The recursive lock used on abort does not synchronize with a new process
creation (either by fork-like interfaces or posix_spawn ones), nor it
is reinitialized after fork().
Also, the SIGABRT unblock before raise() shows another race condition,
where a fork or posix_spawn() call by another thread, just after the
recursive lock release and before the SIGABRT signal, might create
programs with a non-expected signal mask. With the default option
(without POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF), the process can see SIG_DFL for
SIGABRT, where it should be SIG_IGN.
To fix the AS-safe, raise() does not change the process signal mask,
and an AS-safe lock is used if a SIGABRT is installed or the process
is blocked or ignored. With the signal mask change removal,
there is no need to use a recursive loc. The lock is also taken on
both _Fork() and posix_spawn(), to avoid the spawn process to see the
abort handler as SIG_DFL.
A read-write lock is used to avoid serialize _Fork and posix_spawn
execution. Both sigaction (SIGABRT) and abort() requires to lock
as writer (since both change the disposition).
The fallback is also simplified: there is no need to use a loop of
ABORT_INSTRUCTION after _exit() (if the syscall does not terminate the
process, the system is broken).
The proposed fix changes how setjmp works on a SIGABRT handler, where
glibc does not save the signal mask. So usage like the below will now
always abort.
static volatile int chk_fail_ok;
static jmp_buf chk_fail_buf;
static void
handler (int sig)
{
if (chk_fail_ok)
{
chk_fail_ok = 0;
longjmp (chk_fail_buf, 1);
}
else
_exit (127);
}
[...]
signal (SIGABRT, handler);
[....]
chk_fail_ok = 1;
if (! setjmp (chk_fail_buf))
{
// Something that can calls abort, like a failed fortify function.
chk_fail_ok = 0;
printf ("FAIL\n");
}
Such cases will need to use sigsetjmp instead.
The _dl_start_profile calls sigaction through _profil, and to avoid
pulling abort() on loader the call is replaced with __libc_sigaction.

Each mask in the sigset array is an unsigned long, so fix __sigisemptyset
to use that instead of int. The __sigword function returns a simple array
index, so it can return int instead of unsigned long.
The main drive is to optimize the internal usage and required size
when sigset_t is embedded in other data structures. On Linux, the
current supported signal set requires up to 8 bytes (16 on mips),
was lower than the user defined sigset_t (128 bytes).
A new internal type internal_sigset_t is added, along with the
functions to operate on it similar to the ones for sigset_t. The
internal-signals.h is also refactored to remove unused functions
Besides small stack usage on some functions (posix_spawn, abort)
it lower the struct pthread by about 120 bytes (112 on mips).
