vector. Now it is called the "symbol caching" vector. This was made
possible and unconfusing by other changes that allowed me to localize
everything having to do with the caching vector in the function
reloc_map().
Switched to alloca() for allocating the caching vector, and eliminated
the special mmap-based allocation routines. Although this was motivated
by performance reasons, it led to significant simplification of the
code, and made it possible to confine the symbol caching code to the
single function reloc_map().
Got rid of the unnecessary and inefficient division loop at the
beginning of rtld().
Reduced the number of calls to getenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH") to just 1, on
suggestion from <davidg@root.com>.
Added breaks out of the relocation loops when the relocation address is
found to be 0. A relocation address of 0 is caused by an unused
relocation entry. Unused relocation entries are caused by linking a
shared object with the "-Bsymbolic" switch. The runtime linker itself
is linked that way, and the last 40% of its relocation entries are
unused. Thus, breaking out of the loop on the first such entry is a
performance win when ld.so relocates itself. As a side benefit, it
permits removing a test from md_relocate_simple() in
../i386/md-static-funcs.c.
Unused relocation entries in other shared objects (linked with
"-Bsymbolic") caused even bigger problems in previous versions of the
runtime linker. The runtime linker interpreted the unused entries as if
they were valid. That caused it to perform repeated relocations of the
first byte of the shared object. In order to do that, it had to remap
the text segment writable. Breaking out of the loop on the first unused
relocation entry solves that.

them. Good greif! This was causing an unimaginable amount of brain-damage!
The mere fact that I griped about $ Log $ in a previous commit (misspelled
deliberately here) meant that the blasted thing was being expanded from the
middle of the log entry as well as the beginning, and using " * All these"
as the comment leader.. AARGH!!!! We *really* need to prevent these from
being expanded! (or remove the magic identifier from the source).
All those $Log$ entries, combined with the whitespace changes are a real
pain.

This is going to be pretty messy.... Although the vendor import was correct,
both the vendor and release tags are the same "gnu"... :-/
Getting cvs to choose the correct one might be rather interesting...
Note, this is going to be messy.. 2.3 was vendor-branch imported, while
2.6 was done as a delta. Sigh. I'm importing this on a vendor branch so
that it will be easier to deal with next time..
(cvs-1.6 wants rcs-5.7, and rcs-5.7 suggests diffutils-2.7)
Implemented symbol memorizing to reduce the number of calls to lookup(),
making relocation go faster. While relocating a given shared object,
the dynamic linker maintains a memorizing vector that is directly
indexed by the symbol number in the relocation entry. The first time a
given symbol is looked up, the memorizing vector is filled in with a
pointer to the symbol table entry, and a pointer to the so_map of the
shared object in which the symbol was defined. On subsequent uses of
the same symbol, that information is retrieved directly from the
memorizing vector, without calling lookup() again.
A symbol that is referenced in a relocation entry is typically
referenced in many relocation entries, so this memorizing reduces the
number of calls to lookup() dramatically. The overall improvement in
the speed of dynamic linking is also dramatic -- as much as a factor of
three for programs that use many shared libaries.

The maninstall target is supposed to be private to bsd.man.mk so
bsd.man.mk doesn't bother testing if it is already defined. The

I intended to fix only the private maninstall rule but found a lot of
other bogons and bugs:
- strong resistance to installing the program anywhere other than
${DESTDIR}/usr/bin (first, ../../Makefile.inc was not included.
../Makefile/inc was redundantly included instead. Second, /usr/bin
was hard coded).
- the owner, group and permissions were hard coded.
- the man page was installed twice.
- MANDEPEND wasn't necessary.
- calculations to determine the obj directory weren't necessary.
- there were unnecessary private rules for depend, rcsfreeze and tags.
We don't support the rcsfreeze target.
- there was an extra, bogus, rule for `all'.
The final version uses suffix rules to eliminate the remaining verboseness
involving directories (${.CURDIR}) and to potentially allow multiple
shell programs in one directory.

I hoped these changes would fix some of the large runtime macro processing

bugs. E.g., `man ms' now tells you to invoke groff with the flags `-ms'
instead of the bogus flags `-m'; `man groff now tells you that the default
device is `ps' instead of the bogus device `'.

It doesn't actually make cvs 'handle' it, it just stops it from dying

This was suggested by the CVS maintainers, and is in cvs-1.5.1-950901.
1: It stops invalid files being created in the cvs tree
2: It stops the import from aborting without mailing a commit message..
The first is simple, it opens the file for reading before touching the
repository, and the second catches the pieces when it hits an unreadable
file rather than just aborting mid-way through, leaving the repository in
a bit mess.

Don't output a file if the major, minor or totality of its rdev would be
truncated. Print a message about the skipped files to stderr but don't
report the error in the exit status. cpio's abysmal error handling doesn't
allow continuing after an error, and the rdev checks had to be misplaced
to avoid the problem of returning an error code from routines that return
void.
pax/pax.h:
Use the system macros for major(), minor() and makedev().
pax already checks _all_ output conversions for overflow. This has the
undesirable effect that failure to convert relatively useless fields
such as st_dev for regular files causes files not to be output. pax
doesn't report exactly which fields couldn't be converted.

Minor numbers are limited to 21 bits in pax's ustar format and to 18

This version of yppush has been modified in the following ways:
- Cleared up several Linux/BSD incompatibilities, largely involving
header files.
- converted from GDBM to DB with extreme predjudice. (well, not really...)
- removed lots of ugly debugging code that really didn't do anyone any good.
- Fixed a couple of inaccurate/badly formatted error messages.
- Renamed some functions to avoid collisions with certain YP routines
hidden inside libc.
- Small signal handling kludge: Linux has different struct sigaction
that us.
- Incorporated some functions from the yps-0.21 library that yppush was
dependent on.
