-Subject: [PATCH 10/10] make posix_spawn (and functions that use it) use
- CLONE_VFORK flag
-
-this is both a minor scheduling optimization and a workaround for a
-difficult-to-fix bug in qemu app-level emulation.
-
-from the scheduling standpoint, it makes no sense to schedule the
-parent thread again until the child has exec'd or exited, since the
-parent will immediately block again waiting for it.
-
-on the qemu side, as regular application code running on an underlying
-libc, qemu cannot make arbitrary clone syscalls itself without
-confusing the underlying implementation. instead, it breaks them down
-into either fork-like or pthread_create-like cases. it was treating
-the code in posix_spawn as pthread_create-like, due to CLONE_VM, which
-caused horribly wrong behavior: CLONE_FILES broke the synchronization
-mechanism, CLONE_SIGHAND broke the parent's signals, and CLONE_THREAD
-caused the child's exec to end the parent -- if it hadn't already
-crashed. however, qemu special-cases CLONE_VFORK and emulates that
-with fork, even when CLONE_VM is also specified. this also gives
-incorrect semantics for code that really needs the memory sharing, but
-posix_spawn does not make use of the vm sharing except to avoid
-momentary double commit charge.
-
-programs using posix_spawn (including via popen) should now work
-correctly under qemu app-level emulation.
