pinfo::remember with the detach parameter set to true is
the only way to call proc_subproc with PROC_DETACHED_CHILD.
This call is exclusively used in spawn to set up a pinfo for
a detached child, and that pinfo goes out of scope right
afterwards without any further action.
Drop the flag and drop the detach parameter from pinfo::remember.

After patch 23a779bf3d
"Cygwin: pinfo: stop remember doing reattach",
PROC_ADDCHILD actually just sets up a new child, mirroring
PROC_DETACHED_CHILD. The actual attaching of the child is
performed by action PROC_REATTACH_CHILD or pinfo::reattach
respectively.
To better reflect what's going on, rename PROC_REATTACH_CHILD
to PROC_ATTACH_CHILD and rename pinfo::reattach to pinfo::attach.
For better readability change PROC_ADDCHILD to PROC_ADD_CHILD.
Fix comments accordingly.

- In this implementation, pseudo console is created for each native
console app. Advantages and disadvantages of this implementation
over the previous implementation are as follows.
Advantages:
1) No performance degradation in pty output for cygwin process.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-February/243858.html
2) Free from the problem caused by difference of behaviour of control
sequences between real terminal and pseudo console.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2019-December/243281.htmlhttps://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-February/243855.html
3) Free from the problem in cgdb and emacs gud.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-January/243601.htmlhttps://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2020-March/244146.html
4) Redrawing screen on executing native console apps is not necessary.
5) cygwin-console-helper is not necessary for the pseudo console
support.
6) The codes for pseudo console support are much simpler than that
of the previous one.
Disadvantages:
1) The cygwin program which calls console API directly does not work.
2) The apps which use console API cannot be debugged with gdb. This
is because pseudo console is not activated since gdb uses
CreateProcess() rather than exec(). Even with this limitation,
attaching gdb to native apps, in which pseudo console is already
activated, works.
3) Typeahead key inputs are discarded while native console app is
executed. Simirally, typeahead key inputs while cygwin app is
executed are not inherited to native console app.
4) Code page cannot be changed by chcp.com. Acctually, chcp works
itself and changes code page of its own pseudo console. However,
since pseudo console is recreated for another process, it cannot
inherit the code page.
5) system_printf() does not work after stderr is closed. (Same with
cygwin 3.0.7)
6) Startup time of native console apps is about 3 times slower than
previous implemenation.
7) Pseudo console cannot be activated if it is already activated for
another process on same pty.
Newlib's posix_spawn has been taken from FreeBSD. The code relies on
BSD-specific behaviour of vfork, namely the fact that vfork blocks
the parent until the child exits or calls execve as well as the fact
that the child shares parent memory in non-COW mode.
This behaviour can't be emulated by Cygwin. Cygwin's vfork is
equivalent to fork. This is POSIX-compliant, but it's lacking BSD's
vfork ingrained synchronization of the parent to wait for the child
calling execve, or the chance to just write a variable and the parent
will see the result.
So this requires a Cygwin-specific solution. The core function of
posix_spawn, called do_posix_spawn is now implemented twice, once using
the BSD method, and once for Cygwin using Windows synchronization under
the hood waiting for the child to call execve and signalling errors
upstream. The Windows specifics are hidden inside Cygwin, so newlib
only calls internal Cygwin functions.

- PTY has a bug reported in:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2020-02/msg00067.html.
This is the result of state mismatch between real pseudo console
attaching state and state variable. This patch fixes the issue.
- Pseudo console support introduced by commit
169d65a577 sometimes cause random
crash or freeze by pressing ^C while cygwin and non-cygwin
processes are executed simultaneously in the same pty. This
patch is a workaround for this issue.
- Pseudo console support introduced by commit
169d65a577 has some bugs which
cause mismatch between state variables and real pseudo console
state regarding console attaching and r/w pipe switching. This
patch fixes this issue by redesigning the state management.
- Support pseudo console in PTY. Pseudo console is a new feature
in Windows 10 1809, which provides console APIs on virtual
terminal. With this patch, native console applications can work
in PTYs such as mintty, ssh, gnu screen or tmux.
Do not attach to the child before it was successfully initialized, or we

During fork, the child process requires the process table to be
initialized for fixup_shms_after_fork, while still allowing subsequent
dlls.load_after_fork to fail silently (for when the "forkable" hardlinks
are not created yet).
pinfo::remember not performing reattach anymore requires explicit
pinfo::reattach now where appropriate.

Do not remember the child before it was successfully initialized, or we
would need more sophisticated cleanup on child initialization failure,
like cleaning up the process table and suppressing SIGCHILD delivery
with multiple threads ("waitproc") involved. Compared to that, the
potential slowdown due to an extra yield () call should be negligible.
Pause the child process after performing fork fixups even if there were
no dynamically loaded dlls with extra data/bss transfers to wait for.
This allows the parent process to cancel the current fork call even if
the child process was successfully initialized already.
This is a preparation for when the parent does remember the child no
earlier than after successful child initialization.
In dll_crt0_0, both threadinterface->Init and sigproc_init allocate
windows object handles using unpredictable memory regions, which may
collide with dynamically loaded dlls when they were relocated.
Create process with standard rights, plus

To support in-cygwin package managers, the fork() implementation must
not rely on .exe and .dll files to stay in their original location, as
the package manager's job is to replace these files. Instead, when the
first fork try fails, and we have NTFS, we use hardlinks to the original
binaries in /var/run/cygfork/ to create the child process during the
second fork try, along the main.exe.local file to enable the "DotLocal
Dll Redirection" feature for the dlls.
The (probably few) users that need an update-safe fork manually have to
create the /var/run/cygfork/ directory for now, using:
mkdir --mode=a=rwxt /var/run/cygfork
* child_info.h: Bump CURR_CHILD_INFO_MAGIC.

dlls.main_executable.
(fork): When first dofork run failed and did not use forkables,
run dofork again with_forkables set to true.
(child_copy): Use debug_printf if silentfail is true,
system_printf otherwise.
In preparation to protect fork() against dll- and exe-updates, create
hardlinks to the main executable and each loaded dll in subdirectories
of /var/run/cygfork/, if that one exists on the NTFS file system.
The directory names consist of the user sid, the main executable's NTFS
IndexNumber, and the most recent LastWriteTime of all involved binaries
(dlls and main executable). Next to the main.exe hardlink we create the
empty file main.exe.local to enable dll redirection.
The name of the mutex to synchronize hardlink creation/cleanup also is
assembled from these directory names, to allow for synchronized cleanup
of even orphaned hardlink directories.
The hardlink to each dynamically loaded dll goes into another directory,
named using the NTFS IndexNumber of the dll's original directory.

When fork finally fails although both CreateProcess and creating the
"cygpid.N" shared memory section succeeded, we have to release that
shared memory section as well - before releasing the process handle.
Otherways we leave an orphan "cygpid.N" shared memory section, and any
subsequent cygwin process receiving the same PID fails to initialize.
* fork.cc (frok::parent): Call child.allow_remove in cleanup code.
Using the Windows PID as Cygwin PID has a few drawbacks:
- the PIDs on Windows get reused quickly. Some POSIX applications choke
on that, so we need extra code to avoid too quick PID reuse.
- The code to avoid PID reuse keeps parent process handles and
(depending on a build option) child processes open unnecessarily.
- After an execve, the process has a split personality: Its Windows PID
is a new PID, while its Cygwin PID is the PID of the execve caller
process. This requires to keep two procinfo shared sections open, the
second just to redirect process info requests to the first, correct
one.
This patch changes the way Cygwin PIDs are generated:
- Cygwin PIDs are generated independently of the Windows PID, in a way
expected by POSIX processes. The PIDs are created incrementally in
the range between 2 and 65535, round-robin.
- On startup of the first Cygwin process, choose a semi-random start PID
for the first process in the lower PID range to make the PIDs slightly
unpredictable. This may not be necessary but it seems kind of inviting
to know that the first Cygwin process always starts with PID 2.
- Every process not only creates the shared procinfo section, but also a
symlink in the NT namespace, symlinking the Windows PID to the Cygwin
PID. This drops the need for the extra procinfo section after execve.
- Don't keep other process handles around unnecessarily.
- Simplify the code creating/opening the shared procinfo section and
make a clear distinction between interfaces getting a Cygwin PID and
interfaces getting a Windows PID.

- Use a Slim R/W Lock for synchronization.
- Drop timer chaining. It doesn't server a purpose since all timers
are local only.
- Rename ttstart to itimer_tracker to better reflect its purpose.
It's not the anchor for a timer chain anymore anyway.

When fork fails, we can use "%s" now with system_sprintf for the errmsg
rather than a (potentially too small) buffer for the format string.
* fork.cc (fork): Use "%s" with system_printf now.
So far we copy *_impure_ptr into _main_tls->local_clib if the child
process has been forked from a pthread. But that's not required.
The local_clib area of the new thread is on the stack and the stack
gets copied from the parent anyway (in frok::parent). So we only
have to make sure _main_tls is pointing to the right address and
do the simple post-fork thread init.
