+
+ * Makefile (tests): Add ex8.
+ * Examples/ex8.c: New file.
+
+2000-05-12 Kaz Kylheku <kaz@ashi.footprints.net>
+
+ Bugfix: The pthread_atfork mechanism now takes care of its
+ own internal mutex at fork time.
+
+ * ptfork.c (__fork): Revised so that the mutex is held across
+ the fork operation and while the handlers are called, and so that
+ the child resets the mutex.
+ Added calls to new functions __flockallfiles and __funlockallfiles.
+
+ * linuxthreads.texi: Updated pthread_atfork documentation to make
+ it clear that fork and pthread_atfork can't be reentered from
+ atfork handlers, that pthread_atfork and fork are mutually atomic,
+ and that the handlers are inherited by the child process.
+
2000-05-24 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
* Makefile (libpthread-routines): Add pspinlock.

If there is insufficient memory available to register the handlers,
@code{pthread_atfork} fails and returns @code{ENOMEM}. Otherwise it
returns 0.
+
+The functions @code{fork} and @code{pthread_atfork} must not be regarded as
+reentrant from the context of the handlers. That is to say, if a
+@code{pthread_atfork} handler invoked from within @code{fork} calls
+@code{pthread_atfork} or @code{fork}, the behavior is undefined.
+
+Registering a triplet of handlers is an atomic operation with respect to fork.
+If new handlers are registered at about the same time as a fork occurs, either
+all three handlers will be called, or none of them will be called.
+
+The handlers are inherited by the child process, and there is no
+way to remove them, short of using @code{exec} to load a new
+pocess image.
