RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Multiple manual pages in section 3 were missing multi-thread safety information. With this update, the missing information has been backported into more than 350 man pages, and the man pages now describe what functions are thread-safe.

Description Ben Woodard 2015-03-02 18:35:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
A new man pages has been released which includes information about the multi-thread safety. LLNL uses a lot of multithreaded codes and having up to date information would be helpful. Can we please back port the changes from man-pages 3.81 for RHEL7

-----
The changes in man-pages-3.81 relate exclusively to the (glibc) 
thread-safety markings in various man pages. More than 400 patches, 
mainly by Ma Shimiao and Peng Haitao of Fujitsu brought the following 
changes:

* Thread-safety information has been added to many more pages.
* The thread-safety notation in man-pages has been made consistent 
 with the notation used in the GNU C Library Manual.
* Thread-safety information in man-pages has been checked for 
 consistency with the same information in the GNU C Library Manual.
 In some cases these, this has resulted in refinements to the 
 markings in man-pages.
* The thread-safety information in man-pages has been been converted 
 from a plain text layout to a tabular layout, for ease of reading.

By now, thanks mainly to the work of Peng Haitao and Ma Shimiao, 
nearly 400 of the (around 980) pages in man-pages carry thread-safety 
information.

In addition, a new attributes(7) man page, based on text supplied 
by Alexandre Oliva (who was responsible for adding thread-safety 
information to the GNU C Library manual) provides an overview of the 
thread-safety concepts documented in man-pages, and a description of 
the notation used in man-pages to describe the thread safety of 
functions. (Thanks also to Carlos O'Donell for helping us to obtain 
the permissions needed so that man-pages could recycle this text 
from the GNU C Library manual.)

Cheers,

Michael

These changes are already in the glibc manual in 7.1 but users unlikely to  look there. This just makes sure that they remain in sync.
