_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options to work. Changes:
Change all "posix4" to "p1003_1b". Misnamed files are left
as "posix4" until I'm told if I can simply delete them and add
new ones;
Add _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls for FreeBSD and Linux;
Add man pages for _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING system calls;
Add options to LINT;
Minor fixes to P1003_1B code during testing.
Change MACHINE references to MACHINE_ARCH.
Declare the names of the syscalls that need to be renamed to allow
for the functions that libc_r provides replacements for. This list
used to be in lib/libc/sys/Makefile.inc, but has been moved here
to keep that makefile tidy and remove the temptation for people to
add things to the list without adding a libc_r replacement function.
specifically:
uthread_accept.c: Fix for inherited socket not getting correct entry in
pthread flags.
uthread_create.c: Fix to allow pthread_t pointer return to be null if
caller doesn't care about return.
uthread_fd.c: Fix for return codes to be placed into correct errno.
uthread_init.c: Changes to make gcc-2.8 thread aware for exception stack
frames (WARNING: This is #ifdef'ed out by default and is
different from the Cygnus egcs fix).
uthread_ioctl.c: Fix for blocking/non-blocking ioctl.
uthread_kern.c: Signal handling fixes (only one case left to fix,
that of an externally sent SIGSEGV and friends -
a fairly unusual case).
uthread_write.c: Fix for lock of fd - ask for write lock, not read/write.
uthread_writev.c: Fix for lock of fd - ask for write lock, not read/write.
Pthreads now works well enough to run the LDAP and ACAPD(with the gcc 2.8 fix)
sample implementations.
functions would return -1 and set errno to indicate the specific error.
POSIX requires that the functions return the error code as the return
value of the function instead.
The addition of the nanosleep syscall was correctly added to
libc/sys/Makefile so that it is renamed as _thread_sys_nanosleep().
This syscall is one of those that libc_r has to re-implement because
the only behaviour is to block the process. So libc_r just ignores the
fact that a nanosleep syscall exists and goes its own way - as it has
done all along .... and now it does again. And now a simple program
can sleep again. Phew.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).
I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.
The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.
also:
Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.
also:
I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type
make -DWANT_LIBC_R world
to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r.
also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.
It uses a static constructor to call _thread_init() at program start-up
time. That eliminates the need for any initialization hooks in crt0.o.
Added a symbol reference in "uthread_init.c", to ensure that the new
module will always be pulled in when the archive version of the library
is used.
In "Makefile.inc", defined CPLUSPLUSLIB, so that the constructor will be
properly invoked in the shared library.
