      add proper fuxed-based locking for stdio · dba68bf9
      Rich Felker 提交于
      previously, stdio used spinlocks, which would be unacceptable if we
      ever add support for thread priorities, and which yielded
      pathologically bad performance if an application attempted to use
      flockfile on a key file as a major/primary locking mechanism.
      
      i had held off on making this change for fear that it would hurt
      performance in the non-threaded case, but actually support for
      recursive locking had already inflicted that cost. by having the
      internal locking functions store a flag indicating whether they need
      to perform unlocking, rather than using the actual recursive lock
      counter, i was able to combine the conditionals at unlock time,
      eliminating any additional cost, and also avoid a nasty corner case
      where a huge number of calls to ftrylockfile could cause deadlock
      later at the point of internal locking.
      
      this commit also fixes some issues with usage of pthread_self
      conflicting with __attribute__((const)) which resulted in crashes with
      some compiler versions/optimizations, mainly in flockfile prior to
      pthread_create.

      major stdio overhaul, using readv/writev, plus other changes · e3cd6c5c
      Rich Felker 提交于
      the biggest change in this commit is that stdio now uses readv to fill
      the caller's buffer and the FILE buffer with a single syscall, and
      likewise writev to flush the FILE buffer and write out the caller's
      buffer in a single syscall.
      
      making this change required fundamental architectural changes to
      stdio, so i also made a number of other improvements in the process:
      
      - the implementation no longer assumes that further io will fail
        following errors, and no longer blocks io when the error flag is set
        (though the latter could easily be changed back if desired)
      
      - unbuffered mode is no longer implemented as a one-byte buffer. as a
        consequence, scanf unreading has to use ungetc, to the unget buffer
        has been enlarged to hold at least 2 wide characters.
      
      - the FILE structure has been rearranged to maintain the locations of
        the fields that might be used in glibc getc/putc type macros, while
        shrinking the structure to save some space.
      
      - error cases for fflush, fseek, etc. should be more correct.
      
      - library-internal macros are used for getc_unlocked and putc_unlocked
        now, eliminating some ugly code duplication. __uflow and __overflow
        are no longer used anywhere but these macros. switch to read or
        write mode is also separated so the code can be better shared, e.g.
        with ungetc.
      
      - lots of other small things.
