commit 4bf72519987ebc2be4a2058c670379040fae90ea Author: Florian Weimer Date: Fri Oct 1 18:16:41 2021 +0200 support: Add check for TID zero in support_wait_for_thread_exit Some kernel versions (observed with kernel 5.14 and earlier) can list "0" entries in /proc/self/task. This happens when a thread exits while the task list is being constructed. Treat this entry as not present, like the proposed kernel patch does: [PATCH] procfs: Do not list TID 0 in /proc//task Fixes commit 032d74eaf6179100048a5bf0ce942e97dc8b9a60 ("support: Add support_wait_for_thread_exit").
