From: Edward Liaw <edliaw@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e61ef21e27e8deed8c474e9f47f4aa7bc37e138c upstream. Patch series "selftests/mm: fix deadlock after pthread_create". On Android arm, pthread_create followed by a fork caused a deadlock in the case where the fork required work to be completed by the created thread. Update the synchronization primitive to use pthread_barrier instead of atomic_bool. Apply the same fix to the wp-fork-with-event test. This patch (of 2): Swap synchronization primitive with pthread_barrier, so that stdatomic.h does not need to be included. The synchronization is needed on Android ARM64; we see a deadlock with pthread_create when the parent thread races forward before the child has a chance to start doing work.
