The goal is to remove most SSSE3 function as SSE4, AVX2, and EVEX are
generally preferable. memcpy/memmove is one exception where avoiding
unaligned loads with `palignr` is important for some targets.
This commit replaces memmove-ssse3 with a better optimized are lower
code footprint verion. As well it aliases memcpy to memmove.
Aside from this function all other SSSE3 functions should be safe to
remove.
The performance is not changed drastically although shows overall
improvements without any major regressions or gains.

More important this saves 7246 bytes of code size in memmove an
additional 10741 bytes by reusing memmove code for memcpy (total 17987
bytes saves). As well an additional 896 bytes of rodata for the jump
table entries.
With SSE2, SSE4.1, AVX2, and EVEX versions very few targets prefer
SSSE3. As a result it is no longer worth it to keep the SSSE3
versions given the code size cost.

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
2b51742531 nptl: Move cancel state out of cancelhandling
26cfbb7162 nptl: Remove CANCELING_BITMASK
However I changed the atomic operation to follow the internal C11
semantic and removed the MACRO usage, it simplifies a bit the
resulting code (and removes another usage of the old atomic macros).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu,

The new IBM z16 is added to platform string array.
The macro _DL_PLATFORMS_COUNT is incremented.
_dl_hwcaps_subdir is extended by "z16" if HWCAP_S390_VXRS_PDE2
is set. HWCAP_S390_NNPA is not tested in _dl_hwcaps_subdirs_active
as those instructions may be replaced or removed in future.
tst-glibc-hwcaps.c is extended in order to test z16 via new marker5.
A fatal glibc error is dumped if glibc was build with architecture
level set for z16, but run on an older machine. (See dl-hwcap-check.h)
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
ideal. Particularly x86_64 this change both saves code size and
may save instruction cost.
Full xcheck passes on x86_64.
The count can be zero if an object has already been loaded as
an indirect dependency (so that l_searchlist.r_list in its link

Went with version >= 11.0 since it covers most of the major features
and should be pretty universally accessibly.
There are some issues:
1. indention of preprocessor directives:
Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a switch for a seperate
'IndentWidth' for preprocessor directives vs. normal code so we
are stuck either not indenting the directives or over-indenting
them. i.e:
Desired:
```
#ifndef A
# define B
#endif
```
Options:
```
#ifndef A
# define B /* Two spaces instead of one. */
#endif
#ifndef C
#define D /* No spaces. */
#endif
```
Chose to over-indent as it generally seems easier to script
halving all pre-processor indentations than counting the nested
depth and indenting from scratch.
2. concatenation of lines missing semi-colons:
Throughout glibc there are macros used to setup aliasing that are
outside of functions and don't end in semi-colons i.e:
```
libc_hidden_def (__pthread_self)
weak_alias (__pthread_self, pthread_self)
```
clang-format reformats lines like these to:
```
libc_hidden_def (__pthread_self) weak_alias (__pthread_self, pthread_self)
```
which is generally undesirable.
Other than those two big concerns there are certainly some questions
diffs but for the most part it creates a easy to read and consistent
style.

The 32-bit and 64-bit variants of RISC-V share the same name - "RISC-V"
- when generating the libm error table for the info pages. This
collision, and the way how the table is generated, mean that the values
in the final table for "RISC-V" may be either for the 32- or 64-bit
variant, with no indication as to which.
As an additional side-effect, this makes the build non-reproducible, as
the error table generated is dependent upon the host filesystem
implementation.
To solve this issue, the libm-test-ulps-name files for both variants
have been modified to include their word size, so as to remove the
collision and provide more accurate information in the table.
An alternative proposed was to merge the two variants' ULP values into a
single file, but this would mean that information about error values is
lost, as the two variants are not identical. Some differences are
considerable, notably the values for the exp() function are large.

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.

libgcc ifunc resolvers that access hwcap via a field in the tcb can't
be called until the thread pointer is set up. Other ifunc resolvers
might need access to at_platform. This patch sets up a fake thread
pointer early to a copy of tcbhead_t. hwcapinfo.c already had local
variables for hwcap and at_platform, replace them with an entire
tcbhead_t. It's not that large and this way we easily ensure hwcap
and at_platform are at the same relative offsets as they are in the
real thread block.
The patch also conditionally disables part of tst-tlsifunc-static,
"bar address read from IFUNC resolver is incorrect". We can't get a
proper address for a thread variable before glibc initialises tls.

The PowerPC64 linker edits medium model toc-indirect code to toc-pointer
relative:
addis r9,r2,tc_entry_for_var@toc@ha
ld r9,tc_entry_for_var@toc@l(r9)
becomes
addis r9,r2,(var-.TOC.)@ha
addi r9,r9,(var-.TOC.)@l
when "var" is known to be local to the binary. This isn't done for
small-model toc-indirect code, because "var" is almost guaranteed to
be too far away from .TOC. for a 16-bit signed offset. And, because
the analysis of which .toc entry can be removed becomes much more
complicated in objects that mix code models, they aren't removed if
any small-model toc sequence appears in an object file.
Unfortunately, glibc's build of ld.so smashes the needed objects
together in a ld -r linking stage. This means the GOT/TOC is left
with a whole lot of relative relocations which is untidy, but in
itself is not a serious problem. However, static-pie on powerpc64
bombs due to a segfault caused by one of the small-model accesses
before _dl_relocate_static_pie. (The very first one in rcrt1.o
passing start_addresses in r8 to __libc_start_main.)
So this patch makes all the toc/got accesses in assembly medium code
model, and a couple of functions hidden. By itself this is not
enough to give us working static-pie, but it is useful in isolation to
enable better linker optimisation.
There's a serious problem in libgcc too. libgcc ifuncs access the
AT_HWCAP words stored in the tcb with an offset from the thread
pointer (r13), but r13 isn't set at the time _dl_relocate_static_pie.
A followup patch will fix that.

Compilers may decide to put the rfv variable in .data rather than on
the stack. It's slightly better to put it in .data.rel.ro.local

If glibc is configured with --disable-default-pie and build on
s390 with -O3, the tests elf/tst-audit25a and elf/tst-audit25b are
failing as there are additional la_symbind lines for free and malloc.
It turns out that those belong to the executable. In fact those are
the PLT-stubs. Furthermore la_symbind is also called for calloc and
realloc symbols, but those belong to libc.
Those functions are not called at all, but dlsym'ed in
elf/dl-minimal.c:
__rtld_malloc_init_real (struct link_map *main_map)
{
...
void *new_calloc = lookup_malloc_symbol (main_map, "calloc", &version);
void *new_free = lookup_malloc_symbol (main_map, "free", &version);
void *new_malloc = lookup_malloc_symbol (main_map, "malloc", &version);
void *new_realloc = lookup_malloc_symbol (main_map, "realloc", &version);
...
}
Therefore, this commit just ignored symbols with LA_SYMB_DLSYM flag.

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.

If the build itself is run in a container, we may not be able to
fully set up a nested container for test-container testing.
Notably is the mounting of /proc, since it's critical that it
be mounted from within the same PID namespace as its users, and
thus cannot be bind mounted from outside the container like other
mounts.
This patch defaults to using the parent's PID namespace instead of
creating a new one, as this is more likely to be allowed.
If the test needs an isolated PID namespace, it should add the "pidns"
command to its init script.
