Static applications that call pthread_exit on the main
thread segfault. This is because after a thread terminates
__libc_start_main decrements __nptl_nthreads which is only
defined in pthread_create. Therefore the right solution is
to add a requirement to pthread_create from pthread_exit.

[BZ #12310]
* pthread_exit.c: Add reference to pthread_create.
This patch introduces two new convenience functions to set the default
thread attributes used for creating threads. This allows a programmer
to set the default thread attributes just once in a process and then
run pthread_create without additional attributes.
Resolves BZ #15618.
pthread_attr_getaffinity_np may write beyond bounds of the input
cpuset buffer if the size of the input buffer is smaller than the
buffer present in the input pthread attributes. Fix is to copy to the
extent of the minimum of the source and the destination.
It is very very possible that the futex syscall returns an
error and that the caller of lll_futex_wake may want to
look at that error and propagate the failure.
This patch allows a caller to see the syscall error.
There are no users of the syscall error at present, but
future cleanups are now be able to check for the error.

The sem_post.c file uses atomic functions without including
atomic.h. Add `#include <atomic.h>' to the file to prevent
any compile time warnings when other headers change and
atomic.h isn't implicitly included.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sem_post.c: Include atomic.h.
Fixes BZ #15337.
Static builds fail with the following warning:
/home/tools/glibc/glibc/nptl/../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/cancellation.S:80:
undefined reference to `__GI___pthread_unwind'
When the source is configured with --disable-hidden-plt. This is
because the preprocessor conditional in cancellation.S only checks if
the build is for SHARED, whereas hidden_def is defined appropriately
only for a SHARED build that will have symbol versioning *and* hidden
defs are enabled. The last case is false here.
This reverts the change that allows the POSIX Thread default stack size
to be changed by the environment variable
GLIBC_PTHREAD_DEFAULT_STACKSIZE. It has been requested that more
discussion happen before this change goes into 2.18.
This feature is specifically for the C++ compiler to offload calling
thread_local object destructors on thread program exit, to glibc.
This is to overcome the possible complication of destructors of
thread_local objects getting called after the DSO in which they're
defined is unloaded by the dynamic linker. The DSO is marked as
'unloadable' if it has a constructed thread_local object and marked as
'unloadable' again when all the constructed thread_local objects
defined in it are destroyed.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/i486/pthread_cond_timedwait.S
(__pthread_cond_timedwait): If possible use FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET to
directly use absolute timeout.
