at the end of successful pthread_once, there was a race window during which another thread calling pthread_once would momentarily change the state back from 2 (finished) to 1 (in-progress). in this case, the status was immediately changed back, but with no wake call, meaning that waiters which arrived during this short window could block forever. there are two possible fixes. one would be adding the wake to the code path where it was missing. but it's better just to avoid reverting the status at all, by using compare-and-swap instead of swap.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.0 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
