We have seen a number of problems caused by poll() not working properly on
Mac OSX. If you search around, you'll find a number of references to using
select() instead of poll() to work around these issues. In Asterisk, we've
had poll.c which implements poll() using select() internally. However, we
were still getting reports of problems.
vadim investigated a bit and realized that at least on his system, even
though we were compiling in poll.o, the system poll() was still being used.
So, the primary purpose of this patch is to ensure that we're using the
internal poll() when we want it to be used.
The changes are:
1) Remove logic for when internal poll should be used from the Makefile.
Instead, put it in the configure script. The logic in the configure
script is the same as it was in the Makefile. Ideally, we would have
a functionality test for the problem, but that's not actually possible,
since we would have to be able to run an application on the _target_
system to test poll() behavior.
2) Always include poll.o in the build, but it will be empty if AST_POLL_COMPAT
is not defined.
3) Change uses of poll() throughout the source tree to ast_poll(). I feel
that it is good practice to give the API call a new name when we are
changing its behavior and not using the system version directly in all cases.
So, normally, ast_poll() is just redefined to poll(). On systems where
AST_POLL_COMPAT is defined, ast_poll() is redefined to ast_internal_poll().
4) Change poll() in main/poll.c to be ast_internal_poll().
It's worth noting that any code that still uses poll() directly will work fine
(if they worked fine before). So, for example, out of tree modules that are
using poll() will not stop working or anything. However, for modules to work
properly on Mac OSX, ast_poll() needs to be used.

This patch handles some additional cases that could result in partial writes
to the file description. This was done to address complaints about partial
writes on AMI.

If the last lock attempt was a trylock, and it failed, it will still be in the
list of locks so that it can be reported.

The test is not valid. Besides, if we actually suspected that recursive
mutexes were not working, we would get a ton of LOG_ERROR messages when
DEBUG_THREADS is turned on.

a core show locks command. This will help to de-clutter output somewhat.
Russell said it would be fine to place this improvement in the 1.4 branch, so that's
why it's going here too.

via the "core show locks" command. The idea behind this section of code was
to remove the previous lock from the list if it was a trylock that had failed.
Unfortunately, instead of checking the status of the previous lock, we were referencing
the index immediately following the previous lock in the lock_info->locks array.
The result of this problem, under the right circumstances, was that the lock which
we currently in the process of attempting to acquire could "overwrite" the previous lock
which was acquired. While this does not in any way affect typical operation, it *could*
lead to misleading "core show locks" output.

is that if the lock history array was full, then the functions to mark a lock as
acquired or not would adjust the stats for whatever lock is at the end of the array,
which may not be itself. So, do a sanity check to make sure that we're updating
lock info for the proper lock.
(This explains the bizarre stats on lock #63 in BE-396, thanks Mark!)

failed to lock don't sit around in the history. When a lock is first locked,
this checks to see if the last lock in the list was one that was failed to be
locked. If it is, then that was a lock that we're no longer sitting in a trylock
loop trying to lock, so just remove it.

me in issue #11018, doesn't really make sense. There is no reason to have
the base64 decode function force a '\0' terminated buffer, when the result is
almost always binary, anyway. In fact, this caused some breakage, as some code
in res_crypto passed in a buffer exactly the right size to get its binary
result, which got stomped on by this patch.

Caused by fix for issue 9938.
I basically took the code that existed before 9938 was fixed, and
copied it into a new function - ast_unescape_semicolon
There should be very few places this will be needed (pbx_config
does NOT need this (see issue 9938 for details))

with DEBUG_THREADS enabled and provide the following:
* This will keep track of which locks are held by which thread as well as
which lock a thread is waiting for in a thread-local data structure. A
reference to this structure is available on the stack in the dummy_start()
function, which is the common entry point for all threads. This information
can be easily retrieved using gdb if you switch to the dummy_start() stack
frame of any thread and print the contents of the lock_info variable.
* All of the thread-local structures for keeping track of this lock information
are also stored in a list so that the information can be dumped to the CLI
using the "core show locks" CLI command. This introduces a little bit of a
performance hit as it requires additional underlying locking operations
inside of every lock/unlock on an ast_mutex. However, the benefits of
having this information available at the CLI is huge, especially considering
this is only done in DEBUG_THREADS mode. It means that in most cases where
we debug deadlocks, we no longer have to request access to the machine to
analyze the contents of ast_mutex_t structures. We can now just ask them
to get the output of "core show locks", which gives us all of the information
we needed in most cases.
I also had to make some additional changes to astmm.c to make this work when
both MALLOC_DEBUG and DEBUG_THREADS are enabled. I disabled tracking of one
of the locks in astmm.c because it gets used inside the replacement memory
allocation routines, and the lock tracking code allocates memory. This caused
infinite recursion.

When ast_strip_quoted was called with a zero-length string, it would treat a
NULL as if it were the quoting character (and would thus return the string
in memory immediately following the passed-in string).
