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...

after fork, we have a new process and the pid is equal to the tid of the new main thread. there is no need to make two separate syscalls to obtain the same number.

we can do this without violating the namespace now that they are macros/inline functions rather than extern functions. the motivation is that gcc was generating giant, slow, horrible code for the old functions, and now generates a single byte-swapping instruction.
