If the build itself is run in a container, we may not be able to
fully set up a nested container for test-container testing.
Notably is the mounting of /proc, since it's critical that it
be mounted from within the same PID namespace as its users, and
thus cannot be bind mounted from outside the container like other
mounts.
This patch defaults to using the parent's PID namespace instead of
creating a new one, as this is more likely to be allowed.
If the test needs an isolated PID namespace, it should add the "pidns"
command to its init script.

The 404656009b reversion did not setup the atomic loop to set the

(cherry picked from commit 62be968167)
Some Linux interfaces never restart after being interrupted by a signal
handler, regardless of the use of SA_RESTART [1]. It means that for
pthread cancellation, if the target thread disables cancellation with
pthread_setcancelstate and calls such interfaces (like poll or select),
it should not see spurious EINTR failures due the internal SIGCANCEL.
However recent changes made pthread_cancel to always sent the internal
signal, regardless of the target thread cancellation status or type.
To fix it, the previous semantic is restored, where the cancel signal
is only sent if the target thread has cancelation enabled in
asynchronous mode.
The cancel state and cancel type is moved back to cancelhandling
and atomic operation are used to synchronize between threads. The
patch essentially revert the following commits:
8c1c0aae20 nptl: Move cancel type out of cancelhandling
2b51742531 nptl: Move cancel state out of cancelhandling

resulting code (and removes another usage of the old atomic macros).

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.

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

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.
It consolidates the tgkill call and it is the first step of making
pthread_cancel async-signal-safe. It also fix a possible issue
where the 'struct pthread' tid is not read atomically, which might
send an invalid cancellation signal (similar to what
db988e50a8 fixed for pthread_join).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
Now that pthread_kill is provided by libc.so it is possible to
implement the generic POSIX implementation as
'pthread_kill(pthread_self(), sig)'.
For Linux implementation, pthread_kill read the targeting TID from
the TCB. For raise, this it not possible because it would make raise
fail when issue after vfork (where creates the resulting process
has a different TID from the parent, but its TCB is not updated as
for pthread_create). To make raise use pthread_kill, it is make
usable from vfork by getting the target thread id through gettid
syscall.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
Now that the thread cancellation type is not accessed concurrently
anymore, it is possible to move it out the cancelhandling.
By removing the cancel state out of the internal thread cancel handling
state there is no need to check if cancelled bit was set in CAS
operation.
It allows simplifing the cancellation wrappers and the
CANCEL_CANCELED_AND_ASYNCHRONOUS is removed.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
Now that thread cancellation state is not accessed concurrently anymore,
it is possible to move it out the 'cancelhandling'.
The code is also simplified: CANCELLATION_P is replaced with a
internal pthread_testcancel call and the CANCELSTATE_BIT{MASK} is
removed.
With this behavior pthread_setcancelstate does not require to act on
cancellation if cancel type is asynchronous (is already handled either
by pthread_setcanceltype or by the signal handler).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
The CANCELING_BITMASK is used as an optimization to avoid sending
the signal when pthread_cancel is called in a concurrent manner.
This requires then to put both the cancellation state and type on a
shared state (cancelhandling), since 'pthread_cancel' checks whether
cancellation is enabled and asynchrnous to either cancel itself of
sending the signal.
It also requires handle the CANCELING_BITMASK on
__pthread_disable_asynccancel, however this incurs in the same issues
described on BZ#12683: the cancellation is acted upon even *after*
syscall returns with user visible side-effects.
This patch removes this optimization and simplifies the pthread
cancellation implementation: pthread_cancel now first checks if
cancellation is already pending and if not always, sends a signal
if the target is not itself. The SIGCANCEL handler is also simpified
since there is not need to setup a CAS loop.
It also allows to move both the cancellation state and mode out of
'cancelhadling' (it is done in subsequent patches).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-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.

dlfcn/dlfcn.c. The file now serves the same purpose as
nptl/libpthread-compat.c, so it is renamed to dlfcn/libdl-compat.c.
The use of libdl-shared-only-routines ensures that libdl.a is empty.
This commit adjusts the test suite not to use $(libdl). The libdl.so
symbolic link is no longer installed.
