nptl: Fix Race conditions in pthread cancellation [BZ#12683]

The current racy approach is to enable asynchronous cancellation
before making the syscall and restore the previous cancellation
type once the syscall returns, and check if cancellation has happen
during the cancellation entrypoint.

As described in BZ#12683, this approach shows 2 problems:

  1. Cancellation can act after the syscall has returned from the
     kernel, but before userspace saves the return value.  It might
     result in a resource leak if the syscall allocated a resource or a
     side effect (partial read/write), and there is no way to program
     handle it with cancellation handlers.

  2. If a signal is handled while the thread is blocked at a cancellable
     syscall, the entire signal handler runs with asynchronous
     cancellation enabled.  This can lead to issues if the signal
     handler call functions which are async-signal-safe but not
     async-cancel-safe.

For the cancellation to work correctly, there are 5 points at which the
cancellation signal could arrive:

  1. Before the final "testcancel" and before the syscall is made.
  2. Between the "testcancel" and the syscall.
  3. While the syscall is blocked and no side effects have yet taken
     place.
  4. While the syscall is blocked but with some side effects already
     having taken place (e.g. a partial read or write).
  5. After the syscall has returned.

And libc wants to act on cancellation in cases 1, 2, and 3 but not
in cases 4 or 5.  For the 4 and 5 cases, the cancellation will eventually
happen in the next cancellable entrypoint without any further external
event.

The proposed solution for each case is:

  1. Do a conditional branch based on whether the thread has received
     a cancellation request;

  2. It can be caught by the signal handler determining that the saved
     program counter (from the ucontext_t) is in some address range
     beginning just before the "testcancel" and ending with the
     syscall instruction.

  3. In this case, except for certain syscalls that ALWAYS fail with
     EINTR even for non-interrupting signals, the kernel will reset
     the program counter to point at the syscall instruction during
     signal handling, so that the syscall is restarted when the signal
     handler returns.  So, from the signal handler's standpoint, this
     looks the same as case 2, and thus it's taken care of.

  4. For syscalls with side-effects, the kernel cannot restart the
     syscall; when it's interrupted by a signal, the kernel must cause
     the syscall to return with whatever partial result is obtained
     (e.g. partial read or write).

  5. The saved program counter points just after the syscall
     instruction, so the signal handler won't act on cancellation.
     This is similar to 4. since the program counter is past the syscall
     instruction.

So The proposed fixes are:

  1. Remove the enable_asynccancel/disable_asynccancel function usage in
     cancellable syscall definition and instead make them call a common
     symbol that will check if cancellation is enabled (__syscall_cancel
     at nptl/cancellation.c), call the arch-specific cancellable
     entry-point (__syscall_cancel_arch), and cancel the thread when
     required.

  2. Provide an arch-specific generic system call wrapper function
     that contains global markers.  These markers will be used in
     SIGCANCEL signal handler to check if the interruption has been
     called in a valid syscall and if the syscalls has side-effects.

     A reference implementation sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscall_cancel.c
     is provided.  However, the markers may not be set on correct
     expected places depending on how INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NCS is
     implemented by the architecture.  It is expected that all
     architectures add an arch-specific implementation.

  3. Rewrite SIGCANCEL asynchronous handler to check for both canceling
     type and if current IP from signal handler falls between the global
     markers and act accordingly.

  4. Adjust libc code to replace LIBC_CANCEL_ASYNC/LIBC_CANCEL_RESET to
     appropriated cancelable syscalls.

  5. Adjust 'lowlevellock-futex.h' arch-specific implementations to
     provide cancelable futex calls.

This patch adds the proposed changes to NPTL common code and the
following patches add the requires arch-specific bits.  The build for
ia64-linux-gnu, mips-*, and x86_64-* are broken without the
arch-specific patches.

+
+   This implementation should be used as a reference one to document the
+   implementation constraints:
+
+     1. The __syscall_cancel_arch_start should point just before the test
+        that thread is already cancelled,
+     2.	The __syscall_cancel_arch_end should point to the immediate next

+     3. It should return the syscall value or a negative result if is has
+        failed, similar to INTERNAL_SYSCALL_CALL.
+
+   The __syscall_cancel_arch_end one is because the kernel will signal
+   interrupted syscall with side effects by setting the signal frame program
+   counter (on the ucontext_t third argument from SA_SIGINFO signal handler)
+   right after the syscall instruction.
+
+   For some architecture, the INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NCS macro use more instructions
+   to get the error condition from kernel (as for powerpc and sparc that
+   checks for the conditional register), or uses an out of the line helper
+   (ARM thumb), or uses a kernel helper gate (i686 or ia64).  In this case
+   the architecture should either adjust the macro or provide a custom
+   __syscall_cancel_arch implementation.   */
