>Description:

During a ful ATF test run, this machine stops at:

lib/libc/tls/t_tls_dlopen (361/890): 1 test cases
    t_tls_dlopen:

Examining closer, the test crashes and ATF tries to get a backtrace, but
gdb spins and blocks atf. Killing gdb makes atf continue.

>How-To-Repeat:

cd /usr/tests/lib/libc/tls/ && atf-run t_tls_dlopen

>Fix:
n/a

 This is still reproducable on evbarmv5.

 For earmv5-el, in addition to lib/libc/tls/t_tls_dlopen,
 all tests in libexec/ld_elf.so/t_tls_extern crashes in
 a similar manner. GDB also spins forever.

 port-arm/56839 is irrelevant here; its workaround

 https://gist.github.com/rokuyama/3d791f2ceb2757dc389a95910162c9cb

 does not help.

 Strangely enough, these failures are not observed for
 earmv5-eb, even if running on *the same machine* (note
 that MARVELL_NAS-based machines support both endians).

 I will examine further...

 Thanks,
 rin

 The same symptom started showing up in ATF runs of evbearmv7hf-el
 on aarch64 machines (for different test cases).

 The failure on aarch64 running 32bit userland seems to be not quite 
 reproducable. Last run observed this:

     posix_spawn_kill_spawner: [0.036558s] Passed.
     posix_spawn_setpgid: [0.031224s] Skipped: kernel panic (pg_jobc going negative)
     posix_spawn_signalignored: [0.037008s] Passed.
     posix_spawn_signalmasked: 

 and output stopped, top shows:

   PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE   RES STATE       TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
 13770 root      30    0   103M   55M CPU/2      36:18 99.02% 99.02% gdb

 Attaching the 32bit gdb gives:
