However, in 1996 (r16117) system(3) was switched from vfork(2) to
fork(2) based partly on this. Switch back to vfork(2). This has a
dramatic effect in cases of extreme mmap use - such as excessive
abuse (500+) of shared libraries.
popen(3) has used vfork(2) for a while. vfork(2) isn't going anywhere.

This fixes a race condition where another thread may fork() before CLOEXEC
is set, unintentionally passing the descriptor to the child process.
This commit only adds O_CLOEXEC flags to open() or openat() calls where no
fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) follows. The separate fcntl() call still
leaves a race window so it should be fixed later.
The ENOTDIR mapping was introduced in r235266 for kern/128933 based on
an interpretation of the somewhat ambiguous language in the POSIX realpath
specification. The interpretation is inconsistent with Solaris and Linux,
a regression from 9.0, and does not appear to be permitted by the
description of ENOTDIR:
20 ENOTDIR Not a directory. A component of the specified pathname
existed, but it was not a directory, when a directory was
expected.

(Resolved state) recommend this way for the current standard (called
"earlier" in the text)
"However, earlier versions of this standard did not require this, and the
same example had to be written as:
// buf was obtained by malloc(buflen)
ret = write(fd, buf, buflen);
if (ret < 0) {
int save = errno;
free(buf);
errno = save;
return ret;
}
"
from feedback I have for previous commit it seems that many people prefer
to avoid mass code change needed for current standard compliance
and prefer to track unpublished standard instead, which requires now
that free() itself must save errno, not its usage code.
So, I back out "save errno across free()" part of previous commit,
and will fill PR for changing free() isntead.
2) Remove now unused serrno.
MFC after: 1 week
"The setting of errno after a successful call to a function is
unspecified unless the description of that function specifies that
errno shall not be modified."
However, free() in IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 does not mention its interaction
with errno, so MAY modify it after successful call
(it depends on particular free() implementation, OS-specific, etc.).
So, save errno across free() calls to make code portable and
POSIX-conformant.
2) Remove unused serrno assignment.

[ENOENT] A component of file_name does not name an existing file or
file_name points to an empty string.
[ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory, or the
file_name argument contains at least one non- <slash> character
and ends with one or more trailing <slash> characters and the last
pathname component names an existing file that is neither a
directory nor a symbolic link to a directory.
Add checks for the listed conditions, and set errno accordingly.

The code being imported by this commit diverged from
lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c in March 2010, which means that a portion of
the jemalloc 1.0.0 ChangeLog entries are relevant, as are the entries
for all subsequent releases.
The C11 folks reinvented the wheel by introducing an aligned version of
malloc(3) called aligned_alloc(3), instead of posix_memalign(3). Instead
of returning the allocation by reference, it returns the address, just
like malloc(3).

__noreturn macro and modify the other exiting functions to use it.
The __noreturn macro, unlike __dead2, must be used BEFORE the function.
This is in line with the C and C++ specifications that place _Noreturn (c1x)
and [[noreturn]] (C++11) in front of the functions. As with __dead2, this
macro falls back to using the GCC attribute.
Unfortunately, clang currently sets the same value for the C version macro
in C99 and C1x modes, so these functions are hidden by default. At some
point before 10.0, I need to go through the headers and clean up the C1x /
C++11 visibility.
