- Remove sanity checks for initialized mutexes and condition variables. This
significantly boosts performance. The checks can be turned back on by
compiling libmthread with MTHREAD_STRICT. According to POSIX operations on
uninitialized variables are a MAY fail if, therefore allowing this
optimization.
- Test59 has to be accommodated to the lack of sanity checks on uninitialized
variables in the library. It specifically tests for them and will run into
segfaults when the checks are absent in the library.
- Fix a few bugs related to the scheduler
- Do some general code cleanups
This patch fixes some wrong error code number in nbsd libc's sys/errno.h
and adds new ones.
As in NetBSD the errno.h is used to automatically generate errlist.c array,
EBADCPU set to 1000 to be a bit too large, so we instruct the awk script
to stop at EDEADEPT (ELAST).
This patch changes the NBSD libc stat implemenation and adds
fstat (and headers), taken from current libc.
It also adds weaks alias to functions in the resolver that
were removed from public use in NetBSD but that are still
used by Minix, and fixes a NetBSD non-REENTRANT bug in
in gen/initdir.c.
This patch add a few weak_alias forgotten, so that non-internal
symbols are defined to be used from application.
Modifying only the minix-specific part, this patch needs no update
to minix-port.patch.
This patch mainly copies and modifies files existing in
the current libc implementing minix specific functions.
To keep consisten with the NetBSD libc, we remove
namespace stubs and we use "namespace.h" and weak
links.
This patch contains changes to NetBSD libc code base to make it
compile and work on Minix. Some of them are due to actual NetBSD
libc bugs, as we're compiling it in non-reentrant mode and with
a.out support, something not exactly frequent in NetBSD.
Others are proper fixes to port it to Minix (mostly sa_len
parameter missing in socket and a few mmap from files).
This patch imports the unmodified current version of NetBSD libc.
The NetBSD includes are in /nbsd_include, while the libc code itself is
split between lib/nbsd_libc and common/lib/libc.

this is a fix for e.g. the situation where lots of processes die
instantly, and PM has to send an asyn msg for each one to VFS, and
panics if there are too many. there are likely more situations in
which this table should be dependent on the no. of processes.
reported by pikpik on #minix3.
Before, the 'main thread' of a process was never taken into account anywhere in
the library, causing mutexes not to work properly (and consequently, neither
did the condition variables). For example, if the 'main thread' (that is, the
thread which is started at the beginning of a process; not a spawned thread by
the library) would lock a mutex, it wasn't actually locked.
- profile --nmi | --rtc sets the profiling mode
- --rtc is default, uses BIOS RTC, cannot profile kernel the presetted
frequency values apply
- --nmi is only available in APIC mode as it uses the NMI watchdog, -f
allows any frequency in Hz
- both modes use compatible data structures
