The same test program in that report demonstrates the issue, but with
kill sending any non-zero signal. To reiterate, the problem here is
POSIX compliance with respect to sending signals to zombie processes.
Existing implementations vary on the result of a kill() with pid
indicating an inactive process (a terminated process that has not been
waited for by its parent). Some indicate success on such a call
(subject to permission checking), while others give an error of
[ESRCH]. Since the definition of process lifetime in this volume of
POSIX.1-2008 covers inactive processes, the [ESRCH] error as described
is inappropriate in this case. In particular, this means that an
application cannot have a parent process check for termination of a
particular child with kill(). (Usually this is done with the null
signal; this can be done reliably with waitpid().)
In response to the originally issue, this was fixed *specifically* for
the case of kill(pid, 0). But my reading of the above is that kill()
should return 0 in this case regardless of the signal (modulo
permissions, etc.). On Linux, for example, when calling kill with pid
of a zombie process the kernel will happily deliver the signal to the
relevant task_struct; it will just never be acted on since the task
will never run again.

arc: Fix strcmp for big endian without barrel shifter
strcmp.S contained invalid guard for code that used barrel-shifter optional
instruction - it was checking for !ARC601 instead of whether barrel shifter
is present. While it is true that ARC601 doesn't have barrel shifter, so
does some other ARC EM configurations.

Fix console clear screen in case of partial scrolling
Commit d7586cb incorrectly checked only for the new cursor position
beyond the old cursor position to decide if we have to correct for user
scrolling. Since this situation is handled just fine if the cursor is
still visible, only perform the subsequent correction if the cursor is
not in the visible console window.
Open process with PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION to fetch maps
Commit ba58e5f lowered permission requirements when opening threads
and processes to {PROCESS,THREAD}_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION. However,
when creating the /proc/<PID>/maps file, the call to VirtualQueryEx
requires PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION access
Note: It seems PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION is sufficient starting
with Windows 8.1, but this is neither documented on MSDN, nor is it a
safe bet. It may have to do with a fixed implementation of the UAC
trust levels. Let's better follow the docs for now.
Fix clear screen behaviour of console when user scrolled up or down
We must call SetConsoleCursorPosition prior to SetConsoleWindowInfo,
otherwise the scroll bars will not be updated by the OS. Make sure
to scroll the console window by just the right amount to have the
new cursor position one line after the used console buffer area at
the top of the console window, no matter the scroll state.
SIGTTIN should be raised when read() is made on a tty in a backgrounded
process, but not when it's tested with poll()/select().
I guess poll()/select() does need to call bg_check(), in order to detect the
error conditions that notices (that is, if bg_check() returns bg_eof or
bg_error, then fd is ready as an error condition exists) so add an optional
parameter to fhandler_base::bg_select() to indicate that signals aren't
desired.

truncl: Fix setting rounding bits in FPU control word
Mingw-w64, which is the source of this code, uses different
definitions of the rounding bits FE_TONEAREST and friends.
They immediately reflect the bit values in the FPU control word,
while on Cygwin they are shifted down to become the values 0-3.
Fix the bit computing expression to account for the difference.
Transform all special chars in relative Windows path string

Fix 32-bit SSIZE_MAX
POSIX requires that SSIZE_MAX have the same type as ssize_t, but
on 32-bit, we were defining it as a long even though ssize_t
resolves to an int. It also requires that SSIZE_MAX be usable
via preprocessor #if, so we can't cheat and use a cast.
If this were newlib, I'd have had to hack _intsup.h to probe the
qualities of size_t (via gcc's __SIZE_TYPE__), similar to how we
already probe the qualities of int8_t and friends, then cross our
fingers that ssize_t happens to have the same rank (most systems
do, but POSIX permits a system where they differ such as size_t
being long while ssize_t is int). Unfortunately gcc gives us
neither __SSIZE_TYPE__ nor __SSIZE_MAX__. On the other hand, our
limits.h is specific to cygwin, so we can just shortcut to the
correct results rather than being generic to all possible ABI.
strace: Make sure strace timer isn't copied to child process
At fork time the .data and .bss segments of the Cygwin DLL are copied
over to the child process. This also copies the strace timer since
it's in the .bss segment so far. Fix that by moving the strace timer
out into the .data_cygwin_nocopy segment.
Redefine locale info in struct _reent for per-thread locales
The _reent members _current_category and _current_locale are not
used at all. _current_locale is set to "C" in various points of
the code but its value is just as unused as _current_category.
This patch redefines these members without changing the size of the
structure to allow for an implementation of per-thread locales per
POSIX-1.2008 (i.e. uselocale and usage of the per-thread locale in
subsequent function calls).

ldd: Handle executable relocation when setting breakpoint
set_entry_point_break() uses GetModuleInformation to fetch the
address of the exe's entry point. However, just as with
lpStartAddress from the CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT event, the
returned address is only computed from the PE file header. It's
not actually the entry point in memory, if the executable is
relocated (ASLR). See
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684229(v=vs.85).aspx
Convert this to using the info from CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT
combined with the offset from the PE file header's AddressOfEntryPoint
to deal with relocation.
So far ldd terminates the inferior process as soon as some thread
is started. Apparently threads are started from even ntdll.dll
before the main thread of the application is started. As a result
the dll list is cut short since ldd terminates prematurely.
Make sure to use the Winsock definition of FIONREAD in ioctlsocket call
Commit b1b46d45 introduced a regression. After redefining FIONREAD
as part of restructuring newlib/Cygwin headers, the call to ioctlsocket
in the FIONREAD branch of fhandler_socket::ioctl should have been
changed to use the Winsock definition of FIONREAD, which I neglected.
This only affects 64 bit Cygwin.
