If a call to the set*id functions fails in a multi-threaded program,
the abort introduced in commit 13f7fe35ae
was triggered.
We address by checking that all calls to set*id on all threads give
the same result, and only abort if we see success followed by failure
(or vice versa).
At this point, we can only abort the process because we have already
switched credentials on other threads. Returning an error would still
leave the process in an inconsistent state.
The new xtest needs root privileges to run.
This patch introduces two new convenience functions to set the default
thread attributes used for creating threads. This allows a programmer
to set the default thread attributes just once in a process and then
run pthread_create without additional attributes.
This reverts the change that allows the POSIX Thread default stack size
to be changed by the environment variable
GLIBC_PTHREAD_DEFAULT_STACKSIZE. It has been requested that more
discussion happen before this change goes into 2.18.
