commit d26e0774a59bb7245b205bc8e7d8b35cc2037095 moved the detach state
transition at exit before the thread list lock was taken. this
inadvertently allowed pthread_join to race to take the thread list
lock first, and proceed with unmapping of the exiting thread's memory.
we could fix this by just revering the offending commit and instead
performing __vm_wait unconditionally before taking the thread list
lock, but that may be costly. instead, bring back the old DT_EXITING
vs DT_EXITED state distinction that was removed in commit
8f11e6127fe93093f81a52b15bb1537edc3fc8af, and don't transition to
DT_EXITED (a value of 0, which is what pthread_join waits for) until
after the lock has been taken.
|
|
the __vm_wait operation can delay forward progress arbitrarily long if
a thread holding the lock is interrupted by a signal. in a worst case
this can deadlock. any critical section holding the thread list lock
must respect lock ordering contracts and must not take any lock which
is not AS-safe.
to fix, move the determination of thread joinable/detached state to
take place before the killlock and thread list lock are taken. this
requires reverting the atomic state transition if we determine that
the exiting thread is the last thread and must call exit, but that's
easy to do since it's a single-threaded context with application
signals blocked.
|
|
dtv_copy, canary2, and canary_at_end existed solely to match multiple
ABI and asm-accessed layouts simultaneously. now that pthread_arch.h
can be included before struct __pthread is defined, the struct layout
can depend on macros defined by pthread_arch.h.
|
|
pthread_kill is required to be AS-safe. that requirement can't be met
if the target thread's killlock can be taken in contexts where
application-installed signal handlers can run.
block signals around use of this lock in all pthread_* functions which
target a tid, and reorder blocking/unblocking of signals in
pthread_exit so that they're blocked whenever the killlock is held.
|
|
the design used here relies on the barrier provided by the first lock
operation after the process returns to single-threaded state to
synchronize with actions by the last thread that exited. by storing
the intent to change modes in the same object used to detect whether
locking is needed, it's possible to avoid an extra (possibly costly)
memory load after the lock is taken.
|
|
since the backend for LOCK() skips locking if single-threaded, it's
unsafe to make the process appear single-threaded before the last use
of lock.
this fixes potential unsynchronized access to a linked list via
__dl_thread_cleanup.

commit 8a544ee3a2a75af278145b09531177cab4939b41 introduced a
dependency of the failure path for explicit scheduling at thread
creation on __clone's handling of the start function returning, which
should result in SYS_exit.
as noted in commit 05870abeaac0588fb9115cfd11f96880a0af2108, the arm
version of __clone was broken in this case. in the past, the mips
version was also broken; it was fixed in commit
8b2b61e0001281be0dcd3dedc899bf187172fecb.
since this code path is pretty much entirely untested (previously only
reachable in applications that call the public clone() and return from
the start function) and consists of fragile per-arch asm, don't assume
it works, at least not until it's been thoroughly tested. instead make
the SYS_exit syscall from the start function's failure path.
|
|
previously, when pthread_create failed due to inability to set
explicit scheduling according to the requested attributes, the nascent
thread was detached and made responsible for its own cleanup via the
standard pthread_exit code path. this left it consuming resources
potentially well after pthread_create returned, in a way that the
application could not see or mitigate, and unnecessarily exposed its
existence to the rest of the implementation via the global thread
list.
instead, attempt explicit scheduling early and reuse the failure path
for __clone failure if it fails. the nascent thread's exit futex is
not needed for unlocking the thread list, since the thread calling
pthread_create holds the thread list lock the whole time, so it can be
repurposed to ensure the thread has finished exiting. no pthread_exit
is needed, and freeing the stack, if needed, can happen just as it
would if __clone failed.
|
|
if setting scheduling properties succeeds, the new thread may end up
with lower priority than the caller, and may be unable to continue
running due to another intermediate-priority thread. this produces a
priority inversion situation for the thread calling pthread_create,
since it cannot return until the new thread reports success.
originally, the parent was responsible for setting the new thread's
priority; commits b8742f32602add243ee2ce74d804015463726899 and
40bae2d32fd6f3ffea437fa745ad38a1fe77b27e changed it as part of
trimming down the pthread structure. since then, commit
04335d9260c076cf4d9264bd93dd3b06c237a639 partly reversed the changes,
but did not switch responsibilities back. do that now.

commit 8f11e6127fe93093f81a52b15bb1537edc3fc8af wrongly documented
that all changes to libc.threads_minus_1 were guarded by the thread
list lock, but the decrement for failed SYS_clone took place after the
thread list lock was released.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
these are now declared in pthread_impl.h.
|
|
this further reduces the number of source files which need to include
libc.h and thereby be potentially exposed to libc global state and
internals.
this will also facilitate further improvements like adding an inline
fast-path, if we want to do so later.
|
|
commits leading up to this one have moved the vast majority of
libc-internal interface declarations to appropriate internal headers,
allowing them to be type-checked and setting the stage to limit their
visibility. the ones that have not yet been moved are mostly
namespace-protected aliases for standard/public interfaces, which
exist to facilitate implementing plain C functions in terms of POSIX
functionality, or C or POSIX functionality in terms of extensions that
are not standardized. some don't quite fit this description, but are
"internally public" interfacs between subsystems of libc.
rather than create a number of newly-named headers to declare these
functions, and having to add explicit include directives for them to
every source file where they're needed, I have introduced a method of
wrapping the corresponding public headers.
parallel to the public headers in $(srcdir)/include, we now have
wrappers in $(srcdir)/src/include that come earlier in the include
path order. they include the public header they're wrapping, then add
declarations for namespace-protected versions of the same interfaces
and any "internally public" interfaces for the subsystem they
correspond to.
along these lines, the wrapper for features.h is now responsible for
the definition of the hidden, weak, and weak_alias macros. this means
source files will no longer need to include any special headers to
access these features.
over time, it is my expectation that the scope of what is "internally
public" will expand, reducing the number of source files which need to
include *_impl.h and related headers down to those which are actually
implementing the corresponding subsystems, not just using them.
|
|
it's already included in all places where these are needed, and aside
from __tls_get_addr, they're all implementation internals.
|
|
due to moved code, commit b8742f32602add243ee2ce74d804015463726899
inadvertently used the return value of __clone, rather than the return
value of SYS_sched_setscheduler in the new thread, to check whether it
needed to report failure. since a successful __clone returns the tid
of the new thread, which is never zero, this caused pthread_create
always to return with an invalid error number in the code path for
PTHREAD_EXPLICIT_SCHED.
this regression was not present in any releases.
|
|
this fixes a major gap in the intended functionality of
pthread_setattr_default_np. if application/library code creating a
thread does not pass a null attribute pointer to pthread_create, but
sets up an attribute object to change other properties while leaving
the stack alone, the created thread will get a stack with size
DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE. this makes pthread_setattr_default_np useless for
working around stack overflow issues in such applications, and leaves
a major risk of regression if previously-working code switches from
using a null attribute pointer to an attribute object.
this change aligns the behavior more closely with the glibc
pthread_setattr_default_np functionality too, albeit via a different
mechanism. glibc encodes "default" specially in the attribute object
and reads the actual default at thread creation time. with this
commit, we now copy the current default into the attribute object at
pthread_attr_init time, so that applications that query the properties
of the attribute object will see the right values.
|
|
the wrapper start function that performs scheduling operations is
unreachable if pthread_attr_setinheritsched is never called, so move
it there rather than the pthread_create source file, saving some code
size for static-linked programs.
|
|
eliminate the awkward startlock mechanism and corresponding fields of
the pthread structure that were only used at startup.
instead of having pthread_create perform the scheduling operations and
having the new thread wait for them to be completed, start the new
thread with a wrapper start function that performs its own scheduling,
sending the result code back via a futex. this way the new thread can
use storage from the calling thread's stack rather than permanent
fields in the pthread structure.
|
|
previously, some accesses to the detached state (from pthread_join and
pthread_getattr_np) were unsynchronized; they were harmless in
programs with well-defined behavior, but ugly. other accesses (in
pthread_exit and pthread_detach) were synchronized by a poorly named
"exitlock", with an ad-hoc trylock operation on it open-coded in
pthread_detach, whose only purpose was establishing protocol for which
thread is responsible for deallocation of detached-thread resources.
instead, use an atomic detach_state and unify it with the futex used
to wait for thread exit. this eliminates 2 members from the pthread
structure, gets rid of the hackish lock usage, and makes rigorous the
trap added in commit 80bf5952551c002cf12d96deb145629765272db0 for
catching attempts to join detached threads. it should also make
attempt to detach an already-detached thread reliably trap.
|
|
if the last thread exited via pthread_exit, the logic that marked it
dead did not account for the possibility of it targeting itself via
atexit handlers. for example, an atexit handler calling
pthread_kill(pthread_self(), SIGKILL) would return success
(previously, ESRCH) rather than causing termination via the signal.
move the release of killlock after the determination is made whether
the exiting thread is the last thread. in the case where it's not,
move the release all the way to the end of the function. this way we
can clear the tid rather than spending storage on a dedicated
dead-flag. clearing the tid is also preferable in that it hardens
against inadvertent use of the value after the thread has terminated
but before it is joined.
|
|
the tid field in the pthread structure is not volatile, and really
shouldn't be, so as not to limit the compiler's ability to reorder,
merge, or split loads in code paths that may be relevant to
performance (like controlling lock ownership).
however, use of objects which are not volatile or atomic with futex
wait is inherently broken, since the compiler is free to transform a
single load into multiple loads, thereby using a different value for
the controlling expression of the loop and the value passed to the
futex syscall, leading the syscall to block instead of returning.
reportedly glibc's pthread_join was actually affected by an equivalent
issue in glibc on s390.
add a separate, dedicated join_futex object for pthread_join to use.
|
|
|
|
In some places there has been a direct usage of the functions. Use the
macros consistently everywhere, such that it might be easier later on to
capture the fast path directly inside the macro and only have the call
overhead on the slow path.
|
|
if the parent thread was able to set the new thread's priority before
it reached the check for 'startlock', the new thread failed to restore
its signal mask and thus ran with all signals blocked.
concept for patch by Sergei, who reported the issue; unnecessary
changes were removed and comments added since the whole 'startlock'
thing is non-idiomatic and confusing. eventually it should be replaced
with use of idiomatic synchronization primitives.
|
|
based on patch by Timo Teräs:
While generally this is a bad API, it is the only existing API to
affect c++ (std::thread) and c11 (thrd_create) thread stack size.
This patch allows applications only to increate stack and guard
page sizes.
|
|
commit 33ce920857405d4f4b342c85b74588a15e2702e5 broke pthread_create
in the case where a null attribute pointer is passed; rather than
using the default sizes, sizes of 0 (plus the remainder of one page
after TLS/TCB use) were used.
|
|
previously, the pthread_attr_t object was always initialized all-zero,
and stack/guard size were represented as differences versus their
defaults. this required lots of confusing offset arithmetic everywhere
they were used. instead, have pthread_attr_init fill in the default
values, and work with absolute sizes everywhere.

Linux's documentation (robust-futex-ABI.txt) claims that, when a
process dies with a futex on the robust list, bit 30 (0x40000000) is
set to indicate the status. however, what actually happens is that
bits 0-30 are replaced with the value 0x40000000, i.e. bits 0-29
(containing the old owner tid) are cleared at the same time bit 30 is
set.
our userspace-side code for robust mutexes was written based on that
documentation, assuming that kernel would never produce a futex value
of 0x40000000, since the low (owner) bits would always be non-zero.
commit d338b506e39b1e2c68366b12be90704c635602ce introduced this
assumption explicitly while fixing another bug in how non-recoverable
status for robust mutexes was tracked. presumably the tests conducted
at that time only checked non-process-shared robust mutexes, which are
handled in pthread_exit (which implemented the documented kernel
protocol, not the actual one) rather than by the kernel.
change pthread_exit robust list processing to match the kernel
behavior, clearing bits 0-29 while setting bit 30, and use the value
0x7fffffff instead of 0x40000000 to encode non-recoverable status. the
choice of value here is arbitrary; any value with at least one of bits
0-29 set should work just as well,
|
|
this error simply indicated a system without memory protection (NOMMU)
and should not cause failure in the caller.

functions which open in-memory FILE stream variants all shared a tail
with __fdopen, adding the FILE structure to stdio's open file list.
replacing this common tail with a function call reduces code size and
duplication of logic. the list is also partially encapsulated now.
function signatures were chosen to facilitate tail call optimization
and reduce the need for additional accessor functions.
with these changes, static linked programs that do not use stdio no
longer have an open file list at all.
|
|
the code being removed used atomics to track whether any threads might
be using a locale other than the current global locale, and whether
any threads might have abstract 8-bit (non-UTF-8) LC_CTYPE active, a
feature which was never committed (still pending). the motivations
were to support early execution prior to setup of the thread pointer,
to partially support systems (ancient kernels) where thread pointer
setup is not possible, and to avoid high performance cost on archs
where accessing the thread pointer may be very slow.
since commit 19a1fe670acb3ab9ead0fe31859ca7d4fe40dd54, the thread
pointer is always available, so these hacks are no longer needed.
removing them greatly simplifies the affected code.
|
|
i386, x86_64, x32, and powerpc all use TLS for stack protector canary
values in the default stack protector ABI, but the location only
matched the ABI on i386 and x86_64. on x32, the expected location for
the canary contained the tid, thus producing spurious mismatches
(resulting in process termination) upon fork. on powerpc, the expected
location contained the stdio_locks list head, so returning from a
function after calling flockfile produced spurious mismatches. in both
cases, the random canary was not present, and a predictable value was
used instead, making the stack protector hardening much less effective
than it should be.
in the current fix, the thread structure has been expanded to have
canary fields at all three possible locations, and archs that use a
non-default location must define a macro in pthread_arch.h to choose
which location is used. for most archs (which lack TLS canary ABI) the
choice does not matter.

|
this fixes truncation of error messages containing long pathnames or
symbol names.
the dlerror state was previously required by POSIX to be global. the
resolution of bug 97 relaxed the requirements to allow thread-safe
implementations of dlerror with thread-local state and message buffer.

|
since 1.1.0, musl has nominally required a thread pointer to be setup.
most of the remaining code that was checking for its availability was
doing so for the sake of being usable by the dynamic linker. as of
commit 71f099cb7db821c51d8f39dfac622c61e54d794c, this is no longer
necessary; the thread pointer is now valid before any libc code
(outside of dynamic linker bootstrap functions) runs.
this commit essentially concludes "phase 3" of the "transition path
for removing lazy init of thread pointer" project that began during
the 1.1.0 release cycle.

this global lock allows certain unlock-type primitives to exclude
mmap/munmap operations which could change the identity of virtual
addresses while references to them still exist.
the original design mistakenly assumed mmap/munmap would conversely
need to exclude the same operations which exclude mmap/munmap, so the
vmlock was implemented as a sort of 'symmetric recursive rwlock'. this
turned out to be unnecessary.
commit 25d12fc0fc51f1fae0f85b4649a6463eb805aa8f already shortened the
interval during which mmap/munmap held their side of the lock, but
left the inappropriate lock design and some inefficiency.
the new design uses a separate function, __vm_wait, which does not
hold any lock itself and only waits for lock users which were already
present when it was called to release the lock. this is sufficient
because of the way operations that need to be excluded are sequenced:
the "unlock-type" operations using the vmlock need only block
mmap/munmap operations that are precipitated by (and thus sequenced
after) the atomic-unlock they perform while holding the vmlock.
this allows for a spectacular lack of synchronization in the __vm_wait
function itself.

|
as a result of commit 12e1e324683a1d381b7f15dd36c99b37dd44d940, kernel
processing of the robust list is only needed for process-shared
mutexes. previously the first attempt to lock any owner-tracked mutex
resulted in robust list initialization and a set_robust_list syscall.
this is no longer necessary, and since the kernel's record of the
robust list must now be cleared at thread exit time for detached
threads, optimizing it out is more worthwhile than before too.
|
|
the robust list head lies in the thread structure, which is unmapped
before exit for detached threads. this leaves the kernel unable to
process the exiting thread's robust list, and with a dangling pointer
which may happen to point to new unrelated data at the time the kernel
processes it.
userspace processing of the robust list was already needed for
non-pshared robust mutexes in order to perform private futex wakes
rather than the shared ones the kernel would do, but it was
conditional on linking pthread_mutexattr_setrobust and did not bother
processing the pshared mutexes in the list, which requires additional
logic for the robust list pending slot in case pthread_exit is
interrupted by asynchronous process termination.
the new robust list processing code is linked unconditionally (inlined
in pthread_exit), handles both private and shared mutexes, and also
removes the kernel's reference to the robust list before unmapping and
exit if the exiting thread is detached.

this requirement is tucked away in XSH 2.9.5 Thread Cancellation under
the heading Thread Cancellation Cleanup Handlers.

|
multi-threaded set*id and setrlimit use the internal __synccall
function to work around the kernel's wrongful treatment of these
process properties as thread-local. the old implementation of
__synccall failed to be AS-safe, despite POSIX requiring setuid and
setgid to be AS-safe, and was not rigorous in assuring that all
threads were caught. in a worst case, threads late in the process of
exiting could retain permissions after setuid reported success, in
which case attacks to regain dropped permissions may have been
possible under the right conditions.
the new implementation of __synccall depends on the presence of
/proc/self/task and will fail if it can't be opened, but is able to
determine that it has caught all threads, and does not use any locks
except its own. it thereby achieves AS-safety simply by blocking
signals to preclude re-entry in the same thread.
with this commit, all known conformance and safety issues in set*id
functions should be fixed.

based on patch by Jens Gustedt.
the main difficulty here is handling the difference between start
function signatures and thread return types for C11 threads versus
POSIX threads. pointers to void are assumed to be able to represent
faithfully all values of int. the function pointer for the thread
start function is cast to an incorrect type for passing through
pthread_create, but is cast back to its correct type before calling so
that the behavior of the call is well-defined.
changes to the existing threads implementation were kept minimal to
reduce the risk of regressions, and duplication of code that carries
implementation-specific assumptions was avoided for ease and safety of
future maintenance.

The intent of this is to avoid name space pollution of the C threads
implementation.
This has two sides to it. First we have to provide symbols that wouldn't
pollute the name space for the C threads implementation. Second we have
to clean up some internal uses of POSIX functions such that they don't
implicitly drag in such symbols.

this is analogous commit fffc5cda10e0c5c910b40f7be0d4fa4e15bb3f48
which fixed the corresponding issue for mutexes.
the robust list can't be used here because the locks do not share a
common layout with mutexes. at some point it may make sense to simply
incorporate a mutex object into the FILE structure and use it, but
that would be a much more invasive change, and it doesn't mesh well
with the current design that uses a simpler code path for internal
locking and pulls in the recursive-mutex-like code when the flockfile
API is used explicitly.
