This fix is in CoreLib so it needs to be submitted to https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr repo first. |

Shouldn't the coreclr fix be merged first? |
Will the coreclr change fail the new tests ? |

Yes, the new test will fail without the CoreCLR change. |

Backports a fix for issue dotnet/runtime#31717 which concerns a regression in the behaviour of the
Thread.CurrentPrincipalproperty, introduced in 3.0.This has already been fixed in .NET 5 (see dotnet/runtime#32104). This PR ports that fix down to release/3.1.
Customer Impact
Assigning a PrincipalPolicy to the current AppDomain results in the first thread correctly returning
Thread.CurrentPrincipal. However it will consistently returnnullfor any subsequent threads. There are no known workarounds to this issue.Regression?
Functional regression between 2.1 and 3.0. Reported by 2 customers.
Testing
The .NET 5 fix at dotnet/runtime#32104 includes tests for the fix.
Risk
Moderate. The regression was introduced in an attempt to introduce new behaviour (i.e. flowing the principal with ExecutionContext), but this was broken in all but the most trivial scenaria (using just one thread). It is conceivable that fixing this might expose other problems, or in the very least break applications written against 3.0 that implicitly depend on the current behaviour of the property.
