Most of the library routines share the same syscall return logic: In general, a 0 return value indicates success. A -1 return value indicates an error, and an error number is stored in errno. [1] Let's add a __sysret() helper for the above logic to simplify the coding and shrink the code lines too. Thomas suggested to use inline function instead of macro for __sysret(). Willy suggested to make __sysret() be always inline.
