Pthread priorities will have to wait a little longer to get fixed.

after.
likely to be non-zero. When leaving the cancellation point, check
the return value against -1 to see if cancellation should be
checked. While I'm here, make the same change to connect() just
to be consisitent.

_thr_leave_cancellation_point to _thr_cancel_leave, add a parameter
to _thr_cancel_leave to indicate whether cancellation point should be
checked, this gives us an option to not check cancallation point if
a syscall successfully returns to avoid any leaks, current I have
creat(), open() and fcntl(F_DUPFD) to not check cancellation point
after they sucessfully returned.
Replace some members in structure kse with bit flags to same some
memory.
Conditionally compile THR_ASSERT to nothing if _PTHREAD_INVARIANTS is
not defined.
Inline some small functions in thr_cancel.c.
Use __predict_false in thr_kern.c for some executed only once code.

flags. We now create asynchronous contexts or syscall contexts only.
Syscall contexts differ from the minimal ABI dictated contexts by
having the scratch registers saved and restored because that's where
we keep the syscall arguments and syscall return values.
Since this change affects KSE, have it use kse_switchin(2) for the
"new" syscall context.
Instead of just deleting it, turn the original page into a general
overview of the multibyte character conversion functions, somewhat
similar to stdio(3).
UTS with the stack correctly aligned. Also, while here, use an indirect
jump rather than the pushq/ret hack.
This fixes threaded apps that use floating point for me, although
it hasn't solved all the problems. It is an improvement though.
Preservation of the 128 byte red zone hasn't been resolved yet.

ABI-required stack alignment. C code expects that the push of the
return address disturbed the 16 byte alignment and it will take corrective
measures to fix it before making another call. Of course, if its wrong
to start with, then all hell breaks loose. Essentially we "fix" this
by making the stack alignment odd to start with.
This was one of the things that broke on libkse with apps that use
floating point/varargs/etc.

we can end up with some threads with a non-16-byte-aligned stack. This
causes some interesting side effects, including general protection
faults leading to a SIGBUS when doing floating point or varargs. This
should be just a verbose NOP for the other platforms.

2.Allocate siginfo arrary separately to avoid pthread to be allocated at
2K boundary, which hits L1 address alias problem and causes context
switch to be slow down.
3.Simplify context switch code by removing redundant code, code size is
reduced, so it is expected to run faster.

initialization overhead, there's a problem in that we never call
imalloc() and thus malloc_init() for zero-sized allocations. As a
result, malloc(0) returns NULL when it's the first or only malloc in
the program. Any non-zero allocation will initialize the malloc code
with the side-effect that subsequent zero-sized allocations return a
non-NULL pointer. This is because the pointer we return for zero-
sized allocations is calculated from malloc_pageshift, which needs
to be initialized at runtime on ia64.
The result of the inconsistent behaviour described above is that
configure scripts failed the test for a GNU compatible malloc. This
resulted in a lot of broken ports.
Other, even simpler, solutions were possible as well:
1. initialize malloc_pageshift with some non-zero value (say 13 for
8KB pages) and keep the runtime adjustment.
2. Stop using malloc_pageshift to calculate ZEROSIZEPTR.
Removal of the runtime adjustment was chosen because then ia64 is the
same as any other platform. It is not to say that using a page size
obtained at runtime is bad per se. It's that there's currently a high
level of gratuity for its existence and the moment it causes problems
is the moment you need to get rid of it. Hence, it's not unthinkable
that this commit is (partially) reverted some time in the future when
we do have a good reason for it and a good way to achieve it.
