+	* mutex.c (pthread_once): IN_PROGRESS state of pthread_once_t
+	object state is represented with additional bits which distinguish
+	whether that state was set up in the current process, or
+	in an ancestor process. If that state was set in an ancestor,
+	it means that a fork happened while thread was executing the init
+	function. In that case, the state is reset to NEVER.
+	* mutex.c (__pthread_once_fork_prepare): New function.
+	(__pthread_once_fork_child): Likewise
+	(__pthread_once_fork_parent): Likewise
+	(__pthread_reset_pthread_once): Removed.
+	* ptfork.c (__fork): Call new handlers in mutex.c.
+	* internals.h: Declarations of new mutex.c functions added.
+	Declaration of removed function deleted.
+	* linuxthreads.texi: Updated documentation about pthread_once
+	to clarify what happens under cancellation and forking.

 	* internals.h: New thread manager request type, REQ_KICK.
 	* join.c (pthread_exit): main thread now calls exit() instead
 	of _exit() in order to proper process cleanup.

 @code{pthread_once} with the same @code{once_control} argument do
 nothing.
 
+If a thread is cancelled while executing @var{init_routine}
+the state of the @var{once_control} variable is reset so that
+a future call to @code{pthread_once} will call the routine again.
+
+If the process forks while one or more threads are executing
+@code{pthread_once} initialization routines, the states of their respective
+@var{once_control} variables will appear to be reset in the child process so
+that if the child calls @code{pthread_once}, the routines will be executed.

 @code{pthread_once} always returns 0.
