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>.
adjustment for all virtual addresses encoded into the ELF structures of

For sym_zero pseudosymbol used as a return value from find_symdef()
for undefined weak symbols, st_value also should be adjusted, since
_rtld_bind corrects symbol values by relocbase.

for the mapping by the object' file with the protection and mode of
the first loadable segment over the whole region. Then, it maps other
segments at the appropriate addresses inside the region.
On amd64, due to default alignment of the segments being 1Gb, the
subsequent segment mappings leave the holes in the region, that usually
contain mapping of the object' file past eof. Such mappings prevent
wiring of the address space, because the pages cannot be faulted in.
Change the way the mapping of the ELF objects is constructed, by first
mapping PROT_NONE anonymous memory over the whole range, and then
mapping the segments of the object over it. Take advantage of this new
order and allocate .bss by changing the protection of the range instead
of remapping.
Note that we cannot simply keep the holes between segments, because
other mappings may be made there. Among other issues, when the dso is
unloaded, rtld unmaps the whole region, deleting unrelated mappings.
The kernel ELF image activator does put the holes between segments, but
this is not critical for now because kernel loads only executable image
and interpreter, both cannot be unloaded. This will be fixed later, if
needed.

To fix this, move the dlfunc() to rtld, where it can call the internal

1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.
Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:
- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion
does not use any external symbols, thus avoiding possible recursion into
rtld to resolve symbols, when called.

Threading library calls _pre before the fork, allowing the rtld to
lock itself to ensure that other threads of the process are out of
dynamic linker. _post releases the locks.
This allows the rtld to have consistent state in the child. Although
child may legitimately call only async-safe functions, the call may
need plt relocation resolution, and this requires working rtld.

Some time ago I got some reports MPSAFE TTY broke telnetd(8). Even
though it turned out to be a different problem within the TTY code, I
spotted a small issue with telnetd(8). Instead of allocating PTY's using
openpty(3) or posix_openpt(2), it used its own PTY allocation routine.
This means that telnetd(8) still uses /dev/ptyXX-style devices.
I've also increased the size of line[]. Even though 16 should be enough,
we already use 13 bytes ("/dev/pts/999", including '\0'). 32 bytes gives
us a little more freedom.
Also enable -DSTREAMSPTY. Otherwise telnetd(8) strips the PTY's pathname
to the latest slash instead of just removing "/dev/" (e.g. /dev/pts/0 ->
0, instead of pts/0).
