NtQueryVirtualMemory for MemorySectionName does not reliable return the
changed dll file name when another process does move the file around,
and we may end up creating forkable hardlinks to wrong dll files.
So query the file id when loading the dll rather than before fork.
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

(fork): When first dofork run failed and did not use forkables,

(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.

The original dll_init code was living under the wrong assumption that
dll_dllcrt0_1 and in turn dll_list::alloc will be called for each
LoadLibrary call. The same wrong assumption was made for
cygwin_detach_dll/dll_list::detach called via FreeLibrary.
In reality, dll_dllcrt0_1 gets only called once at first LoadLibrary
and cygwin_detach_dll once at last FreeLibrary.
In effect, reference counting for DLLs was completely broken after fork:
parent:
l1 = dlopen ("lib1"); // LoadLibrary, LoadCount = 1
l2 = dlopen ("lib1"); // LoadLibrary, LoadCount = 2
fork (); // LoadLibrary in the child, LoadCount = 1!
child:
dlclose (l1); // FreeLibrary actually frees the lib
x = dlsym (l2); // SEGV
* Move reference counting to dlopen/dlclose since only those functions
have to keep track of loading/unloading DLLs in the application context.
* Remove broken accounting code from dll_list::alloc and dll_list::detach.
* Fix error handling in dlclose.

This patch alters the behaviour of dll_list::topsort to preserve the
order of dlopen'd units.
The load order of unrelated DLLs is reversed every time fork is called,
since dll_list::topsort finds the tail of the list and then unwinds to
reinsert items. My change takes advantage of what should be undefined
behaviour in dll_list::populate_deps (ndeps non-zero and ndeps and deps
not initialised) to allow the deps field to be initialised prior to the
call and appended to, rather than overwritten.
All DLLs which have been dlopen'd have their deps list initialised with
the list of all previously dlopen'd units. These extra dependencies mean
that the unwind preserves the order of dlopen'd units.
The motivation for this is the FlexDLL linker used in OCaml. The FlexDLL
linker allows a dlopen'd unit to refer to symbols in previously dlopen'd
units and it resolves these symbols in DllMain before anything else has
initialised (including the Cygwin DLL). This means that dependencies may
exist between dlopen'd units (which the OCaml runtime system
understands) but which Windows is unaware of. During fork, the
process-level table which FlexDLL uses to get the symbol table of each
DLL is copied over but because the load order of dlopen'd DLLs is
reversed, it is possible for FlexDLL to attempt to access memory in the
DLL before it has been loaded and hence it fails with an access
violation. Because the list is reversed on each call to fork, it means
that a subsequent call to fork puts the DLLs back into the correct
order, hence "even" invocations of fork work!
An interesting side-effect is that this only occurs if the DLLs load at
their preferred base address - if they have to be rebased, then FlexDLL
works because at the time that the dependent unit is loaded out of
order, there is still in memory the "dummy" DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES
version of the dependency which, as it happens, will contain the correct
symbol table in the data section. For my tests, this initially appeared
to be an x86-only problem, but that was only because the two DLLs on x64
should have been rebased.
