>Organization:
The PthreadBSD Signalcancellation
>Environment:
>Description:
Under POSIX.1-2024, pthread_setcancelstate is required to be async-signal-safe: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799.2024edition/functions/pthread_setcanceltype.html

However, ours is not: it takes pt_lock, which is an ordinary mutex, and so it can't be async-signal-safe.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to use pthread_setcancelstate from a signal handler
>Fix:
Yes, please!

 Log Message:
 pthread_cancel(3): Rework.

 Make pthread_setcancelstate(3) async-signal-safe.  (As a side effect,
 this also makes pthread_setcanceltype(3) async-signal-safe, although
 that is not required.)

 Log Message:
 pthread_cancel(3): Use _Atomic consistently with C11 atomics.

 Should fix clang build:

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	riastradh
 Date:		Fri Apr  4 20:40:58 UTC 2025

 Modified Files:
 	src/lib/libpthread: pthread_cancelstub.c

 Log Message:
 libpthread: Use typeof rather than copying signatures of cancelstubs.

 This would have caught my previous mistake with paccept.

 Omit needless declarations that are already covered by the
 compat/*/*.h header files.

 No functional change intended.  This is purely an improvement to
 build-time error detection.
