The arguments passed to the thread function must be allocated on
the heap, rather than the stack, since it is possible for the
spawning thread to continue before the new thread runs at all.
In such a case, it is possible that the area of stack where the
thread args were stored is overwritten.
* src/util/threads-pthread.c, src/util/threads-win32.c: Allocate
thread arguments on the heap
To allow messages from different threads to be untangled,
include an integer thread identifier in log messages.
* src/util/logging.c: Include thread ID
* src/util/threads.h, src/util/threads.h, src/util/threads-pthread.c:
Add new virThreadSelfID() function
* configure.ac: Check for sys/syscall.h
The util/threads.c/h code already has APIs for mutexes,
condition variables and thread locals. This commit adds
in code for actually creating threads.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export new symbols
* src/util/threads.h: Define APIs virThreadCreate, virThreadSelf,
virThreadIsSelf and virThreadJoin
* src/util/threads-win32.c, src/util/threads-win32.h: Win32
impl of threads
* src/util/threads-pthread.c, src/util/threads-pthread.h: POSIX
impl of threads
* src/util/threads.c (includes) [WIN32]: On mingw, favor native
threading over pthreads-win32 library.
* src/util/thread.h [WIN32] Likewise.
Suggested by Daniel P. Berrange.
Add an empty body for virCondWaitUntil and move virPipeReadUntilEOF
out of the '#ifndef WIN32' block, because it compiles fine with MinGW
in combination with gnulib.
The network filter / snapshot / hooks code introduced some
non-portable pices that broke the win32 build
* configure.ac: Check for net/ethernet.h required by nwfile config
parsing code
* src/conf/nwfilter_conf.c: Define ethernet protocol constants
if net/ethernet.h is missing
* src/util/hooks.c: Disable hooks build on Win32 since it lacks
fork/exec/pipe
* src/util/threads-win32.c: Fix unchecked return value
* tools/virsh.c: Disable SIGPIPE on Win32 since it doesn't exist.
Fix non-portable strftime() formats
This patch adds recursive locks necessary due to the processing of
network filter XML that can reference other network filters, including
references that cause looks. Loops in the XML are prevented but their
detection requires recursive locks.
