The generic hypotf is slight slower, mostly due the tricks the assembly
does to optimize the isinf/isnan/issignaling. The generic hypot is way
slower, since the optimized implementation uses the i386 default
excessive precision to issue the operation directly. A similar
implementation is provided instead of using the generic implementation:
Checked on i686-linux-gnu.
This implementation is based on 'An Improved Algorithm for hypot(a,b)'
by Carlos F. Borges [1] using the MyHypot3 with the following changes:
- Handle qNaN and sNaN.
- Tune the 'widely varying operands' to avoid spurious underflow
due the multiplication and fix the return value for upwards
rounding mode.
- Handle required underflow exception for subnormal results.
The main advantage of the new algorithm is its precision. With a
random 1e9 input pairs in the range of [LDBL_MIN, LDBL_MAX], glibc
current implementation shows around 0.05% results with an error of
1 ulp (453266 results) while the new implementation only shows
0.0001% of total (1280).

Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie
automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it.
Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent
building programs as PIE.
Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default
because they do not work at the moment. hppa, ia64, alpha and csky
don't work because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation
generated from PIE objects. The microblaze compiler is currently
failing with an ICE. GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does
not work and hence fails. All these targets have default PIE disabled
at the moment and I have left it to the target maintainers to enable PIE
on their targets.
build-many-glibcs runs clean for all targets. I also tested x86_64 on
Fedora and Ubuntu, to verify that the default build as well as
--disable-default-pie work as expected with both system toolchains.

TLS_INIT_TCB_ALIGN is not actually used. TLS_TCB_ALIGN was likely
introduced to support a configuration where the thread pointer
has not the same alignment as THREAD_SELF. Only ia64 seems to use
that, but for the stack/pointer guard, not for storing tcbhead_t.
Some ports use TLS_TCB_OFFSET and TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE to shift
the thread pointer, potentially landing in a different residue class
modulo the alignment, but the changes should not impact that.
In general, given that TLS variables have their own alignment
requirements, having different alignment for the (unshifted) thread
pointer and struct pthread would potentially result in dynamic
offsets, leading to more complexity.
hppa had different values before: __alignof__ (tcbhead_t), which
seems to be 4, and __alignof__ (struct pthread), which was 8
(old default) and is now 32. However, it defines THREAD_SELF as:
/* Return the thread descriptor for the current thread. */
# define THREAD_SELF \
({ struct pthread *__self; \
__self = __get_cr27(); \
__self - 1; \
})
So the thread pointer points after struct pthread (hence __self - 1),
and they have to have the same alignment on hppa as well.
Similarly, on ia64, the definitions were different. We have:
# define TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE \
(sizeof (struct pthread) \
+ (PTHREAD_STRUCT_END_PADDING < 2 * sizeof (uintptr_t) \
? ((2 * sizeof (uintptr_t) + __alignof__ (struct pthread) - 1) \
& ~(__alignof__ (struct pthread) - 1)) \
: 0))
# define THREAD_SELF \
((struct pthread *) ((char *) __thread_self - TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE))
And TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE is a multiple of the struct pthread alignment
(confirmed by the new _Static_assert in sysdeps/ia64/libc-tls.c).
On m68k, we have a larger gap between tcbhead_t and struct pthread.
But as far as I can tell, the port is fine with that. The definition
of TCB_OFFSET is sufficient to handle the shifted TCB scenario.
This fixes commit 23c77f6018
("nptl: Increase default TCB alignment to 32").

The relationship between the thread pointer and the rseq area
is made explicit. The constant offset can be used by JIT compilers
to optimize rseq access (e.g., for really fast sched_getcpu).
Extensibility is provided through __rseq_size and __rseq_flags.
(In the future, the kernel could request a different rseq size
via the auxiliary vector.)

string: Make tests birdirectional test-memcpy.c
Add tests that had src/dst non 4-byte aligned. Since src/dst are
initialized/compared as uint32_t type which is 4-byte aligned this can
break on some targets.
Fix the issue by specifying a new non-aligned 4-byte
`unaligned_uint32_t` for src/dst.
Another alternative is to rely on memcpy/memcmp for
initializing/testing src/dst. Using memcpy for initializing in memcpy
tests, however, could lead to future bugs.

localedef currently blindly trust the archive header. When passed an
archive file with the wrong endianess, this leads to a segmentation
fault:
$ localedef --big-endian --list-archive /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
When passed non-archive files, asserts are reported on the best case,
but sometimes it can lead to a segmentation fault:
$ localedef --list-archive /bin/true
localedef: programs/locarchive.c:1643: show_archive_content: Assertion `used < GET (head->namehash_used)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
$ localedef --list-archive /usr/lib/locale/C.utf8/LC_COLLATE
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This patch improves the user experience by looking at the magic value,
which is always written, but never checked. It should still be possible
to trigger a segmentation fault with crafted files, but this already
catch many cases.
The function was renamed to __atomic_wide_counter_load_relaxed
in commit 8bd336a00a ("nptl: Extract
<bits/atomic_wide_counter.h> from pthread_cond_common.c").
Current binutils defines __executable_start as the lowest text
address, so using the entry point address as a fallback is no
longer necessary. As a result, overriding <entry.h> is only
necessary if the entry point is not called _start.
The previous approach to define __ASSEMBLY__ to suppress the
declaration breaks if headers included by <entry.h> are not
compatible with __ASSEMBLY__. This happens with rseq integration
because it is necessary to include kernel headers in more places.
