGVTALRM ,
|
|
.Dv SIGPROF ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv SIGALRM
|
|
signals. This is sufficient for many application level threads
|
|
packages, which typically use one of these signals to implement
|
|
preemption. An application which has registered its own locking
|
|
methods with
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can restore the default locking by calling
|
|
.Nm
|
|
with all arguments
|
|
.Dv NULL .

The

function first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0.
