work around a nasty bug in linux readv syscall
according to posix, readv "shall be equivalent to read(), except..."
that it places the data into the buffers specified by the iov array.
however on linux, when reading from a terminal, each iov element
behaves almost like a separate read. this means that if the first iov
exactly satisfied the request (e.g. a length-one read of '\n') and the
second iov is nonzero length, the syscall will block again after
getting the blank line from the terminal until another line is read.
simply put, entering a single blank line becomes impossible.
the solution, fortunately, is simple. whenever the buffer size is
nonzero, reduce the length of the requested read by one byte and let
the last byte go through the buffer. this way, readv will already be
in the second (and last) iov, and won't re-block on the second iov.

move rsyscall out of pthread_create module
this is something of a tradeoff, as now set*id() functions, rather

1. it's cleaner this way, especially cleaner to optimize out the
rsyscall locking overhead from pthread_create when it's not needed.
2. it's expected that only a tiny number of core system programs will
ever use set*id() functions, whereas many programs may want to use

fix race condition in rsyscall handler
the problem: there is a (single-instruction) race condition window
between a thread flagging itself dead and decrementing itself from the

succeed, and will deadlock forever. in previous versions of musl, the
about-to-terminate thread masked all signals prior to decrementing
the thread count, but this cost a whole syscall just to account for
extremely rare races.
the solution is a huge hack: rather than blocking in the signal
handler if the thread is dead, modify the signal mask of the saved
context and return in order to prevent further signal handling by the
dead thread. this allows the dead thread to continue decrementing the
thread count (if it had not yet done so) and exiting, even while the
