3b78cc7c0f The getcontext() from the __fillcontextx() call in the
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].

5ff92b1d9c Do not restore the register holding the TLS pointer when doing various
usermode context switches (long jumps and ucontext operations). If these
are used across threads, multiple threads can end up with the same TLS base.
Madness will then result.

This makes behavior on PPC match that on x86 systems and on Linux.

07f16a905d Properly resolve the _ctx_start function descriptor (the symbol _ctx_start
is a descriptor, not a code address), which prevents crashes when starting
a context. This fixes QEMU on powerpc64.

bf13243b53 Replace the assembler macro WEAK_ALIAS with a new macro WEAK_REFERENCE which
has the same API as __weak_reference(). Give 'x' in SYS.h a more meaningful
name.

Tested on 32- and 64-bit PowerMac.

8c121450bc Add API for obtaining extended machine context states that cannot be
fit into existing mcontext_t.

On i386 and amd64 do return the extended FPU states using
getcontextx(3). For other architectures, getcontextx(3) returns the
same information as getcontext(2).

9373f7b9c4 Replace a proliferation of buggy MD implementations of modf() with a
working MI one.  The MI one only needs to be overridden on machines
with non-IEEE754 arithmetic.  (The last supported one was the VAX.)
It can also be overridden if someone comes up with a faster one that
actually passes the regression tests -- but this is harder than it sounds.

699ef3129b Turn off default generation of userland dot symbols on powerpc64 now that
we have a binutils that supports it. Kernel dot symbols remain on to assist
DDB.
