Rich Felker 12e1e32468 process robust list in pthread_exit to fix detached thread use-after-unmap
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.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
