Fix clone (CLONE_VM) pid/tid reset (BZ#19957) As discussed in libc-alpha [1] current clone with CLONE_VM (without CLONE_THREAD set) will reset the pthread pid/tid fields to -1. The issue is since memory is shared between the parent and child it will clobber parent's cached pid/tid leading to internal inconsistencies if the value is not restored. And even it is restored it may lead to racy conditions when between set/restore a thread might invoke pthread function that validate the pthread with INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P and thus get wrong results. As stated in BZ19957, previously reports of this behaviour was close with EWONTFIX due the fact usage of clone outside glibc is tricky since glibc requires consistent internal pthread, while using clone directly may not provide it. However since now posix_spawn uses clone (CLONE_VM) to fixes various issues related to previous vfork usage this issue requires fixing. The vfork implementation also does something similar, but instead it negates and restores only the *pid* field and functions that might access its value know to handle such case (getpid, raise and pthread ones that uses INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P macros that check only *tid* field). Also vfork does not call __clone directly, instead calling either __NR_vfork or __NR_clone directly. So this patch removes this clone behavior by avoiding setting the pthread pid/tid field for CLONE_VM. There is no need to check for CLONE_THREAD, since the minimum supported kernel in all architecture implies that CLONE_VM must be used with CLONE_THREAD, otherwise clone returns EINVAL. Instead of current approach of: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_THREAD) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value; if (flags & CLONE_VM) new_value = -1; else new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] The new approach uses: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_VM) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] It also removes the linux tst-getpid2.c test which expects the previous behavior and instead add another clone test. Tested on x86_64, i686, x32, powerpc64le, aarch64, armhf, s390, and s390x. I also did limited check on mips32 and sparc64 (using the new added test). I also got reviews from both m68k, hppa, and tile. So I presume for these architecture the patch works. The fixes for alpha, microblaze, sh, ia64, and nio2 have not been tested.

Remove cached PID/TID in clone This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall, however it adds some issues: - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957). - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for both clone and vfork implementation). - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

Fix clone (CLONE_VM) pid/tid reset (BZ#19957) As discussed in libc-alpha [1] current clone with CLONE_VM (without CLONE_THREAD set) will reset the pthread pid/tid fields to -1. The issue is since memory is shared between the parent and child it will clobber parent's cached pid/tid leading to internal inconsistencies if the value is not restored. And even it is restored it may lead to racy conditions when between set/restore a thread might invoke pthread function that validate the pthread with INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P and thus get wrong results. As stated in BZ19957, previously reports of this behaviour was close with EWONTFIX due the fact usage of clone outside glibc is tricky since glibc requires consistent internal pthread, while using clone directly may not provide it. However since now posix_spawn uses clone (CLONE_VM) to fixes various issues related to previous vfork usage this issue requires fixing. The vfork implementation also does something similar, but instead it negates and restores only the *pid* field and functions that might access its value know to handle such case (getpid, raise and pthread ones that uses INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P macros that check only *tid* field). Also vfork does not call __clone directly, instead calling either __NR_vfork or __NR_clone directly. So this patch removes this clone behavior by avoiding setting the pthread pid/tid field for CLONE_VM. There is no need to check for CLONE_THREAD, since the minimum supported kernel in all architecture implies that CLONE_VM must be used with CLONE_THREAD, otherwise clone returns EINVAL. Instead of current approach of: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_THREAD) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value; if (flags & CLONE_VM) new_value = -1; else new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] The new approach uses: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_VM) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] It also removes the linux tst-getpid2.c test which expects the previous behavior and instead add another clone test. Tested on x86_64, i686, x32, powerpc64le, aarch64, armhf, s390, and s390x. I also did limited check on mips32 and sparc64 (using the new added test). I also got reviews from both m68k, hppa, and tile. So I presume for these architecture the patch works. The fixes for alpha, microblaze, sh, ia64, and nio2 have not been tested.

Fix clone (CLONE_VM) pid/tid reset (BZ#19957) As discussed in libc-alpha [1] current clone with CLONE_VM (without CLONE_THREAD set) will reset the pthread pid/tid fields to -1. The issue is since memory is shared between the parent and child it will clobber parent's cached pid/tid leading to internal inconsistencies if the value is not restored. And even it is restored it may lead to racy conditions when between set/restore a thread might invoke pthread function that validate the pthread with INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P and thus get wrong results. As stated in BZ19957, previously reports of this behaviour was close with EWONTFIX due the fact usage of clone outside glibc is tricky since glibc requires consistent internal pthread, while using clone directly may not provide it. However since now posix_spawn uses clone (CLONE_VM) to fixes various issues related to previous vfork usage this issue requires fixing. The vfork implementation also does something similar, but instead it negates and restores only the *pid* field and functions that might access its value know to handle such case (getpid, raise and pthread ones that uses INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P macros that check only *tid* field). Also vfork does not call __clone directly, instead calling either __NR_vfork or __NR_clone directly. So this patch removes this clone behavior by avoiding setting the pthread pid/tid field for CLONE_VM. There is no need to check for CLONE_THREAD, since the minimum supported kernel in all architecture implies that CLONE_VM must be used with CLONE_THREAD, otherwise clone returns EINVAL. Instead of current approach of: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_THREAD) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value; if (flags & CLONE_VM) new_value = -1; else new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] The new approach uses: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_VM) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] It also removes the linux tst-getpid2.c test which expects the previous behavior and instead add another clone test. Tested on x86_64, i686, x32, powerpc64le, aarch64, armhf, s390, and s390x. I also did limited check on mips32 and sparc64 (using the new added test). I also got reviews from both m68k, hppa, and tile. So I presume for these architecture the patch works. The fixes for alpha, microblaze, sh, ia64, and nio2 have not been tested.

Remove cached PID/TID in clone This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall, however it adds some issues: - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957). - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for both clone and vfork implementation). - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

FAIL_EXIT1 ("sigprocmask failed: %m");
Fix clone (CLONE_VM) pid/tid reset (BZ#19957) As discussed in libc-alpha [1] current clone with CLONE_VM (without CLONE_THREAD set) will reset the pthread pid/tid fields to -1. The issue is since memory is shared between the parent and child it will clobber parent's cached pid/tid leading to internal inconsistencies if the value is not restored. And even it is restored it may lead to racy conditions when between set/restore a thread might invoke pthread function that validate the pthread with INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P and thus get wrong results. As stated in BZ19957, previously reports of this behaviour was close with EWONTFIX due the fact usage of clone outside glibc is tricky since glibc requires consistent internal pthread, while using clone directly may not provide it. However since now posix_spawn uses clone (CLONE_VM) to fixes various issues related to previous vfork usage this issue requires fixing. The vfork implementation also does something similar, but instead it negates and restores only the *pid* field and functions that might access its value know to handle such case (getpid, raise and pthread ones that uses INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P macros that check only *tid* field). Also vfork does not call __clone directly, instead calling either __NR_vfork or __NR_clone directly. So this patch removes this clone behavior by avoiding setting the pthread pid/tid field for CLONE_VM. There is no need to check for CLONE_THREAD, since the minimum supported kernel in all architecture implies that CLONE_VM must be used with CLONE_THREAD, otherwise clone returns EINVAL. Instead of current approach of: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_THREAD) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value; if (flags & CLONE_VM) new_value = -1; else new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] The new approach uses: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_VM) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] It also removes the linux tst-getpid2.c test which expects the previous behavior and instead add another clone test. Tested on x86_64, i686, x32, powerpc64le, aarch64, armhf, s390, and s390x. I also did limited check on mips32 and sparc64 (using the new added test). I also got reviews from both m68k, hppa, and tile. So I presume for these architecture the patch works. The fixes for alpha, microblaze, sh, ia64, and nio2 have not been tested.

Remove cached PID/TID in clone This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall, however it adds some issues: - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957). - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for both clone and vfork implementation). - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

Fix clone (CLONE_VM) pid/tid reset (BZ#19957) As discussed in libc-alpha [1] current clone with CLONE_VM (without CLONE_THREAD set) will reset the pthread pid/tid fields to -1. The issue is since memory is shared between the parent and child it will clobber parent's cached pid/tid leading to internal inconsistencies if the value is not restored. And even it is restored it may lead to racy conditions when between set/restore a thread might invoke pthread function that validate the pthread with INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P and thus get wrong results. As stated in BZ19957, previously reports of this behaviour was close with EWONTFIX due the fact usage of clone outside glibc is tricky since glibc requires consistent internal pthread, while using clone directly may not provide it. However since now posix_spawn uses clone (CLONE_VM) to fixes various issues related to previous vfork usage this issue requires fixing. The vfork implementation also does something similar, but instead it negates and restores only the *pid* field and functions that might access its value know to handle such case (getpid, raise and pthread ones that uses INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P macros that check only *tid* field). Also vfork does not call __clone directly, instead calling either __NR_vfork or __NR_clone directly. So this patch removes this clone behavior by avoiding setting the pthread pid/tid field for CLONE_VM. There is no need to check for CLONE_THREAD, since the minimum supported kernel in all architecture implies that CLONE_VM must be used with CLONE_THREAD, otherwise clone returns EINVAL. Instead of current approach of: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_THREAD) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value; if (flags & CLONE_VM) new_value = -1; else new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] The new approach uses: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_VM) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] It also removes the linux tst-getpid2.c test which expects the previous behavior and instead add another clone test. Tested on x86_64, i686, x32, powerpc64le, aarch64, armhf, s390, and s390x. I also did limited check on mips32 and sparc64 (using the new added test). I also got reviews from both m68k, hppa, and tile. So I presume for these architecture the patch works. The fixes for alpha, microblaze, sh, ia64, and nio2 have not been tested.

Remove cached PID/TID in clone This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall, however it adds some issues: - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957). - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for both clone and vfork implementation). - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

Fix clone (CLONE_VM) pid/tid reset (BZ#19957) As discussed in libc-alpha [1] current clone with CLONE_VM (without CLONE_THREAD set) will reset the pthread pid/tid fields to -1. The issue is since memory is shared between the parent and child it will clobber parent's cached pid/tid leading to internal inconsistencies if the value is not restored. And even it is restored it may lead to racy conditions when between set/restore a thread might invoke pthread function that validate the pthread with INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P and thus get wrong results. As stated in BZ19957, previously reports of this behaviour was close with EWONTFIX due the fact usage of clone outside glibc is tricky since glibc requires consistent internal pthread, while using clone directly may not provide it. However since now posix_spawn uses clone (CLONE_VM) to fixes various issues related to previous vfork usage this issue requires fixing. The vfork implementation also does something similar, but instead it negates and restores only the *pid* field and functions that might access its value know to handle such case (getpid, raise and pthread ones that uses INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P macros that check only *tid* field). Also vfork does not call __clone directly, instead calling either __NR_vfork or __NR_clone directly. So this patch removes this clone behavior by avoiding setting the pthread pid/tid field for CLONE_VM. There is no need to check for CLONE_THREAD, since the minimum supported kernel in all architecture implies that CLONE_VM must be used with CLONE_THREAD, otherwise clone returns EINVAL. Instead of current approach of: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_THREAD) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value; if (flags & CLONE_VM) new_value = -1; else new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] The new approach uses: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_VM) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] It also removes the linux tst-getpid2.c test which expects the previous behavior and instead add another clone test. Tested on x86_64, i686, x32, powerpc64le, aarch64, armhf, s390, and s390x. I also did limited check on mips32 and sparc64 (using the new added test). I also got reviews from both m68k, hppa, and tile. So I presume for these architecture the patch works. The fixes for alpha, microblaze, sh, ia64, and nio2 have not been tested.

Remove cached PID/TID in clone This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall, however it adds some issues: - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957). - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for both clone and vfork implementation). - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

FAIL_EXIT1 ("read pid failed: %m");
Fix clone (CLONE_VM) pid/tid reset (BZ#19957) As discussed in libc-alpha [1] current clone with CLONE_VM (without CLONE_THREAD set) will reset the pthread pid/tid fields to -1. The issue is since memory is shared between the parent and child it will clobber parent's cached pid/tid leading to internal inconsistencies if the value is not restored. And even it is restored it may lead to racy conditions when between set/restore a thread might invoke pthread function that validate the pthread with INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P and thus get wrong results. As stated in BZ19957, previously reports of this behaviour was close with EWONTFIX due the fact usage of clone outside glibc is tricky since glibc requires consistent internal pthread, while using clone directly may not provide it. However since now posix_spawn uses clone (CLONE_VM) to fixes various issues related to previous vfork usage this issue requires fixing. The vfork implementation also does something similar, but instead it negates and restores only the *pid* field and functions that might access its value know to handle such case (getpid, raise and pthread ones that uses INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P macros that check only *tid* field). Also vfork does not call __clone directly, instead calling either __NR_vfork or __NR_clone directly. So this patch removes this clone behavior by avoiding setting the pthread pid/tid field for CLONE_VM. There is no need to check for CLONE_THREAD, since the minimum supported kernel in all architecture implies that CLONE_VM must be used with CLONE_THREAD, otherwise clone returns EINVAL. Instead of current approach of: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_THREAD) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value; if (flags & CLONE_VM) new_value = -1; else new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] The new approach uses: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_VM) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] It also removes the linux tst-getpid2.c test which expects the previous behavior and instead add another clone test. Tested on x86_64, i686, x32, powerpc64le, aarch64, armhf, s390, and s390x. I also did limited check on mips32 and sparc64 (using the new added test). I also got reviews from both m68k, hppa, and tile. So I presume for these architecture the patch works. The fixes for alpha, microblaze, sh, ia64, and nio2 have not been tested.

Remove cached PID/TID in clone This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall, however it adds some issues: - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957). - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for both clone and vfork implementation). - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

Fix clone (CLONE_VM) pid/tid reset (BZ#19957) As discussed in libc-alpha [1] current clone with CLONE_VM (without CLONE_THREAD set) will reset the pthread pid/tid fields to -1. The issue is since memory is shared between the parent and child it will clobber parent's cached pid/tid leading to internal inconsistencies if the value is not restored. And even it is restored it may lead to racy conditions when between set/restore a thread might invoke pthread function that validate the pthread with INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P and thus get wrong results. As stated in BZ19957, previously reports of this behaviour was close with EWONTFIX due the fact usage of clone outside glibc is tricky since glibc requires consistent internal pthread, while using clone directly may not provide it. However since now posix_spawn uses clone (CLONE_VM) to fixes various issues related to previous vfork usage this issue requires fixing. The vfork implementation also does something similar, but instead it negates and restores only the *pid* field and functions that might access its value know to handle such case (getpid, raise and pthread ones that uses INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P macros that check only *tid* field). Also vfork does not call __clone directly, instead calling either __NR_vfork or __NR_clone directly. So this patch removes this clone behavior by avoiding setting the pthread pid/tid field for CLONE_VM. There is no need to check for CLONE_THREAD, since the minimum supported kernel in all architecture implies that CLONE_VM must be used with CLONE_THREAD, otherwise clone returns EINVAL. Instead of current approach of: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_THREAD) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value; if (flags & CLONE_VM) new_value = -1; else new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] The new approach uses: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_VM) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] It also removes the linux tst-getpid2.c test which expects the previous behavior and instead add another clone test. Tested on x86_64, i686, x32, powerpc64le, aarch64, armhf, s390, and s390x. I also did limited check on mips32 and sparc64 (using the new added test). I also got reviews from both m68k, hppa, and tile. So I presume for these architecture the patch works. The fixes for alpha, microblaze, sh, ia64, and nio2 have not been tested.

Remove cached PID/TID in clone This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall, however it adds some issues: - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957). - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for both clone and vfork implementation). - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

Fix clone (CLONE_VM) pid/tid reset (BZ#19957) As discussed in libc-alpha [1] current clone with CLONE_VM (without CLONE_THREAD set) will reset the pthread pid/tid fields to -1. The issue is since memory is shared between the parent and child it will clobber parent's cached pid/tid leading to internal inconsistencies if the value is not restored. And even it is restored it may lead to racy conditions when between set/restore a thread might invoke pthread function that validate the pthread with INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P and thus get wrong results. As stated in BZ19957, previously reports of this behaviour was close with EWONTFIX due the fact usage of clone outside glibc is tricky since glibc requires consistent internal pthread, while using clone directly may not provide it. However since now posix_spawn uses clone (CLONE_VM) to fixes various issues related to previous vfork usage this issue requires fixing. The vfork implementation also does something similar, but instead it negates and restores only the *pid* field and functions that might access its value know to handle such case (getpid, raise and pthread ones that uses INVALID_TD_P/INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P macros that check only *tid* field). Also vfork does not call __clone directly, instead calling either __NR_vfork or __NR_clone directly. So this patch removes this clone behavior by avoiding setting the pthread pid/tid field for CLONE_VM. There is no need to check for CLONE_THREAD, since the minimum supported kernel in all architecture implies that CLONE_VM must be used with CLONE_THREAD, otherwise clone returns EINVAL. Instead of current approach of: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_THREAD) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value; if (flags & CLONE_VM) new_value = -1; else new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] The new approach uses: int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack, int flags, ...) [...] if (flags & CLONE_VM) goto do_syscall; pid_t new_value = getpid (); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, pid, new_value); THREAD_SETMEM (THREAD_SELF, tid, new_value); do_syscall: [...] It also removes the linux tst-getpid2.c test which expects the previous behavior and instead add another clone test. Tested on x86_64, i686, x32, powerpc64le, aarch64, armhf, s390, and s390x. I also did limited check on mips32 and sparc64 (using the new added test). I also got reviews from both m68k, hppa, and tile. So I presume for these architecture the patch works. The fixes for alpha, microblaze, sh, ia64, and nio2 have not been tested.

Remove cached PID/TID in clone This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall, however it adds some issues: - The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and [1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms (such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957). - The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for both clone and vfork implementation). - Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4], either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution). Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread cancellation signal and handling. For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache and invalidate each element pid. Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue). However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is justifiable. It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation. And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that this patch also solves: - microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field - hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork. Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it. The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this semantics. I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le. For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).
