Adhemerval Zanella 805334b26c posix: Clear close-on-exec for posix_spawn adddup2 (BZ#23640)
Austin Group issue #411 [1] proposes that posix_spawn file action
posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2 resets the close-on-exec when
source and destination refer to same file descriptor.

It solves the issue on multi-thread applications which uses
close-on-exec as default, and want to hand-chose specifically
file descriptor to purposefully inherited into a child process.
Current approach to achieve this scenario is to use two adddup2 file
actions and a temporary file description which do not conflict with
any other, coupled with a close file action to avoid leaking the
temporary file descriptor.  This approach, besides being complex,
may fail with EMFILE/ENFILE file descriptor exaustion.

This can be more easily accomplished with an in-place removal of
FD_CLOEXEC.  Although the resulting adddup2 semantic is slight
different than dup2 (equal file descriptors should be handled as
no-op), the proposed possible solution are either more complex
(fcntl action which a limited set of operations) or results in
unrequired operations (dup3 which also returns EINVAL for same
file descriptor).

Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu.

	[BZ #23640]
	* posix/tst-spawn.c (do_prepare, handle_restart, do_test): Add
	posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2 test to check O_CLOCEXEC reset.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawni_child): Add
	close-on-exec reset for adddup2 file action.
	* sysdeps/posix/spawni.c (__spawni_child): Likewise.
