Cache discarded default thread stacks for use in subsequent thread creations.
Create a red zone at the end of each stack (including the initial thread
stack), with the hope of causing a segfault if a stack overflows.
To activate these modifications, add -D_PTHREAD_GSTACK to CFLAGS in
src/lib/libc_r/Makefile. Since the modifications depend on the VM_STACK
kernel option, I'm not sure how to safely use growable stacks by default.
Testing, as well as algorithmic and stylistic comments are welcome.
propagates a bug (that there is no poll wrapper in libc_r), but it
prevents GNU configure scripts from trying to use it in preference
to select. libc_r really needs to change it's wait interface to use
poll instead of select because poll is more a superset of select that
the other way around.
This should allow the Roxen web server to work out-of-the-box. It's
configuration intercae is kinda neat. The code isn't. Shiver. 8-)
_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.
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.
