SYS_modify_ldt requires CONFIG_MODIFY_LDT_SYSCALL to be set in the kernel, which
some distributions may disable for hardening. Check if that's the case (unset)
and mark the test as UNSUPPORTED if so.

All callers pass 1 or 0x11 anyway (same meaning according to man page),
but still.

So I was able to reproduce the hangs in the original source, and debug
it, and fix it. In doing so, I realized that we can't use anything
complex to trigger the thread because that "anything" might also cause
the expected segfault and force everything out of sync again.
Here's what I ended up with, and it doesn't seem to hang where the
original one hung quite often (in a tight while..end loop). The key
changes are:
1. Calls to futex are error checked, with retries, to ensure that the
futexes are actually doing what they're supposed to be doing. In the
original code, nearly every futex call returned an error.
2. The main loop has checks for whether the thread ran or not, and
"unlocks" the thread if it didn't (this is how the original source
hangs).
Note: the usleep() is not for timing purposes, but just to give the
kernel an excuse to run the other thread at that time. The test will
not hang without it, but is more likely to test the right bugfix
if the usleep() is present.
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.

This patch fixes the i386 sa_restorer field initialization for sigaction
syscall for kernel with vDSO. As described in bug report, i386 Linux
(and compat on x86_64) interprets SA_RESTORER clear with nonzero
sa_restorer as a request for stack switching if the SS segment is 'funny'.
This means that anything that tries to mix glibc's signal handling with
segmentation (for instance through modify_ldt syscall) is randomly broken
depending on what values lands in sa_restorer.
The testcase added is based on Linux test tools/testing/selftests/x86/ldt_gdt.c,
more specifically in do_multicpu_tests function. The main changes are:
- C11 atomics instead of plain access.
- Remove x86_64 support which simplifies the syscall handling and fallbacks.
- Replicate only the test required to trigger the issue.
Checked on i686-linux-gnu.
[BZ #21269]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/Makefile (tests): Add tst-bz21269.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sigaction.c (SET_SA_RESTORER): Clear
sa_restorer for vDSO case.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/tst-bz21269.c: New file.
