Previously, glibc would pick an arbitrary tmpfs file system from
/proc/mounts if /dev/shm was not available. This could lead to
an unsuitable file system being picked for the backing storage for
shm_open, sem_open, and related functions.
This patch introduces a new function, __shm_get_name, which builds
the file name under the appropriate (now hard-coded) directory. It is
called from the various shm_* and sem_* function. Unlike the
SHM_GET_NAME macro it replaces, the callers handle the return values
and errno updates. shm-directory.c is moved directly into the posix
subdirectory because it can be implemented directly using POSIX
functionality. It resides in libc because it is needed by both
librt and nptl/htl.
In the sem_open implementation, tmpfname is initialized directly
from a string constant. This happens to remove one alloca call.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
