Michael Haubenwallner ece7282f32 forkables: On fork failure, retry with hardlinks.
To support in-cygwin package managers, the fork() implementation must
not rely on .exe and .dll files to stay in their original location, as
the package manager's job is to replace these files.  Instead, when the
first fork try fails, and we have NTFS, we use hardlinks to the original
binaries in /var/run/cygfork/ to create the child process during the
second fork try, along the main.exe.local file to enable the "DotLocal
Dll Redirection" feature for the dlls.

The (probably few) users that need an update-safe fork manually have to
create the /var/run/cygfork/ directory for now, using:
mkdir --mode=a=rwxt /var/run/cygfork

	* child_info.h: Bump CURR_CHILD_INFO_MAGIC.
	(enum child_status): Add _CI_SILENTFAIL flag.
	(struct child_info): Add silentfail setter and getter.
	* winsup.h (child_copy): Add bool silentfail parameter.
	* cygheap.cc: Pass silentfail parameter to child_copy.
	* dcrt0.cc: Ditto.
	* dll_init.h (struct dll): Define public inline method forkedntname.
	(struct dll_list): Declare private method find_by_forkedntname.
	* dll_init.cc (struct dll_list): Implement find_by_forkedntname.
	(dll_list::alloc): Use find_by_forkedntname when in load after fork.
	(dll_list::load_after_fork_impl): Load dlls using dll::forkedntname.
	* fork.cc (frok::parent): Set silentfail child info flag.  Pass
	silentfail parameter to child_copy.  Use forkedntname of
	dlls.main_executable.
	(fork): When first dofork run failed and did not use forkables,
	run dofork again with_forkables set to true.
	(child_copy): Use debug_printf if silentfail is true,
	system_printf otherwise.

README

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
