The internal semaphore list code is moved to a specific file,
sem_routine.c, and the internal usage is simplified to only two
functions (one to insert a new semaphore and one to remove it
from the internal list). There is no need to expose the
internal locking, neither how the semaphore mapping is implemented.
No functional or semantic change is expected, tested on
x86_64-linux-gnu.
Previously, glibc would pick an arbitrary tmpfs file system from
/proc/mounts if /dev/shm was not available. This could lead to
an unsuitable file system being picked for the backing storage for
shm_open, sem_open, and related functions.
This patch introduces a new function, __shm_get_name, which builds
the file name under the appropriate (now hard-coded) directory. It is
called from the various shm_* and sem_* function. Unlike the
SHM_GET_NAME macro it replaces, the callers handle the return values
and errno updates. shm-directory.c is moved directly into the posix
subdirectory because it can be implemented directly using POSIX
functionality. It resides in libc because it is needed by both
librt and nptl/htl.
In the sem_open implementation, tmpfname is initialized directly
from a string constant. This happens to remove one alloca call.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
