After some discussions it seems the original news was not clear
and that it is valid to manually pass the branch protection flags
iff GCC target libs are built with them too. The main difference
between manually passing the flags and using the configure
option is that the latter also makes branch protection the
default in GCC which may not be desirable in some cases.

__GLRO loaded the word after the requested variable on big-endian
PowerPC, where LOWORD is 4. This can cause the memset implement
go wrong because the masking with the cache line size produces
wrong results, particularly if the loaded value happens to be 1.
The __GLRO macro is not used in any place where loading the lower
32-bit word of a 64-bit value is desired, so the +4 offset is always
wrong.

But the second argument of setgroups syscal is a pointer:

they will be zero-extended. The kernel XID arguments are unsigned and
do not require sign extension. Change xid_command to
struct xid_command

setgroups returned with EFAULT when running as root without the fix.
Make glibc MTE-safe on systems where MTE is available. This allows
using heap tagging with an LD_PRELOADed malloc implementation that
enables MTE. We don't document this as guaranteed contract yet, so
glibc may not be MTE safe when HWCAP2_MTE is set (older glibcs
certainly aren't). This is mainly for testing and debugging.
The HWCAP flag is not exposed in public headers until Linux adds it
to its uapi. The HWCAP value reservation will be in Linux 5.9.
Use PROT_READ and PROT_WRITE according to the load segment p_flags
when adding PROT_BTI.
This is before processing relocations which may drop PROT_BTI in
case of textrels. Executable stacks are not protected via PROT_BTI
either. PROT_BTI is hardening in case memory corruption happened,
it's value is reduced if there is writable and executable memory
available so missing it on such memory is fine, but we should
respect the p_flags and should not drop PROT_WRITE.
The SELinux API deprecated several symbols in its 3.1 release, including
security_context_t, matchpathcon, avc_init, and sidput, which are used in
makedb and nscd. While the usage of these should eventually be replaced by
newer interfaces, this commit disables GCC warnings due to the use of the
above symbols.

Optimize strlen using a mix of scalar and SIMD code. On modern micro
architectures large strings are 2.6 times faster than existing
strlen_asimd and 35% faster than the new MTE version of strlen.
On a random strlen benchmark using small sizes the speedup is 7% vs
strlen_asimd and 40% vs the MTE strlen. This fixes the main strlen
regressions on Cortex-A53 and other cores with a simple Neon unit.
Rename __strlen_generic to __strlen_mte, and select strlen_asimd when
MTE is not enabled (this is waiting on support for a HWCAP_MTE bit).

Restore <rpc/netdb.h> as an installed header. Delete the dummy header
resolv/rpc/netdb.h because inet is not an optional glibc component
(so its <rpc/netdb.h> is always available).

combination with commit 5500cdba40
("Remove --enable-obsolete-rpc configure flag").
In 2000 when date_fmt was originally added as an extension the
en_US locale did not have a date_fmt specifier and so used the
default which resulted in the abbreviated month name coming
before the day of the month (as expected in the US and other
locales). In commit 7395f3a0ef the
date_fmt was added to en_US with a 12H time to better align with
US user expectations. Unfortunately the abbreviated month name
and day were inverted during that transition, and that was seen
as a regression and reported against Fedora 32:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1830623
The progression of date_fmt looks like this:
"%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" <- Originally (2000)
"%a %d %b %Y %I:%M:%S %p %Z" <- glibc 2.29 (2019)
"%a %b %e %r %Z %Y" <- glibc 2.32 (2020) [this commit]
Note: "%r" is "%I:%M:%S %p" in en_US and so shorter to write.
Likewise the year is in the wrong place in commit
7395f3a0ef and this is corrected in
this patch.
For reference d_t_fmt:
"%a %d %b %Y %r %Z" <- d_t_fmt (1997)
Yes, d_t_fmt and date_fmt are *not* the same, this is just the
history of this locale. This commit does not change d_t_fmt to
better align with date_fmt. No users have requested we change
d_t_fmt or given any justification for such a change.
The only goals of this change are to place the abbreviated month
name before the day of the month as it has been printed since
2000, and place the year at the end. This minimizes the change
from commit 7395f3a0ef and makes
good on changing only from 24H clock to 12H clock.

Add a new memcpy using 128-bit Q registers - this is faster on modern
cores and reduces codesize. Similar to the generic memcpy, small cases
include copies up to 32 bytes. 64-128 byte copies are split into two
cases to improve performance of 64-96 byte copies. Large copies align
the source rather than the destination.
bench-memcpy-random is ~9% faster than memcpy_falkor on Neoverse N1,
so make this memcpy the default on N1 (on Centriq it is 15% faster than
memcpy_falkor).

2. Replace long with time_t.
3. Replace LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX with TYPE_MINIMUM (time_t) and
