The use after free described in BZ#19951 is due the use of two different
PD fields, 'joinid' and 'cancelhandling', to describe the thread state
and to synchronize the calls of pthread_join, pthread_detach,
pthread_exit, and normal thread exit.
Any state change potentially requires to check for both field
atomically to handle partial state (such as pthread_join() with a
cancellation handler to issue a 'joinstate' field rollback).
This patch uses a different PD member with 4 possible states (JOINABLE,
DETACHED, EXITING, and EXITED) instead of pthread 'tid' field, with
the following logic:
1. On pthread_create the inital state is set either to JOINABLE or
DETACHED depending of the pthread attribute used.
2. On pthread_detach, a CAS is issued on the state. If the CAS
fails it means that thread is already detached (DETACHED) or is
being terminated (EXITING). For former an EINVAL is returned,
while for latter pthread_detach should be reponsible to join the
thread (and deallocate any internal resource).
3. In the exit phase of the wrapper function for the thread start
routine (reached either if the thread function has returned,
pthread_exit has being called, or cancellation handled has been
acted upon) we issue a CAS on state to set to EXITING mode. If the
thread is previously on DETACHED mode the thread itself is
responsible for arranging the deallocation of any resource,
otherwise the thread needs to be joined (detached threads cannot
immediately deallocate themselves).
4. The clear_tid_field on 'clone' call is changed to set the new
'state' field on thread exit (EXITED). This state is only
reached at thread termination.
5. The pthread_join implementation is now simpler: the futex wait
is done directly on thread state and there is no need to reset it
in case of timeout since the state is now set either by
pthread_detach() or by the kernel on process termination.
The race condition on pthread_detach is avoided with only one atomic
operation on PD state: once the mode is set to THREAD_STATE_DETACHED
it is up to thread itself to deallocate its memory (done on the exit
phase at pthread_create()).
Also, the INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P is removed since a a negative
tid is not possible and the macro is not used anywhere.
This change trigger an invalid C11 thread tests: it crates a thread,
which detaches itself, and after a timeout the creating thread checks
if the join fails. The issue is once thrd_join() is called the thread
lifetime is not defined.

A new build flag, _TIME_BITS, enables the usage of the newer 64-bit
time symbols for legacy ABI (where 32-bit time_t is default). The 64
bit time support is only enabled if LFS (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) is
also used.
Different than LFS support, the y2038 symbols are added only for the
required ABIs (armhf, csky, hppa, i386, m68k, microblaze, mips32,
mips64-n32, nios2, powerpc32, sparc32, s390-32, and sh). The ABIs with
64-bit time support are unchanged, both for symbol and types
redirection.
On Linux the full 64-bit time support requires a minimum of kernel
version v5.1. Otherwise, the 32-bit fallbacks are used and might
results in error with overflow return code (EOVERFLOW).
The i686-gnu does not yet support 64-bit time.

The symbols pthread_clockjoin_np, pthread_join, pthread_timedjoin_np,
pthread_tryjoin_np, thrd_join were moved using
scripts/move-symbol-to-libc.py.
Moving the symbols at the same time avoids the need for temporary

The pthread_clockjoin_np and pthread_timedjoin_np have been converted to
support 64 bit time.
This change introduces new futex_timed_wait_cancel64 function in
./sysdeps/nptl/futex-internal.h, which uses futex_time64 where possible
and tries to replace low-level preprocessor macros from
lowlevellock-futex.h
The pthread_{timed|clock}join_np only accept absolute time. Moreover,
there is no need to check for NULL passed as *abstime pointer as
clockwait_tid() always passes struct __timespec64.
For systems with __TIMESIZE != 64 && __WORDSIZE == 32:
- Conversions between 64 bit time to 32 bit are necessary
- Redirection to __pthread_{clock|timed}join_np64 will provide support
for 64 bit time
Build tests:
./src/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py glibcs
Run-time tests:
- Run specific tests on ARM/x86 32bit systems (qemu):
https://github.com/lmajewski/meta-y2038 and run tests:
https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038-tests/commits/master
Above tests were performed with Y2038 redirection applied as well as without
to test the proper usage of both __pthread_{timed|clock}join_np64 and
__pthread_{timed|clock}join_np.

Introduce pthread_clockjoin_np as a version of pthread_timedjoin_np that
accepts a clockid_t parameter to indicate which clock the timeout should be
measured against. This mirrors the recently-added POSIX-proposed "clock"
wait functions.
