Rich Felker 4ef9b828c1 remove cancellation points in stdio
commit 5816592389 added these optional
cancellation points on the basis that cancellable stdio could be
useful, to unblock threads stuck on stdio operations that will never
complete. however, the only way to ensure that cancellation can
achieve this is to violate the rules for side effects when
cancellation is acted upon, discarding knowledge of any partial data
transfer already completed. our implementation exhibited this behavior
and was thus non-conforming.

in addition to improving correctness, removing these cancellation
points moderately reduces code size, and should significantly improve
performance on i386, where sysenter/syscall instructions can be used
instead of "int $128" for non-cancellable syscalls.

    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:
