nptl: Fix sem_wait and sem_timedwait cancellation (BZ#18243)
This patch fixes both sem_wait and sem_timedwait cancellation point for uncontended case. In this scenario only atomics are involved and thus the futex cancellable call is not issue and a pending cancellation signal is not handled. The fix is straighforward by calling pthread_testcancel is both function start. Although it would be simpler to call CANCELLATION_P directly, I decided to add an internal pthread_testcancel alias and use it to export less internal implementation on such function. A possible change on how pthread_testcancel is internally implemented would lead to either continue to force use CANCELLATION_P or to adjust its every use. GLIBC testcase also does have tests for uncontended cases, test-cancel12 and test-cancel14.c, however both are flawed by adding another cancellation point just after thread pthread_cleanup_pop: 47 static void * 48 tf (void *arg) 49 { 50 pthread_cleanup_push (cleanup, NULL); 51 52 int e = pthread_barrier_wait (&bar); 53 if (e != 0 && e != PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD) 54 { 55 puts ("tf: 1st barrier_wait failed"); 56 exit (1); 57 } 58 59 /* This call should block and be cancelable. */ 60 sem_wait (&sem); 61 62 pthread_cleanup_pop (0); 63 64 puts ("sem_wait returned"); 65 66 return NULL; 67 } So sem_{timed}wait does not act on cancellation, pthread_cleanup_pop executes 'cleanup' and then 'puts' acts on cancellation. Since pthread_cleanup_pop removed the clean-up handler, it will ran only once and thus it won't accuse an error to indicate sem_wait has not acted on the cancellation signal. This patch also fixes this behavior by removing the cancellation point 'puts'. It also adds some cleanup on all sem_{timed}wait cancel tests. It partially fixes BZ #18243. Checked on x86_64. [BZ #18243] * nptl/pthreadP.h (__pthread_testcancel): Add prototype and hidden_proto. * nptl/pthread_testcancel.c (pthread_cancel): Add internal aliais definition. * nptl/sem_timedwait.c (sem_timedwait): Add cancellation check for uncontended case. * nptl/sem_wait.c (__new_sem_wait): Likewise. * nptl/tst-cancel12.c (cleanup): Remove wrong cancellation point. (tf): Fix check for uncontended case. (do_test): Likewise. * nptl/tst-cancel13.c (cleanup): Remove wrong cancellation point. (tf): Fix check for uncontended case. (do_test): Likewise. * nptl/tst-cancel14.c (cleanup): Remove wrong cancellation point. (tf): Fix check for uncontended case. (do_test): Likewise. * nptl/tst-cancel15.c (cleanup): Remove wrong cancellation point. (tf): Fix check for uncontended case. (do_test): Likewise.
