This patch removes the COLORING_INCREMENT define and usage on allocatestack.c.
It has not been used since 564cd8b67ec487f (glibc-2.3.3) by any architecture.
The idea is to simplify the code by removing obsolete code.
* nptl/allocatestack.c [COLORING_INCREMENT] (nptl_ncreated): Remove.
(allocate_stack): Remove COLORING_INCREMENT usage.
* nptl/stack-aliasing.h (COLORING_INCREMENT). Likewise.
* sysdeps/i386/i686/stack-aliasing.h (COLORING_INCREMENT): Likewise.

In _dl_nothread_init_static_tls() and init_one_static_tls() we must not
touch the DTV of other threads since we do not have ownership of them.
The DTV need not be initialized at this point anyway since only LD/GD
accesses will use them. If LD/GD accesses occur they will take care to
initialize their own thread's DTV.
Concurrency comments were removed from the patch since they need to be
reworked along with a full description of DTV ownership and when it is
or is not safe to modify these structures.

The commit documents the ownership rules around 'struct pthread' and
when a thread can read or write to the descriptor. With those ownership
rules in place it becomes obvious that pd->stopped_start should not be
touched in several of the paths during thread startup, particularly so
for detached threads. In the case of detached threads, between the time
the thread is created by the OS kernel and the creating thread checks
pd->stopped_start, the detached thread might have already exited and the
memory for pd unmapped. As a regression test we add a simple test which
exercises this exact case by quickly creating detached threads with
large enough stacks to ensure the thread stack cache is bypassed and the
stacks are unmapped. Before the fix the testcase segfaults, after the
fix it works correctly and completes without issue.

This fixes the mutex pretty printer so that, if the owner ID isn't recorded
(such as in the current lock elision implementation), "Owner ID" will be shown
as "Unknown" instead of 0. It also changes the mutex printer output so that it
says "Acquired" instead of "Locked". The mutex tests are updated accordingly.
In addition, this adds a paragraph to the "Known issues" section of the
printers README explaining that the printer output isn't guaranteed to cover
every detail.

Any changes to the per-thread list of robust mutexes currently acquired as
well as the pending-operations entry are not simply sequential code but
basically concurrent with any actions taken by the kernel when it tries
to clean up after a crash. This is not quite like multi-thread concurrency
but more like signal-handler concurrency.
This patch fixes latent bugs by adding compiler barriers where necessary so
that it is ensured that the kernel crash handling sees consistent data.
This is meant to be easy to backport, so we do not use C11-style signal
fences yet.

lll_robust_unlock on i386 and x86_64 first sets the futex word to
FUTEX_WAITERS|0 before calling __lll_unlock_wake, which will set the
futex word to 0. If the thread is killed between these steps, then the
futex word will be FUTEX_WAITERS|0, and the kernel (at least current
upstream) will not set it to FUTEX_OWNER_DIED|FUTEX_WAITERS because 0 is
not equal to the TID of the crashed thread.
The lll_robust_lock assembly code on i386 and x86_64 is not prepared to
deal with this case because the fastpath tries to only CAS 0 to TID and
not FUTEX_WAITERS|0 to TID; the slowpath simply waits until it can CAS 0
to TID or the futex_word has the FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit set.
This issue is fixed by removing the custom x86 assembly code and using
the generic C code instead. However, instead of adding more duplicate
code to the custom x86 lowlevellock.h, the code of the lll_robust* functions
is inlined into the single call sites that exist for each of these functions
in the pthread_mutex_* functions. The robust mutex paths in the latter
have been slightly reorganized to make them simpler.
This patch is meant to be easy to backport, so C11-style atomics are not
used.

This replaces the pthread rwlock with a new implementation that uses a
more scalable algorithm (primarily through not using a critical section

This is a new implementation for condition variables, required
after http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=609 to fix bug 13165. In
essence, we need to be stricter in which waiters a signal or broadcast
is required to wake up; this couldn't be solved using the old algorithm.
ISO C++ made a similar clarification, so this also fixes a bug in
current libstdc++, for example.
We can't use the old algorithm anymore because futexes do not guarantee
to wake in FIFO order. Thus, when we wake, we can't simply let any
waiter grab a signal, but we need to ensure that one of the waiters
happening before the signal is woken up. This is something the previous
algorithm violated (see bug 13165).
There's another issue specific to condvars: ABA issues on the underlying
futexes. Unlike mutexes that have just three states, or semaphores that
have no tokens or a limited number of them, the state of a condvar is
the *order* of the waiters. A waiter on a semaphore can grab a token
whenever one is available; a condvar waiter must only consume a signal
if it is eligible to do so as determined by the relative order of the
waiter and the signal.
Therefore, this new algorithm maintains two groups of waiters: Those
eligible to consume signals (G1), and those that have to wait until
previous waiters have consumed signals (G2). Once G1 is empty, G2
becomes the new G1. 64b counters are used to avoid ABA issues.
This condvar doesn't yet use a requeue optimization (ie, on a broadcast,
waking just one thread and requeueing all others on the futex of the
mutex supplied by the program). I don't think doing the requeue is
necessarily the right approach (but I haven't done real measurements
yet):
* If a program expects to wake many threads at the same time and make
that scalable, a condvar isn't great anyway because of how it requires
waiters to operate mutually exclusive (due to the mutex usage). Thus, a
thundering herd problem is a scalability problem with or without the
optimization. Using something like a semaphore might be more
appropriate in such a case.
* The scalability problem is actually at the mutex side; the condvar
could help (and it tries to with the requeue optimization), but it
should be the mutex who decides how that is done, and whether it is done
at all.
* Forcing all but one waiter into the kernel-side wait queue of the
mutex prevents/avoids the use of lock elision on the mutex. Thus, it
prevents the only cure against the underlying scalability problem
inherent to condvars.
* If condvars use short critical sections (ie, hold the mutex just to
check a binary flag or such), which they should do ideally, then forcing
all those waiter to proceed serially with kernel-based hand-off (ie,
futex ops in the mutex' contended state, via the futex wait queues) will
be less efficient than just letting a scalable mutex implementation take
care of it. Our current mutex impl doesn't employ spinning at all, but
if critical sections are short, spinning can be much better.
* Doing the requeue stuff requires all waiters to always drive the mutex
into the contended state. This leads to each waiter having to call
futex_wake after lock release, even if this wouldn't be necessary.

The address of the stack canary is stored in a per-thread variable,
which means that we must ensure that the TLS area is intialized before
calling any -fstack-protector'ed functions. For dynamically linked
applications, we ensure this (in a later patch) by disabling
-fstack-protector for the whole dynamic linker, but for static
applications, the AT_ENTRY address is called directly by the kernel, so
we must deal with the problem differently.
In static appliations, __libc_setup_tls performs the TCB setup and TLS
initialization, so this commit arranges for it to be called early and
unconditionally. The call (and the stack guard initialization) is
before the DL_SYSDEP_OSCHECK hook, which if set will probably call
functions which are stack-protected (it does on Linux and NaCL too). We
also move apply_irel up, so that we can still safely call functions that
require ifuncs while in __libc_setup_tls (though if stack-protection is
enabled we still have to avoid calling functions that are not
stack-protected at this stage).

The value of CPPFLAGS provided by the environment may have optimizations
that interfere with the pretty printer test requirements. To override
such optimizations the pretty printer tests must also specify CPPFLAGS.
The existing pretty printer tests are fixed and the
README.pretty-printers is updated with the new requirement.

Assume that Thread 1 waits to acquire a robust mutex using futexes to
block (and thus sets the FUTEX_WAITERS flag), and is unblocked when this
mutex is released. If Thread 2 concurrently acquires the lock and is
killed, Thread 1 can recover from the died owner but fail to restore the
FUTEX_WAITERS flag. This can lead to a Thread 3 that also blocked using
futexes at the same time as Thread 1 to not get woken up because
FUTEX_WAITERS is not set anymore.
The fix for this is to ensure that we continue to preserve the
FUTEX_WAITERS flag whenever we may have set it or shared it with another
thread. This is the same requirement as in the algorithm for normal
mutexes, only that the robust mutexes need additional handling for died
owners and thus preserving the FUTEX_WAITERS flag cannot be done just in
the futex slowpath code.

The label was lost during the conversion to the new test framework
in commit c23de0aacbeaa7a091609b35764bed931475a16d, and the --command
option is currently unused.

The new test driver in <support/test-driver.c> has feature parity with
the old one. The main difference is that its hooking mechanism is
based on functions and function pointers instead of macros. This
commit also implements a new environment variable, TEST_COREDUMPS,
which disables the code which disables coredumps (that is, it enables
them if the invocation environment has not disabled them).
<test-skeleton.c> defines wrapper functions so that it is possible to
use existing macros with the new-style hook functionality.
This commit changes only a few test cases to the new test driver, to
make sure that it works as expected.

This patch adds pretty printers for the following NPTL types:
- pthread_mutex_t
- pthread_mutexattr_t
- pthread_cond_t
- pthread_condattr_t
- pthread_rwlock_t
- pthread_rwlockattr_t
To load the pretty printers into your gdb session, do the following:
python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/glibc/build/nptl/pretty-printers')
end
source /path/to/glibc/source/pretty-printers/nptl-printers.py
You can check which printers are registered and enabled by issuing the
'info pretty-printer' gdb command. Printers should trigger automatically when
trying to print a variable of one of the types mentioned above.
The printers are architecture-independent, and were tested on an AMD64 running
Ubuntu 14.04 and an x86 VM running Fedora 24.
In order to work, the printers need to know the values of various flags that
are scattered throughout pthread.h and pthreadP.h as enums and #defines. Since
replicating these constants in the printers file itself would create a
maintenance burden, I wrote a script called gen-py-const.awk that Makerules uses
to extract the constants. This script is pretty much the same as gen-as-const.awk,
except it doesn't cast the constant values to 'long' and is thorougly documented.
The constants need only to be enumerated in a .pysym file, which is then referenced
by a Make variable called gen-py-const-headers.
As for the install directory, I discussed this with Mike Frysinger and Siddhesh
Poyarekar, and we agreed that it can be handled in a separate patch, and shouldn't
block merging of this one.
In addition, I've written a series of test cases for the pretty printers.
Each lock type (mutex, condvar and rwlock) has two test programs, one for itself
and other for its related 'attributes' object. Each test program in turn has a
PExpect-based Python script that drives gdb and compares its output to the
expected printer's. The tests run on the glibc host, which is assumed to have
both gdb and PExpect; if either is absent the tests will fail with code 77
(UNSUPPORTED). For cross-testing you should use cross-test-ssh.sh as test-wrapper.
I've tested the printers on both native builds and a cross build using a Beaglebone
Black running Debian, with the build system's filesystem shared with the board
through NFS.
Finally, I've written a README that explains all this and more.

This change moves the main implementation of _dl_catch_error,
_dl_signal_error to libc.so, where TLS variables can be used
directly. This removes a writable function pointer from the
rtld_global variable.
For use during initial relocation, minimal implementations of these
functions are provided in ld.so. These are eventually interposed
by the libc.so implementations. This is implemented by compiling
elf/dl-error-skeleton.c twice, via elf/dl-error.c and
elf/dl-error-minimal.c.
As a side effect of this change, the static version of dl-error.c
no longer includes support for the
_dl_signal_cerror/_dl_receive_error mechanism because it is only
used in ld.so.

This patch remove the PID cache and usage in current GLIBC code. Current
usage is mainly used a performance optimization to avoid the syscall,
however it adds some issues:
- The exposed clone syscall will try to set pid/tid to make the new
thread somewhat compatible with current GLIBC assumptions. This cause
a set of issue with new workloads and usecases (such as BZ#17214 and
[1]) as well for new internal usage of clone to optimize other algorithms
(such as clone plus CLONE_VM for posix_spawn, BZ#19957).
- The caching complexity also added some bugs in the past [2] [3] and
requires more effort of each port to handle such requirements (for
both clone and vfork implementation).
- Caching performance gain in mainly on getpid and some specific
code paths. The getpid performance leverage is questionable [4],
either by the idea of getpid being a hotspot as for the getpid
implementation itself (if it is indeed a justifiable hotspot a
vDSO symbol could let to a much more simpler solution).
Other usage is mainly for non usual code paths, such as pthread
cancellation signal and handling.
For thread creation (on stack allocation) the code simplification in fact
adds some performance gain due the no need of transverse the stack cache
and invalidate each element pid.
Other thread usages will require a direct getpid syscall, such as
cancellation/setxid signal, thread cancellation, thread fail path (at
create_thread), and thread signal (pthread_kill and pthread_sigqueue).
However these are hardly usual hotspots and I think adding a syscall is
justifiable.
It also simplifies both the clone and vfork arch-specific implementation.
And by review each fork implementation there are some discrepancies that
this patch also solves:
- microblaze clone/vfork does not set/reset the pid/tid field
- hppa uses the default vfork implementation that fallback to fork.
Since vfork is deprecated I do not think we should bother with it.
The patch also removes the TID caching in clone. My understanding for
such semantic is try provide some pthread usage after a user program
issue clone directly (as done by thread creation with CLONE_PARENT_SETTID
and pthread tid member). However, as stated before in multiple discussions
threads, GLIBC provides clone syscalls without further supporting all this
semantics.
I ran a full make check on x86_64, x32, i686, armhf, aarch64, and powerpc64le.
For sparc32, sparc64, and mips I ran the basic fork and vfork tests from
posix/ folder (on a qemu system). So it would require further testing
on alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, nios2, s390, sh, and tile (I excluded microblaze
because it is already implementing the patch semantic regarding clone/vfork).

This patch consolidates all Linux lseek/lseek64/llseek implementation
in on on sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/lseek{64}.c. It also removes the llseek
file and instead consolidate the LFS lseek implementation on lseek64.c
as for other LFS symbols implementations.
The general idea is:
- lseek: ABIs that not define __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T will preferable
use __NR__llseek if kernel supports it, otherwise they will use __NR_lseek.
ABIs that defines __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T won't produce any symbol.
- lseek64: ABIs with __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T will preferable use __NR_lseek
(since it will use 64-bit arguments without low/high splitting) and
__NR__llseek if __NR_lseek is not defined (for some ILP32 ports).
- llseek: files will be removed and symbols will be aliased ot lseek64.
ABI without __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T and without __NR_llseek (basically MIPS64n32
so far) are covered by building lseek with off_t as expected and lseek64
using __NR_lseek (as expected for off64_t being passed using 64-bit registers).
For this consolidation I mantained the x32 assembly specific implementation
because to correctly fix this it would required both the x32 fix for
{INLINE,INTERNAL}_SYSCALL [1] and a wrapper to correctly subscribe it to
return 64 bits instead of default 32 bits (as for times). It could a future
cleanup.
It is based on my previous {INTERNAL,INLINE}_SYSCALL_CALL macro [2],
although it is mainly for simplification.
Tested on x86_64, i686, aarch64, armhf, and powerpc64le.

Replaces calls to write on file descriptor 2 with calls to write_message,
which writes to STDOUT_FILENO (1) and properly deals with the return of
write.

An earlier fix for TLS dropped early initialization of DTV entries for
modules using static TLS, leaving it for __tls_get_addr to set them
up. That worked on platforms that require the GD access model to be
relaxed to LE in the main executable, but it caused a regression on
platforms that allow GD in the main executable, particularly in
statically-linked programs: they use a custom __tls_get_addr that does
not update the DTV, which fails when the DTV early initialization is
not performed.
In static programs, __libc_setup_tls performs the DTV initialization
for the main thread, but the DTV of other threads is set up in
_dl_allocate_tls_init, so that's the fix that matters.
Restoring the initialization in the remaining functions modified by
this patch was just for uniformity. It's not clear that it is ever
needed: even on platforms that allow GD in the main executable, the
dynamically-linked version of __tls_get_addr would set up the DTV
entries, even for static TLS modules, while updating the DTV counter.

Current sparc32 sem_init and default one only differ on sem.newsem.pad

specific implementation and set sparc32 to use nptl default one.

This patch fixes both sem_wait and sem_timedwait cancellation point for
uncontended case. In this scenario only atomics are involved and thus
the futex cancellable call is not issue and a pending cancellation signal
is not handled.
The fix is straighforward by calling pthread_testcancel is both function
start. Although it would be simpler to call CANCELLATION_P directly, I
decided to add an internal pthread_testcancel alias and use it to export
less internal implementation on such function. A possible change on
how pthread_testcancel is internally implemented would lead to either
continue to force use CANCELLATION_P or to adjust its every use.
GLIBC testcase also does have tests for uncontended cases, test-cancel12
and test-cancel14.c, however both are flawed by adding another
cancellation point just after thread pthread_cleanup_pop:
47 static void *
48 tf (void *arg)
49 {
50 pthread_cleanup_push (cleanup, NULL);
51
52 int e = pthread_barrier_wait (&bar);
53 if (e != 0 && e != PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD)
54 {
55 puts ("tf: 1st barrier_wait failed");
56 exit (1);
57 }
58
59 /* This call should block and be cancelable. */
60 sem_wait (&sem);
61
62 pthread_cleanup_pop (0);
63
64 puts ("sem_wait returned");
65
66 return NULL;
67 }
So sem_{timed}wait does not act on cancellation, pthread_cleanup_pop executes
'cleanup' and then 'puts' acts on cancellation. Since pthread_cleanup_pop
removed the clean-up handler, it will ran only once and thus it won't accuse
an error to indicate sem_wait has not acted on the cancellation signal.
This patch also fixes this behavior by removing the cancellation point 'puts'.
It also adds some cleanup on all sem_{timed}wait cancel tests.
It partially fixes BZ #18243. Checked on x86_64.

This patch changes sem_open to not act as a cancellation point.

Current sparc32 sem_open and default one only differ on:
1. Default one contains a 'futex_supports_pshared' check.
2. sem.newsem.pad is initialized to zero.
This patch removes sparc32 and sparc32v9 sem_open arch specific
implementation and instead set sparc32 to use nptl default one.
Using 1. is fine since it should always evaluate 0 for Linux
(an optimized away by the compiler). Adding 2. to default
implementation should be ok since 'pad' field is used mainly
on sparc32 code.
I checked on i686 and checked a sparc32v9 build.

Nothing depends on the PTW macro anymore, so the mechanism to define
PTW for recompliations of libc routines is no longer needed. The
source files are still recompiled for the nptl directory, just without
the “ptw-” prefix.
(Reducing the number of pattern rules in sysd-rules is critical for
improving make performance.)

Existing interposed mallocs do not define the glibc-internal
fork callbacks (and they should not), so statically interposed
mallocs lead to link failures because the strong reference from
fork pulls in glibc's malloc, resulting in multiple definitions
of malloc-related symbols.
|
|
Before this change, several tests did not detect early deadlocks
because they used SIGALRM as the expected signal, and they ran
for the full default TIMEOUT seconds.
This commit adds a new delayed_exit function to the test skeleton,
along with several error-checking wrappers to pthread functions.
Additional error checking is introduced into several tests.
|
|
|
|
It turns out that due to the reduced stack size in tst-tls3 and the
(fixed) default stack cache size, allocated TLS variables are never
freed, so the test coverage for tst-tls3-malloc is less than complete.
This change increases the thread stack size for tst-tls3-malloc only,
to make sure thread stacks and TLS variables are freed.
|
|
Instead, call malloc and explicitly align the pointer.
There is no external location to store the original (unaligned)
pointer, and this commit increases the allocation size to store
the pointer at a fixed location relative to the TCB pointer.
The manual alignment means that some space goes unused which
was previously made available for subsequent allocations.
However, in the TLS_DTV_AT_TP case, the manual alignment code
avoids aligning the pre-TCB to the TLS block alignment. (Even
while using memalign, the allocation had some unused padding
in front.)
This concludes the removal of memalign calls from the TLS code,
and the new tst-tls3-malloc test verifies that only core malloc
routines are used.
|
|
Instead of a flag which indicates the pointer can be freed, dtv_t
now includes the pointer which should be freed. Due to padding,
the size of dtv_t does not increase.
To avoid using memalign, the new allocate_dtv_entry function
allocates a sufficiently large buffer so that a sub-buffer
can be found in it which starts with an aligned pointer. Both
the aligned and original pointers are kept, the latter for calling
free later.
|
|
This reverts commit 62ce266b0b261def2c6329be9814ffdcc11964d6.
The change is not mature enough because it needs the following fixes:
1. Redirect test output to a file like other tests
2. Eliminate the need to use a .gdbinit because distributions will
break without it. I should have caught that but I was in too much
of a hurry to get the patch in :/
3. Feature checking during configure to determine things like minimum
required gdb version, python-pexpect version, etc. to make sure
that tests work correctly.

This patch adds pretty printers for the following NPTL types:
- pthread_mutex_t
- pthread_mutexattr_t
- pthread_cond_t
- pthread_condattr_t
- pthread_rwlock_t
- pthread_rwlockattr_t
To load the pretty printers into your gdb session, do the following:
python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/glibc/build/nptl/pretty-printers')
end
source /path/to/glibc/source/pretty-printers/nptl-printers.py
You can check which printers are registered and enabled by issuing the
'info pretty-printer' gdb command. Printers should trigger automatically when
trying to print a variable of one of the types mentioned above.
The printers are architecture-independent, and were manually tested on both
the gdb CLI and Eclipse CDT.
In order to work, the printers need to know the values of various flags that
are scattered throughout pthread.h and pthreadP.h as enums and #defines. Since
replicating these constants in the printers file itself would create a
maintenance burden, I wrote a script called gen-py-const.awk that Makerules uses
to extract the constants. This script is pretty much the same as gen-as-const.awk,
except it doesn't cast the constant values to 'long' and is thorougly documented.
The constants need only to be enumerated in a .pysym file, which is then referenced
by a Make variable called gen-py-const-headers.
As for the install directory, I discussed this with Mike Frysinger and Siddhesh
Poyarekar, and we agreed that it can be handled in a separate patch, and it shouldn't
block merging of this one.
In addition, I've written a series of test cases for the pretty printers.
Each lock type (mutex, condvar and rwlock) has two test programs, one for itself
and other for its related 'attributes' object. Each test program in turn has a
PExpect-based Python script that drives gdb and compares its output to the
expected printer's. The tests run on the glibc host, which is assumed to have
both gdb and PExpect; if either is absent the tests will fail with code 77
(UNSUPPORTED). For cross-testing you should use cross-test-ssh.sh as test-wrapper.
I've tested the printers on both a native build and a cross build using a Beaglebone
Black, with the build system's filesystem shared with the board through NFS.
Finally, I've written a README that explains all this and more.
Hopefully this should be good to go in now. Thanks.

In Linux/ARM environment, a robust mutex can't catch the timeout result
when it is already owned by other thread and requests to try lock with
a specific time value(pthread_mutex_timedlock). The futex already returns
the ETIMEDOUT result but there is no check the return value and it makes
a deadlock.
* nptl/lowlevelrobustlock.c: Implement ETIMEDOUT logic.

This patch adds early cancel test for open syscall through a FIFO
(thus makign subsequent call to open block until the other end is
also opened).
It also cleanup the sigpause tests by using sigpause along with
SIGINT instead of __xpg_sigpause and SIGCANCEL. Since the idea
is just to test the cancellation handling there is no need to expose
internal glibc implementation details to the test through pthreadP.h
inclusion.
Tested x86_64.
* nptl/tst-cancel4-common.c (do_test): Add temporary fifo creation.
* nptl/tst-cancel4-common.h (fifoname): New variable.
(fifofd): Likewise.
(cl_fifo): New function.
* nptl/tst-cancel4.c (tf_sigpause): Replace SIGCANCEL usage by
SIGINT.
(tf_open): Add early cancel test.

tst-cleanupx4 is linked with tst-cleanupx4.o and tst-cleanup4aux.o.
Since tst-cleanupx4.o is compiled from tst-cleanup4.c with -fexceptions,
tst-cleanup4aux.c should also be compiled with -fexceptions.
Tested on x86-64 and i686.
[BZ #18645]

atomic_compare_and_exchange_bool_rel and
catomic_compare_and_exchange_bool_rel are removed and replaced with the
new C11-like atomic_compare_exchange_weak_release. The concurrent code
in nscd/cache.c has not been reviewed yet, so this patch does not add
detailed comments.

This patch adds cancellation tests for both sendmmsg and recvmmsg
syscalls. Since for some system configuration (x86_64/i686 on
older kernels and non-Linux platforms), the tests are added as
two independent that report as unsupported if the syscall is not
presented.
Both new tests uses the already tst-cancel4.c code, which as moved
to a common tst-cancel4-common{.c,h} files.
Tested on x86_64 and i686.
* nptl/Makefile (test): Add tst-cancel4_1 and tst-cancel4_2.
* nptl/tst-cancel4-common.c: New file.
* nptl/tst-cancel4-common.h: Likewise.
* nptl/tst-cancel4.c: Move common definitions to
tst-cancel4-common.{c,h} file.

* nptl/tst-cancel4_2.c: New test.

This patch removes __ASSUME_FUTEX_LOCK_PI usage and assumes that
kernel will correctly return if it supports or not
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic.
Current PI mutex code already has runtime support by calling
prio_inherit_missing and returns ENOTSUP if the futex operation fails
at initialization (it issues a FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI futex operation).
Also, current minimum supported kernel (v3.2) will return ENOSYS if
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic is not supported in the system:
kernel/futex.c:
2628 long do_futex(u32 __user *uaddr, int op, u32 val, ktime_t *timeout,
2629 u32 __user *uaddr2, u32 val2, u32 val3)
2630 {
2631 int ret = -ENOSYS, cmd = op & FUTEX_CMD_MASK;
[...]
2667 case FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI:
2668 if (futex_cmpxchg_enabled)
2669 ret = futex_unlock_pi(uaddr, flags);
[...]
2686 return ret;
2687 }
The futex_cmpxchg_enabled is initialized by calling cmpxchg_futex_value_locked,
which calls futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic.
For ARM futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic will be either defined (if both
CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS and CONFIG_SMP are not defined) or use the
default generic implementation that returns ENOSYS.
For m68k is uses the default generic implementation.
For mips futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic will return ENOSYS if cpu has no
'cpu_has_llsc' support (defined by each chip supporte inside kernel).
For sparc, 32-bit kernel will just use default generic implementation,
while 64-bit kernel has support.
Tested on ARM (v3.8 kernel) and x86_64.
* nptl/pthread_mutex_init.c [__ASSUME_FUTEX_LOCK_PI]
(prio_inherit_missing): Remove define.

After some discussion in libc-alpha about this POSIX compliance fix, I see
that GLIBC should indeed revert back to previous definition of msghdr and
cmsghdr and implementation of sendmsg, recvmsg, sendmmsg, recvmmsg due some
reasons:
* The possible issue where the syscalls wrapper add the compatibility
layer is quite limited in scope and range. And kernel current
also add some limits to the values on the internal msghdr and
cmsghdr fields:
- msghdr::msg_iovlen larger than UIO_MAXIOV (1024) returns
EMSGSIZE.
- msghdr::msg_controllen larger than INT_MAX returns ENOBUFS.
* There is a small performance hit for recvmsg/sendmsg/recmmsg which
is neglectable, but it is a big hit for sendmmsg since now instead
of calling the syscall for the packed structure, GLIBC is calling
multiple sendmsg. This defeat the very existence of the syscall.
* It currently breaks libsanitizer build on GCC [1] (I fixed on compiler-rt).
However the fix is incomplete because it does add any runtime check
since libsanitizer currently does not have any facility to intercept
symbols with multiple version [2].
This, along with incorret dlsym/dlvsym return for versioned symbol due
another bug [3], makes hard to interpose versioned symbols.
Also, current approach of fixing GCC PR#71445 leads to half-baked
solutions without versioned symbol interposing.
This patch basically reverts commits 2f0dc39029ae08, 222c2d7f4357d66,
af7f7c7ec8dea1. I decided to not revert abf29edd4a3918 (Adjust
kernel-features.h defaults for recvmsg and sendmsg) mainly because it
does not really address the POSIX compliance original issue and also
adds some cleanups.
Tested on x86, i386, s390, s390x, aarch64, and powerpc64le.
