Core: PID file writing synchronization. Now, ngx_daemon() does not call exit() in the parent process immediately, but instead waits for the child process to signal it actually started (and wrote the PID file if configured to). This ensures that the PID file already exists when the parent process exits. To make sure that signal handlers won't cause unexpected logging in the parent process if the child process dies (for example, due to errors when writing the PID file), ngx_init_signals() is moved to the child process. This resolves "PID file ... not readable (yet?) after start" and "Failed to parse PID from file..." errors as observed with systemd. Note that the errors observed are considered to be a bug in systemd, which isn't able to work properly with traditional Unix daemons. Still, the workaround is implemented to make sure there will be no OS vendor patches trying to address this.

/*
 * All modern pthread mutex implementations try to acquire a lock
 * atomically in userland before going to sleep in kernel.  Some
 * spins before the sleeping.
 *
 * In Solaris since version 8 all mutex types spin before sleeping.
 * The default spin count is 1000.  It can be overridden using
 * _THREAD_ADAPTIVE_SPIN=100 environment variable.
 *
 * In MacOSX all mutex types spin to acquire a lock protecting a mutex's
 * internals.  If the mutex is busy, thread calls Mach semaphore_wait().
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL lacks deadlock detection and is the fastest
 * mutex type.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP
 *             remains from the times when pthread_mutex_timedlock() was
 *             non-standard extension.  Alias name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_FAST_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK is usually as fast as PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
 * yet has lightweight deadlock detection.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE allows recursive locking.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP spins on SMP systems before sleeping.
 *
 *   Linux:    No deadlock detection.  Dynamically changes a spin count
 *             for each mutex from 10 to 100 based on spin count taken
 *             previously.
 *   FreeBSD:  Deadlock detection.  The default spin count is 2000.
 *             It can be overridden using LIBPTHREAD_SPINLOOPS environment
 *             variable or by pthread_mutex_setspinloops_np().  If a lock
 *             is still busy, sched_yield() can be called on both UP and
 *             SMP systems.  The default yield loop count is zero, but
 *             it can be set by LIBPTHREAD_YIELDLOOPS environment
 *             variable or by pthread_mutex_setyieldloops_np().
 *   Solaris:  No PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP.
 *   MacOSX:   No PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP is a Linux extension to elide locks using
 * Intel Restricted Transactional Memory.  It is the most suitable for
 * rwlock pattern access because it allows simultaneous reads without lock.
 * Supported since glibc 2.18.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT is default mutex type.
 *
 *   Linux:    PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
 *   FreeBSD:  PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK.
 *   Solaris:  PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
 *   MacOSX:   PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
