>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!
