| The patch in this Bugzilla entry was requested by a customer: |
| https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4578 |
| |
| If a thread happens to hold dl_load_lock and have r_state set to RT_ADD or |
| RT_DELETE at the time another thread calls fork(), then the child exit code |
| from fork (in nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fork.c in our case) re-initializes |
| dl_load_lock but does not restore r_state to RT_CONSISTENT. If the child |
| subsequently requires ld.so functionality before calling exec(), then the |
| assertion will fire. |
| |
| The patch acquires dl_load_lock on entry to fork() and releases it on exit |
| from the parent path. The child path is initialized as currently done. |
| This is essentially pthreads_atfork, but forced to be first because the |
| acquisition of dl_load_lock must happen before malloc_atfork is active |
| to avoid a deadlock. |
| The patch has not yet been integrated upstream. |
