*	Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrights	Paul Eggert	2021-01-02	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	I used these shell commands: ../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright (cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]") and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning: copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO. I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this diagnostic from Savannah: remote: * pre-commit check failed ... remote: * error: lines with trailing whitespace found remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
*	Block all signals on timer_create thread (BZ#10815)	Adhemerval Zanella	2020-02-19	1	-0/+78
	The behavior of the signal mask on threads created by timer_create for SIGEV_THREAD timers are implementation-defined and glibc explicit unblocks all signals before calling the user-defined function. This behavior, although not incorrect standard-wise, opens a race if a program using a blocked rt-signal plus sigwaitinfo (and without an installed signal handler for the rt-signal) receives a signal while executing the used-defined function for SIGEV_THREAD. A better alternative discussed in bug report is to rather block all signals (besides the internal ones not available to application usage). This patch fixes this issue by only unblocking SIGSETXID (used on set*uid function) and SIGCANCEL (used for thread cancellation). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
