Careful updates of grnd_alloc.len are required to ensure that
after fork, grnd_alloc.states does not contain entries that
are also encountered by __getrandom_reset_state in TCBs.
For the same reason, it is necessary to overwrite the TCB state
pointer with NULL before updating grnd_alloc.states in
__getrandom_vdso_release.
Before this change, different TCBs could share the same getrandom
state after multi-threaded fork. This would be a critical security
bug (predictable randomness) if not caught during development.
The additional check in stdlib/tst-arc4random-thread makes it more
likely that the test fails due to the bugs mentioned above.
Both __getrandom_reset_state and __getrandom_vdso_release could
put reserved NULL pointers into the states array. This is also
fixed with this commit. After these changes, no null pointers were
observed in the states array during testing.

As of Linux 6.13, there is no code in the vDSO that declines this
initialization request with the special ~0UL state size. If the vDSO
has the function, the call succeeds and returns 0. It's expected
that the code would follow the “a negative value indicating an error”
convention, as indicated in the __cvdso_getrandom_data function
comment, so that INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERROR_P on glibc's side would return
true. This commit changes the commit to check for zero to indicate
success instead, which covers potential future non-zero success
return values and error returns.
Fixes commit 4f5704ea347e52ac3f272d1341da10aed6e9973e ("powerpc: Use
correct procedure call standard for getrandom vDSO call (bug 32440)").

A plain indirect function call does not work on POWER because
success and failure are signaled through a flag register, and
not via the usual Linux negative return value convention.
This has potential security impact, in two ways: the return value
could be out of bounds (EAGAIN is 11 on powerpc6le), and no
random bytes have been written despite the non-error return value.
Fixes commit 461cab1de747f3842f27a5d24977d78d561d45f9 ("linux: Add
support for getrandom vDSO").

Linux 6.11 has getrandom() in vDSO. It operates on a thread-local opaque
state allocated with mmap using flags specified by the vDSO.
Multiple states are allocated at once, as many as fit into a page, and
these are held in an array of available states to be doled out to each
thread upon first use, and recycled when a thread terminates. As these
states run low, more are allocated.
To make this procedure async-signal-safe, a simple guard is used in the
LSB of the opaque state address, falling back to the syscall if there's
reentrancy contention.
Also, _Fork() is handled by blocking signals on opaque state allocation
(so _Fork() always sees a consistent state even if it interrupts a
getrandom() call) and by iterating over the thread stack cache on
reclaim_stack. Each opaque state will be in the free states list
(grnd_alloc.states) or allocated to a running thread.
The cancellation is handled by always using GRND_NONBLOCK flags while
calling the vDSO, and falling back to the cancellable syscall if the
kernel returns EAGAIN (would block). Since getrandom is not defined by
POSIX and cancellation is supported as an extension, the cancellation is
handled as 'may occur' instead of 'shall occur' [1], meaning that if
vDSO does not block (the expected behavior) getrandom will not act as a
cancellation entrypoint. It avoids a pthread_testcancel call on the fast
path (different than 'shall occur' functions, like sem_wait()).
It is currently enabled for x86_64, which is available in Linux 6.11,
and aarch64, powerpc32, powerpc64, loongarch64, and s390x, which are
available in Linux 6.12.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

Due to the built-in tables, __NR_getrandom is always defined.
