Linux's execve has (at the time of writing, and since v2.6.30) a bug when it ran concurrently with clone, in that it would fail to set up some datastructures if the thread count before and after some steps differed. This is described better and in more detail by Colin King in Launchpad¹ and kernel² bugs. When a program written in Go runtime.Exec's a setuid binary, this issue may cause the resulting process to not have the expected uid. This patch works around the issue by using a mutex to serialize exec and clone. 1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1672819 2. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195453 Fixes #19546 Change-Id: I126e87d1d9ce3be5ea4ec9c7ffe13f92e087903d Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/43713Reviewed-by: Ian Lance Taylor <iant@golang.org> Run-TryBot: Ian Lance Taylor <iant@golang.org> TryBot-Result: Gobot Gobot <gobot@golang.org>
