With uv_replace_allocator, it's possible to override the default
memory allocator's malloc and free calls with functions of the user's
choosing. This allows libuv to interoperate with projects requiring a
custom memory allocator.
Internally, all calls to malloc and free have been replaced with
uv__malloc and uv__free, respectively. The uv__malloc and uv__free
functions call malloc and free unless they have been overridden by a
previous call to uv_replace_allocator.
As part of this change, the special aligned memory allocations
performed in src/win/fs-event.c have been replaced with standard
allocations. The 4-byte alignment being requested in this file was
unnecessary, since standard allocators already guarantee at least an
8-byte alignment.

I'm not 100% sure whether the behavior of readlink() with size=0 is
well-defined on Solaris; it can return either 0 or fail with EINVAL.
POSIX is not explicit about the mandated behavior.
This commit adds a little caution and makes it skip the readlink()
call when size=1 and simply writes the terminating zero byte.

Add a per-event loop flag for blocking SIGPROF signals when polling for
events.
The motivation for this addition is to reduce the number of wakeups and
subsequent clock_gettime() system calls when using a sampling profiler.
On Linux, this switches from epoll_wait() to epoll_pwait() when enabled.
Other platforms bracket the poll syscall with pthread_sigmask() calls.

When fd is closed and new one (with the same number) is opened inside
kqueue/epoll/port loop's callback - stale events might invoke callbacks
on wrong watchers.
Check if watcher was changed after invocation and invalidate all events
with the same fd.
fix#826
On some systems, clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) is only serviced from
the vDSO when the __vdso_clock_gettime() wrapper is confident enough
that the vDSO timestamp is highly accurate. When in doubt, it falls
back to making a traditional SYS_clock_gettime system call with all
the overhead that entails.
While a commendable approach, it's overkill for our purposes because we
don't usually need high precision time. That's why this commit switches
to CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE for low-precision timekeeping, provided said
clock has at least a one millisecond resolution.
This change should eliminate the system call on almost all systems,
including virtualized ones, provided the kernel is >= 2.6.32 and glibc
is new enough to find and parse the vDSO.
Ensure that close() system calls don't close stdio file descriptors
because that is almost never the intention.
This is also a partial workaround for a kernel bug that seems to affect
all Linux kernels when stdin is a pipe that gets closed: fd 0 keeps
signalling EPOLLHUP but a subsequent call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DEL)
fails with EBADF. See joyent/node#6271 for details and a test case.
This commit changes the libuv API to return error codes directly rather
than storing them in a loop-global field.
A code snippet like this one:
if (uv_foo(loop) < 0) {
uv_err_t err = uv_last_error(loop);
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
}
Should be rewritten like this:
int err = uv_foo(loop);
if (err < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
The rationale for this change is that it should make creating bindings
for other languages a lot easier: dealing with struct return values is
painful with most FFIs and often downright buggy.
Fix a potential use-after-free bug where the uv__io watcher struct is
referenced after being disabled by its callback function. The stress
is on 'potential' because in practice the watcher's memory is not
released until the next tick of the event loop.
Include the netmask when returning information about the OS network
interfaces.
This commit provides implementations for windows and those unix
platforms using getifaddrs().
AIX was not implemented because it requires the use of ioctls and I do
not have an AIX development/test environment. The windows code was
developed using mingw on winxp as I do not have access to visual studio.
Tested on darwin (ipv4/ipv6) and winxp (ipv4 only). Needs testing on
newer windows using ipv6 and other unix platforms.
Fixes a bug where timers expire prematurely when the following
conditions hold:
a) libuv first spends some time blocked in the platform poll function
b) a callback then calls uv_timer_start()
Cause: uv_timer_start() uses an out-of-date loop->time in its
'when should the timer callback run?' calculations.
Solution: Update loop->time before invoking any callbacks.
Fixes#678.
This commit renames the various uv_hrtime() implementations to uv__hrtime().
Libuv uses the high-res timer internally in performance-critical code paths.
Calling the non-public version avoids going through the PLT when libuv is
compiled as a shared object.
The exported uv_hrtime() now has a single definition in src/unix/core.c that
calls uv__hrtime().
A future optimization is to lift the uv__hrtime() declarations into header
files so they can be inlined at the call sites. Then again, linking with -flto
should accomplish the same thing.

This commit changes how the event loop determines if it needs to stay alive.
Previously, an internal counter was increased whenever a handle got created
and decreased again when the handle was closed.
While conceptually simple, it turned out hard to work with: you often want
to keep the event loop alive only if the handle is actually doing something.
Stopped or inactive handles were a frequent source of hanging event loops.
That's why this commit changes the reference counting scheme to a model where
a handle only references the event loop when it's active. 'Active' means
different things for different handle types, e.g.:
* timers: ticking
* sockets: reading, writing or listening
* processes: always active (for now, subject to change)
* idle, check, prepare: only active when started
This commit also changes how the uv_ref() and uv_unref() functions work: they
now operate on the level of individual handles, not the whole event loop.
The Windows implementation was done by Bert Belder.
