2022-07-05Replace __libc_multiple_threads with __libc_single_threadedAdhemerval Zanella
And also fixes the SINGLE_THREAD_P macro for SINGLE_THREAD_BY_GLOBAL, since header inclusion single-thread.h is in the wrong order, the define needs to come before including sysdeps/unix/sysdep.h. The macro is now moved to a per-arch single-threade.h header. The SINGLE_THREAD_P is used on some more places. Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.
2022-06-24misc: Optimize internal usage of __libc_single_threadedAdhemerval Zanella
By adding an internal alias to avoid the GOT indirection. On some architecture, __libc_single_thread may be accessed through copy relocations and thus it requires to update also the copies default copy. This is done by adding a new internal macro, libc_hidden_data_{proto,def}, which has an addition argument that specifies the alias name (instead of default __GI_ one). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Fangrui Song <maskray@google.com>
2022-05-25Fix deadlock when pthread_atfork handler calls pthread_atfork or dlcloseArjun Shankar
In multi-threaded programs, registering via pthread_atfork, de-registering implicitly via dlclose, or running pthread_atfork handlers during fork was protected by an internal lock. This meant that a pthread_atfork handler attempting to register another handler or dlclose a dynamically loaded library would lead to a deadlock. This commit fixes the deadlock in the following way: During the execution of handlers at fork time, the atfork lock is released prior to the execution of each handler and taken again upon its return. Any handler registrations or de-registrations that occurred during the execution of the handler are accounted for before proceeding with further handler execution. If a handler that hasn't been executed yet gets de-registered by another handler during fork, it will not be executed. If a handler gets registered by another handler during fork, it will not be executed during that particular fork. The possibility that handlers may now be registered or deregistered during handler execution means that identifying the next handler to be run after a given handler may register/de-register others requires some bookkeeping. The fork_handler struct has an additional field, 'id', which is assigned sequentially during registration. Thus, handlers are executed in ascending order of 'id' during 'prepare', and descending order of 'id' during parent/child handler execution after the fork. Two tests are included: * tst-atfork3: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org> This test exercises calling dlclose from prepare, parent, and child handlers. * tst-atfork4: This test exercises calling pthread_atfork and dlclose from the prepare handler.

2021-10-04elf: Avoid deadlock between pthread_create and ctors [BZ #28357]Szabolcs Nagy
The fix for bug 19329 caused a regression such that pthread_create can deadlock when concurrent ctors from dlopen are waiting for it to finish. Use a new GL(dl_load_tls_lock) in pthread_create that is not taken around ctors in dlopen. The new lock is also used in __tls_get_addr instead of GL(dl_load_lock). The new lock is held in _dl_open_worker and _dl_close_worker around most of the logic before/after the init/fini routines. When init/fini routines are running then TLS is in a consistent, usable state. In _dl_open_worker the new lock requires catching and reraising dlopen failures that happen in the critical section. The new lock is reinitialized in a fork child, to keep the existing behaviour and it is kept recursive in case malloc interposition or TLS access from signal handlers can retake it. It is not obvious if this is necessary or helps, but avoids changing the preexisting behaviour. The new lock may be more appropriate for dl_iterate_phdr too than GL(dl_load_write_lock), since TLS state of an incompletely loaded module may be accessed. If the new lock can replace the old one, that can be a separate change. Fixes bug 28357. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
2021-06-28posix: Add _Fork [BZ #4737]Adhemerval Zanella
Austin Group issue 62 [1] dropped the async-signal-safe requirement for fork and provided a async-signal-safe _Fork replacement that does not run the atfork handlers. It will be included in the next POSIX standard. It allow to close a long standing issue to make fork AS-safe (BZ#4737). As indicated on the bug, besides the internal lock for the atfork handlers itself; there is no guarantee that the handlers itself will not introduce more AS-safe issues. The idea is synchronize fork with the required internal locks to allow children in multithread processes to use mostly of standard function (even though POSIX states only AS-safe function should be used). On signal handles, _Fork should be used intead and only AS-safe functions should be used. For testing, the new tst-_Fork only check basic usage. I also added a new tst-mallocfork3 which uses the same strategy to check for deadlock of tst-mallocfork2 but using threads instead of subprocesses (and it does deadlock if it replaces _Fork with fork).

2021-06-24posix: Consolidate fork implementationAdhemerval Zanella
The Linux nptl implementation is used as base for generic fork implementation to handle the internal locks and mutexes. The system specific bits are moved a new internal _Fork symbol. (This new implementation will be used to provide a async-signal-safe _Fork now that POSIX has clarified that fork might not be async-signal-safe [1]). For Hurd it means that the __nss_database_fork_prepare_parent and __nss_database_fork_subprocess will be run in a slight different order. [1] https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=62
