somehow this worked on my simple fstab, but horribly broke in general,
leading to use of uninitialized offset array and crashes.

1. make sem_[timed]wait interruptible by signals, per POSIX
2. keep a waiter count in order to avoid unnecessary futex wake syscalls

since timer_create is no longer allocating a structure for the timer_t
and simply using the kernel timer id, it was impossible to specify the
timer_t as the argument to the signal handler. the solution is to pass
the null sigevent pointer on to the kernel, rather than filling it in
userspace, so that the kernel does the right thing. however, that
precludes the clever timerid-versus-threadid encoding we were doing.

instead, just assume timerids are below 1M and thread pointers are
above 1M. (in perspective: timerids are sequentially allocated and
seem limited to 32k, and thread pointers are at roughly 3G.)

with these small changes, libc functions which need to call functions
which are cancellation points, but which themselves must not be
cancellation points, can use the CANCELPT_INHIBIT and CANCELPT_RESUME
macros to temporarily inhibit all cancellation.

these defs should probably all be moved out of bits and unified...

this was a hack leftover from testing before the initial
check-in to git.

note that unlike the originals, these do not print the program
name/argv[0] because we have not saved it anywhere. this could be
changed in __libc_start_main if desired.

this could actually cause rare crashes in the case where a short
string is located at the end of a page and the following page is not
readable, and in fact this was seen in gcc compiling certain files.

the bug appeared only with requests roughly 2*sizeof(size_t) to
4*sizeof(size_t) bytes smaller than a multiple of the page size, and
only for requests large enough to be serviced by mmap instead of the
normal heap. it was only ever observed on 64-bit machines but
presumably could also affect 32-bit (albeit with a smaller window of
opportunity).

since vfprintf will provide a temporary buffer in the case where the
target FILE has a zero buffer size, don't bother setting up a real
buffer for vdprintf. this also allows us to skip the call to fflush
since we know everything will be written out before vfprintf returns.

this change makes it so most calls to fprintf(stderr, ...) will result
in a single writev syscall, as opposed to roughly 2*N syscalls (and
possibly more) where N is the number of format specifiers. in
principle we could use a much larger buffer, but it's best not to
increase the stack requirements too much. most messages are under 80
chars.

0e10000000000000000000000000000000 was setting ERANGE

exponent char e/p was considered part of the match even if not
followed by a valid decimal value

"1e +10" was parsed as "1e+10"

hex digits were misinterpreted as 0..5 instead of 10..15
