Create a new node for tunables documentation and add notes for the
malloc tunables.
* manual/tunables.texi: New chapter.
* manual/Makefile (chapters): Add it.
* manual/probes.texi (@node): Point to the Tunables chapter.
Do not try to generate the manual when perl is unavailable. This
matches the behavior when makeinfo is unavailable. Otherwise the
install step fails when trying to generate the libm section since
it runs a perl script.
for ChangeLog
* manual/Makefile ($(objpfx)stamp-summary): Require
check-safety.sh to pass.
* manual/check-safety.sh: Wish for verification that every
@deftypefn and @deftypefun is followed by a @safety remark.
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html> I
noted it was necessary to add includes of Makeconfig early in various
subdirectory makefiles for the tests-special variable settings added
by that patch to be conditional on configuration information. No-one
commented on the general question there of whether Makeconfig should
always be included immediately after the definition of subdir.
This patch implements that early inclusion of Makeconfig in each
directory (which is a lot easier than consistent placement of includes
of Rules). Includes are added if needed, or moved up if already
present. Subdirectory "all:" targets are removed, since Makeconfig
provides one.
There is potential for further cleanups I haven't done. Rules and
Makerules have code such as
ifneq "$(findstring env,$(origin headers))" ""
headers :=
endif
to override to empty any value of various variables that came from the
environment. I think there is a case for Makeconfig setting all the
subdirectory variables (other than subdir) to empty to ensure no
outside value is going to take effect if a subdirectory fails to
define a variable. (A list of such variables, possibly out of date
and incomplete, is in manual/maint.texi.) Rules and Makerules would
give errors if Makeconfig hadn't already been included, instead of
including it themselves. The special code to override values coming
from the environment would then be obsolete and could be removed.
Tested x86_64, including that installed binaries are identical before
and after the patch.

This patch adds a new "Inter-Process Communication"
chapter to cover the sem*, msg*, and shm* functions.
Initially we document only the sem* function signatures
and their safety notes.
This adds the base chapter for POSIX threads and also documentation
for thread-specific data, along with a note on its interaction with
C++11 thread_local variables.
[BZ #13743]
A new class of installed headers has been documented for low-level
platform-specific functionality. PowerPC added the first instance with a
function to provide time base register access (__ppc_get_timebase). This
is required for applications that measure time at high frequencies with
high precision that can't afford a syscall.
[BZ #13750]
Do not build manual anymore in the source dir. Also clean up the
Makefile and remove rules that have been used previously
when we had a stand-alone Makefile which was obsoleted recently.
* manual/contrib.texi (Contributors): Fix cross reference.
* manual/libc.texinfo (Copying): Include freemanuals.
* manual/Makefile (appendices): Add freemanuals.
* manual/freemanuals.texi: New file.

* manual/libm-err-tab.pl: Pretty print more platforms, print a
smaller table.
* manual/math.texi (Errors in Math Functions): Fix grammar, start
table on separate page.

* manual/argp.texi: Remove ignored LGPL copyright notice; it's
not appropriate for documentation anyway.
* manual/libc-texinfo.sh: "Library General Public License" ->
"Lesser General Public License".
