2013-06-26fix temp file leak in sem_open on successful creation of new semaphoreRich Felker-2/+2
2013-06-26fix bug whereby sem_open leaked its own internal slots on failureRich Felker-3/+6
2013-06-26in sem_open, don't leak vm mapping if fstat failsRich Felker-2/+2
fstat should not fail under normal circumstances, so this fix is mostly theoretical.
2012-09-30protect sem_open against cancellationRich Felker-13/+19
also fix one minor bug: failure to free the early-reserved slot when the semaphore later found to already be mapped.
2012-09-30overhaul sem_openRich Felker-105/+96
this function was overly complicated and not even obviously correct. avoid using openat/linkat just like in shm_open, and instead expand pathname using code shared with shm_open. remove bogus (and dangerous, with priorities) use of spinlocks. this commit also heavily streamlines the code and ensures there are no failure cases that can happen after a new semaphore has been created in the filesystem, since that case is unreportable.
2012-09-29sem_open should make process-shared semaphoresRich Felker-1/+1
this did not matter because we don't yet treat process-shared special. when private futex support is added, however, it will matter.
2012-09-29use O_CLOEXEC to open semaphore files in sem_openRich Felker-2/+2
2011-06-26fix useless use of potentially-uninitialized mode variable in sem_openRich Felker-1/+1
2011-03-10fix failure behavior of sem_open when sem does not existRich Felker-1/+5
2011-03-10fix sem_open and sem_close to obey posix semanticsRich Felker-26/+80
multiple opens of the same named semaphore must return the same pointer, and only the last close can unmap it. thus the ugly global state keeping track of mappings. the maximum number of distinct named semaphores that can be opened is limited sufficiently small that the linear searches take trivial time, especially compared to the syscall overhead of these functions.
