Problem Description:

6214687 posix_spawn_file_actions_{addopen,addclose,adddup2} need EBADF returns
6214698 clock_nanosleep() should return the error value rather than -1
6215000 declare availability (or not) of SUSv3 ADVANCED REALTIME features
6239984 system(3C) can be made safe to use by multiple threads concurrently
6245233 UNIX03: *vsth* CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is not defined in <time.h>
6225876 thread_db synchronization tracking causes cond_wait failure and hangs
6231288 libc initialization needs to cooperate better with dtrace
6269525 pthread_cancel() in an atfork handler causes hang when linked with libnsl
 
(from 119689-03)
 
4954703 userland atomic.h port should include cas primitives
5042855 threads racing in _thrp_exit may result in uncalled atexit handlers
6214721 malloc(3c) and free(3c) can be made a little faster
6214834 rand(3c) / rand_r(3c) can be made substantially faster
6221845 SMT_PAUSE() instructions are missing from two libc spin loops
6225908 single threaded standard I/O performance can be improved
 
(from 119689-02)
 
6263065 libproject incorrectly uses __init_suid_priv
6263070 __init_suid_priv() should fail safe
 
(from 119689-01)
 
4932869 _nsw_getoneconfig[_v1]() need to check each return from strdup() isn't NULL
6198351 automounting causes EAGAIN for nftw(), hence find(1) can fail
