      fix pthread_join wait call: thread termination tid futex is not private · eb351a9e
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this seeme to be the bug that prevented enabling of private futex
      support. i'm going to hold off on switching to private futexes until
      after the next release, and until i get a chance to audit all
      wait/wake calls to make sure they're using the correct private
      argument, but with this change it should be safe to enable private
      futex support.

      unify and overhaul timed futex waits · ec381af9
      Rich Felker 提交于
      new features:
      
      - FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET op will be used for timed waits if available. this
        saves a call to clock_gettime.
      
      - error checking for the timespec struct is now inside __timedwait so
        it doesn't need to be duplicated everywhere. cond_timedwait still
        needs to duplicate it to avoid unlocking the mutex, though.
      
      - pushing and popping the cancellation handler is delegated to
        __timedwait, and cancellable/non-cancellable waits are unified.

      overhaul pthread cancellation · feee9890
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this patch improves the correctness, simplicity, and size of
      cancellation-related code. modulo any small errors, it should now be
      completely conformant, safe, and resource-leak free.
      
      the notion of entering and exiting cancellation-point context has been
      completely eliminated and replaced with alternative syscall assembly
      code for cancellable syscalls. the assembly is responsible for setting
      up execution context information (stack pointer and address of the
      syscall instruction) which the cancellation signal handler can use to
      determine whether the interrupted code was in a cancellable state.
      
      these changes eliminate race conditions in the previous generation of
      cancellation handling code (whereby a cancellation request received
      just prior to the syscall would not be processed, leaving the syscall
      to block, potentially indefinitely), and remedy an issue where
      non-cancellable syscalls made from signal handlers became cancellable
      if the signal handler interrupted a cancellation point.
      
      x86_64 asm is untested and may need a second try to get it right.
