Subject: [PATCH] Fix __fork
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 15:01:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020619000118.B20867@sunsite.ms.mff.cuni.cz> (raw)

Hi!

The following program hangs:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void *
thread_func (void *arg)
{
  return 0;
}

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  pthread_t thread;

  pthread_create (&thread, 0, thread_func, 0);
  system ("/bin/echo Hello, world!");
  return 0;
}

the reason is that some libc.so PLT removal got too far, particularly
we need to call fork/__fork from libpthread in threaded programs.

Here is a patch which backs out the __fork -> __fork_internal
changes and makes the above testcase work.

I wonder if read, write, open, close, sendto, recvfrom, select, etc.
(and their __* counterparts) called from glibc don't have to go to
libpthread too, because otherwise if they block they will not be
cancellation points. For open/close I think we can guess that they
will not block if we are not opening some device, but for the rest they
will probably block.

	* include/unistd.h (__fork_internal): Remove.
	(__fork): Don't define to __fork_internal.
	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/fork.c (__fork): Remove INTDEF.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/aix/fork.c (__fork): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/fork.S (__fork_internal): Remove
	alias.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/fork.S (__fork_internal): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list (__fork_internal): Likewise.
