2019-02-18misc/tst-clone3: Fix waiting for exited thread.Stefan Liebler
From time to time the test misc/tst-clone3 fails with a timeout. Then futex_wait is blocking. Usually ctid should be set to zero due to CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID and the futex should be waken up. But the fail occures if the thread has already exited before ctid is set to the return value of clone(). Then futex_wait() will block as there will be nobody who wakes the futex up again. This patch initializes ctid to a known value before calling clone and the kernel is the only one who updates the value to zero after clone. If futex_wait is called then it is either waked up due to the exited thread or the futex syscall fails as *ctid_ptr is already zero instead of the specified value 1. ChangeLog: * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-clone3.c (do_test): Initialize ctid with a known value and remove update of ctid after clone. (wait_tid): Adjust arguments and call futex_wait with ctid_val as assumed current value of ctid_ptr.

2017-06-26Call exit directly in clone (BZ #21512)Adhemerval Zanella
On aarch64, alpha, arm, hppa, mips, nios2, powerpc, sh, sparc, tile, and x86_64 the clone syscall jumps to _exit after the child execution and the function ends the process execution by calling exit_group. This behavior have a small issue where threads created with CLONE_THREAD using clone syscall directly will eventually exit the whole group altogether instead of just the thread created. Also, s390, microblaze, ia64, i386, and m68k differs by calling exit syscall directly. This patch changes all architectures to call the exit syscall directly, as for s390, microblaze, ia64, i386, and m68k. This do not have change glibc internal behavior in any sort, since the only usage of clone implementation in posix_spawn calls _exit directly in the created child (fork uses a direct call to clone). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu, and sparcv9-linux-gnu.
