pages use the term "null-terminated string" (which is permissable). Moreover,
this also makes these two manpages more consistent with the other string/*.3
manpages.

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.
functions to be used by the dynamic linker. This can be called by
threads packages at start-up time. I will add the call to libc_r
soon.
Also add a default locking method that is used up until dllockinit()
is called. The default method works by blocking SIGVTALRM, SIGPROF,
and SIGALRM in critical sections. It is based on the observation
that most user-space threads packages implement thread preemption
with one of these signals (usually SIGVTALRM).
The dynamic linker has never been reentrant, but it became less
reentrant in revision 1.34 of "src/libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c".
Starting with that revision, multiple threads each doing lazy
binding could interfere with each other. The usual symptom was
that a symbol was falsely reported as undefined at start-up time.
It was rare but not unseen. This commit fixes it.
Doing the "right thing" here is difficult, so create two ENTRY points for
each function (for example, __setjmp and setjmp are equivalent). This
isn't pretty, but it works for both aout and ELF.
libc symbol naming needs an overhaul in order to properly support function
wrapping, specifically in the case of a real libpthread, and these
duplicate entry points should be fixed as part of that overhaul.

interface botches to psignal(3) which takes a bogus unsigned arg but is
prototyped in the right place.
This is not the last of the interface problems for strsignal(). We
obtained it from NetBSD, but NetBSD has moved its prototype to
<unistd.h>. strsignal() should return const char *, but it returns
char * for historical reasons. NetBSD declares it as returning
__aconst char, where __aconst is normally empty but can be set to
`const' to give better error checking. glibc-2.1.1 prototypes
strsignal() in <string.h>.

This supports cancellation in the linuxthreads port. In the long run,
a much more comprehensive solution will necessitate more dramatic changes
to libc symbol naming, and these aliases will probably need modification
at that time.
MAN8+= rstat_svc.8
The file it talks about doesn't exist on FreeBSD, so there's no point in
installing the manual page. There was already a comment to this effect in
this file, but the entry hadn't been commented out.
rstat.1 and rstat_svc.8 can probably actually be removed.

This feature prevents the update daemon from gratuitously flushing
dirty pages associated with a mapped file-backed region of memory. The
system pager will still page the memory as necessary and the VM system
will still be fully coherent with the filesystem. Modifications made
by other means to the same area of memory, for example by write(), are
unaffected. The feature works on a page-granularity basis.
MAP_NOSYNC allows one to use mmap() to share memory between processes
without incuring any significant filesystem overhead, putting it in
the same performance category as SysV Shared memory and anonymous memory.

is good for... :-)), I discovered that part of the change when mkstemps()
was brought in was missed - it was missing the termination case to make
sure it doesn't walk into the suffix. This isn't the same code OpenBSD
has, I think this is a little better as we terminate the loop in a better
spot.
