file descriptor opened for complimentary access exists as well.
The implementation of the guarantee is done by counting the
generations of readers and writers opens. We return success and not
EINTR or ERESTART error, when the sleep for complimentary opening is
interrupted, but the generation was changed during the sleep.
Longer explanation: assume there are two threads, A doing open("fifo",
O_RDONLY) and B doing open("fifo", O_WRONLY), and no other threads
either trying to open the fifo, nor there are any file descriptors
referencing the fifo. Before the change, it was possible e.g. for for
thread A to return a valid file descriptor, while thread B returned
EINTR if a signal to B was delivered simultaneously with the wakeup
from A. After the change, in this situation both A::open() and
B::open() succeed and the signal is made "as if" it was noticed
slightly later. Note that the signal actual delivery is not changed,
it is done by ast on syscall return path, so signal handler is still
executed before first instruction after syscall.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
