Add an internal _once() method. This works identical to pthread_once(3)
with the additional property that it is safe for routines in libc to use
in both single-threaded and multi-threaded processes. Multi-threaded
processes use the pthread_once() implementation from the threading library
while single-threaded processes use a simplified "stub" version internal
to libc.
Add a new errno, ENOTCAPABLE, to be returned when a process requests an
operation on a file descriptor that is not authorized by the descriptor's
capability flags.

Add two new fcntls to enable/disable read-ahead:
- F_READAHEAD: specify the amount for sequential access. The amount is
specified in bytes and is rounded up to nearest block size.
- F_RDAHEAD: Darwin compatible version that use 128KB as the sequential
access size.
A third argument of zero disables the read-ahead behavior.
Please note that the read-ahead amount is also constrainted by sysctl
variable, vfs.read_max, which may need to be raised in order to better
utilize this feature.
Thanks Igor Sysoev for proposing the feature and submitting the original
version, and kib@ for his valuable comments.
The fd_mask type is an unsigned long, not an int, so treat the mask as a
long instead of an int when examining the results of select() to look for
RPC requests. Previously this routine would ignore RPC requests to sockets
whose file descriptor mod 64 was greater than 31 on a 64-bit platform.
* retry various system calls on EINTR
* retry the rest after a short read (common if there is more than about 1K
of output)
* block SIGCHLD like system(3) does (note that this does not and cannot
work fully in threaded programs, they will need to be careful with wait
functions)

Eliminate dead stores.
In __mbsconv(), if prec was zero, nconv could have been used
uninitialized. Initialize it to a safe value so that there's no
chance of returning an error if stack garbage happens to be equal to
(size_t)-1 or (size_t)-2.
In svc_raw_reply(), don't leave stat uninitialized if the MSG_ACCEPTED
&& SUCCESS case succeeds. The stack garbage might be zero.
In clnt_raw_create(), avoid minor race condition initializing the
file-scope variable clntraw_private.

Make libc.a provide __stack_chk_fail_local weak alias. This is
needed to satisfy static libraries that are compiled with -fpic
and linked into static binary afterwards. Several libraries in
gcc are examples of such static libs.

Our implementation of granpt(3) could be valid in the future.
When I wrote the pseudo-terminal driver for the MPSAFE TTY code, Robert
Watson and I agreed the best way to implement this, would be to let
posix_openpt() create a pseudo-terminal with proper permissions in place
and let grantpt() and unlockpt() be no-ops.
This isn't valid behaviour when looking at the spec. Because I thought
it was an elegant solution, I filed a bug report at the Austin Group
about this. In their last teleconference, they agreed on this subject.
This means that future revisions of POSIX may allow grantpt() and
unlockpt() to be no-ops if an open() on /dev/ptmx (if the implementation
has such a device) and posix_openpt() already do the right thing.
I'd rather put this in the manpage, because simply mentioning we don't
comply to any standard makes it look worse than it is. Right now we
don't, but at least we took care of it.

other than the current system-wide size (32-bits) has been updated so
for now just cautiously turn the check off. While here fix the check
for IDs being too large which doesn't work due to type mis-matches.

behavior is mandated by POSIX.
- Do not fail requests that pass a length greater than SSIZE_MAX
(such as > 2GB on 32-bit platforms). The 'len' parameter is actually
an unsigned 'size_t' so negative values don't really make sense.

if the new file mode is the same as it was before; however, this
optimization must be disabled for filesystems that support NFSv4 ACLs.
Chmod uses pathconf(2) to determine whether this is the case - however,
pathconf(2) always follows symbolic links, while the 'chmod -h' doesn't.
This change adds lpathconf(3) to make it possible to solve that problem
in a clean way.
