Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
We have an nitems() macro in the <sys/param.h> header that is
convenient to re-use as it makes things easier to read.
Given that it is available already without adding additional
headers and other parts of libc already use it, extend a bit
more its use.
This change avoids undesirably passing some internal file descriptors to a
process created (fork+exec) by another thread.
Kernel support for SOCK_CLOEXEC was added in r248534, March 19, 2013.
Since, res_sendsigned(3) and the friends use MD5 functions, it is
hard to include them without having MD5 functions in libc. So,
res_sendsigned(3) is not merged into libc.
Since, res_update(3) in BIND9 is not binary compatible with our
res_update(3), res_update(3) is leaved as is, except some
necessary modifications.
The res_update(3) and the friends are not essential part of the
resolver. They are not defined in resolv.h but defined in
res_update.h separately in BIND9. Further, they are not called from
our tree. So, I hide them from our resolv.h, but leave them only
for binary backward compatibility (perhaps, no one calls them).
Since, struct __res_state_ext is not exposed in BIND9, I hide it
from our resolv.h. And, global variable _res_ext is removed. It
breaks binary backward compatibility. But, since it is not used from
outside of our libc, I think it is safe.

define also, but res_config.h was not included into libc/net/name6.c.
So getipnodebyaddr() ignored the multiple PTRs.

Fix the matchlen() function so that it handles the IPv4 (AF_INET)
case correctly. Until now it has been treating IPv4 addresses
as if they were IPv6 which could lead to corruption errors.

getipnodebyname(3) to correctly return h_errno=TRY_AGAIN instead
of HOST_NOT_FOUND.

The getaddrinfo(3), getipnodebyname(3) and resolver(3) can coincide now
with what should be totally reentrant, and h_errno values will now
be preserved correctly, but this does not affect interfaces such as
gethostbyname(3) which are still mostly non-reentrant.
In all of these relevant functions, the thread-safety has been pushed
down as far as it seems possible right now. This means that operations
that are selected via nsdispatch(3) (i.e. files, yp, dns) are protected
still under global locks that getaddrinfo(3) defines, but where possible
the locking is greatly reduced. The most noticeable improvement is
that multiple DNS lookups can now be run at the same time, and this
shows major improvement in performance of DNS-lookup threaded programs,
and solves the "Mozilla tab serialization" problem.
No single-threaded applications need to be recompiled. Multi-threaded
applications that reference "_res" to change resolver(3) options will
need to be recompiled, and ones which reference "h_errno" will also
if they desire the correct h_errno values. If the applications already
understood that _res and h_errno were not thread-safe and had their own
locking, they will see no performance improvement but will not
actually break in any way.
Please note that when NSS modules are used, or when nsdispatch(3)
defaults to adding any lookups of its own to the individual libc
_nsdispatch() calls, those MUST be reentrant as well.
Only warnings that could be fixed without changing the generated object
code and without restructuring the source code have been handled.

and getipnodeby*() thread-safe.
Our res_*() is not thread-safe. So, we share lock between
getaddrinfo() and getipnodeby*(). Still, we cannot use
getaddrinfo() and getipnodeby*() in conjunction with other
functions which call res_*().
