Clear list of acquired robust mutexes in the child process after forking.
Robust mutexes acquired at the time of a call to fork() do not remain acquired by the forked child process. We have to clear the list of acquired robust mutexes before registering this list with the kernel; otherwise, if some of the robust mutexes are process-shared, the parent process can alter the child's robust mutex list, which can lead to deadlocks or even modification of memory that may not be occupied by a mutex anymore. [BZ #19402] * sysdeps/nptl/fork.c (__libc_fork): Clear list of acquired robust mutexes.
