 // Lock synchronizing creation of new file descriptors with fork.
 //
 // We want the child in a fork/exec sequence to inherit only the
 // file descriptors we intend.  To do that, we mark all file
 // descriptors close-on-exec and then, in the child, explicitly
 // unmark the ones we want the exec'ed program to keep.
 // Unix doesn't make this easy: there is, in general, no way to
 // allocate a new file descriptor close-on-exec.  Instead you
 // have to allocate the descriptor and then mark it close-on-exec.
 // If a fork happens between those two events, the child's exec
 // will inherit an unwanted file descriptor.
 //
 // This lock solves that race: the create new fd/mark close-on-exec
 // operation is done holding ForkLock for reading, and the fork itself
 // is done holding ForkLock for writing.  At least, that's the idea.
 // There are some complications.
 //
 // Some system calls that create new file descriptors can block
 // for arbitrarily long times: open on a hung NFS server or named
 // pipe, accept on a socket, and so on.  We can't reasonably grab
 // the lock across those operations.
 //
 // It is worse to inherit some file descriptors than others.
 // If a non-malicious child accidentally inherits an open ordinary file,
 // that's not a big deal.  On the other hand, if a long-lived child
 // accidentally inherits the write end of a pipe, then the reader
 // of that pipe will not see EOF until that child exits, potentially
 // causing the parent program to hang.  This is a common problem
 // in threaded C programs that use popen.
 //
 // Luckily, the file descriptors that are most important not to
 // inherit are not the ones that can take an arbitrarily long time
 // to create: pipe returns instantly, and the net package uses
 // non-blocking I/O to accept on a listening socket.
 // The rules for which file descriptor-creating operations use the
 // ForkLock are as follows:
 //
 // 1) Pipe.    Does not block.  Use the ForkLock.
 // 2) Socket.  Does not block.  Use the ForkLock.
 // 3) Accept.  If using non-blocking mode, use the ForkLock.
 //             Otherwise, live with the race.
 // 4) Open.    Can block.  Use O_CLOEXEC if available (Linux).
 //             Otherwise, live with the race.
 // 5) Dup.     Does not block.  Use the ForkLock.
 //             On Linux, could use fcntl F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
 //             instead of the ForkLock, but only for dup(fd, -1).
