Ok christos@.
Get rid of the original puffs_req(3) framework and use puffs_framebuf(3)
instead for file system requests. It has the advantage of being
suitable for transporting a distributed message passing protocol
and therefore us being able to run the file system server on any
host.
Ok, puffs is not quite here yet: libpuffs needs to grow request
routing support and the message contents need to be munged into a
host independent format. Saying which format would be telling,
but it might begin with an X, end in an L and have the 13th character
in the middle. Keep an eye out for the sequels: Parts 3+m/n.
Ok, ok, a few more words about it: stop holding puffs_cc as a holy
value and passing it around to almost every possible place (popquiz:
which kernel variable does this remind you of?). Instead, pass
the natural choice, puffs_usermount, and fetch puffs_cc via
puffs_cc_getcc() only in routines which actually need it. This
not only simplifies code, but (thanks to the introduction of
puffs_cc_getcc()) enables constructs which weren't previously sanely
possible, say layering as a curious example.
There's still a little to do on this front, but this was the major
fs interface blast.

is a forwards jump instead of a backwards jump that a P4 will mispredect (and
probably immediatly get a cache-line miss due to the way the code gets
aligned).
extra argument to ensure that 'off_t' parameters are even numbered
parameters for stack alignment reasons on 32 bit systems) to use a normal
'syscall' wrapper for __foo instead of using __syscall(SYS_foo, ... ).
This saves all the faffing needed to get a 32bit return value on sparc.
Auto-generate the extra syscall wrappers.
Move swapon.c into the correct list (swapon() uses swapctl()).
This probably means there are very few users of syscall() and __syscall() left.
also synchronizes with puffs_mount() and does not return (exit) in the
parent process until the file system has been mounted. This makes
it possible to reliably run e.g. mount_foo jippi /kai ; cd /kai/ee
- Play scrooge again and chop more cycles off acquire/release.
- Spin while the lock holder is running on another CPU (adaptive mutexes).
- Do non-atomic release.
Threadreg:
- Add the necessary hooks to use a thread register.
- Add the code for i386, using %gs.
- Leave i386 code disabled until xen and COMPAT_NETBSD32 have the changes.
- Override __libc_thr_init() instead of using our own constructor.
- Add pthread__getenv() and use instead of getenv(). This is used before
we are up and running and unfortunatley getenv() takes locks.
Other changes:
- Cache the spinlock vectors in pthread__st. Internal spinlock operations
now take 1 function call instead of 3 (i386).
- Use pthread__self() internally, not pthread_self().
- Use __attribute__ ((visibility("hidden"))) in some places.
- Kill PTHREAD_MAIN_DEBUG.

- Add a libc constructor. Use this to initialize threading and the
stack protector stuff. libpthread cannot be initialized safely using
its own constructor because libc and libpthread are deeply intertwined.

This adds reachover Makefiles to build the libatf library and enables it in
the parent Makefile.
Things to review in this change:
* Add proper version numbers in the shlib_version files.
* Is libatf properly listed in lib/Makefile? It theoretically needs
libstdc++, but the resulting binary library is not linked against it.
This function allows the caller finer control of how the writes happen
and doesn't force stdio as interface. Optimise clear_gap a bit to not

alternative to the (vastly superior ;) continuation model. This
is very preliminary stuff and not compiled by default (which it
even won't do without some other patches I cannot commit yet).
The raison d'commit of the patch is a snippet which ensures proper
in-order dispatching of all operations, including those which don't
require a response. Previously many of them would be dispatched
simultaneosly, e.g. fsync and reclaim on the same node, which
obviously isn't all that nice for correct operation.
Make the key name string a static buffer. The specification allows this,
so the previous behaviour would leak a small amount of memory, as the
application wouldn't free the returned string.

* since the kernel-user communication is not purely request-response
anymore (hasn't been since 2006), try to rename some "request" to
"message". more similar mangling will take place in the future.
* completely rework how messages are allocated. previously most of
them were borrowed from the stack (originally *all* of them),
but now always allocate dynamically. this makes the structure
of the code much cleaner. also makes it possible to fix a
locking order violation. it enables plenty of future enhancements.
* start generalizing the transport interface to be independent of puffs
* move transport interface to read/write instead of ioctl. the
old one had legacy design problems, and besides, ioctl's suck.
implement a very generic version for now; this will be
worked on later hopefully some day reaching "highly optimized".
* implement libpuffs support behind existing library request
interfaces. this will change eventually (I hate those interfaces)

(A slightly different version) reviewed by Andrew Doran.
- Allow callers to try and release an unheld rwlock. Just return EPERM
as mandated by IEEE Std 1003.1.
- Use pthread__atomic_swap_ptr() to set in the new lock value. At this
point the lock word can't have changed.
pthread__rwlock_wrlock, pthread__rwlock_rdlock:
- Mask out the waiter bits in the lock word before checking to see if
the current thread is about to lock against itself.
the following do not wake other threads early:
pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
pthread_cond_broadcast(&cond);
foo = malloc(100); /* takes libc mutexes */
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
- Eliminate mutexattr_private and just set a bit in ptm_owner if the mutex
is recursive. This forces the slow path to be taken for recursive mutexes.
Overload an unused field in pthread_mutex_t to record whether or not it's
an errorcheck mutex.
- Streamline pthread_mutex_lock / pthread_mutex_unlock a bit more. As a
side effect makes it possible to have assembly stubs for them.
- Update some comments and fix minor bugs. Minor cosmetic changes.
- Replace some spinlocks with mutexes and rwlocks.
- Change the process private semaphores to use mutexes and condition
variables instead of doing the synchronization directly. Spinlocks
are no longer used by the semaphore code.
Instead, make the deferred wakeup list a per-thread array and pass down
the lwpid_t's that way.
- In pthread_cond_wait(), take the mutex before dealing with early wakeup.
In this way there should never be contention on the CV's spinlock if
the app follows POSIX rules (there should only be contention on the
user-provided mutex).
- Add a port of the kernel's rwlocks. The rwlock's spinlock is only taken if
there is contention. This is enabled where atomic ops are available. Right
now that is only i386 and amd64 because I don't have other hardware to
test with. It's trivial to add stubs for other architectures as long as
they have compare-and-swap. When we have proper atomic ops the old rwlock
code can be removed.
- Add a new mutex implementation that's similar to the kernel's mutexes, but
uses compare-and-swap to maintain the waiters list, so no spinlocks are
involved. Same caveats apply as for the rwlocks.
yielding. This is a nasty band-aid but with many threads, looping over
sched_yield() wastes a huge amount of CPU time. It would be nice to have a
way to temporarily disable preemption, but it turns out that's yet another
no-brain concept that has been patented and the patent holder seems to be
suing people lately. Another alternative is probably to have kernel-assisted
spinlocks.
This fix is about the best we can do given the current interfaces. We
could extend the cgetcap(3) interfaces with a function that would return
a character count and handle this in libterm which would provide a more
complete fix and allow a NULL character in a string capability.
leads to loss of precision, leading to rounding into the wrong direction
for the case 0.5-epsilon. use floor() instead.
This also fixes a wrong sign of zero returned with non-default rounding
directions.
Most complex function implementations are from the "c9x-complex" library,
originating from the "cephes" math library, see
http://www.netlib.org/cephes/, from Stephen L. Moshier, incorporated and

Error behaviour and other boundary conditions (branch cuts)
need to be looked at.
For namespace sanity, I've done the rename/weak alias procedure to
most of the exported functions which are also used internally.
Didn't do so for sin/cos(f) yet because assembler implementations use
them directly, and renaming functions shared between the main libm
and the machine specific "overlay" might raise binary compatibility
issues.
