    posix: New Linux posix_spawn{p} implementation
    
    This patch implements a new posix_spawn{p} implementation for Linux.  The main
    difference is it uses the clone syscall directly with CLONE_VM and CLONE_VFORK
    flags and a direct allocated stack.  The new stack and start function solves
    most the vfork limitation (possible parent clobber due stack spilling).  The
    remaning issue are related to signal handling:
    
      1. That no signal handlers must run in child context, to avoid corrupt
         parent's state.
      2. Child must synchronize with parent to enforce stack deallocation and
         to possible return execv issues.
    
    The first one is solved by blocking all signals in child, even NPTL-internal
    ones (SIGCANCEL and SIGSETXID).  The second issue is done by a stack allocation
    in parent and a synchronization with using a pipe or waitpid (in case or error).
    The pipe has the advantage of allowing the child signal an exec error (checked
    with new tst-spawn2 test).
    
    There is an inherent race condition in pipe2 usage for architectures that do not
    support the syscall directly.  In such cases the a pipe plus fctnl is used
    instead and it may lead to file descriptor leak in parent (as decribed by fcntl
    documentation).
    
    The child process stack is allocate with a mmap with MAP_STACK flag using
    default architecture stack size.  Although it is slower than use a stack buffer
    from parent, it allows some slack for the compatibility code to run scripts
    with no shebang (which may use a buffer with size depending of argument list
    count).
    
    Performance should be similar to the vfork default posix implementation and
    way faster than fork path (vfork on mostly linux ports are basically
    clone with CLONE_VM plus CLONE_VFORK).  The only difference is the syscalls
    required for the stack allocation/deallocation.
    
    It fixes BZ#10354, BZ#14750, and BZ#18433.
    
    Tested on i386, x86_64, powerpc64le, and aarch64.

+
+   1. That no signal handlers must run in child context, to avoid corrupting

commit 1eb8930608705702d5746e5491bab4e4429fcb83
Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
Date:   Fri Jan 22 09:58:49 2016 -0200

    posix: execvpe cleanup
    
    This patch removes all the dynamic allocation on execvpe code and
    instead use direct stack allocation.  This is QoI approach to make
    it possible use in scenarios where memory is shared with parent
    (vfork or clone with CLONE_VM).
    
    For default process spawn (script file without a shebang), stack
    allocation is bounded by NAME_MAX plus PATH_MAX plus 1.  Large
    file arguments returns an error (ENAMETOOLONG).  This differs than
    current GLIBC pratice in general, but it used to limit stack
    allocation for large inputs.  Also, path in PATH environment variable
    larger than PATH_MAX are ignored.
    
    The shell direct execution exeception, where execve returns ENOEXEC,
    might requires a large stack allocation due large input argument list.
    
    Tested on i686, x86_64, powerpc64le, and aarch64.
    
    	* posix/execvpe.c (__execvpe): Remove dynamic allocation.
    	* posix/Makefile (tests): Add tst-execvpe{1,2,3,4,5,6}.
    	* posix/tst-execvp1.c (do_test): Use a macro to call execvp.

commit f83bb9b8e97656ae0d3e2a31e859363e2d4d5832

    posix: Remove dynamic memory allocation from execl{e,p}
    
    GLIBC execl{e,p} implementation might use malloc if the total number of
    arguments exceed initial assumption size (1024).  This might lead to
    issues in two situations:
    
    1. execl/execle is stated to be async-signal-safe by POSIX [1].  However
       if execl is used in a signal handler with a large argument set (that
       may call malloc internally) and if the resulting call fails it might
       lead malloc in the program in a bad state.
    
    2. If the functions are used in a vfork/clone(VFORK) situation it also
       might issue malloc internal bad state.
    
    This patch fixes it by using stack allocation instead.  It also fixes
    BZ#19534.
    
    Tested on x86_64.
