revert low rounds-count limits in crypt hashes
it was determined in discussion that these kind of limits are not
sufficient to protect single-threaded servers against denial of
service attacks from maliciously large round counts. the time scales
simply vary too much; many users will want login passwords with rounds
counts on a scale that gives decisecond latency, while highly loaded
webservers will need millisecond latency or shorter.
still some limit is left in place; the idea is not to protect against
attacks, but to avoid the runtime of a single call to crypt being, for
all practical purposes, infinite, so that configuration errors can be
caught and fixed without bringing down whole systems. these limits are
very high, on the order of minute-long runtimes for modest systems.

workaround gcc got-register-reload performance problems in malloc
with this patch, the malloc in libc.so built with -Os is nearly the
same speed as the one built with -O3. thus it solves the performance
regression that resulted from removing the forced -O3 when building
libc.so; now libc.so can be both small and fast.

remove forced -O3 from shared library CFLAGS
I originally added -O3 for shared libraries to counteract very bad
behavior by GCC when building PIC code: it insists on reloading the
GOT register in static functions that need it, even if the address of
the function is never leaked from the translation unit and all local
callers of the function have already loaded the GOT register. this
measurably degrades performance in a few key areas like malloc. the
inlining done at -O3 avoids the issue, but that's really not a good
reason for overriding the user's choice of optimization level.

improve mips syscall asm constraints to use immediates, if possible
by using the "ir" constraint (immediate or register) and the carefully
constructed instruction addu $2,$0,%2 which can take either an
immediate or a register for %2, the new inline asm admits maximal
optimization with no register spillage to the stack when the compiler
successfully performs constant propagration, but still works by
allocating a register when the syscall number cannot be recognized as
a constant. in the case of syscalls with 0-3 arguments it barely
matters, but for 4-argument syscalls, using an immediate for the
syscall number avoids creating a stack frame for the syscall wrapper
function.

eliminate assumption that mips syscall restart preserves r25
all past and current kernel versions have done so, but there seems to
be no reason it's necessary and the sentiment from everyone I've asked
has been that we should not rely on it. instead, use r7 (an argument
register) which will necessarily be preserved upon syscall restart.
however this only works for 0-3 argument syscalls, and we have to
resort to the function call for 4-argument syscalls.

further use of _Noreturn, for non-plain-C functions
note that POSIX does not specify these functions as _Noreturn, because
POSIX is aligned with C99, not the new C11 standard. when POSIX is

the _Noreturn attribute. for now, the actual _Noreturn keyword is not
used anyway when compiling with a c99 compiler, which is what POSIX
requires; the GCC __attribute__ is used instead if it's available,
however.
in a few places, I've added infinite for loops at the end of _Noreturn
functions to silence compiler warnings. presumably
__buildin_unreachable could achieve the same thing, but it would only
work on newer GCCs and would not be portable. the loops should have
near-zero code size cost anyway.

crt1 must align stack pointer on mips
it's naturally aligned when entered with the kernel argv array, but if
ld.so has been invoked explicitly to run a program, the stack will not
be aligned due to having thrown away argv[0].

fix extremely rare but dangerous race condition in robust mutexes
if new shared mappings of files/devices/shared memory can be made
between the time a robust mutex is unlocked and its subsequent removal
from the pending slot in the robustlist header, the kernel can
inadvertently corrupt data in the newly-mapped pages when the process
terminates. i am fixing the bug by using the same global vm lock
mechanism that was used to fix the race condition with unmapping
barriers after pthread_barrier_wait returns.

fix float parsing logic for long decimal expansions
this affects at least the case of very long inputs, but may also
affect shorter inputs that become long due to growth while upscaling.
basically, the logic for the circular buffer indices of the initial
base-10^9 digit and the slot one past the final digit, and for
simplicity of the loop logic, assumes an invariant that they're not
equal. the upscale loop, which can increase the length of the
base-10^9 representation, attempted to preserve this invariant, but
was actually only ensuring that the end index did not loop around past
the start index, not that the two never become equal.
the main (only?) effect of this bug was that subsequent logic treats
the excessively long number as having no digits, leading to junk
results.

improve headers to better deal with removed-in-posix-2008 features
with this patch, setting _POSIX_SOURCE, or setting _POSIX_C_SOURCE or
_XOPEN_SOURCE to an old version, will bring back the interfaces that
were removed in POSIX 2008 - at least the ones i've covered so far,
which are gethostby*, usleep, and ualarm. if there are other functions
still in widespread use that were removed for which similar changes
would be beneficial, they can be added just like this.
