* implement POSIX timersRich Felker2011-03-295-0/+143
| | | | | | | | this implementation is superior to the glibc/nptl implementation, in that it gives true realtime behavior. there is no risk of timer expiration events being lost due to failed thread creation or failed malloc, because the thread is created as time creation time, and reused until the timer is deleted.
* overhaul cancellation to fix resource leaks and dangerous behavior with signalsRich Felker2011-03-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this commit addresses two issues: 1. a race condition, whereby a cancellation request occurring after a syscall returned from kernelspace but before the subsequent CANCELPT_END would cause cancellable resource-allocating syscalls (like open) to leak resources. 2. signal handlers invoked while the thread was blocked at a cancellation point behaved as if asynchronous cancellation mode wer in effect, resulting in potentially dangerous state corruption if a cancellation request occurs. the glibc/nptl implementation of threads shares both of these issues. with this commit, both are fixed. however, cancellation points encountered in a signal handler will not be acted upon if the signal was received while the thread was already at a cancellation point. they will of course be acted upon after the signal handler returns, so in real-world usage where signal handlers quickly return, it should not be a problem. it's possible to solve this problem too by having sigaction() wrap all signal handlers with a function that uses a pthread_cleanup handler to catch cancellation, patch up the saved context, and return into the cancellable function that will catch and act upon the cancellation. however that would be a lot of complexity for minimal if any benefit...
* global cleanup to use the new syscall interfaceRich Felker2011-03-206-11/+6

* if returning errno value directly from a syscall, we need to negate it.Rich Felker2011-03-191-1/+1

* syscall overhaul part two - unify public and internal syscall interfaceRich Felker2011-03-193-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | with this patch, the syscallN() functions are no longer needed; a variadic syscall() macro allows syscalls with anywhere from 0 to 6 arguments to be made with a single macro name. also, manually casting each non-integer argument with (long) is no longer necessary; the casts are hidden in the macros. some source files which depended on being able to define the old macro SYSCALL_RETURNS_ERRNO have been modified to directly use __syscall() instead of syscall(). references to SYSCALL_SIGSET_SIZE and SYSCALL_LL have also been changed. x86_64 has not been tested, and may need a follow-up commit to fix any minor bugs/oversights.
* misplaced & in times() made it fail to work, and clobber the stackRich Felker2011-03-121-1/+1

* more cancellation points: tcdrain, clock_nanosleepRich Felker2011-03-101-1/+6

* fix errno behavior in clock_* functionsRich Felker2011-03-103-3/+0
| | | | | | these functions are specified inconsistent in whether they're specified to return an error value, or return -1 and set errno. hopefully now they all match what POSIX requires.
* implement the remaining clock_* interfacesRich Felker2011-02-195-0/+36
