This patch removes CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID and CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID support
from clock_gettime and clock_settime generic implementation. For Linux, kernel
already provides supports through the syscall and Hurd HTL lacks
__pthread_clock_gettime and __pthread_clock_settime internal implementation.
As described in clock_gettime man-page [1] on 'Historical note for SMP
system', implementing CLOCK_{THREAD,PROCESS}_CPUTIME_ID with timer registers
is error-prone and susceptible to timing and accurary issues that the libc
can not deal without kernel support.
This allows removes unused code which, however, still incur in some runtime
overhead in thread creation (the struct pthread cpuclock_offset
initialization).
If hurd eventually wants to support them it should either either implement as
a kernel facility (or something related due its architecture) or in system
specific implementation.
Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, and i686-linux-gnu. I also
checked on a i686-gnu build.

Commit 27761a1042 ("Refactor atfork

accesses. It turns out that this lock occasionally results in
self-deadlocks in malloc/tst-mallocfork2:

If no locking happens in the single-threaded case (where fork is
expected to be async-signal-safe), this deadlock is avoided.
(pthread_atfork is not required to be async-signal-safe, so a fork
call from a signal handler interrupting pthread_atfork is not
a problem.)
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.

Current implementation (sysdeps/nptl/fork.c) replicates the atfork
handlers list backward to invoke the child handlers after fork/clone
syscall.
The internal atfork handlers is implemented as a single-linked list
so a lock-free algorithm can be used, trading fork mulithread call
performance for some code complexity and dynamic stack allocation
(since the backwards list should not fail).
This patch refactor it to use a dynarary instead of a linked list.
It simplifies the external variables need to be exported and also
the internal atfork handler member definition.
The downside is a serialization of fork call in multithread, since to
operate on the dynarray the internal lock should be used. However
as noted by Florian, it already acquires external locks for malloc
and libio so it is already hitting some lock contention. Besides,
posix_spawn should be faster and more scalable to run external programs
in multithread environments.

This patch adds two new internal defines to set the internal
pthread_mutex_t layout required by the supported ABIS:
1. __PTHREAD_MUTEX_NUSERS_AFTER_KIND which control whether to define
__nusers fields before or after __kind. The preferred value for
is 0 for new ports and it sets __nusers before __kind.
2. __PTHREAD_MUTEX_USE_UNION which control whether internal __spins and
__list members will be place inside an union for linuxthreads
compatibility. The preferred value is 0 for ports and it sets
to not use an union to define both fields.
It fixes the wrong offsets value for __kind value on x86_64-linux-gnu-x32.

Robust mutexes acquired at the time of a call to fork() do not remain
acquired by the forked child process. We have to clear the list of
acquired robust mutexes before registering this list with the kernel;
otherwise, if some of the robust mutexes are process-shared, the parent
process can alter the child's robust mutex list, which can lead to
deadlocks or even modification of memory that may not be occupied by a
mutex anymore.
[BZ #19402]
* sysdeps/nptl/fork.c (__libc_fork): Clear list of acquired robust
mutexes.
This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current
usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall,
however it adds some issues:
- The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new
thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause
a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and
[1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms
(such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957).
- The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and
requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for
both clone and vfork implementation).
- Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific
code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4],
either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid
implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a
vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution).
Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread
cancellation signal and handling.
For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact
adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache
and invalidate each element pid.
Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as
cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at
create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue).
However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is
justifiable.
It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation.
And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that
this patch also solves:
- microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field
- hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork.
Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it.
The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for
such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program
issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID
and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions
threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this
semantics.
I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le.
For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from
posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing
on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze
because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

Existing interposed mallocs do not define the glibc-internal
fork callbacks (and they should not), so statically interposed
mallocs lead to link failures because the strong reference from
fork pulls in glibc's malloc, resulting in multiple definitions
of malloc-related symbols.
This provides a band-aid and addresses the scenario where fork is
called from a signal handler while the process is in the malloc
subsystem (or has acquired the libio list lock). It does not
address the general issue of async-signal-safety of fork;
multi-threaded processes are not covered, and some glibc
subsystems have fork handlers which are not async-signal-safe.
Previously, a thread M invoking fork would acquire locks in this order:
(M1) malloc arena locks (in the registered fork handler)
(M2) libio list lock
A thread F invoking flush (NULL) would acquire locks in this order:
(F1) libio list lock
(F2) individual _IO_FILE locks
A thread G running getdelim would use this order:
(G1) _IO_FILE lock
(G2) malloc arena lock
After executing (M1), (F1), (G1), none of the threads can make progress.
This commit changes the fork lock order to:
(M'1) libio list lock
(M'2) malloc arena locks
It explicitly encodes the lock order in the implementations of fork,
and does not rely on the registration order, thus avoiding the deadlock.
It was noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-09/msg00305.html> that the
bits/*.h naming scheme should only be used for installed headers.
This patch renames bits/stdio-lock.h to plain stdio-lock.h to follow
that convention.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).

This adds new functions for futex operations, starting with wait,
abstimed_wait, reltimed_wait, wake. They add documentation and error
checking according to the current draft of the Linux kernel futex manpage.
Waiting with absolute or relative timeouts is split into separate functions.
This allows for removing a few cases of code duplication in pthreads code,
which uses absolute timeouts; also, it allows us to put platform-specific
code to go from an absolute to a relative timeout into the platform-specific
futex abstractions..
Futex operations that can be canceled are also split out into separate
functions suffixed by "_cancelable".
There are separate versions for both Linux and NaCl; while they currently
differ only slightly, my expectation is that the separate versions of
lowlevellock-futex.h will eventually be merged into futex-internal.h
when we get to move the lll_ functions over to the new futex API.
