KLDRDY are in reality simple wrappers * around KLDRMOD with some extra linking and attributes. * */ /******************************************************************************* * Header Files * *******************************************************************************/ #include #include "kLdrInternal.h" /******************************************************************************* * Global Variables * *******************************************************************************/ /** Flag indicating whether we've initialized the loader or not. * * 0 if not initialized. * -1 if we're initializing or terminating. * 1 if we've successfully initialized it. * -2 if initialization failed. */ static int volatile g_fInitialized; /** * Initializes the loader. * @returns 0 on success, non-zero OS status code on failure. */ int kldrInit(void) { int rc; /* check we're already good. */ if (g_fInitialized == 1) return 0; /* a tiny serialization effort. */ for (;;) { if (g_fInitialized == 1) return 0; if (g_fInitialized == -2) return -1; /** @todo atomic test and set if we care. */ if (g_fInitialized == 0) { g_fInitialized = -1; break; } kHlpSleep(1); } /* * Do the initialization. */ rc = kHlpHeapInit(); if (!rc) { rc = kLdrDyldSemInit(); if (!rc) { rc = kldrDyldInit(); if (!rc) { g_fInitialized = 1; return 0; } kLdrDyldSemTerm(); } kHlpHeapTerm(); } g_fInitialized = -2; return rc; } /** * Terminates the loader. */ void kldrTerm(void) { /* can't terminate unless it's initialized. */ if (g_fInitialized != 1) return; g_fInitialized = -1; /* * Do the termination. */ kLdrDyldSemTerm(); kHlpHeapTerm(); /* done */ g_fInitialized = 0; }
