H A Dlocaleconv.cdiff 7eb138a9e53636366e615bdf04062fedc044bcea Fri Sep 17 16:44:23 CEST 2021 Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> libc/locale: Fix races between localeconv(3) and setlocale(3)

Each locale embeds a lazily initialized lconv which is populated by
localeconv(3) and localeconv_l(3). When setlocale(3) updates the global
locale, the lconv needs to be (lazily) reinitialized. To signal this,
we set flag variables in the locale structure. There are two problems:

- The flags are set before the locale is fully updated, so a concurrent
localeconv() call can observe partially initialized locale data.
- No barriers ensure that localeconv() observes a fully initialized
locale if a flag is set.

So, move the flag update appropriately, and use acq/rel barriers to
provide some synchronization. Note that this is inadequate in the face
of multiple concurrent calls to setlocale(3), but this is not expected
to work regardless.

Thanks to Henry Hu <henry.hu.sh@gmail.com> for providing a test case
demonstrating the race.
