Since the FUTEX_WAIT operation takes a relative timeout, the
pthread_cond_timedwait and other timed function implementations have
to get a relative timeout from the absolute timeout parameter it gets
before it makes the futex syscall. This value is then converted back
into an absolute timeout within the kernel. This is a waste and has
hence been improved upon by a FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET operation (OR'd with
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME to make the kernel use the realtime clock instead
of the default monotonic clock). This was implemented only in the x86
and sh assembly code and not in the C code. This patch implements
support for FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET whenever available (since linux-2.6.29)
for s390 and powerpc.

The macro pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np in pthread.h has a misaligned
line continuation marker. This marker was previously aligned, but
recent changes have moved it out of alignment. This change realigns
the marker. This also reduces the diff against the hppa version of
pthread.h where the marker is aligned.
[BZ #14652]
When a thread waiting in pthread_cond_wait with a PI mutex is
cancelled after it has returned successfully from the futex syscall
but just before async cancellation is disabled, it enters its
cancellation handler with the mutex held and simply calling a
mutex_lock again will result in a deadlock. Hence, it is necessary to
see if the thread owns the lock and try to lock it only if it doesn't.

the case of a 64-bit debugger with a 32-bit inferior.
[BZ #14417]
A futex call with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI returns with the mutex locked
on success. If such a successful thread is pipped to the cond_lock by
another spuriously woken waiter, it could be sent back to wait on the
futex with the mutex lock held, thus causing a deadlock. So it is
necessary that the thread relinquishes the mutex before going back to
sleep.
[BZ #14477]
Add an additional entry in the exception table to jump to
__condvar_w_cleanup2 instead of __condvar_w_cleanup for PI mutexes
when %ebx contains the address of the futex instead of the condition
variable.
