| * | fix several locks that weren't updated right for new futex-based __lock•••these could have caused memory corruption due to invalid accesses to
the next field. all should be fixed now; I found the errors with fgrep
-r '__lock(&', which is bogus since the argument should be an array.

| * | fix pthread_kill unlocking•••it had not been updated for the futex-based locks

| * | fix race condition in pthread_kill•••if thread id was reused by the kernel between the time pthread_kill
read it from the userspace pthread_t object and the time of the tgkill
syscall, a signal could be sent to the wrong thread. the tgkill
syscall was supposed to prevent this race (versus the old tkill
syscall) but it can't; it can only help in the case where the tid is
reused in a different process, but not when the tid is reused in the
same process.
the only solution i can see is an extra lock to prevent threads from
exiting while another thread is trying to pthread_kill them. it should
be very very cheap in the non-contended case.

| * | consistency: change all remaining syscalls to use SYS_ rather than __NR_ prefix | Rich Felker | 2011-04-06 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | if returning errno value directly from a syscall, we need to negate it. | Rich Felker | 2011-03-19 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | syscall overhaul part two - unify public and internal syscall interface•••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.
