Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drmtest: Avoid wrong PID/TID after clone races
Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2013 16:44:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386089095-9966-3-git-send-email-tvrtko.ursulin@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1386089095-9966-1-git-send-email-tvrtko.ursulin@linux.intel.com>
From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>
Various C library implementations have various races with regards
to caching getpid() or TID inside pthread_kill() implementations.
For example see clone(2) glibc man page and pthread_kill
Bionic C library source.
Work around that by making sure correct PID/TGID and TID values
are retrieved from the kernel when re-raising the signal. It
can be delivered immediately after the clone system call while C
library cached copies have not yet been updated.
