lib/libc/stdlib malloc.c
Log:
Delete the XXX comments that refer to spinlock recursion. The malloc/free/
realloc functions check for recursion within the malloc code itself. In
a thread-safe library, the single spinlock ensures that no two threads
go inside the protected code at the same time. The thread implementation
is responsible for ensuring that the spinlock does in fact protect malloc.
There was a window of opportunity in which this was not the case. I'll fix
that with a commit RSN.
