* use a_store to set cancel flag in pthread_cancel, to ensure a barrierRich Felker2011-04-011-1/+1

* major improvements to cancellation handlingRich Felker2011-03-291-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - there is no longer any risk of spoofing cancellation requests, since the cancel flag is set in pthread_cancel rather than in the signal handler. - cancellation signal is no longer unblocked when running the cancellation handlers. instead, pthread_create will cause any new threads created from a cancellation handler to unblock their own cancellation signal. - various tweaks in preparation for POSIX timer support.
* syscall overhaul part two - unify public and internal syscall interfaceRich Felker2011-03-191-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | with this patch, the syscallN() functions are no longer needed; a variadic syscall() macro allows syscalls with anywhere from 0 to 6 arguments to be made with a single macro name. also, manually casting each non-integer argument with (long) is no longer necessary; the casts are hidden in the macros. some source files which depended on being able to define the old macro SYSCALL_RETURNS_ERRNO have been modified to directly use __syscall() instead of syscall(). references to SYSCALL_SIGSET_SIZE and SYSCALL_LL have also been changed. x86_64 has not been tested, and may need a follow-up commit to fix any minor bugs/oversights.
* initial check-in, version 0.5.0 v0.5.0Rich Felker2011-02-121-0/+7
