fbc400a67a Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

5b26e84968 Disable the "Hint" option in phkmalloc as default. Recent VM system
changes have made this too expensive.  This gains about 1.25% on
worldstone on my SMP machine.

Swap-less machines, for instance PicoBSDs, and machines which experience
page-out trafic, check with top(1), will probably want to reenable this
with:
	ln -s H /etc/malloc.conf

a0aa389007 Delete the XXX comments that refer to spinlock recursion. The malloc/free/
realloc functions check for recursion within the malloc code itself. In
a thread-safe library, the single spinlock ensures that no two threads
go inside the protected code at the same time. The thread implementation
is responsible for ensuring that the spinlock does in fact protect malloc.
There was a window of opportunity in which this was not the case. I'll fix
that with a commit RSN.

d988805a1f Back out part of previous commit (even though it's technically correct).
Our spinlock implementation allows a particular thread to obtain a lock
multiple times, but release the lock with a single unlock call.  Since
we're detecting recursion, we know the lock is already owned by the
current thread in a previous call and must not be released in the
current call.  This is really far too dependent on this particular
spinlock implementation, so I've added commented out calls to
THREAD_UNLOCK in the appropriate places.  We can activate this code when
spinlock is taught to count each lock operation.

e8420087b0 Replace memory leaking instances of realloc with non-leaking reallocf.
In some cases replace if (a == null) a = malloc(x); else a =
realloc(a, x); with simple reallocf(a, x).  Per ANSI-C, this is
guaranteed to be the same thing.

I've been running these on my system here w/o ill effects for some
time.  However, the CTM-express is at part 6 of 34 for the CAM
changes, so I've not been able to do a build world with the CAM in the
tree with these changes.  Shouldn't impact anything, but...

94ad719cf4 Add reallocf to the library. This function is simliar to realloc, but
when it returns NULL to indicate failure, it will also free the memory
that was passed to it, if that was non-null.

This does not change the semantics of realloc.

A second commit will be done to commit the conversion of those places in
the code that can safely use this to avoid memory leaks when confronted
with low memory situations.

184fcab826 This is a hack to workaround source that is coded to use long variables
but also assumes that they are 32-bits. This is one place where I don't
think it is appropriate to change 'long' to 'int'. I don't see why the
code couldn't be fixed so that using natural long variables does the
right thing. It's spaggetti code so it'll take some effort. Obviously
NetBSD thought so too because they change 'long' to 'int32_t' etc
and left it at that. As a temporary measure FreeBSD/Alpha can use the
NetBSD code and put this on the list of things to fix.

f901bc2795 Add a global variable called __isthreaded that can be tested throughout
libc to determine if locking is required. This is needed in libc
for use with kernel threads, but until a thread is created, we don't
really want to bother locking things. The variable was added here
because the crt code calls exit(main()) so all programs will get the
variable.

For now, the only thing to do is to block signals. When we move user
pthreads to use the kernel threads, mutexes will be implemented in kernel
space and then malloc can revert.

a461908da4 Handle machine-dependent (stdlib) sources more automatically.
This fixes bugs in the manual handling.  abs.[cS] was handled too
specially and the wrong (.c) variant for each of div.[cS], labs.[cS]
and ldiv.[cS] was added to SRCS.  This caused the .c variant to be
used if `depend' was made and the .S version to be used otherwise.
