uClibc thread-safety analysis
By Steve Thayer <sthayer@coactive.com>
with updates by Erik Andersen <andersee@debian.org>

Introduction:

The purpose of this document is to identify the things that need to be done
to the uClibc C library in order to make it thread-safe.  The goal is to be
able to use a pthreads thread implementation under uClinux, using the uClibc
C library.  To help identify the things that require changing, I used David R.
Butenhof's book Programming With POSIX Threads, the source code for the
glibc 2.1.3 C library, and the source code for the C library included in the
Proventhreads distribution.

1. Stdio:

1.1 Buffer access mutexes

        The following functions are required in order to protect shared
        I/O buffers from being accessed by more than one thread at a time.
        None of these functions are currently implemented in the uClibc
        library, so they must be added.

        flockfile               <required>                              <---
        ftrylockfile            <required>                              <---
        funlockfile             <required>                              <---

1.2 Functions that must use buffer access mutexes, according to Butenhof

        The following functions are identified by Butenhof as needing to use
        buffer access mutexes.  This does not represent all functions that
        need to use the mutexes.

        getc                    <mutex required>                        <---
        getchar                 <mutex required>                        <---
        putc                    <mutex required>                        <---
        putchar                 <mutex required>                        <---

1.3 Functions from glibc (libio) that use buffer access mutexes

        The following functions are functions found in glibc that currently
        use the buffer access mutexes.  Comments in brackets represent
        status of uClibc with regard to these functions.  Most of these
        functions aren't even supported under uClibc, so no work is required.
        The rest may require the access mutex. (These must be analyzed on a
        case-by-case basis.)

        clearerr                <mutex required>                        <---

1.4 Functions from Proventhreads that use buffer access mutexes

        See description above.  This applies only to the C library included
        in the proventhreads distribution.

1.5 Unlocked buffer access

        These functions get used in situations where speed is important,
        and locking isn't necessary, or for use in a section of code that
        is already locked.  For example, a for-loop that makes multiple calls
        to getc could make an exlicit call to flockfile outside the loop, and
        then use getc_unlocked within the loop for speed.  That way, the lock
        only needs to be grabbed and released once, rather than for each call.

        getc_unlocked           <required>                              <---
        getchar_unlocked        <required>                              <---
        putc_unlocked           <required>                              <---
        putchar_unlocked        <required>                              <---

1.6 Additional unlocked calls made in glibc

        These are additional functions (not mentioned by Butenhof) that the
        glibc library uses for unlocked buffer access.  Though not strictly
        necessary, these may be nice to have in uClibc.

        fileno_unlocked         <desired>                               <---
        clearerr_unlocked       <desired>                               <---
        feof_unlocked           <desired>                               <---
        ferror_unlocked         <desired>                               <---
        fputc_unlocked          <desired>                               <---
        fgetc_unlocked          <desired>                               <---
        fflush_unlocked         <desired>                               <---
        fread_unlocked          <desired>                               <---
        fwrite_unlocked         <desired>                               <---
        fgets_unlocked          <desired>                               <---
        fputs_unlocked          <desired>                               <---

1.7 Additional unlocked calls made in Proventhreads

        Proventhreads only provides the four unlocked function calls above.

        <none>


2. Thread-safe functions:

	There are some functions in the C library standard that are
	simply not thread-safe and cannot be thread-safe using their
	current interface.  For example, any function that returns a
	pointer to static data, or requires static context between
	calls.  To resolve this problem, new functions were added to
	the standard that perform the same basic task, but use a new
	interface that does not require static data.  These functions
	share their name with the old unsafe functions, but have an
	"_r" appended to the name.  By definition, these functions are
	reentrant and thread-safe.  It is important to note that these
	functions to do not depend on <pthread.h> and can be used even
	if threading is not supported.

2.1 User and terminal identification:

        getlogin_r              <implemented>
        ctermid                 <implemented>                           (1)
        ttyname_r               <required>                              <---

        1. ctermid is a special case.  The signature has not changed, but a
        requirement has been added that its parameter point to a structure
        of exactly L_ctermid bytes.  

2.2 Directory searching

        readdir_r               <required>                              <---

2.3 String token

        strtok_r                <implemented>

2.4 Time representation

        asctime_r               <implemented>
        ctime_r                 <implemented>
        gmtime_r                <implemented>
        localtime_r             <implemented>

2.5 Random number generation

        rand_r                  <required>                              <---

2.6 Group and user database

        getgrgid_r              <required>                              <---
        getgrnam_r              <required>                              <---
        getpwuid_r              <implemented>
        getpwnam_r              <implemented>

2.7 Additional thread-safe functions implemented by glibc

        The following is a list of additional functions implemented by glibc
        that also provide thread-safe functionality.  Most of these functions
        are not supported by uClibc, so there is no need to implement the
        thread-safe version.  Those that do apply, but have not been
        implemented yet are highlighted.

3. List of functions in uClibc that use static data structures

        The following is a list of static data structures found in uClibc,
        and the functions that use them.  In most cases, static data is not
        thread-safe, since multiple threads can access the same data at the
        same time.  This is an attempt to identify all of the static data that
        is not considered thread-safe.  Some of these problems will get
        resolved by the changes outlines above.

        crypt/crypt.c:

        static struct crypt_data __crypt_data;

        crypt                   <crypt_r implemented>
        setkey                  <setkey_r implemented>

        crypt/md5.c:

        static unsigned char PADDING[64]        <fix desired>           <---

        NOTE: This is okay, but should use the const keyword.

        static struct rpc_errtab rpc_errlist[]
        static struct auth_errtab auth_errlist[]

        NOTE: These static structures all have #if 0 around them, so they
        do not get compiled in.  Hopefully, we don't have to worry about
        them right now, but prehaps a comment should be added to the code
        indicating that it is not thread-safe.

        NOTE: This static structure is just a group of function pointers.
        It could probably be made const, but this might affect the function
        signature.  This should be investigated further.

        NOTE: This looks like a bug.  This static timeout value is passed
        by reference to a select() call.  According to the linux man page
        for select:

                "On  Linux,  timeout  is  modified to reflect the amount of
                time not slept; most other implementations do not do this.
                This  causes  problems  both  when  Linux code which reads
                timeout is ported to other  operating  systems,  and  when
                code  is  ported to Linux that reuses a struct timeval for
                multiple selects in  a  loop  without  reinitializing  it.
                Consider timeout to be undefined after select returns."

        Unless the implementation of select is different than that of Linux,
        this needs to be fixed!

4. List of functions that use global variables

	The following is a list of functions that make use of global
	variables.  Since multiple threads can access the same global
	variable at the same time, access should be considered unsafe.
	This is an attempt to identify all the areas where global
	variables are used.  This does not necessarily mean that each
	of these is unsafe.  It just means that there is a potential
	for them to be unsafe.  If this code never runs in more than
	one thread, then there's no problem.  More ivestigation will be
	required to determine if changes are really required.

        Global variable:

        __environ (misc/internals/__uClibc_main.c)

        __uClibc_main.c:

        __uClibc_main           <fix required?>                         (1)

        1: This should only get executed once, so it is probably fine.
        
        stdlib/getenv.c:

        stdlib/setenv.c:

        NOTE: Not sure if multiple threads can be in this code or not.

        --------------------------------------------------------------------

        Global variable:

        environ (misc/internals/__uClibc_main.c)

        NOTE: This is a weak alias for __environ, but it doesn't ever get

        Global variable:
