forked child can hang #46

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
A program under tsan does much more than a normal one, even memory accesses are 
not fully async-signal-safe. So a correct program that uses fork can hang under 
tsan.
This needs to be fixed one way or another.
There are 2 competing proposals.
One is to lock all internal mutexes before fork:

Another is to disable memory access and sync action processing after fork in 
multithreaded program (expecting it to exec soon). For single-threaded programs 
we can continue to work as usual.
