here are the my current TID-setting changes. It's now 3 clone flags:
- CLONE_PARENT_SETTID
race-free setting of the new TID/PID in the parent's address space.
This is done in do_fork(), before sys_fork() returns.
- CLONE_CHILD_SETTID
race-free setting of the new TID/PID in the child's address space.
this uses the ->user_tid field to delay setting of the TID when the
child context first runs. It's guaranteed to be set before the child's
first userspace instruction is executed, but has no specific ordering
with sys_clone() itself.
- CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID
exit() time notification, clearing of the TID and futex wakeup. It's
guaranteed to be done after the last instruction of a context is
executed.
i've extended sys_clone() with a new argument (in %esi), which is the
child_tidaddr pointer. %edx is now the parent_tidaddr.
