close should not be cancellable after "failing" with EINTR

however, unlike all other syscalls, close has actually performed its

has no way of informing the program that the file descriptor was
closed, and the program may later try to close the file descriptor

overhaul rwlocks to address several issues
like mutexes and semaphores, rwlocks suffered from a race condition
where the unlock operation could access the lock memory after another
thread successfully obtained the lock (and possibly destroyed or
unmapped the object). this has been fixed in the same way it was fixed
for other lock types.
in addition, the previous implementation favored writers over readers.
in the absence of other considerations, that is the best behavior for
rwlocks, and posix explicitly allows it. however posix also requires
read locks to be recursive. if writers are favored, any attempt to
obtain a read lock while a writer is waiting for the lock will fail,
causing "recursive" read locks to deadlock. this can be avoided by
keeping track of which threads already hold read locks, but doing so
requires unbounded memory usage, and there must be a fallback case
that favors readers in case memory allocation failed. and all of this
must be synchronized. the cost, complexity, and risk of errors in
getting it right is too great, so we simply favor readers.
tracking of the owner of write locks has been removed, as it was not
useful for anything. it could allow deadlock detection, but it's not
clear to me that returning EDEADLK (which a buggy program is likely to
ignore) is better than deadlocking; at least the latter behavior
prevents further data corruption. a correct program cannot invoke this
situation anyway.
the reader count and write lock state, as well as the "last minute"
waiter flag have all been combined into a single atomic lock. this
means all state transitions for the lock are atomic compare-and-swap
operations. this makes establishing correctness much easier and may
improve performance.
finally, some code duplication has been cleaned up. more is called
for, especially the standard __timedwait idiom repeated in all locks.

overhaul posix semaphores to fix destructability race
the race condition these changes address is described in glibc bug
report number 12674:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12674
up until now, musl has shared the bug, and i had not been able to
figure out how to eliminate it. in short, the problem is that it's not
valid for sem_post to inspect the waiters count after incrementing the
semaphore value, because another thread may have already successfully
returned from sem_wait, (rightly) deemed itself the only remaining
user of the semaphore, and chosen to destroy and free it (or unmap the
shared memory it's stored in). POSIX is not explicit in blessing this
usage, but it gives a very explicit analogous example with mutexes
(which, in musl and glibc, also suffer from the same race condition
bug) in the rationale for pthread_mutex_destroy.
the new semaphore implementation augments the waiter count with a
redundant waiter indication in the semaphore value itself,
representing the presence of "last minute" waiters that may have
arrived after sem_post read the waiter count. this allows sem_post to
read the waiter count prior to incrementing the semaphore value,
rather than after incrementing it, so as to avoid accessing the
semaphore memory whatsoever after the increment takes place.
a similar, but much simpler, fix should be possible for mutexes and
other locking primitives whose usage rules are stricter than
semaphores.

new attempt at making set*id() safe and robust
changing credentials in a multi-threaded program is extremely
difficult on linux because it requires synchronizing the change
between all threads, which have their own thread-local credentials on
the kernel side. this is further complicated by the fact that changing
the real uid can fail due to exceeding RLIMIT_NPROC, making it
possible that the syscall will succeed in some threads but fail in
others.
the old __rsyscall approach being replaced was robust in that it would
report failure if any one thread failed, but in this case, the program
would be left in an inconsistent state where individual threads might
have different uid. (this was not as bad as glibc, which would
sometimes even fail to report the failure entirely!)
the new approach being committed refuses to change real user id when
it cannot temporarily set the rlimit to infinity. this is completely
POSIX conformant since POSIX does not require an implementation to
allow real-user-id changes for non-privileged processes whatsoever.
still, setting the real uid can fail due to memory allocation in the
kernel, but this can only happen if there is not already a cached
object for the target user. thus, we forcibly serialize the syscalls
attempts, and fail the entire operation on the first failure. this
*should* lead to an all-or-nothing success/failure result, but it's
still fragile and highly dependent on kernel developers not breaking
things worse than they're already broken.
ideally linux will eventually add a CLONE_USERCRED flag that would
give POSIX conformant credential changes without any hacks from
userspace, and all of this code would become redundant and could be
removed ~10 years down the line when everyone has abandoned the old
broken kernels. i'm not holding my breath...

iconv was not returning -1 on most failure
this broke most uses of iconv in real-world programs, especially
glib's iconv wrappers.

fill in junk in stropts.h
STREAMS are utterly useless as far as I can tell, but some software
was apparently broken by the presence of stropts.h but lack of macros
it's supposed to define...

catch invalid ld80 bit patterns and treat them as nan
this should not be necessary - the invalid bit patterns cannot be
created except through type punning. however, some broken gnu software
is passing them to printf and triggering dangerous stack-smashing, so
let's catch them anyway...

add and consolidate nasty stdio_ext junk

implement the nonstandard GNU function fpurge
this is a really ugly and backwards function, but its presence will
prevent lots of broken gnulib software from trying to define its own
version of fpurge and thereby failing to build or worse.

work around linux bug in mprotect
per POSIX: The mprotect() function shall change the access protections
to be that specified by prot for those whole pages containing any part
of the address space of the process starting at address addr and
continuing for len bytes.
on the other hand, linux mprotect fails with EINVAL if the base
address and/or length is not page-aligned, so we have to align them
before making the syscall.

use load address from elf header if possible
this is mostly useless for shared libs (though it could help for
