Subject: [PATCH] nptl: wait for pending setxid request also in detached thread
(bug 25942)
There is a race between __nptl_setxid and exiting detached thread, which
causes a deadlock on stack_cache_lock. The deadlock happens in this
state:
T1: setgroups -> __nptl_setxid (holding stack_cache_lock, waiting on cmdp->cntr == 0)
T2 (detached, exiting): start_thread -> __deallocate_stack (waiting on stack_cache_lock)
more threads waiting on stack_cache_lock in pthread_create
For non-detached threads, start_thread waits for its own setxid handler to
finish before exiting. Do this for detached threads as well.
