Several previous changes conspired to make a mess of the thread list
in static binaries. This was most obvious when trying to call
pthread_key_delete(3) on the main thread.

Save thread id to *thread_out before new
thread is allowed to run else there's a
risk that the thread has finished and
been deleted when *thread_out is assigned.

A call to pthread_key_delete() after pthread_exit() have unmapped the stack of a thread
but before the ongoing pthread_join() have finished executing will result in an access
to unmapped memory.
Avoid this by invalidating the stack_base and tls pointers during pthread_exit().
This is based on the investigation and proprosed solution by

The creation of a thread succeeds even if the requested scheduling
parameters can not be set. This is not POSIX compliant, and even
worse, it leads to a wrong behavior. Let pthread_create() fail in this
case.

Since e19d702b8e, dlsym and friends use recursive mutexes that
require the current thread id, which is not available before the libc
constructor. This prevents us from using dlsym() in .preinit_array.
This change moves TLS initialization from libc constructor to the earliest
possible point - immediately after linker itself is relocated. As a result,
pthread_internal_t for the initial thread is available from the start.
As a bonus, values stored in TLS in .preinit_array are not lost when libc is
initialized.

Root cause:
The atfork uses the mutex handler_mutex to protect the atfork_head. The
parent will call __bionic_atfork_run_prepare() to lock the handler_mutex,
and need both the parent and child to unlock their own copy of handler_mutex
after fork. At that time, the owner of hanlder_mutex is set as the parent.
If we apply the kernel_id fix, then the child's kernel_id will be set as
child's tid.
The handler_mutex is a recursive lock, and pthread_mutex_unlock(&hander_mutex)
will fail because the mutex owner is the parent, while the current tid
(__get_thread()->kernel_id) is child, not matched with the mutex owner.
At that time, the handler_mutex is left in lock state.If the child wants to
fork other process after than, then it will try to lock handler_mutex, and
then be deadlocked.
Fix:
Since the child has its own copy of vm space from the the parent, the
child space's handler_mutex should be reset to the initialized state.

After forking, the kernel_id field in the phtread_internal_t returned by pthread_self()
is incorrect --- it's the tid from the parent, not the new tid of the
child.
The root cause is that: currently the kernel_id is set by
_init_thread(), which is called in 2 cases:
(1) called by __libc_init_common(). That happens when the execv( ) is
called after fork( ). But when the zygote tries to fork the android
application, the child application doesn't call execv( ), instread, it
tries to call the Java main method directly.
(2) called by pthread_create(). That happens when a new thread is
created.
For the lead thread which is the thread created by fork(), it should
call execv() but it doesn't, as described in (1) above. So its kernel_id
will inherit the parent's kernel_id.
Fixed it in this patch.

This optimization improves the performance of recursive locks
drastically. When running the thread_stress program on a Xoom,
the total time to perform all operations goes from 1500 ms to
500 ms on average after this change is pushed to the device.

This fixes a bug that was introduced in the latest pthread optimization.
It happens when a recursive lock is contented by several threads. The main
issue was that the atomic counter increment in _recursive_increment() could
be annihilated by a non-conditional write in pthread_mutex_lock() used to
update the value's lower bits to indicate contention.
This patch re-introduces the use of the global recursive lock in
_recursive_increment(). This will hit performance, but a future patch
will be provided to remove it from the source code.

This patch provides several small optimizations to the
implementation of mutex locking and unlocking. Note that
a following patch will get rid of the global recursion
lock, and provide a few more aggressive changes, I
though it'd be simpler to split this change in two parts.
+ New behaviour: pthread_mutex_lock et al now detect
recursive mutex overflows and will return EAGAIN in
this case, as suggested by POSIX. Before, the counter
would just wrap to 0.
- Remove un-necessary reloads of the mutex value from memory
by storing it in a local variable (mvalue)
- Remove un-necessary reload of the mutex value by passing
the 'shared' local variable to _normal_lock / _normal_unlock
- Remove un-necessary reload of the mutex value by using a
new macro (MUTEX_VALUE_OWNER()) to compare the thread id
for recursive/errorcheck mutexes
- Use a common inlined function to increment the counter
of a recursive mutex. Also do not use the global
recursion lock in this case to speed it up.

This patch changes the implementation of pthread_once()
to avoid the use of a single global recursive mutex. This
should also slightly speed up the non-common case where
we have to call the init function, or wait for another
thread to finish the call.

(1) in pthread_create:
If the one signal is received before esp is subtracted by 16 and
__thread_entry( ) is called, the stack will be cleared by kernel
when it tries to contruct the signal stack frame. That will cause
that __thread_entry will get a wrong tls pointer from the stack
which leads to the segment fault when trying to access tls content.
(2) in pthread_exit
After pthread_exit called system call unmap(), its stack will be
freed. If one signal is received at that time, there is no stack
available for it.
Fixed by subtracting the child's esp by 16 before the clone system
call and by blocking signal handling before pthread_exit is started.

Use tgkill instead of tkill to implement pthread_kill.
This is safer in the event that the thread has already terminated
and its id has been reused by a different process.

We're going to modify the __atomic_xxx implementation to provide
full memory barriers, to avoid problems for NDK machine code that
link to these functions.
First step is to remove their usage from our platform code.
We now use inlined versions of the same functions for a slight
performance boost.
+ remove obsolete atomics_x86.c (was never compiled)
NOTE: This improvement was benchmarked on various devices.
Comparing a pthread mutex lock + atomic increment + unlock
we get:
- ARMv7 emulator, running on a 2.4 GHz Xeon:
before: 396 ns after: 288 ns
- x86 emulator in KVM mode on same machine:
before: 27 ns after: 27 ns
- Google Nexus S, in ARMv7 mode (single-core):
before: 82 ns after: 76 ns
- Motorola Xoom, in ARMv7 mode (multi-core):
before: 121 ns after: 120 ns
The code has also been rebuilt in ARMv5TE mode for correctness.

The old code didn't work because the kernel expects a 64-bit sigset_t
while the one provided by our ABI is only 32-bit. This is originally
due to the fact that the kernel headers themselves define sigset_t
as a 32-bit type when __KERNEL__ is not defined (apparently to cater
to libc5 or some similarly old C library).
We can't modify the size of sigset_t without breaking the NDK ABI,
so instead perform runtime translation during the call.
Change-Id: Ibfdc3cbceaff864af7a05ca193aa050047b4773f
After this change, SIGRTMAX will be set to 64 (instead of 32 currently).
Note that this doesn't change the fact that our sigset_t is still defined
as a 32-bit unsigned integer, so most functions that deal with this type
won't support real-time signals though.

The implementation was using a double-checked locking approach that
could break on SMP.
In addition to the barriers I also switched to a volatile pointer. I
don't think this will matter unless gcc can conclude that _normal_lock
can't affect *once_control, but I figured it was better to be safe.
(It seems to have no impact whatsoever on the generated code.)
