Mark Geisert 641ecb0753 Cygwin: Implement sched_[gs]etaffinity()
This patch set implements the Linux syscalls sched_getaffinity,
sched_setaffinity, pthread_getaffinity_np, and pthread_setaffinity_np.
Linux has a straightforward view of the cpu sets used in affinity masks.
They are simply long (1024-bit) bit masks.  This code emulates that view
while internally dealing with Windows' distribution of available CPUs among
processor groups.

Corinna Vinschen ad101bcb0f Rename <xlocale.h> back to <sys/_locale.h>
libX11 provides <X11/Xlocale.h>.  The build of libX11 itself adds
include/X11 to the compiler's include path.  This results in a name
collision with /usr/include/xlocale.h on case-insensitive filesystems.

Commit 90e35b1eb3 renamed sys/_locale.h to xlocale.h in March 2017 under
the assumption that we should provide the locale_t type in the same file
as on Linux, FreeBSD, and Darwin.

A few weeks later (June 2017), glibc removed the xlocale.h file in favor
of bits/types/locale_t.h, which shouldn't be included directly anyway.

For reference and the reasoning, see
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=f0be25b6336d

Given the above, revert 90e35b1eb3 and
fix additional usage of xlocale.h.

Corinna Vinschen b5e1003722 Cygwin: processes: use dedicated Cygwin PID rather than Windows PID
Using the Windows PID as Cygwin PID has a few drawbacks:

- the PIDs on Windows get reused quickly.  Some POSIX applications choke
  on that, so we need extra code to avoid too quick PID reuse.

- The code to avoid PID reuse keeps parent process handles and
  (depending on a build option) child processes open unnecessarily.

- After an execve, the process has a split personality:  Its Windows PID
  is a new PID, while its Cygwin PID is the PID of the execve caller
  process.  This requires to keep two procinfo shared sections open, the
  second just to redirect process info requests to the first, correct
  one.

This patch changes the way Cygwin PIDs are generated:

- Cygwin PIDs are generated independently of the Windows PID, in a way
  expected by POSIX processes.  The PIDs are created incrementally in
  the range between 2 and 65535, round-robin.

- On startup of the first Cygwin process, choose a semi-random start PID
  for the first process in the lower PID range to make the PIDs slightly
  unpredictable.  This may not be necessary but it seems kind of inviting
  to know that the first Cygwin process always starts with PID 2.

- Every process not only creates the shared procinfo section, but also a
  symlink in the NT namespace, symlinking the Windows PID to the Cygwin
  PID.  This drops the need for the extra procinfo section after execve.

- Don't keep other process handles around unnecessarily.

- Simplify the code creating/opening the shared procinfo section and
  make a clear distinction between interfaces getting a Cygwin PID and
  interfaces getting a Windows PID.

Date:   Thu, 14 Apr 2016 06:54:57 +0000

Remove union wait [BZ #19613]

The overloading approach in the W* macros was incompatible with
integer expressions of a type different from int.  Applications
using union wait and these macros will have to migrate to the
POSIX-specified int status type.

Jon Turney d0a359f6d2 Implement getloadavg()
v2:
autoload PerfDataHelper functions
Keep loadavg in shared memory
Guard loadavg access by a mutex
Initialize loadavg to the current load

v3:
Shared memory version bump isn't needed if we are only extending it
Remove unused autoload
Mark inititalized flags as NO_COPY for correct behaviour in fork child

Yaakov Selkowitz 90e35b1eb3 Rename <sys/_locale.h> to <xlocale.h>
The locale_t type is provided by <xlocale.h> on Linux, FreeBSD, and Darwin.
While, like on some of those systems, it is automatically included by
<locale.h> with the proper feature test macros, its presence under this
particular name is still presumed in real-world software.

Jon Turney c549e953a9 Fix some broken links in Cygwin FAQ
GNU no longer encourages the use of documentation mirrors, to avoid
referring to obsolete documentation.  Also www.fsf.org/manual/ is
just a redirect to www.gnu.org/manual/

Links to using-utils.html #fragments are no longer correct as each utility
is now a separate page, since 646745cb.

indiana.edu seems to have moved XLiveCD information, without a redirect.

Linking to clean_setup.pl on cygwin.com doesn't work, as direct downloads
aren't allowed, so instead state where it can be found on a mirror.

Jon Turney fdb7df230d Add pthread_getname_np and pthread_setname_np
This patch adds pthread_getname_np and pthread_setname_np.

These were added to glibc in 2.12[1] and are also present in some form on
NetBSD and several UNIXes.

The code is based on NetBSD's implementation with changes to better match
Linux behaviour.

Implementation quirks:

* pthread_setname_np with a NULL pointer segfaults (as linux)

* pthread_setname_np returns ERANGE for names longer than 16 characters (as
linux)

* pthread_getname_np with a NULL pointer returns EFAULT (as linux)

* pthread_getname_np with a buffer length of less than 16 returns ERANGE (as
linux)

* pthread_getname_np truncates the thread name to fit the buffer length.
This guarantees success even when the default thread name is longer than 16
characters, but means there is no way to discover the actual length of the
thread name. (Linux always truncates the thread name to 16 characters)

* Changing program_invocation_short_name changes the default thread name (on
linux, it has no effect on the default thread name)

I'll leave it up to you to decide if any of these matter.

This is implemented via class pthread_attr to make it easier to add
pthread_attr_[gs]etname_np (present in NetBSD and some UNIXes) should it
ever be added to Linux (or we decide we want it anyway).
