The current code for nocancel syscalls does not do a comparison of
the system call return value. This leads to code being generated
where the b.cs follows the svc instruction directly without setting
the flags on which the branch depends.

ChangeLog:

2014-05-19  Will Newton  <will.newton@linaro.org>

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/nptl/sysdep-cancel.h (PSEUDO):
	Test the return value of the system call in the nocancel case.
---

Note that I suspect the reason I saw this issue was due to some change in
the way sysdep-cancel.h is getting included which may or may not be
correct.

Looks like an obvious fix. OK /Marcus

I hit the same thing this week in Fedora... I ended up bisecting the
change to

commit 2fbdf5339aaeaa423bd661524f7ec7af41fa2606
Author: Roland McGrath <roland@hack.frob.com>
Date:   Wed May 14 11:06:36 2014 -0700

    Consolidate not-cancel.h files.

which makes some sense, since it looks like we may have previously not
been using the correct calls until this patch, and hence why prior to
this, without your fix, we weren't seeing obvious failures in the
test-suite.

regards, Kyle
