4b1d654efb Port libc_r to ia64. We need to do things slightly different
because we have 2 stacks per thread: the regular downward
memory stack and the irregular upward register stack. This
implementation lets both stacks grow toward each other. An
alternative scheme is to have them grow away from each other.
The alternate scheme has the advantage that both stack grow
toward guard pages. Since libc_r is virtually dead and we
really want the *context stuff for thread switching, we don't
try to be perfect, just functional.

f8739dd5f9 Implement the lock with a cmpxchg instruction instead of a xchg.
Both are atomic, but the cmpxchg has memory ordering hints. We
give this acquire semantics.

NOTE: The unlock in libc_r is implemented by a "normal" assign
statement. This is not correct on ia64 due to the memory ordering
characteristics of the architecture. We need release semantics
for an unlock.

7657553c76 Add an ia64 atomic lock primitive for libc_r. This is mostly for
completeness and doesn't get us a working libc_r there because libc_r
uses setjmp() and setjmp() cannot be used for context switches on ia64
as-is (or sparc64).  Rather than making setjmp/longjmp behave like
the *context() calls, it would be far better to make libc_r use *context()
directly which is what they are for.

send signals on the stack of the current thread and teach the threads
signal handler how to deliver signals to the current thread if it
needs to.  Also, always store a threads context as a jmp_buf.  Eventually
this will change to be a ucontext_t or mcontext_t.

a9ee9c593d Fix a number of subtle and evil bugs in the libc_r wrapping of sendfile(2).
o) Since we unwrap the sendfile syscall, check the return value of
   writev(2) to see if it didn't complete all the data.
   Previously if only a partial writev() succeeded, it would proceed
   to sendfile(2) even though the headers weren't completely sent.

o) Properly adjust the "bytes to send" to take into account sendfile(2)'s
   behaviour of counting the headers against the bytes to be transfered
   from the file.

o) Correct the problem where EAGAIN was being returned from _sys_sendfile(2)
   however the wrapper didn't update the 'sent bytes' parameter to take into
   account for it.  This is because sendfile can return EAGAIN even though
   it has actually transfered data.

Special thanks to Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz@apache.org> for bringing
this to my attention and giving an excellent way to reproduce the problem.

eb9053b12f Make libc_r check the kern.usrstack sysctl instead of using internal
kernel #defines to figure out where the stack is located.  This stops
libc_r from exploding when the kernel is compiled with a different
KVM size.  IMHO this is all kinda bogus, it would be better to just
check %esp and work from that.

53cff25eeb Removed:
- uthread_signal.c; libc_r does not wrap signal() since 1998/04/29.

- uthread_attr_setprio.c; it was never connected to the build, and
  pthread_attr_setprio() does not exist in POSIX.

- uthread_sigblock.c and uthread_sigsetmask.c; these were no-ops
  bloating libc_r's space.

pthread_private.h:

- Removed prototypes of non-syscalls: send().

- Removed prototypes of unused syscalls: sigpending(), sigsuspend(),
  and select().

- Fixed prototype of fork().

- MFS: Fixed prototypes of <sys/socket.h> syscalls.

f39105fa50 In the words of the submitter:
In libc_r, if _FDLOCKS_ENABLED is not defined, there is no guarantee
  in many of the sycall wrappers that _thread_fd_table[fd] is
  initialized.  This causes problems for programs that pass in file
  descriptors and execve() another program; when the exec'ed program
  tries to do an fcntl() or other syscall on the passed-in fd, it fails.

Add calls to initialize the FD table entry for _thread_fd_lock and
_thread_fd_lock_debug.

7ae9a22df2 Limit maximum poll interval to 60 seconds. This prevents an overflow
from occurring when converting from a timeval/timespec to a timeout in
milliseconds.
