Rich Felker 0ec49dab67 fix async thread cancellation on powerpc64
entering the local entry point for __cancel from __cp_cancel is valid
if __cp_cancel was reached from __syscall_cp, since both are in libc
and share the same TOC pointer, but it is not valid if __cp_cancel was
reached when cancel_handler rewrote the program counter for
asynchronous cancellation of code outside libc.

to ensure __cancel is entered with a valid TOC pointer, recompute the
correct value in a PC-relative manner before jumping.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
