Hi, this is a call for testers. I am looking for people willing to test the patch at http://http://people.freebsd.org/~kan/rtld1.diff on non-i386 architectures. The patch unifies legacy locking code into a single platform independent implementation using machine/atomic.h macros. This is done in preparation for a new locking interface in rtld and in order to simplify the future maintenance. I believe disasters are highly unlikely, but make sure you have an old copy of your /usr/libexec/rtld-elf.so.1 available nonetheless. Large multithreaded applications like mozilla of KDE are of special interest. Please let me know of any new failures you didn;t see before the patch. Thanks in advance, -- Alexander Kabaev
