Linux 4.5 removed thread stack annotations due to the complexity of
computing them [1], and Linux added PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME on 5.17
as a way to name anonymous virtual memory areas.
This patch adds decoration on the stack created and used by
pthread_create, for glibc crated thread stack the /proc/self/maps will
now show:
[anon: glibc: pthread stack: <tid>]
And for user-provided stacks:
[anon: glibc: pthread user stack: <tid>]
The guard page is not decorated, and the mapping name is cleared when
the thread finishes its execution (so the cached stack does not have any
name associated).

As part of the fix for bug 12889, signals are blocked during
thread exit, so that application code cannot run on the thread that
is about to exit. This would cause problems if the application
expected signals to be delivered after the signal handler revealed
the thread to still exist, despite pthread_kill can no longer be used
to send signals to it. However, glibc internally uses the SIGSETXID
signal in a way that is incompatible with signal blocking, due to the
way the setxid handshake delays thread exit until the setxid operation
has completed. With a blocked SIGSETXID, the handshake can never
complete, causing a deadlock.
As a band-aid, restore the previous handshake protocol by not blocking
SIGSETXID during thread exit.

The clone3 system call (since Linux 5.3) provides a superset of the
functionality of clone and clone2. It also provides a number of API
improvements, including the ability to specify the size of the child's
stack area which can be used by kernel to compute the shadow stack size
when allocating the shadow stack. Add:
extern int __clone_internal (struct clone_args *__cl_args,
int (*__func) (void *__arg), void *__arg);
to provide an abstract interface for clone, clone2 and clone3.
1. Simplify stack management for thread creation by passing both stack
base and size to create_thread.
2. Consolidate clone vs clone2 differences into a single file.
3. Call __clone3 if HAVE_CLONE3_WAPPER is defined. If __clone3 returns
-1 with ENOSYS, fall back to clone or clone2.
4. Use only __clone_internal to clone a thread. Since the stack size
argument for create_thread is now unconditional, always pass stack size
to create_thread.
5. Enable the public clone3 wrapper in the future after it has been
added to all targets.
NB: Sandbox will return ENOSYS on clone3 in both Chromium:

Linux sandbox: return ENOSYS for clone3
Because clone3 uses a pointer argument rather than a flags argument, we
cannot examine the contents with seccomp, which is essential to
preventing sandboxed processes from starting other processes. So, we
won't be able to support clone3 in Chromium. This CL modifies the
BPF policy to return ENOSYS for clone3 so glibc always uses the fallback
to clone.

The testcase provided on BZ#19366 may update __nptl_nthreads in a wrong
order, triggering an early process exit because the thread decrement
the value twice.
The issue is once the thread exits without acting on cancellation,
it decreaments '__nptl_nthreads' and then atomically set
'cancelhandling' with EXITING_BIT (thus preventing further cancellation
handler to act). The issue happens if a SIGCANCEL is received between
checking '__ntpl_nthreads' and setting EXITING_BIT. To avoid it, the
'__nptl_nthreads' decrement is moved after EXITING_BIT.
It does fully follow the POSIX XSH 2.9.5 Thread Cancellation under
the heading Thread Cancellation Cleanup Handlers that states that
when a cancellation request is acted upon, or when a thread calls
pthread_exit(), the thread first disables cancellation by setting its
cancelability state to PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE and its cancelability type
to PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED. The issue is '__pthread_enable_asynccancel'
explicit enabled assynchrnous cancellation, so an interrupted syscall
within the cancellation cleanup handlers might see an invalid cancelling
type (a possible fix might be possible with my proposed solution to
BZ#12683).
Trying to come up with a test is quite hard since it requires to
mimic the timing issue described below, however I see that the
bug report reproducer does not early exit anymore.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
Now that cancellation is not used anymore to handle thread setup
creation failure, the sighandle can be installed only when
pthread_cancel is actually used.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
To setup either the thread scheduling parameters or affinity,
pthread_create enforce synchronization on created thread to wait until
its parent either release PD ownership or send a cancellation signal if
a failure occurs.
However, cancelling the thread does not deallocate the newly created
stack since cancellation expects that a pthread_join to deallocate any
allocated thread resouces (threads stack or TLS).
This patch changes on how the thread resource is deallocate in case of
failure to be synchronous, where the creating thread will signal the
created thread to exit early so it could be joined. The creating thread
will be reponsible for the resource cleanup before returning to the
caller.
To signal the creating thread that a failure has occured, an unused
'struct pthread' member, parent_cancelhandling_unsed, now indicates
whether the setup has failed so creating thread can proper exit.
This strategy also simplifies by not using thread cancellation and
thus not running libgcc_so load in the signal handler (which is
avoided in thread cancellation since 'pthread_cancel' is the one
responsible to dlopen libgcc_s). Another advantage is since the
early exit is move to first step at thread creation, the signal
mask is not already set and thus it can not act on change ID setxid
handler.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
The 'create_thread' function is moved to pthread_create.c. It removes
the START_THREAD_DEFN and START_THREAD_SELF macros and make the
lock usage more clear (no need to cross-reference multiple files).
No functional change.
The signal is sent to all threads, some of which may have switched
to very small stacks. If they have also installed an alternate
signal stack, SA_ONSTACK makes this work. The Go runtime needs this:
runtime: C.setuid/C.setgid smashes Go stack
<https://github.com/golang/go/issues/9400>
Doing this for SIGCANCEL is less obviously beneficial and needs further
testing.

This initalization should only happen once for the main thread's TCB.
At present, auditors can achieve this by not linking against

moving this code into ld.so seems the right thing to do, right after
