and for all (I hope). Packages such as wine, JDK, and linuxthreads should no longer have any problems with re-entering the dynamic linker. This commit replaces the locking used in the dynamic linker with a new spinlock-based reader/writer lock implementation. Brian Fundakowski Feldman <green> argued for this from the very beginning, but it took me a long time to come around to his point of view. Spinlocks are the only kinds of locks that work with all thread packages. But on uniprocessor systems they can be inefficient, because while a contender for the lock is spinning the holder of the lock cannot make any progress toward releasing it. To alleviate this disadvantage I have borrowed a trick from Sleepycat's Berkeley DB implementation. When spinning for a lock, the requester does a nanosleep() call for 1 usec. each time around the loop. This will generally yield the CPU to other threads, allowing the lock holder to finish its business and release the lock. I chose 1 usec. as the minimum sleep which would with reasonable certainty not be rounded down to 0. The formerly machine-independent file "lockdflt.c" has been moved into the architecture-specific subdirectories by repository copy. It now contains the machine-dependent spinlocking code. For the spinlocks I used the very nifty "simple, non-scalable reader-preference lock" which I found at <http://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/scott/synchronization/pseudocode/rw.html> on all CPUs except the 80386 (the specific CPU model, not the architecture). The 80386 CPU doesn't support the necessary "cmpxchg" instruction, so on that CPU a simple exclusive test-and-set lock is used instead. 80386 CPUs are detected at initialization time by trying to execute "cmpxchg" and catching the resulting SIGILL signal. To reduce contention for the locks, I have revamped a couple of key data structures, permitting all common operations to be done under non-exclusive (reader) locking. The only operations that require exclusive locking now are the rare intrusive operations such as dlopen() and dlclose(). The dllockinit() interface is now deprecated. It still exists, but only as a do-nothing stub. I plan to remove it as soon as is reasonably possible. (From the very beginning it was clearly labeled as experimental and subject to change.) As far as I know, only the linuxthreads port uses dllockinit(). This interface turned out to have several problems. As one example, when the dynamic linker called a client-supplied locking function, that function sometimes needed lazy binding, causing re-entry into the dynamic linker and a big looping mess. And in any case, it turned out to be too burdensome to require threads packages to register themselves with the dynamic linker.
