Convert waitsec to a long long to be able to hold the full domain of
alarm(3) timeout on all platforms, and let strtonum(3) handle the input
validation. strtonum(3) also happens to provide a neater interface for
error handling, and it already includes our pre-existing empty input

This is most useful inside a shell script, allowing one to lock just
portions of a script rather than having to wrap the entire script in a

None of these are essential in the lockf monitor (parent post-fork), so
close them to maintain the illusion that lockf hasn't been inserted into
the pipeline. This ensures that the correct effects happen on other
programs in the pipeline if the locked command closes or redirects these
elsewhere.
The original patch used -s to close stdout/stderr rather than closing
them unconditionally, but it's not clear that we really care that much.
kevans dropped that part when taking the patch, patch is otherwise by
listed author.

The error message is expected, allow -s to suppress just that one since
it would loosely fall under the definition of "failure to acquire the
lock" described in the manpage for the -s option.

By default, lockf(1) opens its lock file O_RDONLY|O_EXLOCK. On NFS, if the
file already exists, this is split into opening the file read-only and then
requesting an exclusive lock -- and the second step fails because NFS does
not permit exclusive locking on files which are opened read-only.
The new -w option changes the open flags to O_WRONLY|O_EXLOCK, allowing it
to work on NFS -- at the cost of not working if the file cannot be opened
for writing.
(Whether the traditional BSD behaviour of allowing exclusive locks to be
obtained on a file which cannot be opened for writing is a good idea is
perhaps questionable since it may allow less-privileged users to perform
a local denial of service; however this behaviour has been present for a
long time and changing it now seems like it would cause problems.)

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

lock experienced contention a number of processes would race to acquire
lock when it was released. This problem resulted in a lot of CPU
load as well as locks being picked up out of order.
Unfortunately, a regression snuck in which allowed multiple threads
to pickup the same lock when -k was not used. This could occur when
multiple processes open a file descriptor to inode X (one process
will be blocked) and the file is unlinked on unlock (thereby removing
the directory entry allow another process to create a new directory
entry for the same file name and lock it).
This changes restores the old algorithm of: wait for the lock, then
acquire lock when we want to unlink the file on exit (specifically
when -k is not used) and keeps the new algorithm for when -k is used,
which yields fairness and improved performance.
Also, update the man page to inform users that if lockf(1) is being
used to facilitate concurrency between a number of processes, it
is recommended that -k be used to reduce CPU load and yeld
fairness with regard to lock ordering.

Add a flags argument to wait_for_lock so that O_NONBLOCK can be
passed to open if a user doesn't want the open to sleep until the
lock becomes available.
Submitted by: Amir Shalem (partially modified)
for mutual exclusion:
A brief description of the problem:
1) Proc A picks up non-blocking lock on file X
2) Proc B attempts to pickup lock, fails then waits
3) Proc C attempts to pickup lock, fails then waits
4) Proc A releases lock
5) Proc B acquires lock, release it to pickup a non-blocking version
6) Proc C acquires lock, release it to pickup a non-blocking version
7) Both process B and C race each other to pickup lock again
This occurs mainly because the processes do not keep the lock after they have
been waiting on it. They drop it, attempt to re-acquire it. (They use the wait
to notify when the lock has become available then race to pick it up). This
results in additional CPU utilization during the race, and can also result
in processes picking locks up out of order.
This change attempts to correct this problem by eliminating the test/acquire
race and having the operating system handle it.
