It allows parent process to wait for child state using a polling
strategy over procfs on Linux. The polling is used over ptrace to
avoid the need to handle signals on the target pid and to handle some
system specific limitation (such as YAMA).
The polling has some limitations, such as resource consumption due
the procfs read in a loop and the lack of synchronization after the
state is obtained.
The interface idea is to simplify some sleep synchronization waitid
tests and is to reduce timeouts by replacing arbitrary waits.
The testcase forks a child process and runs pldd with PID of
this child. On systems where /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
differs from zero, pldd will fail with
/usr/bin/pldd: cannot attach to process 3: Operation not permitted
This patch checks if ptrace_scope exists, is zero "classic ptrace permissions"
or one "restricted ptrace". If ptrace_scope exists and has a higher
restriction, then the test is marked as UNSUPPORTED.
The case "restricted ptrace" is handled by rearranging the processes involved
during the test. Now we have the following process tree:
-parent: do_test (performs output checks)
--subprocess 1: pldd_process (becomes pldd via execve)
---subprocess 2: target_process (ptraced via pldd)
ChangeLog:

nss_db allows for getpwent et al to be called without a set*ent,
but it only works once. After the last get*ent a set*ent is
required to restart, because the end*ent did not properly reset
the module. Resetting it to NULL allows for a proper restart.
If the database doesn't exist, however, end*ent erroniously called
munmap which set errno.
The test case runs "makedb" inside the testroot, so needs selinux
DSOs installed.

The alignment of TLS variables is wrong if accessed from within a thread
for architectures with tls variant TLS_TCB_AT_TP.
For the main thread the static tls data is properly aligned.
For other threads the alignment depends on the alignment of the thread
pointer as the static tls data is located relative to this pointer.
This patch adds this alignment for TLS_TCB_AT_TP variants in the same way
as it is already done for TLS_DTV_AT_TP. The thread pointer is also already
properly aligned if the user provides its own stack for the new thread.
This patch extends the testcase nptl/tst-tls1.c in order to check the
alignment of the tls variables and it adds a pthread_create invocation
with a user provided stack.
The test itself is migrated from test-skeleton.c to test-driver.c
and the missing support functions xpthread_attr_setstack and xposix_memalign
are added.
ChangeLog:

For a full analysis of both the pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock() stall
and the pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() stall see:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23844#c14
In the pthread_rwlock_trydlock() function we fail to inspect for
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED in __wrphase_futex and wake the waiting
readers.
In the pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() function we write 1 to
__wrphase_futex and loose the setting of the PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED
bit, again failing to wake waiting readers during unlock.
The fix in the case of pthread_rwlock_trydlock() is to check for
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_FUTEX_USED and wake the readers.
The fix in the case of pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() is to only write
1 to __wrphase_futex if we installed the write phase, since all other
readers would be spinning waiting for this step.
We add two new tests, one exercises the stall for
pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() which is easy to exercise, and one exercises
the stall for pthread_rwlock_trydlock() which is harder to exercise.
The pthread_rwlock_trywrlock() test fails consistently without the fix,
and passes after. The pthread_rwlock_tryrdlock() test fails roughly
5-10% of the time without the fix, and passes all the time after.

There is general agreement that the very short list of things that ISO
C says you can do in an async signal handler should all work when the
handler is running on an alternate signal stack with only MINSIGSTKSZ

The test-container.c file assumes that ld.so is always named
something like /elf/ld-linux-*.
But e.g. on s390x it is named ld64.so.1 or ld.so.1 on s390.
There are other architectures like power or mips with similar names.
This patch introduces the new global variable support_objdir_elf_ldso
which contains the absolute path to the runtime linker used by the
testsuite, e.g. OBJDIR_PATH/elf/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2.
The check in test-container.c is now comparing against this path.
Without this patch, test-container.c is searching invalid files / directories
and fails to find glibc/nss/tst-nss-test3.root/tst-nss-test3.script.
Then the test tst-nss-test3 fails!

C99 specifies that the EOF condition on a file is "sticky": once EOF
has been encountered, all subsequent reads should continue to return
EOF until the file is closed or something clears the "end-of-file
indicator" (e.g. fseek, clearerr). This is arguably a change from
C89, where the wording was ambiguous; the BSDs always had sticky EOF,
but the System V lineage would attempt to read from the underlying fd
again. GNU libc has followed System V for as long as we've been
using libio, but nowadays C99 conformance and BSD compatibility are
more important than System V compatibility.
You might wonder if changing the _underflow impls is sufficient to
apply the C99 semantics to all of the many stdio functions that
perform input. It should be enough to cover all paths to _IO_SYSREAD,
and the only other functions that call _IO_SYSREAD are the _seekoff
impls, which is OK because seeking clears EOF, and the _xsgetn impls,
which, as far as I can tell, are unused within glibc.
The test programs in this patch use a pseudoterminal to set up the
necessary conditions. To facilitate this I added a new test-support
function that sets up a pair of pty file descriptors for you; it's
almost the same as BSD openpty, the only differences are that it
allocates the optionally-returned tty pathname with malloc, and that
it crashes if anything goes wrong.

This adds system call wrappers for pkey_alloc, pkey_free, pkey_mprotect,
and x86-64 implementations of pkey_get and pkey_set, which abstract over
the PKRU CPU register and hide the actual number of memory protection
keys supported by the CPU. pkey_mprotect with a -1 key is implemented
using mprotect, so it will work even if the kernel does not support the
pkey_mprotect system call.
The system call wrapers use unsigned int instead of unsigned long for
parameters, so that no special treatment for x32 is needed. The flags
argument is currently unused, and the access rights bit mask is limited
to two bits by the current PKRU register layout anyway.

Without this fix, the rwlock can fail to execute the explicit hand-over
in certain cases (e.g., empty critical sections that switch quickly between
read and write phases). This can then lead to errors in how __wrphase_futex
is accessed, which in turn can lead to deadlocks.
Current allocate_stack logic for create stacks is to first mmap all
the required memory with the desirable memory and then mprotect the
guard area with PROT_NONE if required. Although it works as expected,
it pessimizes the allocation because it requires the kernel to actually
increase commit charge (it counts against the available physical/swap
memory available for the system).
The only issue is to actually check this change since side-effects are
really Linux specific and to actually account them it would require a
kernel specific tests to parse the system wide information. On the kernel
I checked /proc/self/statm does not show any meaningful difference for
vmm and/or rss before and after thread creation. I could only see
really meaningful information checking on system wide /proc/meminfo
between thread creation: MemFree, MemAvailable, and Committed_AS shows
large difference without the patch. I think trying to use these
kind of information on a testcase is fragile.
The BZ#18988 reports shows that the commit pages are easily seen with
mlockall (MCL_FUTURE) (with lock all pages that become mapped in the
process) however a more straighfoward testcase shows that pthread_create
could be faster using this patch:

This is intended as a type-safe alternative to obstacks and
hand-written realloc constructs. The implementation avoids
writing function pointers to the heap.
Simplify the Linux accept4 implementation based on the assumption
that it is available in some way. __ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SOCKETCALL was
previously unused, so remove it.
For ia64, the accept4 system call (and socket call) were backported

instructions.
Before this change, the loop iterating over RRs in the answer
section stopped at the first CNAME record, never printing them.
The CNAME and PTR record contents was extracted from the wrong
buffer (whole packet instead RDATA). This desynced the parsing
after the first CNAME or PTR record.
Also fix the AAAA record parsing by checking their sizes.
The commit documents the ownership rules around 'struct pthread' and
when a thread can read or write to the descriptor. With those ownership
rules in place it becomes obvious that pd->stopped_start should not be
touched in several of the paths during thread startup, particularly so
for detached threads. In the case of detached threads, between the time
the thread is created by the OS kernel and the creating thread checks
pd->stopped_start, the detached thread might have already exited and the
memory for pd unmapped. As a regression test we add a simple test which
exercises this exact case by quickly creating detached threads with
large enough stacks to ensure the thread stack cache is bypassed and the
stacks are unmapped. Before the fix the testcase segfaults, after the
fix it works correctly and completes without issue.
