SoC progress on futexes

I got a little bored today so I looked at futexes. The progress was quite fast and now we pass futex testing program. The only downside is that with definitely wrong kernel code ;) But I hope to fix this really soon now. I asked Konstantin Belousov to help me with those things that remain. But now when I cracked the problem I guess we will have fully working futexes in like a week or so…

My *at patch (currently implementing 3 syscalls) is pending review from Robert Watson but I hope it was dont right this time and will be commited. I also have experimental patch “fixing” SysV SHM memory usage in Linuxulator but no time to test it :( please help if you can!

At this pace I think 2.6 emulation in 7.0R will be pretty usable and almost production ready!
