Adhemerval Zanella Netto Sept. 14, 2016, 6:56 p.m. UTC
This patch correctly enable and disable asynchronous cancellation on
Linux posix_spawn.  Current code invert the logic by enabling and
disabling instead.  A new test that checks if posix_spawn is not in fact
a cancellation entrypoint is added.

Checked on x86_64, i686, powerpc64le, and aarch64.

	* nptl/Makefile (tests): Add tst-exec5.
	* nptl/tst-exec5.c: New file.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawni): Correctly enable and disable
	asynchronous cancellation.

We have xpthread_barrier_wait now (also below).

Don't you have to try this multiple times, to see if you can hit the
race?

xpthread_create.

xpthread_join.

Ack, I will change to xpthread_barrier_wait.

Not in this test because the idea is to check if posix_spawn acts or not
on a pending cancellation, not if an asynchronous cancellation cancels the
thread while the thread executes posix_spawn.

Ah, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the different forms of
cancellation.  Patch is good as-is then.  Thanks.
