Greetings,

This patch is an update to previous patch by Anoop:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2008-09/msg00013.html

See discussion in the above message.

Changes from the previous patch: I extended the lifetime of the lock
from __new_exitfn to its callers, since they *also* modify global
state.

Tested: "make check" on Linux/x86_64.
Also ran the test from
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14333#c5 a few hundred
times.

        [BZ #14333]
        * stdlib/cxa_atexit.c (__internal_atexit): Use __exit_funcs_lock.
        (__new_exitfn): Fail registration when we finished at_exit processing.
        * stdlib/on_exit.c (__on_exit): Likewise.
       * stdlib/exit.c (__exit_funcs_done): New variable.
        (__run_exit_handlers): Use __exit_funcs_lock.
        * stdlib/exit.h (__exit_funcs_lock, __exit_funcs_done): New
declarations.

Is there such a race for quick_exit / at_quick_exit (which postdate the 
previous patch), or not?  If there is, it should also be fixed (all 
atexit-like functions should be fixed).

Is it possible to add a test / tests for this issue to the glibc 
testsuite?

Anoop removed from CC list since his e-mail no longer works.

Yes, the test from bz14333#c5 with s/atexit/at_quick_exit/ and
s/exit/quick_exit/ also crashes the same way, and the patch here fixes
that crash as well.

They all share the implementation, so this is already done here :-)

Sure. I was going to add it after the "basic" atexit ordering test,
but since that patch requires revisions, I will send a patch to add
the multithreaded test for atexit/at_quick_exit/__cxa_at_quick_exit
separately (or should it be part of this patch?).

Thanks,

A patch fixing a bug should also include the tests for that bug.
