now type sema_t is a structure which can be put in a shared memory area,
and multiple processes can operate it concurrently.
User can either use mmap(MAP_SHARED) + sem_init(pshared=1) or use sem_open()
to initialize a shared semaphore.
Named semaphore uses file system and is located in /tmp directory, and its
file name is prefixed with 'SEMD', so now it is chroot or jail friendly.
In simplist cases, both for named and un-named semaphore, userland code
does not have to enter kernel to reduce/increase semaphore's count.
The semaphore is designed to be crash-safe, it means even if an application
is crashed in the middle of operating semaphore, the semaphore state is
still safely recovered by later use, there is no waiter counter maintained
by userland code.
The main semaphore code is in libc and libthr only has some necessary stubs,
this makes it possible that a non-threaded application can use semaphore
without linking to thread library.
Old semaphore implementation is kept libc to maintain binary compatibility.
The kernel ksem API is no longer used in the new implemenation.

Std 1003.1-2008. Both Linux and Solaris conforms to the new definitions,
so we better follow too (older glibc used old BSDish alphasort prototype
and corresponding type of the comparision function for scandir). While
there, change the definitions of the functions to ANSI C and fix several
style issues nearby.
Remove requirement for "sys/types.h" include for functions from manpage.
POSIX also requires that alphasort(3) sorts as if strcoll(3) was used,
but leave the strcmp(3) call in the function for now.
Adapt in-tree callers of scandir(3) to new declaration. The fact that
select_sections() from catman(1) could modify supplied struct dirent is
a bug.

The TTY line name should always be set for DEAD_PROCESS entries right
now. When we parse a clean utmp entry, we don't want to interpret it as
a DEAD_PROCESS entry if the TTY has never been used yet.
- Only set the fields in the ulog_utmpx structure that are valid for the
command in question. This means that strings like "shutdown" or "~"
are not visible to the user anymore.
- Rename UTXF_* to UTXI_*, indicating the indexation, instead of using
the `antique' filename. If we ever get rid of utmp, it makes little
sense calling it by its old name.
An older version of the code used a structure on the stack, instead of a
pointer to the structure. It looks like I didn't adjust the parameters
of the write(2) call, causing the first four/eight bytes of the entry to
be corrupted, instead of writing the entire entry to disk.
This brings hwpmc(4) support for 2nd and 3rd generation XScale cores.

The ulog_login_pseudo(3) and ulog_logout_pseudo(3) interfaces provide a
functionality identical to what libutempter has to offer. Just transform
libutempter's calls into the before mentioned functions.
libutempter doesn't work with utmpx, so instead of fixing I thought the
easiest way would be to integrate this functionality. libutempter is
used by applications like xterm and the KDE libraries, so if I ever
change the underlying file format, these applications will keep working
automatically.
Also increase __FreeBSD_version to indicate the addition (as well as the
import of libulog).
- Just like struct utmp, store strings inside struct utmpx itself. This
is needed to make things like pututxline() work.
- Add ut_id and ut_pid fields, even though they have little use in our
implementation.
- It turns out our "reboot" wtmp entries indicate a system boot, so
remove REBOOT_TIME
- Implement getutxline() and pututxline
- Add getutxuser() and setutxfile(), which allows us to crawl wtmp and
lastlog files as well.
- Add _ULOG_POSIX_NAMES, so we can already use the POSIX names if we
really want to.
The maximum length of a username has nothing to do with the size of the
username in the utmp files. Use MAXLOGNAME, which is defined as 17
(UT_USERSIZE + 1).
The entries in the argv array are not const themselves, but sometimes we
want to fill in const values. Just make the array const and use
__DECONST() to make it const for the execve()-call itself.
Also convert the only K&R prototype to ANSI.

One of the things I really want to do, is to get rid of the limitations
of our current utmp(5) mechanism:
- It only allows 8 byte TTY device names.
- The hostname only allows 16 bytes of storage.
I'm not a big fan of <utmpx.h>, but I think we should at least try to
add parts of it. Unfortunately we cannot implement <utmpx.h>, because we
miss various fields, such as ut_id, ut_pid, etc. The API provided by
libulog shares some similarities with <utmpx.h>, so it shouldn't be too
hard to port these applications eventually. In most simple cases, it
should just be a matter of removing the ulog_ prefix everywhere.
As a bonus, it also implements a function called ulog_login_pseudo(),
which allows unprivileged applications to write log entries, provided
they have a valid file descriptor to a pseudo-terminal master device.
libulog will allow a smoother transition to a new file format by adding
a library interface to deal with utmp/wtmp/lastlog files. I initially
thought about adding the functionality to libutil, but because I'm not
planning on keeping this library around forever, we'd better keep it
separated.
Next items on the todo list:
1. Port applications in the base system (and ports) to libulog, instead
of letting them use <utmp.h>.
2. Remove <utmp.h>, implement <utmpx.h> and reimplement this library on
top.
3. Port as many applications as possible back to <utmpx.h>.
