 that it stop unless there was a valid reason. I was testing a federated
 social network program with a URL scraper and seeing how often it would
 detect changes. I didn't realize this was being monitored by anyone or
 causing problems. Resetting the URL to my default personal URL, and leaving

+## `getcontext`/`makecontext`/`setcontext`/`swapcontext` usage analysis
+
+In context of [[glibc/t/tls-threadvar]].  Looking at GCC trunk commit
+f6568ea476aa52a6e23c6db43b3e240cde55783a (2013-04-26).
+
+The check in `libgo/configure.ac` *whether setcontext clobbers TLS variables*
+is invalid on GNU Hurd.
+
+The `*context` functions are used in `libgo/runtime/go-signal.c` and
+`libgo/runtime/proc.c`.
+
+`__splitstack_getcontext`, `__splitstack_setcontext`,
+`__splitstack_makecontext`, `__splitstack_resetcontext`,
+`__splitstack_block_signals_context` are to be provided by libgcc.  However, in
+said libgo runtime files, they're used only `#ifdef USING_SPLIT_STACK`.
+[[I|ŧschwinge]] would assume that before we can enable split stacks, first
+[[open_issues/glibc/t/tls-threadvar]] needs to be fixed.
+
+In `libgo/runtime/proc.c`:`runtime_gogo`, `setcontext` is used to *switch
+context to a different goroutine*.  TODO.
+
+In `libgo/runtime/proc.c`:`runtime_mcall`, which *save[s] context and call[s]
+fn passing g as a parameter*, `getcontext` and `setcontext` are used; this is
+only called from `libgo/runtime/proc.c`:`runtime_gosched`.  TODO.
+
+In `libgo/runtime/proc.c`:`runtime_tracebackothers`, `getcontext` is used to
+*switch context to the goroutine*.  TODO.
+
+In `libgo/runtime/proc.c`:`runtime_mstart`, which is *called to start an M*,
+`getcontext` is used.  TODO.
+
+In `libgo/runtime/proc.c`:`runtime_entersyscall`, which is called when *the
+goroutine g is about to enter a system call*, `getcontext` is used to *save the
+registers in the g structure so that any pointers held in registers will be
+seen by the garbage collector*.  Should be fine.
+
+In `libgo/runtime/proc.c`:`__go_go`, `getcontext` and `makecontext` are used.
+TODO.
+
+In `libgo/runtime/thread.c`:`runtime_minit`, which is *[c]alled to initialize a
+new m (including the bootstrap m)*, `ss.ss_sp` is set to a new stack retrieved
+via `libgo/runtime/proc.c:runtime_malg`, which *allocate[s] a new g, with a
+stack [...]*, and then `sigaltstack` is called.  TODO.
+
+    libgo/runtime/go-signal.c:  /* We are now running on the stack registered via sigaltstack.
+    libgo/runtime/go-signal.c:     and sigaltstack when the program starts.)  */
+    
+    libgo/runtime/proc.c:         vnewg->context.uc_stack.ss_sp = vsp;
+    libgo/runtime/proc.c:         vnewg->context.uc_stack.ss_sp += vspsize;
+    libgo/runtime/proc.c:         vnewg->context.uc_stack.ss_size = vspsize;
+
+Also, in `libgo/runtime/proc.c`:`runtime_newm`, `pthread_attr_setstacksize` is
+used, which we also can't support yet, for the same reason.

+The switch to pthreads has been attempted multiple times, but in the past it always hit some tricky issues which proved to be a roadblock. Last year, Richard Braun took up the task again and finished the transition of the Hurd libraries, glibc and libpthread to pthread. His work required significant low-level magic, including the reworking of condition implications, finding a workaround for changing the stack size, avoiding a segfault during early initialization and adjusting priorities to avoid starvation.

+It is with huge pleasure that the Hurd project announces the release of Debian
+GNU/Hurd 2013.  This is a snapshot of Debian sid at the time of the Debian
+Wheezy release (May 2013), so it is mostly based on Wheezy.  It is *not* an
+official Debian release, but it is an official Debian GNU/Hurd port release.
+
+The installation ISO images can be downloaded from
+http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian-cd/hurd-i386/current/
+with the usual Debian 3 flavors: NETINST, CD, or DVD. A pre-installed disk image
+is also available to make trying Debian GNU/Hurd even easier.
+
+Yes, really. This time it is not a joke like the
+[[0.401 release|news/2011-04-01.html]] . Due to the very small amount of
+developers, the progress of the project has not been as fast as other successful
+Operating Systems, but we believe to have reached a very good state.
+
+Please make sure to read the
+[[configuration information|http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install]],
+the [[FAQ|faq]],
+and the [[translator primer|hurd/documentation/translator_primer]]
+for a start.
+
+---
+
+The **GNU Hurd** is the GNU project's replacement for the Unix kernel.  It is a
+collection of servers that run on the Mach microkernel to implement file
+systems, network protocols, file access control, and other features that are
+implemented by the Unix kernel or similar kernels (such as Linux).  [[More
+detailed|hurd/documentation]].
+
+**GNU Mach** is the microkernel upon which a GNU Hurd system is based.  It
+provides an Inter Process Communication (IPC) mechanism that the Hurd uses to
+define interfaces for implementing in a distributed multi-server fashion the
+services a traditional operating system kernel provides.  [[More
+detailed|microkernel/mach/gnumach]].
+

 As followups, Thomas Schwinge [debugged and fixed](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-12/msg00044.html) a deadlock with child threads resulting from a regression due to earlier fixes, and Cyril Roelandt shared a [patch series](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-12/msg00018.html) to fix double mutex unlocking with pthreads. We will likely see more fixes like these, given that the whole threading interface changed, which will expose previously invisible bugs.

 At the end of the last 2 quarters, Samuel Thibault pushed the [pthread patches](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-11/msg00088.html) from Vicente Hernando Ara, Barry de Freese, Thomas Schwinge, Richard Braun and Samuel and others to the different upstream packages, finally enabling modern pthreads for the Hurd, which makes it possible to implement full Hurd bindings for languages which require pthreads, so for example [PyHurd](http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pyhurd/) can profit from the Hurd libraries instead of having to rely on low-level Mach bindings to implement Hurd features like translators. 
 
-The switch to pthreads has been attempted multiple times, but in the past it always hit some tricky issues which proved to be a roadblock. Last year, Richard Braun took up the task again and finished the transition of the Hurd libraries and glibc to pthread with libpthread.

 As followups, Thomas Schwinge [debugged and fixed](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-12/msg00044.html) a deadlock with child threads resulting from a regression due to earlier fixes, and Cyril Roelandt shared a [patch series](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2012-12/msg00018.html) to fix double mutex unlocking with pthreads. We will likely see more fixes like these, given that the whole threading interface changed, which will expose previously invisible bugs.
