make all local variables static
use simplelocks - we really need only mutexes, full locks are not necessary
update couple of comments to be more accurate
add function pty_maxptys(), which provides a safe way to get&set maxptys - this
also supports setting maxptys to lower than current value, if the
value is lower or equal current number of ptys
to support arbitrary number of ptys without need of kernel recompile
(the extra device special files in /dev/ still need to be created, of course)
upper limit of supported ptys is controlled via new sysctl variable
kern.maxptys (KERN_MAXPTYS), which is raise-only and defaults to 512.
sig = (int)(long)*(caddr_t *)data;
to *properly* dereference the passed data. this makes signals on
ptys actually *work* on the sparc64 port. from mycroft.
XXX: the release branch version needs this ASAP as it is probably
unstable on ILP32BE.
* Increase the size of sigset_t to accomodate 128 signals -- adding new
versions of sys_setprocmask(), sys_sigaction(), sys_sigpending() and
sys_sigsuspend() to handle the changed arguments.
* Abstract the guts of sys_sigaltstack(), sys_setprocmask(), sys_sigaction(),
sys_sigpending() and sys_sigsuspend() into separate functions, and call them
from all the emulations rather than hard-coding everything. (Avoids uses
the stackgap crap for these system calls.)
* Add a new flag (p_checksig) to indicate that a process may have signals
pending and userret() needs to do the full (slow) check.
* Eliminate SAS_ALTSTACK; it's exactly the inverse of SS_DISABLE.
* Correct emulation bugs with restoring SS_ONSTACK.
* Make the signal mask in the sigcontext always use the emulated mask format.
* Store signals internally in sigaction structures, rather than maintaining a
bunch of little sigsets for each SA_* bit.
* Keep track of where we put the signal trampoline, rather than figuring it out
in *_sendsig().
* Issue a warning when a non-emulated sigaction bit is observed.
* Add missing emulated signals, and a native SIGPWR (currently not used).
* Implement the `not reset when caught' semantics for relevant signals.
Note: Only code touched by the i386 port has been modified. Other ports and
emulations need to be updated.
