Package: libc6
Version: 2.18-7
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream patch
Justification: causes ftbfs for src:kyotocabinet on sparc
Forwarded: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16882
Control: affects -1 + src:kyotocabinet
Hi,
kyotocabinet failed to build on sparc[1], because of a test failure.
It's a deadlock due to a bug in pthread_spin_lock[2]. Glibc branches
from 2.16 to 2.19 are affected. Patches are attached[3][4]. (waiting
for upstream approval) I've tested it locally, and all the testcases
in kyotocabinet passed, resulting in a successful build.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fixed pthread_spin_lock on sparc32/64 (bug 16882)
The bug occurs under this situation.
1. thread1 gets the lock, set the byte to FF
2. when thread2 is trying to lock, it enters the loop,
checking whether the byte is 00
3. thread1 unlocks, set to 00
4. thread2 finally gets the lock, without setting to FF
5. thread3 gets the lock, before thread2 unlocks it
