==> Provide a much more complete set of setters and getters for different
value types in the prop_array_util(3) and prop_dictionary_util(3)
functions.
==> Overhaul the prop_data(3), prop_number(3), and prop_string(3) APIs
to be easier to use and less awkwardly named, Deprecate the old
awkward names, and produce link-time warnings when they are referenced.
==> Deprecate mutable prop_data(3) and prop_string(3) objects. The old
APIs that support them still exist, but will now produce link-time
warnings when used.
==> When the new prop_string(3) API is used, strings are internally
de-duplicated as a memory footprint optimization.
==> Provide a rich set of bounds-checked gettter functions in and a
corresponding set of convenience setters in the prop_number(3) API.
==> Add a new prop_bool_value(3) function that is equivalent to
prop_bool_true(3), but aligned with the new "value" routines in
prop_data(3), prop_string(3), and prop_number(3).
Provide the hook from modern jemalloc to avoid using TSD for the thread
destruction cleanup as it can result in reentrancy crashes if fork is
called from a thread that never called malloc as it will result in a
late malloc from the pre-fork synchronisation handler.
timeouts or cancellation where:
- The restarting thread calls _lwp_exit() before another thread gets around
to waking it with _lwp_unpark(), leading to ESRCH (observed by joerg@).
(I may have removed a similar check mistakenly over the weekend.)
- The restarting thread considers itself gone off the sleep queue but
at the same time another thread is part way through waking it, and hasn't
fully completed that operation yet by setting thread->pt_mutexwait = 0.
I think that could have potentially lead to the list of waiters getting
messed up given the right circumstances.
It's established enough in non-legacy code that this is a terrible idea.
Even if we add getentropy it's not a comparable API (not a userspace RNG
capable of streaming large numbers of bytes, doesn't have _uniform, etc).

it aliased with. Assert that the alignment actually used reflects the
alignment required by existing implementation and for newly build
modules assert that it is at most the guaranteed alignment.
This is intended for 68060:
- GCC does not emit __muldi3() for 68020-40, that have 32 * 32 --> 64 mulul
- mulsl (and moveml), used in this code, are not implemented for 68010
In comparison with that from compiler_rt, this version saves:
- 12% of processing time
- 12 bytes of stack
- 50 bytes of code size
Also, slightly faster, memory saving, and smaller than libgcc version.
By examining with evcnt(9), __muldi3() is invoked more than 1000 times per
sec by kernel, which should justify to introduce assembler version of this
function.
- Switch to the C11-style atomic primitives using atomic_loadstore(9).
- npfkern: introduce the 'state.key.interface' and 'state.key.direction'
settings. Users can now choose whether the connection state should be
strictly per-interface or global at the configuration level. Keep NAT
logic to be always per-interface, though.
- npfkern: rewrite the G/C worker logic and make it self-tuning.
- npfkern and libnpf: multiple bug fixes; add param exporting; introduce
more parameters. Remove npf_nvlist_{copyin,copyout}() functions and
refactor npfctl_load_nvlist() with others; add npfctl_run_op() to have
a single entry point for operations. Introduce npf_flow_t and clean up
some code.
- npfctl: lots of fixes for the 'npfctl show' logic; make 'npfctl list'
more informative; misc usability improvements and more user-friendly
error messages.
- Amend and improve the manual pages.
libpam.a fails to load any modules and does not work at all.
At the moment, openpam_load.c at least must be compiled with and without
OPENPAM_STATIC_MODULES for static and shared libraries, respectively.
Therefore, use CSHLIBFLAGS again, in order to build objects for static and
shared libraries separately.
This may be ugly, but seems better for me than adding further hacks in
libpam/libpam/Makefile, which is already complicated enough...
This ldexp stub will shadow the ldexp weak alias for scalbn in libm,
which is unfortunate but hard to fix properly without chasing the
mythical libc bump beast. With the change here, we should raise all
the same exceptions that libm's scalbn does -- overflow, underflow,
inexact-result, and (for signalling NaN only) invalid-operation.
This in turn should correct the missing overflow/underflow exceptions
of our portable C fma, and perhaps other routines.
XXX pullup
Centralise wakeup of deferred waiters in pthread__clear_waiters() and use
throughout libpthread. Make fewer assumptions. Be more conservative in
pthread_mutex when dealing with pending waiters.
- Remove the "hint" argument everywhere since the kernel doesn't use it any
more.
- lock all relevant mutexes just before fork
- unlock all mutexes just after fork in the parent
- full reinit non-spinlocks in the child
This is not using the normal pthread_atfork interface to ensure order of
operation, malloc is used as implementation detail too often.
They deliver the logic of bypassing selected signals directly to the
debuggee, without informing the debugger.
This can be used to implement the QPassSignals GDB/LLDB protocol.
This call can be useful to avoid signal races in ATF ptrace tests.

the environment rather than simply turning into posix_spawn() in that case.
Also, we cannot use strtok() to parse PATH, the semantics don't fit the API.
Borrow the guts of execvp for the PATH search.
We still simply check for a file with 'x' permission, and assume that one
will do, whatever it is, which isn't really correct, but ...
Still being discussed in tech-userlevel. If we wait any longer someone
is going to try the excuse that the discussion is entirely pointless, since
removing symbols is too hard.

GETENTROPY(3) Library Functions Manual GETENTROPY(3)
NAME
getentropy - fill a buffer with high quality random data
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int
getentropy(void *buf, size_t buflen);
DESCRIPTION
The getentropy() function fills a buffer with high quality random data,
suitable for seeding cryptographically secure psuedorandom number
generators.
getentropy() is only intended for seeding random number generators and is
not intended for use by regular code which simply needs secure random
data. For this purpose, please use arc4random(3).
The maximum value for buflen is 256 bytes.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
getentropy() reads from the sysctl(7) variable kern.arandom.
RETURN VALUES
The getentropy() function returns 0 on success, and -1 if an error
occurred.
ERRORS
getentropy() will succeed unless:
[EFAULT] The buf argument points to an invalid memory address.
[EIO] Too many bytes were requested.
SEE ALSO
arc4random(3), rnd(4)
STANDARDS
The getentropy() function is non-standard.
HISTORY
The getentropy() function first appeared in OpenBSD 5.6, then in
FreeBSD 12.0, and NetBSD 10.
