Remove libc_r threading library. It has been disconnected from the build

To be consistent, use the __weak_reference macro from

instead of #pragma weak to create weak definitions. Suggested by: bde

Add weak definitions for wrapped system calls. In general:

2001-01-24T13:03:38Z

_foo - wrapped system call foo - weak definition to _foo and for cancellation points: _foo - wrapped system call __foo - enter cancellation point, call _foo(), leave cancellation point foo - weak definition to __foo Change use of global _thread_run to call a function to get the currently running thread. Make all pthread_foo functions weak definitions to _pthread_foo, where _pthread_foo is the implementation. This allows an application to provide its own pthread functions. Provide slightly different versions of pthread_mutex_lock and pthread_mutex_init so that we can tell the difference between a libc mutex and an application mutex. Threads holding mutexes internal to libc should never be allowed to exit, call signal handlers, or cancel. Approved by: -arch

Simplify sytem call renaming. Instead of _foo() <-- _libc_foo <-- foo(),

2000-01-27T23:07:25Z

just use _foo() <-- foo(). In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this is adequate. In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo(). Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(), nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo(). Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(), tcdrain(), wait(), and waitpid(). Make thread cancellation fully POSIX-compliant. Suggested by: deischen

Track libc's three-tier symbol naming. libc_r must currently implement

2000-01-12T09:28:58Z

the _libc_*() entry points and add *() weak aliases. This will all change for the better when libc_r becomes libpthread.

add pthread_cancel, obtained from OpenBSD.

eischen (Daniel Eischen) added wrappers to protect against cancled threads orphaning internal resources. the cancelability code is still a bit fuzzy but works for test programs of my own, OpenBSD's and some examples from ORA's books. add readdir_r to both libc and libc_r add some 'const' attributes to function parameters Reviewed by: eischen, jasone
