Miguel Martín June 27, 2024, 2:20 p.m. UTC
  Improve aligned_alloc/calloc/malloc test coverage by adding
multi-threaded tests with random memory allocations and with/without
cross-thread memory deallocations.

Perform a number of memory allocation calls with a randomly sized,
but limited to 0xffff, requests.

Use the existing DSO ('malloc/tst-aligned_alloc-lib.c') to randomize
allocator selection.

The multi-threaded allocation/deallocation is staged as described below:

- Stage 1: Half of the threads will be allocating memory and the
  other half will be waiting for them to finish the allocation.
- Stage 2: Half of the threads will be allocating memory and the
  other half will be deallocating memory.
- Stage 3: Half of the threads will be deallocating memory and the
  second half waiting on the to finish.

Add 'malloc/tst-aligned-alloc-random-thread.c' where each thread will
deallocate only the memory that was previously allocated by itself.

Add 'malloc/tst-aligned-alloc-random-thread-cross.c' where each thread
will deallocate memory that was previously allocated by another thread.

The intention is to be able to utilize existing malloc testing to ensure
that similar allocation APIs are also exposed to the same rigors.

This new test failed on armhf CI for some reason [1]

=== glibc failures ===

Usually '127' means a SEGFAULT.

Yeah, sorry for the late response but it took a while to figure out
what was going on.

It looks like the ARM compiler doesn't like the format of the
strings in the verbose_printf functions calls.

I will send an update with some other minor changes to improve
readability.
