and dependent functions (eg getpwname(3)) get called. This can
improve performance of binaries that perform a lot of name
lookups, such as gssd(8). It also matches documented behaviour
of Linux and Solaris.
The old code is left in place, should anyone need it, guarded
by #ifdef NS_REREAD_CONF.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
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.
As hinted in the commit log message for r259042, this is unnecessary.
Moreover, as a result of that change we may invoke a DSO's atexit handler
after it has been unmapped.

reallocarray(3) is a non portable extension that originated in OpenBSD.
Given that it is already in FreeBSD's libc it is useful for the cases
where reallocation involves a multiplication.

NSS modules are loaded when nsswitch.conf is parsed and may register their
own atexit handlers with libc. nss_atexit() unloads any dynamically loaded
NSS modules, so it should run only after the modules' atexit handlers have
been invoked.

getgroupmembership() from invoking the correct backend in the compat case.
Replace it with a nesting depth counter so it only blocks one level (the
first is the group -> group_compat translation, the second is the actual
backend). This is one of two bugs that break getgrouplist() in the compat
case, the second being that the backend's own getgroupmembership() method
is ignored. Unfortunately, that is not easily fixable without a redesign
of our nss implementation (which is also needed to implement the +@group
syntax in /etc/passwd).

NSS configuration state.
As a side effect, this fixes a race condition which can occur if multiple
threads call nsdispatch(3) concurrently before nsswitch.conf has been
parsed. Previously, the thread holding conf_lock could cause other threads
to return from nss_configure() before nsswitch.conf had been parsed, forcing
them to fall back to the default sources for their NSS methods.

example, getgrouplist(3) will use module-supplied 'getgroupmembership'
function (which can work in an optimal way for such source as LDAP) and
will fall back to the stanard iterate-through-all-groups implementation
otherwise.

case where an /etc/nsswitch.conf file was present, but could not
be opened (e.g. due to permissions). Previously, the open failure
condition was suppressed, and the built-in defaults were used. In
revision 1.11, however, propagated the open failure causing all
nsdispatch() invocations to return NS_UNAVAIL, and thus many APIs
including getpwnam and gethostbyname unconditionally failed.
This commit restores the previous behavior.

library, it may pull in that thread library at run time. If the
process started out single-threaded, this could cause attempts to
release locks that do not exist. Guard against this possibility by
checking __isthreaded before invoking thread primitives.
A similar problem remains if the process is linked against one thread
library, but the NSS module is linked against another. This can only
be avoided by careful design of the NSS module.
