sys/sys proc.h signalvar.h unistd.h user.h
sys/vm vm_glue.c
Log:
Changes to the LINUX_THREADS support to only allocate extra memory for
shared signal handling when there is shared signal handling being
used.
This removes the main objection to making the shared signal handling
a standard ability in rfork() and friends and 'unconditionalising'
this code. (i.e. the allocation of an extra 328 bytes per process).
Signal handling information remains in the U area until such a time as
it's reference count would be incremented to > 1. At that point a new
struct is malloc'd and maintained in KVM so that it can be shared between
the processes (threads) using it.
A function to check the reference count and move the struct back to the U
area when it drops back to 1 is also supplied. Signal information is
therefore now swapable for all processes that are not sharing that
information with other processes. THis should addres the concerns raised
by Garrett and others.
