The clone3 flag resets all signal handlers of the child not set to
SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL. It allows to skip most of the sigaction calls
to setup child signal handling, where previously a posix_spawn
had to issue 2 times NSIG sigaction calls (one to obtain the current
disposition and another to set either SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN).
With POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF the child will setup the signal for the case
where the disposition is SIG_IGN.
The code must handle the fallback where clone3 is not available. This is
done by splitting __clone_internal_fallback from __clone_internal.

In multi-threaded programs, registering via pthread_atfork,
de-registering implicitly via dlclose, or running pthread_atfork
handlers during fork was protected by an internal lock. This meant
that a pthread_atfork handler attempting to register another handler or
dlclose a dynamically loaded library would lead to a deadlock.
This commit fixes the deadlock in the following way:
During the execution of handlers at fork time, the atfork lock is
released prior to the execution of each handler and taken again upon its
return. Any handler registrations or de-registrations that occurred
during the execution of the handler are accounted for before proceeding
with further handler execution.
If a handler that hasn't been executed yet gets de-registered by another
handler during fork, it will not be executed. If a handler gets
registered by another handler during fork, it will not be executed
during that particular fork.
The possibility that handlers may now be registered or deregistered
during handler execution means that identifying the next handler to be
run after a given handler may register/de-register others requires some
bookkeeping. The fork_handler struct has an additional field, 'id',
which is assigned sequentially during registration. Thus, handlers are
executed in ascending order of 'id' during 'prepare', and descending
order of 'id' during parent/child handler execution after the fork.
Two tests are included:
* tst-atfork3: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
This test exercises calling dlclose from prepare, parent, and child
handlers.
* tst-atfork4: This test exercises calling pthread_atfork and dlclose

Currently there is no proper way to set the controlling terminal through
posix_spawn in race free manner [1]. This forces shell implementations
to keep using fork+exec when launching background process groups,
even when using posix_spawn yields better performance.
This patch adds a new GNU extension so the creating process can
configure the created process terminal group. This is done with a new
flag, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP, along with two new attribute functions:
posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np, and posix_spawnattr_tcgetpgrp_np.
The function sets a new attribute, spawn-tcgroupfd, that references to
the controlling terminal.
The controlling terminal is set after the spawn-pgroup attribute, and
uses the spawn-tcgroupfd along with current creating process group
(so it is composable with POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP).
To create a process and set the controlling terminal, one can use the
following sequence:
posix_spawnattr_t attr;
posix_spawnattr_init (&attr);
posix_spawnattr_setflags (&attr, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP);
posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np (&attr, tcfd);
If the idea is also to create a new process groups:
posix_spawnattr_t attr;
posix_spawnattr_init (&attr);
posix_spawnattr_setflags (&attr, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP
| POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP);
posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np (&attr, tcfd);
posix_spawnattr_setpgroup (&attr, 0);
The controlling terminal file descriptor is ignored if the new flag is
not set.
This interface is slight different than the one provided by QNX [2],
which only provides the POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP flag. The QNX
documentation does not specify how the controlling terminal is obtained
nor how it iteracts with POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP. Since a glibc
implementation is library based, it is more straightforward and avoid
requires additional file descriptor operations to request the caller
to setup the controlling terminal file descriptor (and it also allows
a bit less error handling by posix_spawn).

Now that Hurd implementis both close_range and closefrom (f2c996597d),
we can make close_range() a base ABI, and make the default closefrom()
implementation on top of close_range().
The generic closefrom() implementation based on __getdtablesize() is
moved to generic close_range(). On Linux it will be overriden by
the auto-generation syscall while on Hurd it will be a system specific
implementation.
The closefrom() now calls close_range() and __closefrom_fallback().
Since on Hurd close_range() does not fail, __closefrom_fallback() is an
empty static inline function set by__ASSUME_CLOSE_RANGE.
The __ASSUME_CLOSE_RANGE also allows optimize Linux
__closefrom_fallback() implementation when --enable-kernel=5.9 or
higher is used.
Finally the Linux specific tst-close_range.c is moved to io and
enabled as default. The Linuxism and CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE are

symb_table, extra are now initialized to zero because they are passed as

This is nothing compared to the amount of work that regcomp has to do
looking up the collation weights, or other functions.
If the non-buildable `sysdeps/generic/dl-machine.h` doesn't count,
this patch removes the last `auto inline` usage from glibc.

In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3, the size expression may be non-constant,
resulting in branches in the inline functions remaining intact and
causing a tiny overhead. Clang (and in future, gcc) make sure that
the -1 case is always safe, i.e. any comparison of the generated
expression with (size_t)-1 is always false so that bit is taken care
of. The rest is avoidable since we want the _chk variant whenever we
have a size expression and it's not -1.
Rework the conditionals in a uniform way to clearly indicate two
conditions at compile time:
- Either the size is unknown (-1) or we know at compile time that the
operation length is less than the object size. We can call the
original function in this case. It could be that either the length,
object size or both are non-constant, but the compiler, through
range analysis, is able to fold the *comparison* to a constant.
- The size and length are known and the compiler can see at compile
time that operation length > object size. This is valid grounds for
a warning at compile time, followed by emitting the _chk variant.
For everything else, emit the _chk variant.
This simplifies most of the fortified function implementations and at
the same time, ensures that only one call from _chk or the regular
function is emitted.

In the context of a function definition, the size hints imply that the
size of an object pointed to by one parameter is another parameter.
This doesn't make sense for the fortified versions of the functions
since that's the bit it's trying to validate.
This is harmless with __builtin_object_size since it has fairly simple
semantics when it comes to objects passed as function parameters.
With __builtin_dynamic_object_size we could (as my patchset for gcc[1]
already does) use the access attribute to determine the object size in
the general case but it misleads the fortified functions.
Basically the problem occurs when access attributes are present on
regular functions that have inline fortified definitions to generate
_chk variants; the attributes get inherited by these definitions,
causing problems when analyzing them. For example with poll(fds, nfds,
timeout), nfds is hinted using the __attr_access as being the size of
fds.
Now, when analyzing the inline function definition in bits/poll2.h, the
compiler sees that nfds is the size of fds and tries to use that
information in the function body. In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 case, where the
object size could be a non-constant expression, this information results
in the conclusion that nfds is the size of fds, which defeats the
purpose of the implementation because we're trying to check here if nfds
does indeed represent the size of fds. Hence for this case, it is best
to not have the access attribute.
With the attributes gone, the expression evaluation should get delayed
until the function is actually inlined into its destinations.
Disable the access attribute for fortified function inline functions
when building at _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 to make this work better. The
access attributes remain for the _chk variants since they can be used
by the compiler to warn when the caller is passing invalid arguments.

The fix for bug 19329 caused a regression such that pthread_create can
deadlock when concurrent ctors from dlopen are waiting for it to finish.
Use a new GL(dl_load_tls_lock) in pthread_create that is not taken
around ctors in dlopen.
The new lock is also used in __tls_get_addr instead of GL(dl_load_lock).
The new lock is held in _dl_open_worker and _dl_close_worker around
most of the logic before/after the init/fini routines. When init/fini
routines are running then TLS is in a consistent, usable state.
In _dl_open_worker the new lock requires catching and reraising dlopen
failures that happen in the critical section.
The new lock is reinitialized in a fork child, to keep the existing
behaviour and it is kept recursive in case malloc interposition or TLS
access from signal handlers can retake it. It is not obvious if this
is necessary or helps, but avoids changing the preexisting behaviour.
The new lock may be more appropriate for dl_iterate_phdr too than
GL(dl_load_write_lock), since TLS state of an incompletely loaded
module may be accessed. If the new lock can replace the old one,
that can be a separate change.

* Use __GNULIB_CDEFS instead of __GLIBC__ when deciding
whether to include bits/wordsize.h etc.
* Avoid duplicate entries in epsilon closure table.
* New regex.h macro _REGEX_NELTS to let regexec say that its pmatch
arg should contain nmatch elts. Use that for regexec, instead of
__attr_access (which is incorrect).
* New regex.h macro _Attr_access_ which is like __attr_access except

* Add some DEBUG_ASSERTs to pacify gcc -fanalyzer and to catch

* Add Gnulib-specific stuff to port the dynarray- and lock-using parts

* Fix glibc bug 11053.
* Avoid some undefined behavior when popping an empty fail stack.
There is a GNU extension that allows to call getcwd(NULL, >0). It is
described in the documentation, but also directly in the unistd.h
header, just above the declaration.
Therefore the attribute access mode added in commit 06febd8c67
is not correct. Drop it.
We add a new C.UTF-8 locale. This locale is not builtin to glibc, but
is provided as a distinct locale. The locale provides full support for
UTF-8 and this includes full code point sorting via STRCMP-based
collation (strcmp or wcscmp).
The collation uses a new keyword 'codepoint_collation' which drops all
collation rules and generates an empty zero rules collation to enable
STRCMP usage in collation. This ensures that we get full code point
sorting for C.UTF-8 with a minimal 1406 bytes of overhead (LC_COLLATE
structure information and ASCII collating tables).
The new locale is added to SUPPORTED. Minimal test data for specific
code points (minus those not supported by collate-test) is provided in
C.UTF-8.in, and this verifies code point sorting is working reasonably
across the range. The locale was tested manually with the full set of
code points without failure.
The locale is harmonized with locales already shipping in various
downstream distributions. A new tst-iconv9 test is added which verifies
the C.UTF-8 locale is generally usable.
Testing for fnmatch, regexec, and recomp is provided by extending
bug-regex1, bugregex19, bug-regex4, bug-regex6, transbug, tst-fnmatch,
tst-regcomp-truncated, and tst-regex to use C.UTF-8.
