the stack of main thread.
By default, the main thread stack is clamped at 2MB (4MB on 64bit
ABIs) and the rest is used for other threads stack allocation. Since
there is no programmatic way to adjust the size of the main thread
stack, pthread_attr_setstacksize() is too late, the knob allows user
to manage the main stack size both for single-threaded and
multi-threaded processes with the rlimit.

unlocking the rtld bind lock results in the processing of ast and
recursing into the check_deferred_signal(). Nested execution of
check_deferred_signal() delivers the signal to user code and clears
si_signo. On return, top-level check_deferred_signal() frame
continues delivering the same signal one more time, but now with zero
si_signo.
Fix this by adding a flag to indicate that deferred delivery is
running, so check_deferred_signal() should avoid doing anything. Since
user signal handler is allowed to modify the passed machine context to
make return from the signal handler to cause arbitrary jump, or do
longjmp(). For this case, also clear the flag in thr_sighandler(),
since kernel signal delivery means that nested delivery code should
not run right now.

check_deferred_signal() returns twice, since handle_signal() emulates
the return from the normal signal handler by sigreturn(2)ing the
passed context. Second return is performed on the destroyed stack
frame, because __fillcontextx() has already returned. This causes
undefined and bad behaviour, usually the victim thread gets SIGSEGV.
Avoid nested frame and the need to return from it by doing direct call
to getcontext() in the check_deferred_signal() and using a new private
libc helper __fillcontextx2() to complement the context with the
extended CPU state if the deferred signal is still present.
The __fillcontextx() is now unused, but is kept to allow older
libthr.so to be used with the new libc.
Mark __fillcontextx() as returning twice [1].

The accept4() function, compared to accept(), allows setting the new file
descriptor atomically close-on-exec and explicitly controlling the
non-blocking status on the new socket. (Note that the latter point means
that accept() is not equivalent to any form of accept4().)
The linuxulator's accept4 implementation leaves a race window where the new
file descriptor is not close-on-exec because it calls sys_accept(). This
implementation leaves no such race window (by using falloc() flags). The
linuxulator could be fixed and simplified by using the new code.
Like accept(), accept4() is async-signal-safe, a cancellation point and
permitted in capability mode.
The threaded rtld lock implementation is faster even in the single-threaded
case because it postpones signal handlers via THR_CRITICAL_ENTER and
THR_CRITICAL_LEAVE instead of calling sigprocmask(2).
As a result, exception handling becomes faster in single-threaded
applications linked with libthr.

The new operation UMTX_OP_MUTEX_WAKE2 try to fix the problem. It
requires thread library to clear the lock word entirely, then
call the WAKE2 operation to check if there is any waiter in kernel,
and try to wake up a thread, if necessary, the contention bit is set again
by the operation. This also mitgates the chance that other threads find
the contention bit and try to enter kernel to compete with each other

with an implementation that directly used atomic instructions and thr_*
syscalls to synchronize callers to pthread_once. However, calling
pthread_mutex_lock on the global mutex implicitly ensured that
_thr_check_init() had been called but with r179417 this was no longer
guaranteed. This meant that if you were unlucky enough to have your first
call into libthr be a call to pthread_once(), you would segfault when
trying to access the pointer returned by _get_curthread().

module private type, when private type mutex is locked/unlocked, thread

still needs to be async-signal safe, but it is not problem of libthr, it
is user's responsiblity.
some cases we want to improve:
1) if a thread signal got a signal while in cancellation point,
it is possible the TDP_WAKEUP may be eaten by signal handler
if the handler called some interruptibly system calls.
2) In signal handler, we want to disable cancellation.
3) When thread holding some low level locks, it is better to
disable signal, those code need not to worry reentrancy,
sigprocmask system call is avoided because it is a bit expensive.
The signal handler wrapper works in this way:
1) libthr installs its signal handler if user code invokes sigaction
to install its handler, the user handler is recorded in internal
array.
2) when a signal is delivered, libthr's signal handler is invoke,
libthr checks if thread holds some low level lock or is in critical
region, if it is true, the signal is buffered, and all signals are
masked, once the thread leaves critical region, correct signal
mask is restored and buffered signal is processed.
3) before user signal handler is invoked, cancellation is temporarily
disabled, after user signal handler is returned, cancellation state
is restored, and pending cancellation is rescheduled.

which does not know what is the state of interrupted system call, for
example, open() system call opened a file and the thread is still cancelled,
result is descriptor leak, there are other problems which can cause resource
leak or undeterminable side effect when a thread is cancelled. However, this
is no longer true in new implementation.
In defering mode, a thread is canceled if cancellation request is pending and
later the thread enters a cancellation point, otherwise, a later
pthread_cancel() just causes SIGCANCEL to be sent to the target thread, and
causes target thread to abort system call, userland code in libthr then checks
cancellation state, and cancels the thread if needed. For example, the
cancellation point open(), the thread may be canceled at start,
but later, if it opened a file descriptor, it is not canceled, this avoids
file handle leak. Another example is read(), a thread may be canceled at start
of the function, but later, if it read some bytes from a socket, the thread
is not canceled, the caller then can decide if it should still enable cancelling
or disable it and continue reading data until it thinks it has read all
bytes of a packet, and keeps a protocol stream in health state, if user ignores
partly reading of a packet without disabling cancellation, then second iteration
of read loop cause the thread to be cancelled.
An exception is that the close() cancellation point always closes a file handle
despite whether the thread is cancelled or not.
