work around linux's lack of flags argument to fchmodat syscall
previously, the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag was ignored, giving
dangerously incorrect behavior -- the target of the symlink had its
modes changed to the modes (usually 0777) intended for the symlink).
this issue was amplified by the fact that musl provides lchmod, as a
wrapper for fchmodat, which some archival programs take as a sign that
symlink modes are supported and thus attempt to use.
emulating AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW was a difficult problem, and I
originally believed it could not be solved, at least not without
depending on kernels newer than 3.5.x or so where O_PATH works halfway
well. however, it turns out that accessing O_PATH file descriptors via
their pseudo-symlink entries in /proc/self/fd works much better than
trying to use the fd directly, and works even on older kernels.
moreover, the kernel has permanently pegged these references to the
inode obtained by the O_PATH open, so there should not be race
conditions with the file being moved, deleted, replaced, etc.

this bug was caught by the new footer-corruption check in realloc and
free.
if the block returned by malloc was already aligned to the desired
alignment, memalign's logic to split off the misaligned head was
incorrect; rather than writing to a point inside the allocated block,
it was overwriting the footer of the previous block on the heap with
the value 1 (length 0 plus an in-use flag).
fortunately, the impact of this bug was fairly low. (this is probably
why it was not caught sooner.) due to the way the heap works, malloc
will never return a block whose previous block is free. (doing so would
be harmful because it would increase fragmentation with no benefit.)
the footer is actually not needed for in-use blocks, except that its
in-use bit needs to remain set so that it does not get merged with
free blocks, so there was no harm in it being set to 1 instead of the
correct value.
however, there is one case where this bug could have had an impact: in
multi-threaded programs, if another thread freed the previous block
after memalign's call to malloc returned, but before memalign
overwrote the previous block's footer, the resulting block in the free
list could be left in a corrupt state. I have not analyzed the impact

disable legacy init/fini processing on ARM
since the old, poorly-thought-out musl approach to init/fini arrays on
ARM (when it was the only arch that needed them) was to put the code
in crti/crtn and have the legacy _init/_fini code run the arrays,
adding proper init/fini array support caused the arrays to get
processed twice on ARM. I'm not sure skipping legacy init/fini
processing is the best solution to the problem, but it works, and it
shouldn't break anything since the legacy init/fini system was never
used for ARM EABI.

refactor headers, especially alltypes.h, and improve C++ ABI compat
the arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.sh has been replaced with a generic
alltypes.h.in and minimal arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.in.
this commit is intended to have no functional changes except:
- exposing additional symbols that POSIX allows but does not require
- changing the C++ name mangling for some types
- fixing the signedness of blksize_t on powerpc (POSIX requires signed)
- fixing the limit macros for sig_atomic_t on x86_64
- making dev_t an unsigned type (ABI matching goal, and more logical)
in addition, some types that were wrongly defined with long on 32-bit
archs were changed to int, and vice versa; this change is
non-functional except for the possibility of making pointer types
mismatch, and only affects programs that were using them incorrectly,
and only at build-time, not runtime.
the following changes were made in the interest of moving
non-arch-specific types out of the alltypes system and into the
headers they're associated with, and also will tend to improve
application compatibility:
- netdb.h now includes netinet/in.h (for socklen_t and uint32_t)
- netinet/in.h now includes sys/socket.h and inttypes.h
- sys/resource.h now includes sys/time.h (for struct timeval)
- sys/wait.h now includes signal.h (for siginfo_t)
- langinfo.h now includes nl_types.h (for nl_item)
for the types in stdint.h:
- types which are of no interest to other headers were moved out of
the alltypes system.
- fast types for 8- and 64-bit are hard-coded (at least for now); only
the 16- and 32-bit ones have reason to vary by arch.
and the following types have been changed for C++ ABI purposes;
- mbstate_t now has a struct tag, __mbstate_t
- FILE's struct tag has been changed to _IO_FILE
- DIR's struct tag has been changed to __dirstream
- locale_t's struct tag has been changed to __locale_struct
- pthread_t is defined as unsigned long in C++ mode only
- fpos_t now has a struct tag, _G_fpos64_t
- fsid_t's struct tag has been changed to __fsid_t
- idtype_t has been made an enum type (also required by POSIX)
- nl_catd has been changed from long to void *
- siginfo_t's struct tag has been removed
- sigset_t's has been given a struct tag, __sigset_t
- stack_t has been given a struct tag, sigaltstack
- suseconds_t has been changed to long on 32-bit archs
- [u]intptr_t have been changed from long to int rank on 32-bit archs
- dev_t has been made unsigned

- grepped for __NEED, made sure types needed are still in alltypes

add support for init/fini array in main program, and greatly simplify
modern (4.7.x and later) gcc uses init/fini arrays, rather than the
legacy _init/_fini function pasting and crtbegin/crtend ctors/dtors
system, on most or all archs. some archs had already switched a long
time ago. without following this change, global ctors/dtors will cease
to work under musl when building with new gcc versions.
the most surprising part of this patch is that it actually reduces the
size of the init code, for both static and shared libc. this is
achieved by (1) unifying the handling main program and shared
libraries in the dynamic linker, and (2) eliminating the
glibc-inspired rube goldberg machine for passing around init and fini
function pointers. to clarify, some background:
the function signature for __libc_start_main was based on glibc, as
part of the original goal of being able to run some glibc-linked
binaries. it worked by having the crt1 code, which is linked into
every application, static or dynamic, obtain and pass pointers to the
init and fini functions, which __libc_start_main is then responsible
for using and recording for later use, as necessary. however, in
neither the static-linked nor dynamic-linked case do we actually need
crt1.o's help. with dynamic linking, all the pointers are available in
the _DYNAMIC block. with static linking, it's safe to simply access
the _init/_fini and __init_array_start, etc. symbols directly.
obviously changing the __libc_start_main function signature in an
incompatible way would break both old musl-linked programs and
glibc-linked programs, so let's not do that. instead, the function can
just ignore the information it doesn't need. new archs need not even
provide the useless args in their versions of crt1.o. existing archs
should continue to provide it as long as there is an interest in
having newly-linked applications be able to run on old versions of
musl; at some point in the future, this support can be removed.

improve [f]stat[v]fs functions, and possibly work around old kernels

reportedly some older kernels, including commonly used openvz kernels,
lack the f_flags field, resulting in applications reading random junk
as the mount flags; the common symptom seems to be wrongly considering
the filesystem to be mounted read-only and refusing to operate. glibc
has some amazingly ugly fallback code to get the mount flags for old
kernels, but having them really is not that important anyway; what
matters most is not presenting incorrect flags to the application.
I have also aimed to fill in some fields of statvfs that were
previously missing, and added code to explicitly zero the reserved
space at the end of the structure, which will make things easier in
the future if this space someday needs to be used.

make posix_spawn (and functions that use it) use CLONE_VFORK flag
this is both a minor scheduling optimization and a workaround for a
difficult-to-fix bug in qemu app-level emulation.
from the scheduling standpoint, it makes no sense to schedule the
parent thread again until the child has exec'd or exited, since the
parent will immediately block again waiting for it.
on the qemu side, as regular application code running on an underlying
libc, qemu cannot make arbitrary clone syscalls itself without
confusing the underlying implementation. instead, it breaks them down
into either fork-like or pthread_create-like cases. it was treating
the code in posix_spawn as pthread_create-like, due to CLONE_VM, which
caused horribly wrong behavior: CLONE_FILES broke the synchronization
mechanism, CLONE_SIGHAND broke the parent's signals, and CLONE_THREAD
caused the child's exec to end the parent -- if it hadn't already
crashed. however, qemu special-cases CLONE_VFORK and emulates that
with fork, even when CLONE_VM is also specified. this also gives
incorrect semantics for code that really needs the memory sharing, but
posix_spawn does not make use of the vm sharing except to avoid
momentary double commit charge.
programs using posix_spawn (including via popen) should now work
correctly under qemu app-level emulation.
