  The next commit is going to introduce a new implementation of
THREAD_GSCOPE_WAIT which needs to access the list of threads.
Since it must be usable from the dynamic laoder, we have to move
the symbols for the list of threads into the loader.

Please rather use __libc_rwlock_wrlock etc.
Even if for now they are actually locks and not rwlocks, the day we fix
that the rwlocking of dl_pthread_threads_lock will get fixed alongside.

We still want to optimize for read-lock.

Apart from this it looks good, thanks!

Thanks, I did not realize there were actually more internal
synchronization primitives implemented on top of lll. I will send out
a new version shortly.

May I ask, why are rwlocks unimplemented? Is it just that nobody has
done the work, or are there some unobvious complications?

I'm asking because I happen to have an implementation of rwlocks [0]
that works (passes the test) on the Hurd. It makes use of futex
bitsets (which don't seem to be supported by gsync), but seems to work
just fine without them. And HTL of course has its own rwlocks
implementation. Would it make sense to me to spend some time to try
and write a __libc_rwlock based on them, or are there some obstacles?

This, yes, as usual :)

Well, at some point we'll probably want to just do like nptl and
simply #define __libc_rwlock pthread_rwlock, so it's probably not
worth spending time on making a separate __libc_rwlock implementation,
and rather spend it on making pthread_rwlock use gsync, like was done
for pthread_mutex and sem, and then we can just #define __libc_rwlock
pthread_rwlock.

I forgot an important point: that will also depend on moving pthread_*
from libpthread.so to libc.so, which we'll also want sooner or later.

Oh, it currently doesn't? That's horrifying. Then I'll look into that next.

Sergey

P.S. There's this other thing that is way more urgent than either
eliminating gsync_wake () calls or optimizing rwlocks. I sent you an
email a week ago. Please take a look.

I know.

My mbox is still 700 mails long.
