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.
1003.1c-1995.
Undefine _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS, since we do not implement all of the
necessary interfaces. At least getgrgid_r(), getrnam_r(), getpwuid_r(),
getpwnam_r(), getc_unlocked(), getchar_unlocked(), putc_unlocked(),
and putchar_unlocked() are missing. Due to a likely typo in 1003.1c-1995,
we are not technically allowed to define _POSIX_THREADS without defining
_POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS, but either way we're non-compliant, so I'm
leaving _POSIX_THREADS defined.

-----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The
change cause sys/types to be included along the way which
contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider
this a solution, but more a workaround.
