a robust mutex should not enter the unrecoverable status until it's unlocked without marking it consistent. previously, flag 8 in the type was used as an indication of unrecoverable, but only honored after successful locking; this resulted in a race window where the unrecoverable mutex could appear to a second thread as locked/busy again while the first thread was in the process of observing it as unrecoverable. now, flag 8 is used to mean that the mutex is in the process of being recovered, but not yet marked consistent. the flag only takes effect in pthread_mutex_unlock, where it causes the value 0x40000000 (owner dead flag, with old owner tid 0, an otherwise impossible state) to be stored in the lock. subsequent lock attempts will interpret this state as unrecoverable. |

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:
