Before this change, a signal was delivered to each thread that
didn't have the signal masked. Signals also improperly woke up
threads waiting on I/O. With this change, signals are now
handled in the following way:
o If a thread is waiting in a sigwait for the signal,
then the thread is woken up.
o If no threads are sigwait'ing on the signal and a
thread is in a sigsuspend waiting for the signal,
then the thread is woken up.
o In the case that no threads are waiting or suspended
on the signal, then the signal is delivered to the
first thread we find that has the signal unmasked.
o If no threads are waiting or suspended on the signal,
and no threads have the signal unmasked, then the signal
is added to the process wide pending signal set. The
signal will be delivered to the first thread that unmasks
the signal.
If there is an installed signal handler, it is only invoked
if the chosen thread was not in a sigwait.
In the case that multiple threads are waiting or suspended
on a signal, or multiple threads have the signal unmasked,
we wake up/deliver the signal to the first thread we find.
The above rules still apply.

vipw and chpass as well.
Since the environment variable test is only performed for callers
of pw_scan() that do not set pw_big_ids_warning, the test can still
be overriden. Currently, chpass and pwd_mkdb are the only users
of pw_scan() and neither of them overrides the environment variable
test.
NGM_BINARY2ASCII, which convert control messages to ASCII and back.
This allows control messages to be sent and received in ASCII form
using ngctl(8), which makes ngctl a lot more useful.
This also allows all the type-specific debugging code in libnetgraph
to go away -- instead, we just ask the node itself to do the ASCII
translation for us.
Currently, all generic control messages are supported, as well as
messages associated with the following node types: async, cisco,
ksocket, and ppp.
See /usr/share/examples/netgraph/ngctl for an example of using this.
Also give ngctl(8) the ability to print out incoming data and
control messages at any time. Eventually nghook(8) may be subsumed.

mode. This addresses a well-known race condition that can cause
servers to hang in accept(). The relevant case is when somebody
connects to the server and then immediately kills the connection
by sending a TCP reset. On the server this causes select to report
a ready condition on the socket, after which the accept call blocks
because there is no longer any pending connection to accept.
In -current there is already a work-around for this in the kernel.
It was merged into -stable some time ago, but then David Greenman
reverted it because it seemed to be causing a socket leak in some
cases. (See uipc_socket.c revision 1.51.2.3.) Hence this userland
fix is needed in -stable, and I plan to merge it into that branch
soon because it fixes a potential DoS attack. It may also be needed
in -current if the suspected socket leak turns out to be real. In
any case, after thinking it over I believe the fix belongs in
userland. An application shouldn't assume that a ready return from
select guarantees that the subsequent I/O operation cannot block.
A lot can happen between the select and the accept.
A similar fix should most likely be applied to the Unix domain
socket transport too.

It used to loop back up to the accept() call and block there,
shutting out all other transports until a new connection came in.
Now it returns instead after dropping the connection. That will
take it back to the select() loop where all transports can be
serviced. I intend to MFC this within a day or two since it
fixes a DoS vulnerability.
This fixes some nasty procfs problems for SMP, makes ps(1) run much faster,

setjmp() gets the jmp_buf pointer from the wrong place (the place
where the return address is) in the shlib case, and uses it (only)
to fetch the current signal mask to address (return_address + 28).
This address is normally read-only (I hope), so the sigprocmask()

just breaks the prototypes for gzseek() and gztell() when an application
defines HAVE_UNISTD_H before including <zlib.h>. z_off_t was always
long for compiling zlib, but was sometimes off_t for compiling
applications, e.g., Ethereal 0.7.5.
This "fix" preserves bug for bug binary compatibility. z_off_t should
be off_t for everything, but zlib doesn't support off_t being longer
than long, so using the correct type without fixing zlib's internals
would at best break binary compatibility. This "fix" also make the
namespace problems for HAVE_UNISTD_H no worse than hundreds of other
namespace prooblems in zconf.h. I'll wait for a new release of zlib
for proper fixes.

-----------------------------
Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c
The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.
There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss
These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.
NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.
NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)
