Change return type from int to void (binary compatibility surprisely
achieved). Userland code will be changed soon.
The addition of the nanosleep syscall was correctly added to
libc/sys/Makefile so that it is renamed as _thread_sys_nanosleep().
This syscall is one of those that libc_r has to re-implement because
the only behaviour is to block the process. So libc_r just ignores the
fact that a nanosleep syscall exists and goes its own way - as it has
done all along .... and now it does again. And now a simple program
can sleep again. Phew.
Malloc cannot use pthread_mutex_init() to initialize a mutex because
the mutex initialization process does a malloc!
libc_r internals skip the malloc and assign an initializer to a static
structure and point the opaque type (pthread_mutex_t in this case) to
that structure. This is done on the assumption that the mutex will never
be destroyed. This style of initialization is only valid inside libc_r
because the structure that is assigned is opaque to the user.
This fix allows a simple program to get to main() again. 8-)
semantics of the old sleep for compatability with a few decades of expected
side effects. Apache breaks if we just use nanosleep() for some reason,
here we use a new signanosleep() syscall which is kinda like a hybrid of
sigsuspend and nanosleep..

sleep used plain nanosleep)
These changes add the ability to specify that a UFS file/directory
cannot be unlinked. This is basically a scaled back version
of the IMMUTABLE flag. The reason is to allow an administrator
to create a directory hierarchy that a group of users
can arbitrarily add/delete files from, but that the hierarchy
itself is safe from removal by them.
If the NOUNLINK definition is set to 0
then this results in no change to what happens normally.
(and results in identical binary (in the kernel)).
It can be proven that if this bit is never set by the admin,
no new behaviour is introduced..
Several "good idea" comments from reviewers plus one grumble
about creeping featurism.
This code is in production in 2.2 based systems
-DUSE_NANOSLEEP. Also, seperate the code for _THREAD_SAFE so that it uses
the simpler threaded nanosleep() call in libc_r.. We don't go to the same
extremes for emulating traditional sleep semantics (ie: eating any SIGALRM
that might happen) which things like apache seem to depend on.

I had fixed the 'fds + 1' bug in my stuff at home before mailing

This concludes tonight's entertainment. Once I'm sure I haven't destroyed
the world with all these changes, I'll import the utilities. Everything
should continue to work as before. If it doesn't let me know.
Special thanks to Mark Murray for running a test 'make world' for me to
shake out the bugs, which, hopefully, I have fixed.
(And there was much rejoicing.)
Note: you'll need to rinstalkl all your includes before compiling libc
the next time you update your sources in order for all this to work.

value, it appears as though the semantics of usleep are that it doesn't

already)
(nanosleep) breaks Apache httpd badly: his childs died quickly after
number of requests (SIGPIPE). To reproduce this bug start
gdb /usr/local/sbin/httpd
run -X
and make some bunch of concurent requests (load the server pages
from 3 different places f.e.)
After short time httpd dies via SIGPIPE. It never dies with old sleep.c
In real life it looks like lots of broken images on the pages or missing
pages. Lynx says about Network read error, etc.
It seems something wrong in nanosleep signal handling.

Also it not violates current standards but

2) It broke Kerberos5 (isprint) and God knows what else

o Incorporated BSDI code and enhancements, better logging for error
checking (which has been shown to be a problem, and is therefore
justified, imho); also some minor things we were missing, including
better quad_t math, which checks for under/overflows.
o setusercontext() now allows user resource limit overrides, but
does this AFTER dropping root privs, to restrict the user to
droping hard limits and set soft limits within the kernel's
allowed user limits.
o umask() only set once, and only if requested.
o add _secure_path(), and use in login.conf to guard against
symlinks etc. and non-root owned or non-user owned files being
used. Derived from BSDI contributed code.
o revamped authentication code to BSDI's latest api, which
includes deleting authenticate() and adding auth_check()
and a few other functions. This is still marked as depecated
in BSDI, but is included for completeness. No other source
in the tree uses this anyway, so it is now bracketed with
#ifdef LOGIN_CAP_AUTH which is by default not defined. Only
auth_checknologin() and auth_cat() are actually used in
module login_auth.c.
o AUTH_NONE definition removed (collided with other includes
in the tree). [bde]
o BSDI's login_getclass() now accepts a char *classname
parameter rather than struct passwd *pwd. We now do likewise,
but added login_getpwclass() for (sort of) backwards
compatiblity, namely because we handle root as a special
case for the default class. This will require quite a few
changes elsewhere in the source tree.
o We no longer pretend to support rlim_t as a long type.
o Revised code formatting to be more bsd-ish style.

This should match, but did not.
- dependencies actually work (I need this to propagate some fixes
in <machine/asm.h>)
- the cpp pipeline goes away, so errors can't leak out of it and
an ANSI cpp is automatically used.
- it's simpler - standard rules get used instead of repetitive
special rules. (This showed bugs in the strip steps in the
standard rules. The wrong strip flag was also used for *.po
here.)
Removed some ${ECHO}s and `@'s. Normal make echoing of what is

- use a slightly less bogus copyright. This file was never contributed
to Berkeley. It still claims to be copright by the Regents.
- use <machine/asm.h> instead of "DEFS.h".
- use RCSID($Id$) instead of explicit assembly code and messy ifdefs.
The rcsid won't be put into the object file until we make RCSID()
non-null. NetBSD uses a LIBC_SCCS ifdef here. We used a LIBC_RCS
instead, but I want RCSID() to be controlled directly by LIBC_RCS
(actually by LIB_RCS). This is the only difference with the NetBSD
version.
- added ifdefs to support generation of memcpy() and memmove(). The
other changes are "while I'm here" to get this.
- improved style of the copy backwards case.
TTY_NETWORK (network), TTY_DIALUP (dialup), which determine a basic
