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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
