x86: Use pad in pthread_unwind_buf to preserve shadow stack register
The pad array in struct pthread_unwind_buf is used by setjmp to save shadow stack register. We assert that size of struct pthread_unwind_buf is no less than offset of shadow stack pointer + shadow stack pointer size. Since functions, like LIBC_START_MAIN, START_THREAD_DEFN as well as these with thread cancellation, call setjmp, but never return after __libc_unwind_longjmp, __libc_unwind_longjmp, which is defined as __libc_longjmp on x86, doesn't need to restore shadow stack register. __libc_longjmp, which is a private interface for thread cancellation implementation in libpthread, is changed to call __longjmp_cancel, instead of __longjmp. __longjmp_cancel is a new internal function in libc, which is similar to __longjmp, but doesn't restore shadow stack register. The compatibility longjmp and siglongjmp in libpthread.so are changed to call __libc_siglongjmp, instead of __libc_longjmp, so that they will restore shadow stack register. Tested with build-many-glibcs.py. Signed-off-by: H.J.
