like all other syscalls, close should return to the caller if and only
if it successfully performed its action. it is necessary that the
application be able to determine whether the close succeeded.

clean and simple, but fails when the caller does not have permissions
to open the file for reading or when /proc is not available. i may
replace this with a full implementation later, possibly leaving this
version as an optimization to use when it works.

if the exit was caused by cancellation, __cancel has already set these
flags anyway.

cancellation frames were not correctly popped, so this usage would not
only loop, but also reuse discarded and invalid parts of the stack.

don't waste time (and significant code size due to function call
overhead!) setting errno when the result of a syscall does not matter
or when it can't fail.

x86_64 was just plain wrong in the cancel-flag-already-set path, and
crashing.

the more subtle error was not clearing the saved stack pointer before
returning to c code. this could result in the signal handler
misidentifying c code as the pre-syscall part of the asm, and acting
on cancellation at the wrong time, and thus resource leak race
conditions.

also, now __cancel (in the c code) is responsible for clearing the
saved sp in the already-cancelled branch. this means we have to use
call rather than jmp to ensure the stack pointer in the c will never
match what the asm saved.

the goal is to be able to use pthread_setcancelstate internally in
the implementation, whenever a function might want to use functions
which are cancellation points but avoid becoming a cancellation point
itself. i could have just used a separate internal function for
temporarily inhibiting cancellation, but the solution in this commit
is better because (1) it's one less implementation-specific detail in
functions that need to use it, and (2) application code can also get
the same benefit.

previously, pthread_setcancelstate dependend on pthread_self, which
would pull in unwanted thread setup overhead for non-threaded
programs. now, it temporarily stores the state in the global libc
struct if threads have not been initialized, and later moves it if
needed. this way we can instead use __pthread_self, which has no
dependencies and assumes that the thread register is already valid.

signals were wrongly left masked, and cancellability state was not
switched to disabled, during the execution of cleanup handlers.

this patch improves the correctness, simplicity, and size of
cancellation-related code. modulo any small errors, it should now be
completely conformant, safe, and resource-leak free.

the notion of entering and exiting cancellation-point context has been
completely eliminated and replaced with alternative syscall assembly
code for cancellable syscalls. the assembly is responsible for setting
up execution context information (stack pointer and address of the
syscall instruction) which the cancellation signal handler can use to
determine whether the interrupted code was in a cancellable state.

these changes eliminate race conditions in the previous generation of
cancellation handling code (whereby a cancellation request received
just prior to the syscall would not be processed, leaving the syscall
to block, potentially indefinitely), and remedy an issue where
non-cancellable syscalls made from signal handlers became cancellable
if the signal handler interrupted a cancellation point.

x86_64 asm is untested and may need a second try to get it right.

setting errno here is completely valid, but some programs, notably
busybox printf, assume that errno will not be set during output and
treat this as an error condition. in any case, skipping it slightly
reduces code size and saves time.

otherwise we cannot support an application's desire to use
asynchronous cancellation within the callback function. this change
also slightly debloats pthread_create.c.

we take advantage of the fact that unless self->cancelpt is 1,
cancellation cannot happen. so just increment it by 2 to temporarily
block cancellation. this drops pthread_create.o well under 1k.

with datagram sockets, depending on fprintf not to flush the output
early was very fragile; the new version simply uses a small fixed-size
buffer. it could be updated to dynamic-allocate large buffers if
needed, but i can't envision any admin being happy about finding
64kb-long lines in their syslog...

per the standard, SIGPIPE is not generated for SOCK_DGRAM.

it actually appears the hacks to block SIGPIPE are probably not
necessary, and potentially harmful. if i can confirm this, i'll remove
them.

some of these definitions were just plain wrong, others based on
outdated ancient "non-64" versions of the kernel interface.

as much as possible has now been moved out of bits/*

these changes break abi (the old abi for these functions was wrong),
but since they were not working anyway it can hardly matter.

it should be noted that flock does not mix well with standard fcntl
locking, but nonetheless some applications will attempt to use flock
instead of fcntl if both exist. options to configure or small patches
may be needed. debian maintainers have plenty of experience with this
unfortunate situation...

RLIM_* is in the reserved namespace for this header
