> Changes in v10:
> - Fix fedora42 failure by adding tcb
> - Add missing usleep(1000) in free_tls
> 
> Changes in v9:
> - allow small delay by using usleep before call free_tls
> - validate ./clone10 -i 10 on aarch64 and x86_64, both pass 
> 
> Changes in v8:
> - call free_tls() in touch_tls_in_child instead of cleanup
> - remove CFLAGS += -fsanitize=address in Makefile to fix memory double free
>   issue
> 
> Changes in v7:
> - remove unnecessary in verify_tls()
> - add CFLAGS += -fsanitize=address in Makefile to fix memory double free
>   issue
> 
> Changes in v6:
> - update flag to effective combination
> - combine x86_64 with other arches
> - rename child function
> - remove inproper exit
> - remove unused code lines
> - remove sleep statement
> 
> Changes in v5:
> - wrap duplicate code into one single methold
> - remove duplicately malloc
> 
> Changes in v4:
> - remove riscv and loongarch definition
> 
> Changes in v3:
> - fix missing head file for x86

All these functions seems to be duplicated in both tests. It should be
better if we put the tls init/alloc/free functions into a common header
in lapi/tls.h

We have TST_CHECKPOINT_* for parent/child synchronization:
