LoongArch is going to be the first architecture supported by Linux that
has neither fstat* nor newfstatat [1], instead exclusively relying on
statx. So in fstatat64's implementation, we need to also enable statx
usage if neither fstatat64 nor newfstatat is present, to prepare for
this new case of kernel ABI.

Linux 5.18 adds a constant MADV_DONTNEED_LOCKED (defined in multiple
header files, but with the same value on all architectures). Add this
constant to bits/mman-linux.h.
Tested for x86_64.
Linux 5.18 defines a new AArch64 HWCAP value HWCAP2_MTE3; add it to
glibc's sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/bits/hwcap.h.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for aarch64-linux-gnu.
This patch updates the kernel version in the tests tst-mman-consts.py
and tst-pidfd-consts.py to 5.18. (There are no new constants covered
by these tests in 5.18, or in 5.17 in the case of tst-pidfd-consts.py
that previously used version 5.16, that need any other header
changes.)
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
Linux 5.18 has no new syscalls. Update the version number in

This was added on Linux 5.1(3eb39f47934f9d5a3027fe00d906a45fe3a15fad)
as a way to avoid the race condition of using kill (where PID might be
reused by the kernel between between obtaining the pid and sending the

If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then pidfd_send_signal is equivalent
to kill. If it is not NULL pidfd_send_signal is equivalent to
rt_sigqueueinfo.

The kernel version check is used to avoid glibc to run on older
kernels where some syscall are not available and fallback code are
not enabled to handle graciously fail. However, it does not prevent
if the kernel does not correctly advertise its version through
vDSO note, uname or procfs.
Also kernel version checks are sometime not desirable by users,
where they want to deploy on different system with different kernel
version knowing the minimum set of syscall is always presented on
such systems.
The kernel version check has been removed along with the
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable. The minimum kernel used to
built glibc is still provided through NT_GNU_ABI_TAG ELF note and
also printed when libc.so is issued.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
Currently on Linux __get_nprocs_conf first tries to enumerate the
cpus present in the system by iterating on /sys/devices/system/cpuX
directories. This only enumerates the CPUs that are present in
system (but possibly offline), not taking in account possible CPU
that might added in the system through hotplugging.
Linux provides the maximum number of configured cpus on the
/sys/devices/system/cpu file. Although it might present a larger
value of possible active CPUs on some system (where kernel either
get the information from firmaware or is configured at boot time),
the information is what kernel presents to userland.
This also change the returned value of _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF, which
aligns as the maximum configure cpu in the system.

The siglist.c is built with -fno-toplevel-reorder to avoid compiler
to reorder the compat assembly directives due an assembler

This patch removes the compiler flags by split the compat symbol
generation in two phases. First the __sys_siglist and __sys_sigabbrev
without any compat symbol directive is preprocessed to generate an
assembly source code. This generate assembly is then used as input
on a platform agnostic siglist.S which then creates the compat
definitions. This prevents compiler to move any compat directive
prior the _sys_errlist definition itself.

On 32-bit machines this has no affect. On 64-bit machines
{u}int_fast{16|32} are set as {u}int64_t which is often not

may save instruction cost.

start_addresses in sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/start.S is historical
baggage that should disappear. Until someone does that, relocating
stinfo->main by hand is one solution to the fact that the field may be
unrelocated at the time it is accessed. This is similar to what is
done for dynamic tags via the D_PTR macro. stinfo->init and
stinfo->fini are zero in both powerpc64/start.S and powerpc32/start.S,
so make it a little more obvious they are unused by passing NULLs to
LIBC_START_MAIN. The makefile change is needed to pick up
elf/dl-static-tls.h from dl-machine.h.

The __closefrom_fallback tries to get a available file descriptor
if the initial open ("/proc/self/fd/", ...) fails. It assumes the
failure would be only if procfs is not mount (ENOENT), however if
the the proc file is not accessible (due some other kernel filtering
such apparmor) it will iterate over a potentially large file set
issuing close calls.
It should only try the close fallback if open returns EMFILE,
ENFILE, or ENOMEM.
