This patch implements a new posix_spawn{p} implementation for Linux.  The main
difference is it uses the clone syscall directly with CLONE_VM and CLONE_VFORK
flags and a direct allocated stack.  The new stack and start function solves
most the vfork limitation (possible parent clobber due stack spilling).  The
remaning issue are related to signal handling:

  1. That no signal handlers must run in child context, to avoid corrupt
     parent's state.
  2. Child must synchronize with parent to enforce stack deallocation and
     to possible return execv issues.

The first one is solved by blocking all signals in child, even NPTL-internal
ones (SIGCANCEL and SIGSETXID).  The second issue is done by a stack allocation
in parent and a synchronization with using a pipe or waitpid (in case or error).
The pipe has the advantage of allowing the child signal an exec error (checked
with new tst-spawn2 test).

There is an inherent race condition in pipe2 usage for architectures that do not
support the syscall directly.  In such cases the a pipe plus fctnl is used
instead and it may lead to file descriptor leak in parent (as decribed by fcntl
documentation).

The child process stack is allocate with a mmap with MAP_STACK flag using
default architecture stack size.  Although it is slower than use a stack buffer
from parent, it allows some slack for the compatibility code to run scripts
with no shebang (which may use a buffer with size depending of argument list
count).

Performance should be similar to the vfork default posix implementation and
way faster than fork path (vfork on mostly linux ports are basically
clone with CLONE_VM plus CLONE_VFORK).  The only difference is the syscalls
required for the stack allocation/deallocation.

It fixes BZ#10354, BZ#14750, and BZ#18433.

Tested on i386, x86_64, powerpc64le, and aarch64.

I think the problem is glibc's vfork only changes the TCB's pid fields
while fork changes both pid and tid in case on CLONE_VM.  Now I am trying
to found out why exactly this difference handling of internal fields...

In fact I think clone.S should not reset the tid member in TCB for
fork(CLONE_VM|...) and it is what vfork does internally. It is 
used on INVALID_TD_P and INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P macros used on
pthread_join and pthread_cancel. A value equal to -1 will issue
an error for such case, which mean that if a multithread program
issues a clone(CLONE_VM|...) from a posix_spawn, a subsequent
pthread_join might fail due invalid tid value.

And I think it is what is happening in your system on tst-exec1:
although pthread_create is issue before posix_spawn, I think 
posix_spawn clone might be executing before the pthread_join
in some cases leading to this issue.

I will propose a patch to modify clone to not reset the tid value.

But I am not sure if we just should avoid touch any internal TCB
headers if CLONE_VFORK is set, thoughts?

Thanks for reporting, I opened BZ#20178.

I think it indeed make sense, although I would not bother on fixing it
now.  I will add on my backlog.
