rlim_t is at least as large as long, so we don't need the
extra variable to keep the intermediate step. We don't
need the volatile either.

As a followup to r278363, there is one more case where
stayopen can be accessed uninitialized, but even after
swapping arguments, access is possible in some other
cases so prevent it completely by initializing stayopen.

The existing implementation had a broken comparison that could
overflow and return confusing values. Replace this with a check
that avoids the overflow before it happens.
Consistently return a maximum value also on the case of negative
arguments since negative is considered an overflow and means
infinity for our current setrlimit().
New revamped version is credited to Bruce Evans.

from r202992. The refcount on the cache entry is not initialized, so
any attempt to clean the cache will skip over this item since it likely
has a >0 value.
This change is currently a NOP. There is work in progress to support
freeing the cache which requires this change to avoid a memory leak.

In a couple of cases a variable "stayopen" can be checked
unitialized. This is of no danger as the complementary
condition is false but prevent the access by switching
the checks.

This was a local addition to the original change from NetBSD.
Being this libc there is some chance for it to interfere with
user's cget*() functions usage. The memory leak was finely
plugged by r278300.

It seems GAS makes the substitution automatically, but Clang's
integrated assembler does not (yet). It fails with "invalid operand for

The core kernel part is patch file utimes.2008.4.diff from
pluknet@FreeBSD.org. I updated the code for API changes, added the manual
page and added compatibility code for old kernels. There is also audit and
Capsicum support.
A new UTIME_* constant might allow setting birthtimes in future.

Some users build FreeBSD as non-root in Perforce workspaces. By default,
Perforce sets files read-only unless they're explicitly being edited.
As a result, the -f argument must be used to cp in order to override the
read-only flag when copying source files to object directories. Bare use of
'cp' should be avoided in the future.
Update all current users of 'cp' in the src tree.

(or loading a dso linked to libthr.so into process which was not
linked against threading library).
- Remove libthr interposers of the libc functions, including
__error(). Instead, functions calls are indirected through the
interposing table, similar to how pthread stubs in libc are already
done. Libc by default points either to syscall trampolines or to
existing libc implementations. On libthr load, libthr rewrites the
pointers to the cancellable implementations already in libthr. The
interposition table is separate from pthreads stubs indirection
table to not pull pthreads stubs into static binaries.
- Postpone the malloc(3) internal mutexes initialization until libthr
is loaded. This avoids recursion between calloc(3) and static
pthread_mutex_t initialization.
- Reinstall signal handlers with wrapper on libthr load. The
_rtld_is_dlopened(3) is used to avoid useless calls to sigaction(2)
when libthr is statically referenced from the main binary.
In the process, fix openat(2), swapcontext(2) and setcontext(2)
interposing. The libc symbols were exported at different versions
than libthr interposers. Export both libc and libthr versions from
libc now, with default set to the higher version from libthr.
Remove unused and disconnected swapcontext(3) userspace implementation
from libc/gen.

Some files lack required #include <sys/stat.h>. The #ifdef is per ngie's
request; the includes are clearly necessary for struct stat.
The faccessat test fails because it tries to use AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW with
faccessat(), which is not specified by POSIX.1-2008.
