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 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

The choice between the kill vs tgkill system calls is not just about
the TID reuse race, but also about whether the signal is sent to the
whole process (and any thread in it) or to a specific thread.
This was caught by the openposix test suite:
LTP: openposix test suite - FAIL: SIGUSR1 is member of new thread pendingset.

Fixes commit 526c3cf11e ("nptl: Fix race
between pthread_kill and thread exit (bug 12889)").

The fix for bug 19193 breaks some old applications which appear
to use pthread_kill to probe if a thread is still running, something
that is not supported by POSIX.
A new thread exit lock and flag are introduced. They are used to
detect that the thread is about to exit or has exited in
__pthread_kill_internal, and the signal is not sent in this case.
The test sysdeps/pthread/tst-pthread_cancel-select-loop.c is derived
from a downstream test originally written by Marek Polacek.

This closes one remaining race condition related to bug 12889: if
the thread already exited on the kernel side, returning ESRCH
is not correct because that error is reserved for the thread IDs
(pthread_t values) whose lifetime has ended. In case of a
kernel-side exit and a valid thread ID, no signal needs to be sent
and cancellation does not have an effect, so just return 0.
sysdeps/pthread/tst-kill4.c triggers undefined behavior and is
removed with this commit.

It consolidates the tgkill call and it is the first step of making
pthread_cancel async-signal-safe. It also fix a possible issue
where the 'struct pthread' tid is not read atomically, which might
send an invalid cancellation signal (similar to what
db988e50a8 fixed for pthread_join).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
Now that pthread_kill is provided by libc.so it is possible to
implement the generic POSIX implementation as
'pthread_kill(pthread_self(), sig)'.
For Linux implementation, pthread_kill read the targeting TID from
the TCB. For raise, this it not possible because it would make raise
fail when issue after vfork (where creates the resulting process
has a different TID from the parent, but its TCB is not updated as
for pthread_create). To make raise use pthread_kill, it is make
usable from vfork by getting the target thread id through gettid
syscall.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
The nptl already expects a Linux syscall internally. Also
__is_internal_signal is used and the DEBUGGING_P check is removed.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
