however, with the inline locks in malloc, skipping the lock -also eliminated the compiler barrier, and caused code that needed to -re-check chunk in-use bits after obtaining the lock to reuse a stale -value, possibly from before the process became single-threaded. this -in turn produced corruption of the heap state. - -some uses of libc.threads_minus_1 remain, especially for allocation of -new TLS in the dynamic linker; otherwise, it could be removed -entirely. it's made non-volatile to reflect that the remaining -accesses are only made under lock on the thread list. - -instead of libc.threads_minus_1, libc.threaded is now used for -skipping locks. the difference is that libc.threaded is permanently -true once an additional thread has been created. this will produce -some performance regression in processes that are mostly -single-threaded but occasionally creating threads. in the future it -may be possible to bring back the full lock-skipping, but more care -needs to be taken to produce a safe design. ---- - src/internal/libc.h | 2 +- - src/malloc/malloc.c | 2 +- - src/thread/__lock.c | 2 +- - 3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) - -diff --git a/src/internal/libc.h b/src/internal/libc.h -index ac97dc7e..c0614852 100644 ---- a/src/internal/libc.h -+++ b/src/internal/libc.h -@@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ struct __libc { - int can_do_threads;
