      fix ctype macros to cast argument to (unsigned) first · 7e14ed13
      Rich Felker 提交于
      issue reported by nsz, but it's actually not just pedantic. the
      functions can take input of any arithmetic type, including floating
      point, and the behavior needs to be as if the conversion implicit in
      the function call took place.

      another cond var fix: requeue count race condition · 3bec53e0
      Rich Felker 提交于
      lock out new waiters during the broadcast. otherwise the wait count
      added to the mutex might be lower than the actual number of waiters
      moved, and wakeups may be lost.
      
      this issue could also be solved by temporarily setting the mutex
      waiter count higher than any possible real count, then relying on the
      kernel to tell us how many waiters were requeued, and updating the
      counts afterwards. however the logic is more complex, and i don't
      really trust the kernel. the solution here is also nice in that it
      replaces some atomic cas loops with simple non-atomic ops under lock.

      fix lost signals in cond vars · 1fa05210
      Rich Felker 提交于
      due to moving waiters from the cond var to the mutex in bcast, these
      waiters upon wakeup would steal slots in the count from newer waiters
      that had not yet been signaled, preventing the signal function from
      taking any action.
      
      to solve the problem, we simply use two separate waiter counts, and so
      that the original "total" waiters count is undisturbed by broadcast
      and still available for signal.

      cleanup various minor issues reported by nsz · fd142e5e
      Rich Felker 提交于
      the changes to syscall_ret are mostly no-ops in the generated code,
      just cleanup of type issues and removal of some implementation-defined
      behavior. the one exception is the change in the comparison value,
      which is fixed so that 0xf...f000 (which in principle could be a valid
      return value for mmap, although probably never in reality) is not
      treated as an error return.

      redo cond vars again, use sequence numbers · 729d6368
      Rich Felker 提交于
      testing revealed that the old implementation, while correct, was
      giving way too many spurious wakeups due to races changing the value
      of the condition futex. in a test program with 5 threads receiving
      broadcast signals, the number of returns from pthread_cond_wait was
      roughly 3 times what it should have been (2 spurious wakeups for every
      legitimate wakeup). moreover, the magnitude of this effect seems to
      grow with the number of threads.
      
      the old implementation may also have had some nasty race conditions
      with reuse of the cond var with a new mutex.
      
      the new implementation is based on incrementing a sequence number with
      each signal event. this sequence number has nothing to do with the
      number of threads intended to be woken; it's only used to provide a
      value for the futex wait to avoid deadlock. in theory there is a
      danger of race conditions due to the value wrapping around after 2^32
      signals. it would be nice to eliminate that, if there's a way.
      
      testing showed no spurious wakeups (though they are of course
      possible) with the new implementation, as well as slightly improved
      performance.

      revert previous change in cond var waiter move · c11d1e69
      Rich Felker 提交于
      using swap has a race condition: the waiters must be added to the
      mutex waiter count *before* they are taken off the cond var waiter
      count, or wake events can be lost.
