(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.

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.

Stack creation code is changed to call _rtld_get_stack_prot() to get
the stack protection right. There is a race where thread is created
during dlopen() of dso that requires executable stacks. Then,
_rtld_get_stack_prot() may return PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, but thread
is still not linked into the thread list. In this case, the callback
misses the thread stack, and rechecks the required protection
afterward.

a silly rwlock deadlock problem, the deadlock is caused by writer
waiters, if a thread has already locked a reader lock, and wants to
acquire another reader lock, it will be blocked by writer waiters,
but we had already fixed it years ago.

Use _rtld_addr_phdr to locate segment information from the address of

utility function __elf_phdr_match_addr to do the match of address against
dso executable segment.
Call back into libthr from __cxa_finalize using weak
__pthread_cxa_finalize symbol to remove any atfork handler which
function points into unloaded object.
The rtld needs private __pthread_cxa_finalize symbol to not require
resolution of the weak undefined symbol at initialization time. This
cannot work, since rtld is relocated before sym_zero is set up.

now type sema_t is a structure which can be put in a shared memory area,
and multiple processes can operate it concurrently.
User can either use mmap(MAP_SHARED) + sem_init(pshared=1) or use sem_open()
to initialize a shared semaphore.
Named semaphore uses file system and is located in /tmp directory, and its
file name is prefixed with 'SEMD', so now it is chroot or jail friendly.
In simplist cases, both for named and un-named semaphore, userland code
does not have to enter kernel to reduce/increase semaphore's count.
The semaphore is designed to be crash-safe, it means even if an application
is crashed in the middle of operating semaphore, the semaphore state is
still safely recovered by later use, there is no waiter counter maintained
by userland code.
The main semaphore code is in libc and libthr only has some necessary stubs,
this makes it possible that a non-threaded application can use semaphore
without linking to thread library.
Old semaphore implementation is kept libc to maintain binary compatibility.
The kernel ksem API is no longer used in the new implemenation.

There most likely still needs to be a version bump for at least the

2. Make wait3() as a cancellation point.
3. Move raise() and pause() into file thr_sig.c.
4. Add functions _sigsuspend, _sigwait, _sigtimedwait and _sigwaitinfo,
remove SIGCANCEL bit in wait-set for those functions, the signal is
used internally to implement thread cancellation.

1. fast simple type mutex.
2. __thread tls works.
3. asynchronous cancellation works ( using signal ).
4. thread synchronization is fully based on umtx, mainly, condition
variable and other synchronization objects were rewritten by using
umtx directly. those objects can be shared between processes via
shared memory, it has to change ABI which does not happen yet.
5. default stack size is increased to 1M on 32 bits platform, 2M for
64 bits platform.
As the result, some mysql super-smack benchmarks show performance is
improved massivly.
