On shared object unload, in __cxa_finalize, call and clear all installed

Use _rtld_addr_phdr to locate segment information from the address of
private variable belonging to the dso, supplied by crtstuff.c. Provide
utility function __elf_phdr_match_addr to do the match of address against
dso executable segment.

Call back into libthr from __cxa_finalize using weak
__pthread_cxa_finalize symbol to remove any atfork handler which
function points into unloaded object.

The rtld needs private __pthread_cxa_finalize symbol to not require
resolution of the weak undefined symbol at initialization time. This
cannot work, since rtld is relocated before sym_zero is set up.

Use umtx to implement process sharable semaphore, to make this work,
now type sema_t is a structure which can be put in a shared memory area,
and multiple processes can operate it concurrently.
User can either use mmap(MAP_SHARED) + sem_init(pshared=1) or use sem_open()
to initialize a shared semaphore.
Named semaphore uses file system and is located in /tmp directory, and its
file name is prefixed with 'SEMD', so now it is chroot or jail friendly.
In simplist cases, both for named and un-named semaphore, userland code
does not have to enter kernel to reduce/increase semaphore's count.
The semaphore is designed to be crash-safe, it means even if an application
is crashed in the middle of operating semaphore, the semaphore state is
still safely recovered by later use, there is no waiter counter maintained
by userland code.
The main semaphore code is in libc and libthr only has some necessary stubs,
this makes it possible that a non-threaded application can use semaphore
without linking to thread library.
Old semaphore implementation is kept libc to maintain binary compatibility.
The kernel ksem API is no longer used in the new implemenation.

Revert the previous change to pthread_once() stub in libc. It is actually
a feature that libstdc++ depends on to simulate the behavior of libc's
internal '__isthreaded' variable. One benefit of this is that _libc_once()
is now private to _once_stub.c.

Add an internal _once() method. This works identical to pthread_once(3)
with the additional property that it is safe for routines in libc to use
in both single-threaded and multi-threaded processes. Multi-threaded
processes use the pthread_once() implementation from the threading library
while single-threaded processes use a simplified "stub" version internal
to libc. The libc stub-version of pthread_once() now also uses the
simplified "stub" version as well instead of being a nop.

Change the ABI of some of the structures used by the SYSV IPC API:
- The uid/cuid members of struct ipc_perm are now uid_t instead of unsigned
short.
- The gid/cgid members of struct ipc_perm are now gid_t instead of unsigned
short.
- The mode member of struct ipc_perm is now mode_t instead of unsigned short
(this is merely a style bug).
- The rather dubious padding fields for ABI compat with SV/I386 have been
removed from struct msqid_ds and struct semid_ds.
- The shm_segsz member of struct shmid_ds is now a size_t instead of an
int. This removes the need for the shm_bsegsz member in struct
shmid_kernel and should allow for complete support of SYSV SHM regions
>= 2GB.
- The shm_nattch member of struct shmid_ds is now an int instead of a
short.
- The shm_internal member of struct shmid_ds is now gone. The internal
VM object pointer for SHM regions has been moved into struct
shmid_kernel.
- The existing __semctl(), msgctl(), and shmctl() system call entries are
now marked COMPAT7 and new versions of those system calls which support
the new ABI are now present.
- The new system calls are assigned to the FBSD-1.1 version in libc. The
FBSD-1.0 symbols in libc now refer to the old COMPAT7 system calls.
- A simplistic framework for tagging system calls with compatibility
symbol versions has been added to libc. Version tags are added to
system calls by adding an appropriate __sym_compat() entry to
src/lib/libc/incldue/compat.h. [1]

Add thread-specific caching for small size classes, based on magazines.
This caching allows for completely lock-free allocation/deallocation in the
steady state, at the expense of likely increased memory use and
fragmentation.

Reduce the default number of arenas to 2*ncpus, since thread-specific
caching typically reduces arena contention.

Modify size class spacing to include ranges of 2^n-spaced, quantum-spaced,
cacheline-spaced, and subpage-spaced size classes. The advantages are:
fewer size classes, reduced false cacheline sharing, and reduced internal
fragmentation for allocations that are slightly over 512, 1024, etc.

Increase RUN_MAX_SMALL, in order to limit fragmentation for the
subpage-spaced size classes.

Add a size-->bin lookup table for small sizes to simplify translating sizes
to size classes. Include a hard-coded constant table that is used unless
custom size class spacing is specified at run time.

Add the ability to disable tiny size classes at compile time via
MALLOC_TINY.

When a dynamic NSS module is built and linked against a thread
library, it may pull in that thread library at run time. If the
process started out single-threaded, this could cause attempts to
release locks that do not exist. Guard against this possibility by
checking __isthreaded before invoking thread primitives.

A similar problem remains if the process is linked against one thread
library, but the NSS module is linked against another. This can only
be avoided by careful design of the NSS module.

Make the resolver(3) and many associated interfaces much more reentrant.
The getaddrinfo(3), getipnodebyname(3) and resolver(3) can coincide now
with what should be totally reentrant, and h_errno values will now
be preserved correctly, but this does not affect interfaces such as
gethostbyname(3) which are still mostly non-reentrant.

In all of these relevant functions, the thread-safety has been pushed
down as far as it seems possible right now. This means that operations
that are selected via nsdispatch(3) (i.e. files, yp, dns) are protected
still under global locks that getaddrinfo(3) defines, but where possible
the locking is greatly reduced. The most noticeable improvement is
that multiple DNS lookups can now be run at the same time, and this
shows major improvement in performance of DNS-lookup threaded programs,
and solves the "Mozilla tab serialization" problem.

No single-threaded applications need to be recompiled. Multi-threaded
applications that reference "_res" to change resolver(3) options will
need to be recompiled, and ones which reference "h_errno" will also
if they desire the correct h_errno values. If the applications already
understood that _res and h_errno were not thread-safe and had their own
locking, they will see no performance improvement but will not
actually break in any way.

Please note that when NSS modules are used, or when nsdispatch(3)
defaults to adding any lookups of its own to the individual libc
_nsdispatch() calls, those MUST be reentrant as well.

Externalize malloc's spinlock so that a thread library can take

Bring in a hybrid of SunSoft's transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) and
associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as
bugs fixed along the way.

Bring in required TLI library routines to support this.

Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD
has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls
into BSD socket calls.

This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994,
however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly
only made available after this porting effort was underway).

The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the
1999 release.

Several key features are introduced with this update:
Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread
safe)
Updated, a more modern interface.

Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with
the recent RPC API.

There is an update to the pthreads library, a function
pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads
library.

While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too
long of a wait.

New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over
an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing
set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure
than the old portmapper.

Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded
to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6.

Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars,
which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.

Fix a potential deadlock in _fwalk in a threaded environment.
A file flag (__SIGN) was added to stdio.h that, when set, tells
_fwalk to ignore it in its walk. This seemed to be needed in
refill.c because each file needs to be locked when flushing.

Add a stub for pthread_self in libc. This is needed by flockfile
which is allowed by POSIX to be recursive.

Make fgetpos() error return value (-1) match man page.

Remove recursive calls to locked functions (stdio); I think I've
got them all, but I may have missed a couple.

A few K&R -> ANSI conversions along with removal of a few instances
of "register".

Remove _THREAD_SAFE and make libc thread-safe by default by
adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.

Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo

Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.

Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.

Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.

Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.

Implement compile time debug support for spinlocks.

Simplify the atomic lock prototype, removing the lock value.

Delete the unlock prototypes that are not required.


35759 05-May-1998 jb

Remove leading underscores from the FILE lock functions that POSIX
specifies.


35753 05-May-1998 jb

In a threaded library, expect the lock field to be declared volatile,
so provide function prototypes that respect that, avoiding a gcc
warning that `volatile' is being thrown away.


35124 11-Apr-1998 jb

Add a private header file for libc/libc_r/libpthread to contain
definitions for things like locking etc.


34365 09-Mar-1998 jb

Add a private (to libc, libc_r and libpthread) header file containing
prototypes for the spinlock functions that will be used for thread locks.
libc will have stubs declared with weak symbols. libpthread and libc_r
will have functions that really do something.
