commit 3abf3bd4edc86fb28c099cc85203cb46a811e0b8 Author: Florian Weimer Date: Mon Sep 13 11:06:08 2021 +0200 nptl: pthread_kill, pthread_cancel should not fail after exit (bug 19193) This closes one remaining race condition related to bug 12889: if the thread already exited on the kernel side, returning ESRCH is not correct because that error is reserved for the thread IDs (pthread_t values) whose lifetime has ended. In case of a kernel-side exit and a valid thread ID, no signal needs to be sent and cancellation does not have an effect, so just return 0. sysdeps/pthread/tst-kill4.c triggers undefined behavior and is removed with this commit.
