Fix race in pthread_mutex_lock while promoting to PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP [BZ #23275]
The race leads either to pthread_mutex_destroy returning EBUSY or triggering an assertion (See description in bugzilla). This patch is fixing the race by ensuring that the elision path is used in all cases if elision is enabled by the GLIBC_TUNABLES framework. The __kind variable in struct __pthread_mutex_s is accessed concurrently. Therefore we are now using the atomic macros. The new testcase tst-mutex10 is triggering the race on s390x and intel. Presumably also on power, but I don't have access to a power machine with lock-elision. At least the code for power is the same as on the other two architectures. ChangeLog: [BZ #23275] * nptl/tst-mutex10.c: New File. * nptl/Makefile (tests): Add tst-mutex10. (tst-mutex10-ENV): New variable. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/force-elision.h: (FORCE_ELISION): Ensure that elision path is used if elision is available. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/force-elision.h (FORCE_ELISION): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/force-elision.h: (FORCE_ELISION): Likewise. * nptl/pthreadP.h (PTHREAD_MUTEX_TYPE, PTHREAD_MUTEX_TYPE_ELISION) (PTHREAD_MUTEX_PSHARED): Use atomic_load_relaxed. * nptl/pthread_mutex_consistent.c (pthread_mutex_consistent): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_getprioceiling.c (pthread_mutex_getprioceiling): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_lock.c (__pthread_mutex_lock_full) (__pthread_mutex_cond_lock_adjust): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_setprioceiling.c (pthread_mutex_setprioceiling): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_timedlock.c (__pthread_mutex_timedlock): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_trylock.c (__pthread_mutex_trylock): Likewise. * nptl/pthread_mutex_unlock.c (__pthread_mutex_unlock_full): Likewise. * sysdeps/nptl/bits/thread-shared-types.h (struct __pthread_mutex_s): Add comments. * nptl/pthread_mutex_destroy.c (__pthread_mutex_destroy): Use atomic_load_relaxed and atomic_store_relaxed. * nptl/pthread_mutex_init.c (__pthread_mutex_init): Use atomic_store_relaxed.
