/* __start_thread (flags, stack, func, arg)
   calls __rfork (flags), and in the child sets the stack pointer and then
   calls _exit (func (arg)).
   It cannot be done in portable C.  */

/*
   The parameters are passed in registers:
   rdi: flags for rfork

#define SIG_SETMASK	3

/* There is a window of a few instructions, right after the rfork
   system call, where the handling of a signal would write garbage
   into the stack shared by the parent and the child (assuming
   RFMEM is set in flags).  To solve this: 1. We block all signals
   around the rfork system call and unblock them afterwards in
   the parent and in the child (but only after changing the stack
   pointer).  2. The child accesses only values passed in registers
   and on its own stack.  This way, if the parent is scheduled to
   run first, and handles a signal, it will not affect the child;
   and if the child runs first, and handles a signal, it will use
   the child's stack and not affect the parent.
