[PATCH 0/2] drmtest: Fix hanging child processes

[Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@linux.intel.com>]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

It was observed both on Linux and Android that tests which
fork can sometimes hang failing to terminate child
processes.

This was eventually tracked down to race conditions in C
library implementations, all with regards to caching of
PID/TGID and TID values.

Solution is to revert the previous workaround, which closed
the race under glibc a bit, and ensure current values from
the kernel are used during timing sensitive periods.

This was tested under Android only but should be a generic fix.
