// This module works by spawning a Linux task which then attaches to every
// thread in the caller process with ptrace. This suspends the threads, and
// PTRACE_GETREGS can then be used to obtain their register state. The callback
// supplied to StopTheWorld() is run in the tracer task while the threads are
// suspended.
// The tracer task must be placed in a different thread group for ptrace to
// work, so it cannot be spawned as a pthread. Instead, we use the low-level
// clone() interface (we want to share the address space with the caller
// process, so we prefer clone() over fork()).
//
// We avoid the use of libc for two reasons:
// 1. calling a library function while threads are suspended could cause a
// deadlock, if one of the treads happens to be holding a libc lock;
// 2. it's generally not safe to call libc functions from the tracer task,
// because clone() does not set up a thread-local storage for it. Any
// thread-local variables used by libc will be shared between the tracer task
// and the thread which spawned it.
//
// We deal with this by replacing libc calls with calls to our own
// implementations defined in sanitizer_libc.h and sanitizer_linux.h. However,
// there are still some libc functions which are used here:
//
// * All of the system calls ultimately go through the libc syscall() function.
// We're operating under the assumption that syscall()'s implementation does
// not acquire any locks or use any thread-local data (except for the errno
// variable, which we handle separately).
//
// * We lack custom implementations of sigfillset() and sigaction(), so we use
// the libc versions instead. The same assumptions as above apply.
//
// * It is safe to call libc functions before the cloned thread is spawned or
// after it has exited. The following functions are used in this manner:
// sigdelset()
// sigprocmask()
// clone()
