This makes us in line with SunOS 4.1.3_U1, Solaris 2.6, OpenBSD 2.3,
HP-UX 10.20, Irix 5.3.  The previous behavior was in line with Ultrix 4.4.

Alexander Langer d988805a1f Back out part of previous commit (even though it's technically correct).
Our spinlock implementation allows a particular thread to obtain a lock
multiple times, but release the lock with a single unlock call.  Since
we're detecting recursion, we know the lock is already owned by the
current thread in a previous call and must not be released in the
current call.  This is really far too dependent on this particular
spinlock implementation, so I've added commented out calls to
THREAD_UNLOCK in the appropriate places.  We can activate this code when
spinlock is taught to count each lock operation.

Warner Losh e8420087b0 Replace memory leaking instances of realloc with non-leaking reallocf.
In some cases replace if (a == null) a = malloc(x); else a =
realloc(a, x); with simple reallocf(a, x).  Per ANSI-C, this is
guaranteed to be the same thing.

I've been running these on my system here w/o ill effects for some
time.  However, the CTM-express is at part 6 of 34 for the CAM
changes, so I've not been able to do a build world with the CAM in the
tree with these changes.  Shouldn't impact anything, but...

Warner Losh 94ad719cf4 Add reallocf to the library. This function is simliar to realloc, but
when it returns NULL to indicate failure, it will also free the memory
that was passed to it, if that was non-null.

This does not change the semantics of realloc.

A second commit will be done to commit the conversion of those places in
the code that can safely use this to avoid memory leaks when confronted
with low memory situations.

Garrett Wollman b4b4fb871e A small last-minute iitem for 3.0:
- Fix some style errors I made back in 1995.

- Add a new flavor of the err(3) family, which takes an explicit
  errno argument rather than implicitly examining errno.  This
  will make it easier to use these functions in conjunction with
  modern library interfaces that return an errno value explicitly.

John Polstra cfa4d73988 Add a new library function getobjformat(). It checks all the
standard places ("/etc/objformat", ${OBJFORMAT}, argv) for an
indication of the user's preferred object file format.  This
consolidates some code that was starting to be duplicated in more
and more places.

Use the new function in ldconfig.

Note: I don't think that gcc should use getobjformat(), even though
it could.  The compiler should limit itself to functions that are
widespread, to ease porting and cross-compilation.

John Polstra cb690d1f0b Implement the weak aliases for private entry points in the inet_*
and res_* modules in a way that works for ELF.  I moved the aliases
out of res_stubs.c and into the individual modules where the entry
points are defined.  Weak aliases don't work in ELF unless that is
the case.  (Actually, I'm surprised it worked for a.out.)

This should fix the undefined "inet_addr" and related symbols in
various applications that fail to include <arpa/inet.h> or
<resolv.h> as they are supposed to do.

I have test this on 2.2-stable before, but I don't have a 3.0 machine

This patch is mainly to make libc support BIG5 encoding, thus add
zh_TW.BIG5 locale to 3.0.
