Currently glibc uses in_time_t_range to detects time_t overflow,
and if it occurs fallbacks to 64 bit syscall version.
The function name is confusing because internally time_t might be
either 32 bits or 64 bits (depending on __TIMESIZE).
This patch refactors the in_time_t_range by replacing it with
in_int32_t_range for the case to check if the 64 bit time_t syscall
should be used.
The in_time_t range is used to detect overflow of the

The old exception handling implementation used function interposition
to replace the dynamic loader implementation (no TLS support) with the
libc implementation (TLS support). This results in problems if the
link order between the dynamic loader and libc is reversed (bug 25486).
The new implementation moves the entire implementation of the
exception handling functions back into the dynamic loader, using
THREAD_GETMEM and THREAD_SETMEM for thread-local data support.
These depends on Hurd support for these macros, added in commit
b65a82e4e7 ("hurd: Add THREAD_GET/SETMEM/_NC").
One small obstacle is that the exception handling facilities are used
before the TCB has been set up, so a check is needed if the TCB is
available. If not, a regular global variable is used to store the
exception handling information.
Also rename dl-error.c to dl-catch.c, to avoid confusion with the

The implementation is based on scalar Chacha20 with per-thread cache.
It uses getrandom or /dev/urandom as fallback to get the initial entropy,
and reseeds the internal state on every 16MB of consumed buffer.
To improve performance and lower memory consumption the per-thread cache
is allocated lazily on first arc4random functions call, and if the
memory allocation fails getentropy or /dev/urandom is used as fallback.
The cache is also cleared on thread exit iff it was initialized (so if
arc4random is not called it is not touched).
Although it is lock-free, arc4random is still not async-signal-safe
(the per thread state is not updated atomically).
The ChaCha20 implementation is based on RFC8439 [1], omitting the final
XOR of the keystream with the plaintext because the plaintext is a
stream of zeros. This strategy is similar to what OpenBSD arc4random
does.
The arc4random_uniform is based on previous work by Florian Weimer,
where the algorithm is based on Jérémie Lumbroso paper Optimal Discrete
Uniform Generation from Coin Flips, and Applications (2013) [2], who
credits Donald E. Knuth and Andrew C. Yao, The complexity of nonuniform
random number generation (1976), for solving the general case.
The main advantage of this method is the that the unit of randomness is not
the uniform random variable (uint32_t), but a random bit. It optimizes the
internal buffer sampling by initially consuming a 32-bit random variable
and then sampling byte per byte. Depending of the upper bound requested,
it might lead to better CPU utilization.

The 404656009b reversion did not setup the atomic loop to set the

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
Some Linux interfaces never restart after being interrupted by a signal
handler, regardless of the use of SA_RESTART [1]. It means that for
pthread cancellation, if the target thread disables cancellation with
pthread_setcancelstate and calls such interfaces (like poll or select),
it should not see spurious EINTR failures due the internal SIGCANCEL.
However recent changes made pthread_cancel to always sent the internal
signal, regardless of the target thread cancellation status or type.
To fix it, the previous semantic is restored, where the cancel signal
is only sent if the target thread has cancelation enabled in
asynchronous mode.
The cancel state and cancel type is moved back to cancelhandling
and atomic operation are used to synchronize between threads. The
patch essentially revert the following commits:
8c1c0aae20 nptl: Move cancel type out of cancelhandling

thus cannot be bind mounted from outside the container like other

As part of the fix for bug 12889, signals are blocked during
thread exit, so that application code cannot run on the thread that
is about to exit. This would cause problems if the application
expected signals to be delivered after the signal handler revealed
the thread to still exist, despite pthread_kill can no longer be used
to send signals to it. However, glibc internally uses the SIGSETXID
signal in a way that is incompatible with signal blocking, due to the
way the setxid handshake delays thread exit until the setxid operation
has completed. With a blocked SIGSETXID, the handshake can never
complete, causing a deadlock.
As a band-aid, restore the previous handshake protocol by not blocking
SIGSETXID during thread exit.
