Whenever getaddrinfo needed network interface information it used the
netlink interface to read the information every single time. The
problem is that this information can change at any time.
The patch implements monitoring of the network interfaces through
nscd. If no change is detected the previously read information can
be reused (which is the norm). This timestamp information is also
made available to other processes using the shared memory segment
between nscd and those processes.
getaddrinfo works around the resolver functionality to avoid automatic
IPv6 lookups. The restoring didn't allow for the resolver to set
additional bits in _res.
The getcwd syscall (so far?) can only handle path up to one page
in size. There is no limit about directory hierarchy depth, though,
and the POSIX getcwd is supposed to handle this. In that case fall
back to the generic getcwd.
Additionally, optimize the generic getcwd to use openat when possible
to change the asymptotic performance from O(N^2) to O(n).
When not using gethostbyname4 methods we immediately aborted the loop
over the nss modules on the first successful lookup. While this is
almost always what is wanted the nsswitch.conf file allows to select
something different.
The terminal output etc is not visible in a core file. The new
libc-internal variable __abort_msg will point to a string with the
message which has been printed before the abort in case abort is
called from inside libc. BZ #10217

ESRCH return value.
(_nss_dns_gethostbyname4_r): Likewise.
* resolv/res_init.c (__res_vinit): Initialize nscount to zero.
* sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c (gaih_inet): In case we use
gethostbyname4_r, we don't have a separate IPv6 status, so copy
the no_data variable.
