The _dl_non_dynamic_init does not parse LD_PROFILE, which does not

The sparc ABI has multiple cases on how to handle JMP_SLOT relocations,
(sparc_fixup_plt/sparc64_fixup_plt). For BINDNOW, _dl_audit_symbind
will be responsible to setup the final relocation value; while for
lazy binding _dl_fixup/_dl_profile_fixup will call the audit callback
and tail cail elf_machine_fixup_plt (which will call
sparc64_fixup_plt).
This patch fixes by issuing the SPARC specific routine on bindnow and

vfprintf is entangled with vfwprintf (of course), __printf_fp,
__printf_fphex, __vstrfmon_l_internal, and the strfrom family of
functions. The latter use the internal snprintf functionality,
so vsnprintf is converted as well.
The simples conversion is __printf_fphex, followed by
__vstrfmon_l_internal and __printf_fp, and finally
__vfprintf_internal and __vfwprintf_internal. __vsnprintf_internal
and strfrom* are mostly consuming the new interfaces, so they
are comparatively simple.
__printf_fp is a public symbol, so the FILE *-based interface
had to preserved.
The __printf_fp rewrite does not change the actual binary-to-decimal
conversion algorithm, and digits are still not emitted directly to
the target buffer. However, the staging buffer now uses bytes
instead of wide characters, and one buffer copy is eliminated.
The changes are at least performance-neutral in my testing.
Floating point printing and snprintf improved measurably, so that
this Lua script
for i=1,5000000 do
print(i, i * math.pi)
end
runs about 5% faster for me. To preserve fprintf performance for
a simple "%d" format, this commit has some logic changes under
LABEL (unsigned_number) to avoid additional function calls. There
are certainly some very easy performance improvements here: binary,
octal and hexadecimal formatting can easily avoid the temporary work
buffer (the number of digits can be computed ahead-of-time using one
of the __builtin_clz* built-ins). Decimal formatting can use a
specialized version of _itoa_word for base 10.
The existing (inconsistent) width handling between strfmon and printf
is preserved here. __print_fp_buffer_1 would have to use
__translated_number_width to achieve ISO conformance for printf.
Test expectations in libio/tst-vtables-common.c are adjusted because
the internal staging buffer merges all virtual function calls into
one.
In general, stack buffer usage is greatly reduced, particularly for
unbuffered input streams. __printf_fp can still use a large buffer
in binary128 mode for %g, though.

The builtin bswap is already used if optimziation is enabled for
GCC 4.8+, so glibc symbols will be used in a very limited scenarios.
Also, gcc generated code is quite similar to all but ia64 and i386
htons.
Checked on alpha, i686, and ia64.
GCC 13 adds support for _FloatN and _FloatNx types in C++, so breaking
the installed glibc headers that assume such support is not present.
GCC mostly works around this with fixincludes, but that doesn't help
for building glibc and its tests (glibc doesn't itself contain C++
code, but there's C++ code built for tests). Update glibc's
bits/floatn-common.h and bits/floatn.h headers to handle the GCC 13
support directly.
In general the changes match those made by fixincludes, though I think
the ones in sysdeps/powerpc/bits/floatn.h, where the header tests
__LDBL_MANT_DIG__ == 113 or uses #elif, wouldn't match the existing
fixincludes patterns.
Some places involving special C++ handling in relation to _FloatN
support are not changed. There's no need to change the
__HAVE_FLOATN_NOT_TYPEDEF definition (also in a form that wouldn't be
matched by the fixincludes fixes) because it's only used in relation
to macro definitions using features not supported for C++
(__builtin_types_compatible_p and _Generic). And there's no need to
change the inline function overloads for issignaling, iszero and
iscanonical in C++ because cases where types have the same format but
are no longer compatible types are handled automatically by the C++
overload resolution rules.
This patch also does not change the overload handling for iseqsig, and
there I think changes *are* needed, beyond those in this patch or made
by fixincludes. The way that overload is defined, via a template
parameter to a structure type, requires overloads whenever the types
are incompatible, even if they have the same format. So I think we
need to add overloads with GCC 13 for every supported _FloatN and
_FloatNx type, rather than just having one for _Float128 when it has a
different ABI to long double as at present (but for older GCC, such
overloads must not be defined for types that end up defined as
typedefs for another type).

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").

This commit adds support for __memcmpeq() as a new ABI for all
targets. In this commit __memcmpeq() is implemented only as an alias
to the corresponding targets memcmp() implementation. __memcmpeq() is
added as a new symbol starting with GLIBC_2.35 and defined in string.h
with comments explaining its behavior. Basic tests that it is callable
and works where added in string/tester.c
As discussed in the proposal "Add new ABI '__memcmpeq()' to libc"
__memcmpeq() is essentially a reserved namespace for bcmp(). The means
is shares the same specifications as memcmp() except the return value
for non-equal byte sequences is any non-zero value. This is less
strict than memcmp()'s return value specification and can be better
optimized when a boolean return is all that is needed.
__memcmpeq() is meant to only be called by compilers if they can prove
that the return value of a memcmp() call is only used for its boolean
value.
All tests in string/tester.c passed. As well build succeeds on
x86_64-linux-gnu target.
The 4af6982e4c fix does not fully handle RTLD_BOOTSTRAP usage on
rtld.c due two issues:
1. RTLD_BOOTSTRAP is also used on dl-machine.h on various
architectures and it changes the semantics of various machine
relocation functions.
2. The elf_get_dynamic_info() change was done sideways, previously
to 490e6c62aa get-dynamic-info.h was included by the first
dynamic-link.h include *without* RTLD_BOOTSTRAP being defined.
It means that the code within elf_get_dynamic_info() that uses
RTLD_BOOTSTRAP is in fact unused.
To fix 1. this patch now includes dynamic-link.h only once with
RTLD_BOOTSTRAP defined. The ELF_DYNAMIC_RELOCATE call will now have
the relocation fnctions with the expected semantics for the loader.
And to fix 2. part of 4af6982e4c is reverted (the check argument
elf_get_dynamic_info() is not required) and the RTLD_BOOTSTRAP
pieces are removed.
To reorganize the includes the static TLS definition is moved to
its own header to avoid a circular dependency (it is defined on
dynamic-link.h and dl-machine.h requires it at same time other
dynamic-link.h definition requires dl-machine.h defitions).
Also ELF_MACHINE_NO_REL, ELF_MACHINE_NO_RELA, and ELF_MACHINE_PLT_REL
are moved to its own header. Only ancient ABIs need special values
(arm, i386, and mips), so a generic one is used as default.
The powerpc Elf64_FuncDesc is also moved to its own header, since
csu code required its definition (which would require either include
elf/ folder or add a full path with elf/).

Future simplification:
* If mips elf_machine_runtime_setup no longer needs RESOLVE_GOTSYM,
elf_machine_runtime_setup can drop the `scope` parameter.
* If TLSDESC no longer need to be in elf_machine_lazy_rel,

narrowing fma. The tests in libm-test-narrow-fma.inc also follow
those for non-narrowing fma.
The non-narrowing fma has a known bug (bug 6801) that it does not set
errno on errors (overflow, underflow, Inf * 0, Inf - Inf). Rather
than fixing this or having narrowing fma check for errors when
non-narrowing does not (complicating the cases when narrowing fma can
otherwise be an alias for a non-narrowing function), this patch does
not attempt to check for errors from narrowing fma and set errno; the
CHECK_NARROW_FMA macro is still present, but as a placeholder that
does nothing, and this missing errno setting is considered to be
covered by the existing bug rather than needing a separate open bug.
missing-errno annotations are duly added to many of the
auto-libm-test-in test inputs for fma.

name for that entry point was e.g. f32xaddf64, not reserved by TS

And replace the generic algorithm with the Brian Kernighan's one.
GCC optimize it with popcnt if the architecture supports, so there
is no need to add the extra POPCNT define to enable it.
This is really a micro-optimization that only adds complexity:
recent ABIs already support it (x86-64-v2 or power64le) and it
simplifies the code for internal usage, since i686 does not allow an
internal iFUNC call.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, and
powerpc64le-linux-gnu.
