Description:
------------
I am a developer at LiteSpeed Technologies and am working on a thread-capable version of the PHP module to be included in the Open-LiteSpeed web server.  During load testing, using PCRE with JIT support enabled (the default) with the thread-sanitizer enabled, we detected a race condition in sljitUtils.c line 224.  It appears that there are unprotected globals which will never be successful in a multi-threaded environment.  We recommend protecting these globals with atomic functions, or in some other way to avoid the race conditions.

Test script:
---------------
Can not be reproduced in a script.

Actual result:
--------------
WARNING: ThreadSanitizer: data race (pid=49992)

Confirmed. What is merely needed is to mutex protect the jit stack allocation, patching the bundled library is not needed. If you have a patch for this, please attach, otherwise i'm going to work on a fix next days.

Thanks.
