Implement allocate_once.
* include/allocate_once.h: New file.
* misc/allocate_once.c: Likewise.
* misc/tst-allocate_once.c: Likewise.
* misc/Makefile (routines): Add allocate_once.
(tests-internal): Add tst-allocate_once.
(generated): Add tst-allocate_once.mtrace,
tst-allocate_once-mem.out.
(tests-special): Add tst-allocate_once-mem.out.
(tst-allocate_once-ENV): Set MALLOC_TRACE.
(tst-allocate_once-mem.out): Call mtrace.
* misc/Versions (GLIBC_PRIVATE): Add __libc_allocate_once_slow.

/* Return an a pointer to an allocated and initialized data structure.
If this function returns a non-NULL value, the caller can assume
that pointed-to data has been initialized according to the ALLOCATE
function.
It is expected that callers define an inline helper function which
adds type safety, like this.
struct foo { ... };
struct foo *global_foo;
static void *allocate_foo (void *closure);
static void *deallocate_foo (void *closure, void *ptr);
static inline struct foo *
get_foo (void)
{
return allocate_once (&global_foo, allocate_foo, free_foo, NULL);
}
(Note that the global_foo variable is initialized to zero.)
Usage of this helper function looks like this:
struct foo *local_foo = get_foo ();
if (local_foo == NULL)
report_allocation_failure ();
allocate_once first performs an acquire MO load on *PLACE. If the
result is not null, it is returned. Otherwise, ALLOCATE (CLOSURE)
is called, yielding a value RESULT. If RESULT equals NULL,
allocate_once returns NULL, and does not modify *PLACE (but another
thread may concurrently perform an allocation which succeeds,
updating *PLACE). If RESULT does not equal NULL, the function uses
a CAS with acquire-release MO to update the NULL value in *PLACE
with the RESULT value. If it turns out that *PLACE was updated
concurrently, allocate_once calls DEALLOCATE (CLOSURE, RESULT) to
undo the effect of ALLOCATE, and returns the new value of *PLACE
(after an acquire MO load). If DEALLOCATE is NULL, free (RESULT)
is called instead.
Compared to __libc_once, allocate_once has the advantage that it
does not need separate space for a control variable, and that it is
safe with regards to cancellation and other forms of exception
handling if the supplied callback functions are safe in that
regard. allocate_once passes a closure parameter to the allocation
function, too. */
