First commit:

Revert "Revert "am be741d47: am 2f460fbe: am 73b5cad9: Merge "bionic: Fix wrong kernel_id in pthread descriptor after fork()"""

This reverts commit 06823da2f0c8b4a4ce4c45113032f03df85c94b8.

Second commit:

bionic: fix atfork hanlder_mutex deadlock

This cherry-picks commit 34e89c232dd5645fe3b5f9b40856d8e3e4cae57a

After applying the kernel_id fix, the system refused to boot up and we
got following crash log:

Root cause:
The atfork uses the mutex handler_mutex to protect the atfork_head. The
parent will call __bionic_atfork_run_prepare() to lock the handler_mutex,
and need both the parent and child to unlock their own copy of handler_mutex
after fork. At that time, the owner of hanlder_mutex is set as the parent.
If we apply the kernel_id fix, then the child's kernel_id will be set as
child's tid.
The handler_mutex is a recursive lock, and pthread_mutex_unlock(&hander_mutex)
will fail because the mutex owner is the parent, while the current tid
(__get_thread()->kernel_id) is child, not matched with the mutex owner.
At that time, the handler_mutex is left in lock state.If the child wants to
fork other process after than, then it will try to lock handler_mutex, and
then be deadlocked.

Fix:
Since the child has its own copy of vm space from the the parent, the
child space's handler_mutex should be reset to the initialized state.

Welcome to Bionic, Android's small and custom C library for the Android
platform.

Bionic is mainly a port of the BSD C library to our Linux kernel with the
following additions/changes:

- no support for locales
- no support for wide chars (i.e. multi-byte characters)
- its own smallish implementation of pthreads based on Linux futexes
- support for x86, ARM and ARM thumb CPU instruction sets and kernel interfaces

Bionic is released under the standard 3-clause BSD License

Bionic doesn't want to implement all features of a traditional C library, we only
add features to it as we need them, and we try to keep things as simple and small
as possible. Our goal is not to support scaling to thousands of concurrent threads
on multi-processors machines; we're running this on cell-phones, damnit !!

Note that Bionic doesn't provide a libthread_db or a libm implementation.


Adding new syscalls:
====================

Bionic provides the gensyscalls.py Python script to automatically generate syscall
stubs from the list defined in the file SYSCALLS.TXT. You can thus add a new syscall
by doing the following:

- edit SYSCALLS.TXT
- add a new line describing your syscall, it should look like:

   return_type  syscall_name(parameters)    syscall_number

- in the event where you want to differentiate the syscall function from its entry name,
  use the alternate:

   return_type  funcname:syscall_name(parameters)  syscall_number

- additionally, if the syscall number is different between ARM and x86, use:

   return_type  funcname[:syscall_name](parameters)   arm_number,x86_number

- a syscall number can be -1 to indicate that the syscall is not implemented on
  a given platform, for example:

   void   __set_tls(void*)   arm_number,-1


the comments in SYSCALLS.TXT contain more information about the line format

You can also use the 'checksyscalls.py' script to check that all the syscall
numbers you entered are correct. It does so by looking at the values defined in
your Linux kernel headers. The script indicates where the values are incorrect
and what is expected instead.
