This patch filters out the internal NPTL signals (SIGCANCEL/SIGTIMER and
SIGSETXID) from signal functions. GLIBC on Linux requires both signals to
proper implement pthread cancellation, posix timers, and set*id posix
thread synchronization.
And not filtering out the internal signal is troublesome:
- A conformant program on a architecture that does not filter out the
signals might inadvertently disable pthread asynchronous cancellation,
set*id synchronization or posix timers.
- It might also to security issues if SIGSETXID is masked and set*id
functions are called (some threads might have effective user or group
id different from the rest).
The changes are basically:
- Change __is_internal_signal to bool and used on all signal function
that has a signal number as input. Also for signal function which accepts
signals sets (sigset_t) it assumes that canonical function were used to
add/remove signals which lead to some input simplification.
- Fix tst-sigset.c to avoid check for SIGCANCEL/SIGTIMER and SIGSETXID.
It is rewritten to check each signal indidually and to check realtime
signals using canonical macros.
- Add generic __clear_internal_signals and __is_internal_signal
version since both symbols are used on generic implementations.
- Remove superflous sysdeps/nptl/sigfillset.c.
- Remove superflous SIGTIMER handling on Linux __is_internal_signal
since it is the same of SIGCANCEL.
- Remove dangling define and obvious comment on nptl/sigaction.c.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
[BZ #22391]
* nptl/sigaction.c (__sigaction): Use __is_internal_signal to
check for internal nptl signals.
* nptl/sigaction.c (__sigaction): Likewise.
* signal/sigaddset.c (sigaddset): Likewise.
* signal/sigdelset.c (sigdelset): Likewise.
* sysdeps/posix/signal.c (__bsd_signal): Likewise.
* sysdeps/posix/sigset.c (sigset): Call and check sigaddset return
value.
* signal/sigfillset.c (sigfillset): User __clear_internal_signals
to filter out internal nptl signals.
* signal/tst-sigset.c (do_test): Check ech signal indidually and
also check realtime signals using standard macros.
* sysdeps/generic/internal-signals.h (__clear_internal_signals,
__is_internal_signal, __libc_signal_block_all,
__libc_signal_block_app, __libc_signal_restore_set): New functions.
* sysdeps/nptl/sigfillset.c: Remove file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/internal-signals.h (__is_internal_signal):
Change return to bool.
(__clear_internal_signals): Remove SIGTIMER clean since it is
equal to SIGCANEL on Linux.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigtimedwait.c (__sigtimedwait): Assume
signal set was constructed using standard functions.

This patch renames the nptl-signals.h header to internal-signals.h.
On Linux the definitions and functions are not only NPTL related, but
used for other POSIX definitions as well (for instance SIGTIMER for
posix times, SIGSETXID for id functions, and signal block/restore
helpers) and since generic functions will be places and used in generic
implementation it makes more sense to decouple it from NPTL.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
* sysdeps/nptl/nptl-signals.h: Move to ...
* sysdeps/generic/internal-signals.h: ... here. Adjust internal
comments.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/internal-signals.h: Add include guards.
(__nptl_is_internal_signal): Rename to __is_internal_signal.
(__nptl_clear_internal_signals): Rename to __clear_internal_signals.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c: Adjust nptl-signal.h to
include-signals.h rename.
* nptl/pthreadP.h: Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawni_child): Call
__is_internal_signal instead of __nptl_is_internal_signal.
