macOS: workaround a dyld/libunwind deadlock issue since 12.1

[vtjnash]

Apple reintroduced the old bug that we previously worked around in
fad04d3 with a similar patch to this.

Fixes #43578

[staticfloat]

Is there a minimal reproducer that I can send to Apple?

[vtjnash]

You can potentially just note that the documentation for these functions in libunwind implies it doesn't acquire a lock, and that dyld is now violating that: http:https://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/man/unw_step(3).html#section_4

[staticfloat]

Alright, I opened a feedback with Apple, we'll see if it goes anywhere.

[IanButterworth]

I can confirm that the MWE from #43578 is fixed

julia> @profile while true
          run(`pwd`)
       end
/Users/ian/Documents/GitHub/julia
/Users/ian/Documents/GitHub/julia
/Users/ian/Documents/GitHub/julia
etc.

but stress testing it here made it deadlock with ^C and ^T not working

with ^C and ^T not working

Good catch. That is a different (but closely related) bug.

[IanButterworth]

Unfortunately something's still deadlocking for me. This is stopped with 0% cpu.

I've tried, but I can't get this to deadlock! Thanks @vtjnash !

I just hit a similar repeatable deadlock on ubuntu on master

Note that PrivateRegistry is the only registry added via ssh

I added a debug print to that error throw

error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:SSH, Failed to retrieve list of SSH authentication 
methods: Error waiting on socket)"

This requires a manual backport against backports-release-1.6.
