I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found

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).

Commit 43c29487 tried to fix the vfork aliases in libpthread.so on MIPS
and SPARC, but failed to do it correctly, introducing an ABI change.
This patch does the remaining changes needed to align the MIPS and SPARC
vfork implementations with the other architectures. That way the the
alpha version of pt-vfork.S works correctly for MIPS and SPARC. The
changes for alpha were done in 82aab97c.
Changelog:
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/vfork.S (__vfork): Rename into
__libc_vfork.
(__vfork) [IS_IN (libc)]: Remove alias.
(__libc_vfork) [IS_IN (libc)]: Define as an alias.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc32/vfork.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/vfork.S: Likewise.
With recent binutils versions the GNU libc fails to build on at least
MISP and SPARC, with this kind of error:
/home/aurel32/glibc/glibc-build/nptl/libpthread.so:(*IND*+0x0): multiple definition of `vfork@GLIBC_2.0'
/home/aurel32/glibc/glibc-build/nptl/libpthread.so::(.text+0xee50): first defined here
It appears that on these architectures pt-vfork.S includes vfork.S
(through the alpha version of pt-vfork.S) and that the __vfork aliases
are not conditionalized on IS_IN (libc) like on other architectures.
Therefore the aliases are also wrongly included in libpthread.so.
Fix this by properly conditionalizing the aliases like on other
architectures.

hidden_def, weak_alias and strong_alias on [IS_IN (libc)].
