the notion of entering and exiting cancellation-point context has been
completely eliminated and replaced with alternative syscall assembly
code for cancellable syscalls. the assembly is responsible for setting
up execution context information (stack pointer and address of the
syscall instruction) which the cancellation signal handler can use to
determine whether the interrupted code was in a cancellable state.

these changes eliminate race conditions in the previous generation of
cancellation handling code (whereby a cancellation request received
just prior to the syscall would not be processed, leaving the syscall
to block, potentially indefinitely), and remedy an issue where
non-cancellable syscalls made from signal handlers became cancellable

13 years agowork around a nasty bug in linux readv syscall
Rich Felker [Sat, 9 Apr 2011 05:17:55 +0000 (01:17 -0400)]
work around a nasty bug in linux readv syscall

according to posix, readv "shall be equivalent to read(), except..."
that it places the data into the buffers specified by the iov array.
however on linux, when reading from a terminal, each iov element
behaves almost like a separate read. this means that if the first iov
exactly satisfied the request (e.g. a length-one read of '\n') and the
second iov is nonzero length, the syscall will block again after
getting the blank line from the terminal until another line is read.
simply put, entering a single blank line becomes impossible.

the solution, fortunately, is simple. whenever the buffer size is
nonzero, reduce the length of the requested read by one byte and let
the last byte go through the buffer. this way, readv will already be
in the second (and last) iov, and won't re-block on the second iov.

Rich Felker [Fri, 8 Apr 2011 13:24:19 +0000 (09:24 -0400)]
workaround broken msghdr struct on 64bit linux

POSIX clearly specifies the type of msg_iovlen and msg_controllen, and
Linux ignores it and makes them both size_t instead. to work around
this we add padding (instead of just using the wrong types like glibc
does), but we also need to patch-up the struct before passing it to
the kernel in case the caller did not zero-fill it.

if i could trust the kernel to just ignore the upper 32 bits, this
would not be necessary, but i don't think it will ignore them...

move rsyscall out of pthread_create module

this is something of a tradeoff, as now set*id() functions, rather
than pthread_create, are what pull in the code overhead for dealing
with linux's refusal to implement proper POSIX thread-vs-process
semantics. my motivations are:

1. it's cleaner this way, especially cleaner to optimize out the
rsyscall locking overhead from pthread_create when it's not needed.
2. it's expected that only a tiny number of core system programs will
ever use set*id() functions, whereas many programs may want to use
threads, and making thread overhead tiny is an incentive for "light"
programs to try threads.
