C99 has ways to support fenv access, but compilers don't implement it
and assume nearest rounding mode and no fp status flag access. (gcc has
-frounding-math and then it does not assume nearest rounding mode, but
it still assumes the compiled code itself does not change the mode.
Even if the C99 mechanism was implemented it is not ideal: it requires
all code in the library to be compiled with FENV_ACCESS "on" to make it
usable in non-nearest rounding mode, but that limits optimizations more
than necessary.)
The math functions should give reasonable results in all rounding modes
(but the quality may be degraded in non-nearest rounding modes) and the
fp status flag settings should follow the spec, so fenv side-effects are
important and code transformations that break them should be prevented.
Unfortunately compilers don't give any help with this, the best we can
do is to add fp barriers to the code using volatile local variables
(they create a stack frame and undesirable memory accesses to it) or
inline asm (gcc specific, requires target specific fp reg constraints,
often creates unnecessary reg moves and multiple barriers are needed to
express that an operation has side-effects) or extern call (only useful
in tail-call position to avoid stack-frame creation and does not work
with lto).
We assume that in a math function if an operation depends on the input
and the output depends on it, then the operation will be evaluated at
runtime when the function is called, producing all the expected fenv
side-effects (this is not true in case of lto and in case the operation
is evaluated with excess precision that is not rounded away). So fp
barriers are needed (1) to prevent the move of an operation within a
function (in case it may be moved from an unevaluated code path into an
evaluated one or if it may be moved across a fenv access), (2) force the
evaluation of an operation for its side-effect when it has no input
dependency (may be constant folded) or (3) when its output is unused. I
belive that fp_barrier and fp_force_eval can take care of these and they
should not be needed in hot code paths.

Nothing is left from the original fdlibm header nor from the bsd
modifications to it other than some internal api declarations.

Code generation for SET_HIGH_WORD slightly changes, but it only affects
pow, otherwise the generated code is unchanged.

This makes it easier to build musl math code with a compiler that
does not support complex types (tcc) and in general more sensible
factorization of the internal headers.

the weak version of __syscall_cp_c was using a tail call to __syscall
to avoid duplicating the 6-argument syscall code inline in small
static-linked programs, but now that __syscall no longer exists, the
inline expansion is no longer duplication.
the syscall.h machinery suppported up to 7 syscall arguments, only via
an external __syscall function, but we presently have no syscall call
points that actually make use of that many, and the kernel only
defines 7-argument calling conventions for arm, powerpc (32-bit), and
sh. if it turns out we need them in the future, they can easily be
added.

this is the first part of a series of patches intended to make
__syscall fully self-contained in the object file produced using
syscall.h, which will make it possible for crt1 code to perform
syscalls.
the (confusingly named) i386 __vsyscall mechanism, which this commit
removes, was introduced before the presence of a valid thread pointer
was mandatory; back then the thread pointer was setup lazily only if
threads were used. the intent was to be able to perform syscalls using
the kernel's fast entry point in the VDSO, which can use the sysenter
(Intel) or syscall (AMD) instruction instead of int $128, but without
inlining an access to the __syscall global at the point of each
syscall, which would incur a significant size cost from PIC setup
everywhere. the mechanism also shuffled registers/calling convention
around to avoid spills of call-saved registers, and to avoid
allocating ebx or ebp via asm constraints, since there are plenty of
broken-but-supported compiler versions which are incapable of
allocating ebx with -fPIC or ebp with -fno-omit-frame-pointer.
the new mechanism preserves the properties of avoiding spills and
avoiding allocation of ebx/ebp in constraints, but does it inline,
using some fairly simple register shuffling, and uses a field of the
thread structure rather than global data for the vdso-provided syscall
code address.
for now, the external __syscall function is refactored not to use the
old __vsyscall so it can be kept, but the intent is to remove it too.

this is a workaround to avoid a crashing regression on qemu-user when
dynamic TLS is installed at dlopen time. the sigaction syscall should
not be able to fail, but it does fail for implementation-internal
signals under qemu user-level emulation if the host libc qemu is
running under reserves the same signals for implementation-internal
use, since qemu makes no provision to redirect/emulate them. after
sigaction fails, the subsequent tkill would terminate the process
abnormally as the default action.
no provision to account for membarrier failing is made in the dynamic
linker code that installs new TLS. at the formal level, the missing
barrier in this case is incorrect, and perhaps we should fail the
dlopen operation, but in practice all the archs we support (and
probably all real-world archs except alpha, which isn't yet supported)
should give the right behavior with no barrier at all as a consequence
of consume-order properties.
in the long term, this workaround should be supplemented or replaced
by something better -- a different fallback approach to ensuring
memory consistency, or dynamic allocation of implementation-internal
signals. the latter is appealing in that it would allow cancellation
to work under qemu-user too, and would even allow many levels of
nested emulation.

Mark atanhi, atanlo, and aT in atanl.c as static, as they're not
intended to be part of the public API.
These are already static in the LDBL_MANT_DIG == 64 code, so this
patch is just making the LDBL_MANT_DIG == 113 code do the same thing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The result is the same but takes less code.
Note that __execvpe calls getenv which calls __strchrnul so even
using static output the size of the executable won't grow.

commit 54ca677983d47529bab8752315ac1a2b49888870 inadvertently
introduced bitwise and where logical and was intended. since the
right-hand operand is always 0 or -1 whenever the left-hand operand is
nonzero, the behavior happened to be equivalent.

priority inheritance is a feature to mitigate priority inversion
situations, where a execution of a medium-priority thread can
unboundedly block forward progress of a high-priority thread when a
lock it needs is held by a low-priority thread.
the natural way to do priority inheritance would be with a simple
futex flag to donate the calling thread's priority to a target thread
while it waits on the futex. unfortunately, linux does not offer such
an interface, but instead insists on implementing the whole locking
protocol in kernelspace with special futex commands that exist solely
for the purpose of doing PI mutexes. this would require the entire
"trylock" logic to be duplicated in the timedlock code path for PI
mutexes, since, once the previous lock holder releases the lock and
the futex call returns, the lock is already held by the caller.
obviously such code duplication is undesirable.
instead, I've made the PI timedlock success path set the mutex lock
count to -1, which can be thought of as "not yet complete", since a
lock count of 0 is "locked, with no recursive references". a simple
branch in a non-hot path of pthread_mutex_trylock can then see and act
on this state, skipping past the code that would check and take the
lock to the same code path that runs after the lock is obtained for a
non-PI mutex.
because we're forced to let the kernel perform the actual lock and
unlock operations whenever the mutex is contended, we have to patch
things up when it does the wrong thing:
1. the lock operation is not aware of whether the mutex is
error-checking, so it will always fail with EDEADLK rather than
deadlocking.
2. the lock operation is not aware of whether the mutex is robust, so
it will successfully obtain mutexes in the owner-died state even if
they're non-robust, whereas this operation should deadlock.
3. the unlock operation always sets the lock value to zero, whereas
for robust mutexes, we want to set it to a special value indicating
that the mutex obtained after its owner died was unlocked without
marking it consistent, so that future operations all fail with
ENOTRECOVERABLE.
the first of these is easy to solve, just by performing a futex wait
on a dummy futex address to simulate deadlock or ETIMEDOUT as
appropriate. but problems 2 and 3 interact in a nasty way. to solve
problem 2, we need to back out the spurious success. but if waiters
are present -- which we can't just ignore, because even if we don't
want to wake them, the calling thread is incorrectly inheriting their
priorities -- this requires using the kernel's unlock operation, which
will zero the lock value, thereby losing the "owner died with lock
held" state.
to solve these problems, we overload the mutex's waiters field, which
is unused for PI mutexes since they don't call the normal futex wait
functions, as an indicator that the PI mutex is permanently
non-lockable. originally I wanted to use the count field, but there is
one code path that needs to access this flag without synchronization:
trylock's CAS failure path needs to be able to decide whether to fail
with EBUSY or ENOTRECOVERABLE, the waiters field is already treated as
a relaxed-order atomic in our memory model, so this works out nicely.

there was no point in masking off the pshared bit when first loading
the type, since every subsequent access involves a mask anyway. not
masking it may avoid a subsequent load to check the pshared flag, and
it's just simpler.

commit 84d061d5a31c9c773e29e1e2b1ffe8cb9557bc58 wrongly moved the
access to the global next_key outside of the scope of the lock. the
error manifested as spurious failure to find an available key slot
under concurrent calls to pthread_key_create, since the stopping
condition could be met after only a small number of slots were
examined.

commit d6c855caa88ddb1ab6e24e23a14b1e7baf4ba9c7 caused this
"regression", though the behavior was undefined before, overlooking
that f->shend=0 was being used as a sentinel for "EOF" status (actual
EOF or hitting the scanf field width) of the stream helper (shgetc)
functions.
obviously the shgetc macro could be adjusted to check for a null
pointer in addition to the != comparison, but it's the hot path, and
adding extra code/branches to it begins to defeat the purpose.
so instead of setting shend to a null pointer to block further reads,
which no longer works, set it to the current position (rpos). this
makes the shgetc macro work with no change, but it breaks shunget,
which can no longer look at the value of shend to determine whether to
back up. Szabolcs Nagy suggested a solution which I'm using here:
setting shlim to a negative value is inexpensive to test at shunget
time, and automatically re-trips the cnt>=shlim stop condition in
__shgetc no matter what the original limit was.

commit 2de29bc994029b903a366b8a4a9f8c3c3ee2be90 left behind one
reference to pthread_mutex_trylock. fixing this also improves code
generation due to the namespace-safe version being hidde.

The original logic considered each byte until it either found a 0
value or a value >= 192. This means if a string segment contained any
byte >= 192 it was interepretted as a compressed segment marker even
if it wasn't in a position where it should be interpretted as such.
The fix is to adjust dn_skipname to increment by each segments size
rather than look at each character. This avoids misinterpretting
string segment characters by not considering those bytes.

C11 removed the requirement that FILE be a complete type, which was
deemed erroneous, as part of the changes introduced by N1439 regarding
completeness of types (see footnote 6 for specific mention of FILE).
however the current version of POSIX is still based on C99 and
incorporates the old requirement that FILE be a complete type.
expose an arbitrary, useless complete type definition because the
actual object used to represent FILE streams cannot be public/ABI.
thanks to commit 13d1afa46f8098df290008c681816c9eb89ffbdb, we now have
a framework for suppressing the public complete-type definition of FILE
when stdio.h is included internally, so that a different internal
definition can be provided. this is perfectly well-defined, since the
same struct tag can refer to different types in different translation
units. it would be a problem if the implementation were accessing the
application's FILE objects or vice versa, but either would be
undefined behavior.

historically, and likely accidentally, sigaltstack was specified to
fail with EINVAL if any flag bit other than SS_DISABLE was set. the
resolution of Austin Group issue 1187 fixes this so that the
requirement is only to fail for SS_ONSTACK (which cannot be set) or
"invalid" flags.
Linux fails on the kernel side for invalid flags, but historically
accepts SS_ONSTACK as a no-op, so it needs to be rejected in userspace
still.
with this change, the Linux-specific SS_AUTODISARM, provided since
commit 9680e1d03a794b0e0d5815c749478228ed40a36d but unusable due to
rejection at runtime, is now usable.

the motivation for this change is twofold. first, it gets the fallback
logic out of the dynamic linker, improving code readability and
organization. second, it provides application code that wants to use
the membarrier syscall, which depends on preregistration of intent
before the process becomes multithreaded unless unbounded latency is
acceptable, with a symbol that, when linked, ensures that this
registration happens.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
this is a prerequisite for factoring the membarrier fallback code into
a function that can be called from a context with the thread list
already locked or independently.

addressing &out[k].sa was arguably undefined, despite &out[k] being
defined the slot one past the end of an array, since the member access
.sa is intervening between the [] operator and the & operator.

the backindex stored by getaddrinfo to allow freeaddrinfo to perform
partial-free wrongly used the address result index, rather than the
output slot index, and thus was only valid when they were equal
(nservs==1).

previously, dynamic loading of new libraries with thread-local storage
allocated the storage needed for all existing threads at load-time,
precluding late failure that can't be handled, but left installation
in existing threads to take place lazily on first access. this imposed
an additional memory access and branch on every dynamic tls access,
and imposed a requirement, which was not actually met, that the
dynamic tlsdesc asm functions preserve all call-clobbered registers
before calling C code to to install new dynamic tls on first access.
the x86[_64] versions of this code wrongly omitted saving and
restoring of fpu/vector registers, assuming the compiler would not
generate anything using them in the called C code. the arm and aarch64
versions saved known existing registers, but failed to be future-proof
against expansion of the register file.
now that we track live threads in a list, it's possible to install the
new dynamic tls for each thread at dlopen time. for the most part,
synchronization is not needed, because if a thread has not
synchronized with completion of the dlopen, there is no way it can
meaningfully request access to a slot past the end of the old dtv,
which remains valid for accessing slots which already existed.
however, it is necessary to ensure that, if a thread sees its new dtv
pointer, it sees correct pointers in each of the slots that existed
prior to the dlopen. my understanding is that, on most real-world
coherency architectures including all the ones we presently support, a
built-in consume order guarantees this; however, don't rely on that.
instead, the SYS_membarrier syscall is used to ensure that all threads
see the stores to the slots of their new dtv prior to the installation
of the new dtv. if it is not supported, the same is implemented in
userspace via signals, using the same mechanism as __synccall.
the __tls_get_addr function, variants, and dynamic tlsdesc asm
functions are all updated to remove the fallback paths for claiming
new dynamic tls, and are now all branch-free.

access to clear the entry in each thread's tsd array for the key being
deleted was not synchronized with __pthread_tsd_run_dtors. I probably
made this mistake from a mistaken belief that the thread list lock was
held during the latter, which of course is not possible since it
executes application code in a still-live-thread context.
while we're at it, expand the interval during which signals are
blocked to cover taking the write lock on key_lock, so that a signal
at an inopportune time doesn't block forward progress of readers.

commit 84d061d5a31c9c773e29e1e2b1ffe8cb9557bc58 inadvertently

with the availability of the thread list, there is no need to mark tsd
key slots dirty and clean them up only when a free slot can't be
found. instead, directly iterate threads and clear any value
associated with the key being deleted.
no synchronization is necessary for the clearing, since there is no
way the slot can be accessed without having synchronized with the
creation of a new key occupying the same slot, which is already
sequenced after and synchronized with the deletion of the old key.

the __synccall mechanism provides stop-the-world synchronous execution
of a callback in all threads of the process. it is used to implement
multi-threaded setuid/setgid operations, since Linux lacks them at the
kernel level, and for some other less-critical purposes.
this change eliminates dependency on /proc/self/task to determine the
set of live threads, which in addition to being an unwanted dependency
and a potential point of resource-exhaustion failure, turned out to be
inaccurate. test cases provided by Alexey Izbyshev showed that it
could fail to reflect newly created threads. due to how the
presignaling phase worked, this usually yielded a deadlock if hit, but
in the worst case it could also result in threads being silently
missed (allowed to continue running without executing the callback).

the hard problem here is unlinking threads from a list when they exit
without creating a window of inconsistency where the kernel task for a
thread still exists and is still executing instructions in userspace,
but is not reflected in the list. the magic solution here is getting
rid of per-thread exit futex addresses (set_tid_address), and instead
using the exit futex to unlock the global thread list.
since pthread_join can no longer see the thread enter a detach_state
of EXITED (which depended on the exit futex address pointing to the
detach_state), it must now observe the unlocking of the thread list
lock before it can unmap the joined thread and return. it doesn't
actually have to take the lock. for this, a __tl_sync primitive is
offered, with a signature that will allow it to be enhanced for quick
return even under contention on the lock, if needed. for now, the
exiting thread always performs a futex wake on its detach_state. a
future change could optimize this out except when there is already a
joiner waiting.
initial/dynamic variants of detached state no longer need to be
tracked separately, since the futex address is always set to the
global list lock, not a thread-local address that could become invalid
on detached thread exit. all detached threads, however, must perform a
second sigprocmask syscall to block implementation-internal signals,
since locking the thread list with them already blocked is not
permissible.
the arch-independent C version of __unmapself no longer needs to take
a lock or setup its own futex address to release the lock, since it
must necessarily be called with the thread list lock already held,
guaranteeing exclusive access to the temporary stack.
changes to libc.threads_minus_1 no longer need to be atomic, since
they are guarded by the thread list lock. it is largely vestigial at
this point, and can be replaced with a cheaper boolean indicating
whether the process is multithreaded at some point in the future.

whether signals need to be blocked at thread start, and whether
unblocking is necessary in the entry point function, has historically
depended on intricacies of the cancellation design and on whether
there are scheduling operations to perform on the new thread before
its successful creation can be committed. future changes to track an
AS-safe list of live threads will require signals to be blocked
whenever changes are made to the list, so ...
prior to commits b8742f32602add243ee2ce74d804015463726899 and
40bae2d32fd6f3ffea437fa745ad38a1fe77b27e, a signal mask for the entry
function to restore was part of the pthread structure. it was removed
to trim down the size of the structure, which both saved a small
amount of stack space and improved code generation on archs where
small immediate displacements are less costly than arbitrary ones, by
limiting the range of offsets between the base of the thread
structure, its members, and the thread pointer. these commits moved
the saved mask to a special structure used only when special
scheduling was needed, in which case the pthread_create caller and new
thread had to synchronize with each other and could use this memory to
pass a mask.
this commit partially reverts the above two commits, but instead of
putting the mask back in the pthread structure, it moves all "start
argument" members out of the pthread structure, trimming it down
further, and puts them in a separate structure passed on the new
thread's stack. the code path for explicit scheduling of the new
thread is also changed to synchronize with the calling thread in such
a way to avoid spurious futex wakes.
|
|
|
|
|
|

this eliminates some ugly hacks that were repurposing the start
function and start argument fields in the pthread structure for timer
use, and the need to longjmp out of a signal handler.

__dl_thread_cleanup is called from the context of an exiting thread
that is not in a consistent state valid for calling application code.
since commit c9f415d7ea2dace5bf77f6518b6afc36bb7a5732, it's possible
(and supported usage) for the allocator to have been replaced by the
application, so __dl_thread_cleanup can no longer call free. instead,
reuse the message buffer as a linked-list pointer, and queue it to be
freed the next time any dynamic linker error message is generated.

the way gets was implemented in terms of fgets, it used the location
of the null termination to determine where to find and remove the
newline, if any. an embedded null byte prevented this from working.
this also fixes a one-byte buffer overflow, whereby when gets read an
N-byte line (not counting newline), it would store two null
terminators for a total of N+2 bytes. it's unlikely that anyone would
care that a function whose use is pretty much inherently a buffer
overflow writes too much, but it could break the only possible correct
uses of this function, in conjunction with input of known format from
a trusted/same-privilege-domain source, where the buffer length may
have been selected to exactly match a line length contract.
there seems to be no correct way to implement gets in terms of a
single call to fgets or scanf, and using multiple calls would require
explicit locking, so we might as well just write the logic out
explicitly character-at-a-time. this isn't fast, but nobody cares if a
catastrophically unsafe function that's so bad it was removed from the
C language is fast.

in order to implement ENOTRECOVERABLE, the implementation has
traditionally used a bit of the mutex type field to indicate that it's
recovered after EOWNERDEAD and will go into ENOTRECOVERABLE state if
pthread_mutex_consistent is not called before unlocking. while it's
only the thread that holds the lock that needs access to this
information (except possibly for the sake of pthread_mutex_consistent
choosing between EINVAL and EPERM for erroneous calls), the change to
the type field is formally a data race with all other threads that
perform any operation on the mutex. no individual bits race, and no
write races are possible, so things are "okay" in some sense, but it's
still not good.
this patch moves the recovery/consistency state to the mutex
owner/lock field which is rightfully mutable. bit 30, the same bit the
kernel uses with a zero owner to indicate that the previous owner died
holding the lock, is now used with a nonzero owner to indicate that
the mutex is held but has not yet been marked consistent. note that
the kernel ABI also reserves bit 29 not to appear in any tid, so the
sentinel value we use for ENOTRECOVERABLE, 0x7fffffff, does not clash
with any tid plus bit 30.

fdopendir is specified to fail with EBADF if the file descriptor
passed is not open for reading. while O_PATH is an extension and
arguably exempt from this requirement, it's used, albeit incompletely,
to implement O_SEARCH, and fdopendir should fail when passed an
O_SEARCH file descriptor.
the new check is performed after fstat so that we don't have to
consider the possibility that the fd is invalid.
an alternate solution would be attempting to pre-fill the buffer using
getdents, which would fail with EBADF for us, but that seems more
complex and error-prone and involves either code duplication or
refactoring, so the simple fix with an additional inexpensive syscall
is what I've made for now.

Some packages call gettext to format a message to be sent to perror.
If the currently set user locale points to a non-existent .mo file,
open via __map_file in dcngettext will set errno to ENOENT.
Maintainer's notes: Non-modification of errno is a documented part of
the interface contract for the GNU version of this function and likely
other versions. The issue being fixed here seems to be a regression
from commit 1b52863e244ecee5b5935b6d36bb9e6efe84c035, which enabled
setting of errno from __map_file.

commit a6054e3c94aa0491d7366e4b05ae0d73f661bfe2 removed the argument,
making it a constraint violation to pass one. caught by cparser/firm;
other compilers seem to ignore it.

commit 84d061d5a31c9c773e29e1e2b1ffe8cb9557bc58 attempted to do this
already, but omitted from pthread_key_create.c the weak definition of
__pthread_key_delete_synccall, so that the definition provided by
pthread_key_delete.c was always pulled in.
based on patch by Markus Wichmann, but with a weak alias rather than
weak reference for consistency/policy about dependence on tooling
features.

fallback to /etc/shadow should happen only when the entry is not found
in the TCB shadow. otherwise transient errors or permission errors can
cause inconsistent results.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
this case is specified as success with a null result, rather than an
error, and errno is not to be set on success.

this reverts commit c0ed5a201b2bdb6d1896064bec0020c9973db0a1, which
was based on a mistaken reading of POSIX due to inconsistency between
the description (which requires return upon interruption by a signal)
and the errors list (which wrongly lists EINTR as "may fail").
since the previously-introduced behavior was a workaround for an old
kernel bug to ensure safety of correct programs that were not hardened
against the bug, an effort has been made to preserve it for programs
which do not use interrupting signal handlers. the stage for this was
set in commit a63c0104e496f7ba78b64be3cd299b41e8cd427f, which makes
the futex __timedwait backend suppress EINTR if it's seen when no
interrupting signal handlers have been installed.
based loosely on a patch submitted by Orivej Desh, but with
unnecessary additional changes removed.

the resolution of Austin Group issue #1132 changes the requirement to
fail so that it only applies when the set argument (new mask) is
non-null. this change was made for consistency with the description,
which specified "if set is a null pointer, the value of the argument
how is not significant".

prior to linux 2.6.22, futex wait could fail with EINTR even for
non-interrupting (SA_RESTART) signals. this was no problem provided
the caller simply restarted the wait, but sem_[timed]wait is required
by POSIX to return when interrupted by a signal. commit
a113434cd68ce30642c4995b1caadcd084be6f09 introduced this behavior, and
commit c0ed5a201b2bdb6d1896064bec0020c9973db0a1 reverted it based on a
mistaken belief that it was not required. this belief stems from a bug
in the specification: the description requires the function to return
when interrupted, but the errors section marks EINTR as a "may fail"
condition rather than a "shall fail" one.
since there does seem to be significant value in the change made in
commit c0ed5a201b2bdb6d1896064bec0020c9973db0a1, making it so that
programs that call sem_wait without checking for EINTR don't silently
make forward progress without obtaining the semaphore or treat it as a
fatal error and abort, add a behind-the-scenes mechanism in the
__timedwait backend to suppress EINTR in programs that have never
installed interrupting signal handlers, and have sigaction track and
report this state. this way the semaphore code is not cluttered by
workarounds and can be updated (to be done in next commit) to reflect
the high-level logic for conforming behavior.
these changes are based loosely on a patch by Markus Wichmann, with
the main changes being atomic update to flag object and moving the
workaround from sem_timedwait to the __timedwait futex backend.

it's not clear whether this is required, but it seems arguable that it
should happen. for example aio_suspend is supposed to return
immediately if any of the operations has "completed", which includes
ending with an error status asynchonously and might also be
interpreted to include doing so synchronously.

the map structures in particular are permanent once created, and thus
a large number of aio function calls with invalid file descriptors
could exhaust memory, whereas, assuming normal resource limits, only a
very small number of entries ever need to be allocated. check validity
of the fd before allocating anything new, so that allocation of large
amounts of memory is only possible when resource limits have been
increased and a large number of files are actually open.
this change also improves error reporting for bad file descriptors to
happen at the time the aio submission call is made, as opposed to
asynchronously.

since commit c9f415d7ea2dace5bf77f6518b6afc36bb7a5732, it has been
possible that the allocator is application-provided code, which cannot
necessarily run safely on io thread stacks, and which should not be
able to see the existence of io threads, since they are an
implementation detail.
instead of having the io thread request and possibly allocate its
queue (and the map structures leading to it), make the submitting
thread responsible for this, and pass the queue pointer into the io
thread via its args structure. this eliminates the only early error
case in io threads, making it no longer necessary to pass an error
status back to the submitting thread via the args structure.

aio threads not using SIGEV_THREAD notification are created with small
stacks and no guard page, which is possible since they only run the
code for the requested io operation, not any application code. the
motivation is not creating a lot of VMAs. however, the io thread needs
to be able to receive a cancellation signal in case aio_cancel
(implemented via pthread_cancel) is called. this requires sufficient
stack space for a signal frame, which PTHREAD_STACK_MIN does not
necessarily include.
in principle MINSIGSTKSZ from signal.h should give us sufficient space
for a signal frame, but the value is incorrect on some existing archs
due to kernel addition of new vector register support without
consideration for impact on ABI. some powerpc models exceed
MINSIGSTKSZ by about 0.5k, and x86[_64] with AVX-512 can exceed it by
up to about 1.5k. so use MINSIGSTKSZ+2048 to allow for the discrepancy
plus some working space.
unfortunately, it's possible that signal frame sizes could continue to
grow, and some archs (aarch64) explicitly specify that they may.
passing of a runtime value for MINSIGSTKSZ via AT_MINSIGSTKSZ in the
aux vector was added to aarch64 linux, and presumably other archs will
use this mechanism to report if they further increase the signal frame
size. when AT_MINSIGSTKSZ is present, assume it's correct, so that we
only need a small amount of working space in addition to it; in this
case just add 512.
