it possible to get the pid, euid and egid of the process at the remote
end at the time it did bind() or connect().
Add a new libc function, getpeereid() to easily get at the euid and egid.
As a consequence, bump libc's minor number.
Document the LOCAL_PEEREID socket option in unix(4).
Based on contribution by Arne H. Juul, minor modifications by myself.
of pending atexit handlers before the structure is reused. This prevents
__cxa_finalize from going into an infinite loop when an atexit handler
register a new atexit handler as in:
#include <stdlib.h>
void two(void) {
}
void one(void) {
atexit(two);
}
int main(void) {
atexit(one);
return 0;
}
hint pointer, but do so in a way that remains compatible with older
pthread libraries. This can be used to wake another thread before the
calling thread goes asleep, saving at least one syscall + involuntary
context switch. This turns out to be a fairly large win on the condvar
benchmarks that I have tried.
detach/join.
- Make mutex acquire spin for a short time, as done with spinlocks.
- Make the number of spins controllable with the env var PTHREAD_NSPINS.
- Reduce the amount of time that libpthread internal spinlocks are held.
- Rely more on the barrier effects of park/unpark to avoid taking spinlocks.
- Simplify the locking around pthreads and the global queues.
- Align per-thread sync data on a 128 byte boundary.
- Offset thread stacks by a small amount to try and reduce cache thrash.
null character outside of the byte region [sbuf, sbuf + len).
1) If the length of the buffer is 0, do not write a null character
at all. Previously, sockaddr_snprintf() may have been able to
overwrite sbuf[-1] if len was 0.
2) If the length of the buffer, len, is greater than 0, then write
the null at sbuf[len - 1]. Previously, sockaddr_snprintf()
wrote the null at buf[len - 1], where `buf' was a "cursor" that
did not necessarily equal `sbuf', the start of the buffer. Now,
sockaddr_snprintf() always writes the null at sbuf[len - 1].
the maximum request size after mount. Calling mount(MNT_GETARGS)
from the file server is currently not kosher, as it vrele()s the
root vnode, potentially causing an inactive, which the file server
cannot handle while it itself is inactive in the kernel (deadlock).
