[LTP] [PATCH v2] pthread_detach_1-2: Fix failure on modern glibc

[Wei Gao]

Latest test in our openqa setup (Linux 7.1-rc2, Glibc 2.43) show following error:
Test FAILED: We were able to join a detached thread.

This is triggered by glibc commit 5da15b15adab661c80e373b6af89be0b5fa5b3ad
("nptl: Do not use pthread set_tid_address as state synchronization (BZ #19951)").

New logic remove the logic of check whether valid thread handle in __pthread_clockjoin_ex().
-  /* Make sure the descriptor is valid.  */
-  if (INVALID_NOT_TERMINATED_TD_P (pd))
-    /* Not a valid thread handle.  */
-    return ESRCH;

So add a second synchronization semaphore to ensure the child thread remains
alive until the main thread has completed its checks. This forces glibc
to see the THREAD_STATE_DETACHED status and correctly return EINVAL.
