| | | | | | | | pthread_exit from libpthread to libc, along with low-level bits to support them. Major bump to both libc and libpthread. Requested by libressl team. Ports testing by naddy@ ok kettenis@

| | | | | | then strays off the path to exec(). one common manifestation of this problem occurs in pthread_join(), so we can add a little check there. first person to hit this in real life gets to change the error message.

* Use a Thread Information Block in both single and multi-threaded programs.guenther2016-05-071-18/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This stores errno, the cancelation flags, and related bits for each thread and is allocated by ld.so or libc.a. This is an ABI break from 5.9-stable! Make libpthread dlopen'able by moving the cancelation wrappers into libc and doing locking and fork/errno handling via callbacks that libpthread registers when it first initializes. 'errno' *must* be declared via <errno.h> now! Clean up libpthread's symbol exports like libc. On powerpc, offset the TIB/TCB/TLS data from the register per the ELF spec. Testing by various, particularly sthen@ and patrick@ ok kettenis@

* Replace the malloc spinlock with a mutex. This lock is held over system callskettenis2016-01-271-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | which run for many cycles and may even sleep. This leads to other threads spinning for a long time waiting on the lock. Using a mutex means those threads go to sleep and get woken up when the lock is released, which results in a lot less CPU usage. More work is needed to improve the performance of threaded code that suffers from malloc lock contention, but this diff makes ports like Firefox significantly more usable. Tested by many. ok mpi@, guenther@, tedu@, jca@
* ld.so no longer needs or uses a bind lock, so stop setting it. Thisguenther2015-10-181-23/+3
| | | | | eliminates a chunk of complexity from the libpthread init and the fork wrapper, as it was the bind lock that needed prebinding before use.

* Make pthread_atfork() track the DSO that called it like atexit() does,guenther2015-04-071-52/+4
| | | | | | | | | | unregistering callbacks if the DSO is unloaded. Move the callback handling from libpthread to libc, though libpthread still overrides the inner call to handle locking and thread-library reinitialization. Major version bump for both libc and libpthread. verification that this fixes various ports ajacoutot@ asm assistance miod@; ok millert@ deraadt@

| | | | | | | | | thread's existing handle must continue to be valid and it didn't fully 'change' the thread handle anyway. For pthread_main_np(), use a new flag, THREAD_ORIGINAL, to indicate that the flagged thread is the original thread for *this* process. Fixes some ConsoleKit failures according to aja@

* cleanup and consolidate the spinlock_lock (what a name!) code.tedu2013-06-011-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | it's now atomic_lock to better reflect its usage, and librthread now features a new spinlock that's really a ticket lock. thrlseep can handle both types of lock via a flag in the clock arg. (temp back compat hack) remove some old stuff that's accumulated along the way and no longer used. some feedback from dlg, who is concerned with all things ticket lock. (you need to boot a new kernel before installing librthread)
* We want to check that the dynamic linker is available at run-time, somatthew2012-08-221-9/+19
| | | | | | | | we should actually check for _DYNAMIC at run-time rather than checking for __PIC__ at compile time, since the two are actually independent. Problem and solution identified by guenther; minor tweaks by me. ok guenther

The dying thread moves itself to a GC list, other threads scan the GC list on pthread_create() and pthread_join() and free the stack and handle once the thread's thread id is zeroed.

* - Add fork/vfork wrapper functions to reset state in the child process.kurt2008-06-051-0/+177
- Make an effort to protect important libc and ld.so critical areas during the fork(2)/vfork(2) sys call. - Add pthread_atfork(3) implementation based on Daniel Eischen's code. Original diff by Philip Guenther <guenther at gmail.com> with some additions and refinements by me. Positive test report from brad@ with many kde apps. fork(2) and pthread_atfork(3) pthread regresses pass. okay tedu@, kettenis@, marc@
