The Linux nptl implementation is used as base for generic fork
implementation to handle the internal locks and mutexes. The
system specific bits are moved a new internal _Fork symbol.
(This new implementation will be used to provide a async-signal-safe
_Fork now that POSIX has clarified that fork might not be
async-signal-safe [1]).
For Hurd it means that the __nss_database_fork_prepare_parent and
__nss_database_fork_subprocess will be run in a slight different
order.

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
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
This patch fixes 3dc214977 for sparc. Different than other architectures
SPARC kernel Kconfig does not define CONFIG_CLONE_BACKWARDS, however it
has the same ABI as if it did, implemented by sparc-specific code
(sparc_do_fork).
It also has a unique return value convention for clone:
Parent --> %o0 == child's pid, %o1 == 0
Child --> %o0 == parent's pid, %o1 == 1
Which required a special macro to correct issue the syscall
(INLINE_CLONE_SYSCALL).
Checked on sparc64-linux-gnu and sparcv9-linux-gnu.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arch-fork.h [__ASSUME_CLONE_BACKWARDS]
(arch_fork): Issue INLINE_CLONE_SYSCALL if defined.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/kernel-features.h
(__ASSUME_CLONE_BACKWARDS): Define.
This patch refactors the ARCH_FORK macro and the required architecture
specific header to simplify the required architecture definitions
to provide the fork syscall semantic and proper document current
Linux clone ABI variant.
Instead of require the reimplementation of arch-fork.h header, this
patch changes the ARCH_FORK to an inline function with clone ABI
defined by kernel-features.h define. The generic kernel ABI meant
for newer ports is used as default and redefine if the architecture
requires.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. Also with a build
for all the afected ABIs.
