It hasn't been helpful enough to be justify the maintenance burden. What
actually does help is mprotect(), kprintf(), --ftrace and --strace which
can always be counted upon to work correctly. We aren't losing much with
this change. Support for ASAN on AARCH64 was never implemented. Applying
ASAN to the core libc runtimes was disabled many months ago. If there is
some way to have an ASAN runtime for user programs that is less invasive
we can potentially consider reintroducing support. But now is premature.
At least in neovim, `│vi:` is not recognized as a modeline because it
has no preceding whitespace. After fixing this, opening a file yields
an error because `net` is not an option. (`noet`, however, is.)
This change makes some miracle modifications to the System Five system
call support, which lets us have safe, correct, and atomic handling of
thread cancellations. It all turned out to be cheaper than anticipated
because it wasn't necessary to modify the system call veneers. We were
able to encode the cancellability of each system call into the magnums
found in libc/sysv/syscalls.sh. Since cancellations are so waq, we are
also supporting a lovely Musl Libc mask feature for raising ECANCELED.
