Arjun Shankar 52a103e237 Fix deadlock when pthread_atfork handler calls pthread_atfork or dlclose
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.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arc*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
