The patch in this Bugzilla entry was requested by a customer: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4578 https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19282 If a thread happens to hold dl_load_lock and have r_state set to RT_ADD or RT_DELETE at the time another thread calls fork(), then the child exit code from fork (in nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fork.c in our case) re-initializes dl_load_lock but does not restore r_state to RT_CONSISTENT. If the child subsequently requires ld.so functionality before calling exec(), then the assertion will fire. The patch acquires dl_load_lock on entry to fork() and releases it on exit from the parent path. The child path is initialized as currently done. This is essentially pthreads_atfork, but forced to be first because the acquisition of dl_load_lock must happen before malloc_atfork is active to avoid a deadlock. The __libc_fork() code reset dl_load_lock, but it also needed to reset dl_load_write_lock.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
