dholland 6687b6883d Mention, along with the behavior of succeeding system calls, the
normal behavior of succeeding library functions regarding errno.
(That is, they may leave arbitrary nonzero values in errno.)

Due to limitations in the current pthread implementation, makecontext(3)
and sigaltstack(2) should not be used in programs which link against
libpthread (whether threads are used or not).

Wording from drochner@ and ad@

Bump date for man pages.

Add note in libpthread/README so it's not forgotten to update the man
pages when the problem is fixed.

dholland ecb714dc77 Update the note about sync returning before buffers are written: it is a
piece of historical behavior, not a current bug. Also, while here, add a
bit about disk write-back caches and point to dkctl/scsictl.
Bump date. (first time since 1993!)

martin 9e8a2fc070 __posix_fadvise50() does not use the standard errno behaviour, but returns
the error value itself - so move it from ASM to NOERR. Pointed out by
Nick. I have no idea how/if this ever could have worked, but I would swear
I realy tested it when I last touched it! Fixes the sys/fs/posix_fadvise
regression test.

christos 584a4c6af9 don't use glue for semctl, the number of underscores makes this an intractable
problem :-) Use regular wrappers like we do with sigtimedwait.
2009-01-16 00:02:57 +00:00
christos 74070c3c8c fix the semctl glue build that worked before by chance by side effects of
building the the assembly stub as a normal stub. Just build it as a glue
stub.
