bf6749a7f8 nptl: Use SA_RESTART for SIGCANCEL handler
The usage of signals to implementation pthread cancellation is an
implementation detail and should not be visible through cancellation
entrypoints.

However now that pthread_cancel always send the SIGCANCEL, some
entrypoint might be interruptable and return EINTR to the caller
(for instance on sem_wait).

Using SA_RESTART hides this, since the cancellation handler should
either act uppon cancellation (if asynchronous cancellation is enable)
or ignore the cancellation internal signal.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

47f24c21ee y2038: Add support for 64-bit time on legacy ABIs
A new build flag, _TIME_BITS, enables the usage of the newer 64-bit
time symbols for legacy ABI (where 32-bit time_t is default).  The 64
bit time support is only enabled if LFS (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) is
also used.

Different than LFS support, the y2038 symbols are added only for the
required ABIs (armhf, csky, hppa, i386, m68k, microblaze, mips32,
mips64-n32, nios2, powerpc32, sparc32, s390-32, and sh).  The ABIs with
64-bit time support are unchanged, both for symbol and types
redirection.

On Linux the full 64-bit time support requires a minimum of kernel
version v5.1.  Otherwise, the 32-bit fallbacks are used and might
results in error with overflow return code (EOVERFLOW).

The i686-gnu does not yet support 64-bit time.

ebae2f5a6f Add build option to disable usage of scv on powerpc
Commit 68ab82f566 added support for the scv
syscall ABI on powerpc.  Since then systems that have kernel and processor
support started using scv.  However adding the proper support for a new syscall
ABI requires changes to several other projects (e.g. qemu, valgrind, strace,
kernel), which are gradually receiving support.

Meanwhile, having a way to disable scv on glibc at build time can be useful for
distros that may encounter conflicts with projects that still do not support the
scv ABI, buying time until proper support is added.

This commit adds a --disable-scv option that disables scv support and uses sc
for all syscalls, like before commit 68ab82f566.

858045ad1c Update floating-point feature test macro handling for C2X
ISO C2X has made some changes to the handling of feature test macros
related to features from the floating-point TSes, and to exactly what
such features are present in what headers, that require corresponding
changes in glibc.

* For the few features that were controlled by
  __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ (and the corresponding DFP macro) in
  C2X, there is now instead a new feature test macro
  __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_EXT__ covering both binary and decimal FP.
  This controls CR_DECIMAL_DIG in <float.h> (provided by GCC; I
  implemented support for the new feature test macro for GCC 11) and
  the totalorder and payload functions in <math.h>.  C2X no longer
  says anything about __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ (so it's
  appropriate for that macro to continue to enable exactly the
  features from TS 18661-1).

* The SNAN macros for each floating-point type have moved to <float.h>
  (and been renamed in the process).  Thus, the copies in <math.h>
  should only be defined for __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__, not for
  C2X.

* The fmaxmag and fminmag functions have been removed (replaced by new
  functions for the new min/max operations in IEEE 754-2019).  Thus
  those should also only be declared for
  __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__.

* The _FloatN / _FloatNx handling for the last two points in glibc is
  trickier, since __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_TYPES_EXT__ is still in C2X
  (the integration of TS 18661-3 as an Annex, that is, which hasn't
  yet been merged into the C standard git repository but has been
  accepted by WG14), so C2X with that macro should not declare some
  things that are declared for older standards with that macro.  The
  approach taken here is to provide the declarations (when
  __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_TYPES_EXT__ is enabled) only when (defined
  __USE_GNU || !__GLIBC_USE (ISOC2X)), so if C2X features are enabled
  then those declarations (that are only in TS 18661-3 and not in C2X)
  will only be provided if _GNU_SOURCE is defined as well.  Thus
  _GNU_SOURCE remains a superset of the TS features as well as of C2X.

Some other somewhat related changes in C2X are not addressed here.
There's an open proposal not to include the fmin and fmax functions
for the _FloatN / _FloatNx types, given the new min/max operations,
which could be handled like the previous point if adopted.  And the
fromfp functions have been changed to return a result in floating type
rather than intmax_t / uintmax_t; my inclination there is to treat
that like that change of totalorder type (new symbol versions etc. for
the ABI change; old versions become compat symbols and are no longer
supported as an API).

Tested for x86_64 and x86.

e5ac7bd679 Add C2X timespec_getres
ISO C2X adds a timespec_getres function alongside the C11
timespec_get, with functionality similar to that of POSIX clock_getres
(including allowing a NULL pointer to be passed to the function).
Implement this function for glibc, similarly to the implementation of
timespec_get.

This includes a basic test like that of timespec_get, but no
documentation in the manual, given that TIME_UTC and timespec_get
aren't documented in the manual at all.  The handling of 64-bit time
follows that in timespec_get; people maintaining patch series for
64-bit time will need to update them accordingly (to export
__timespec_getres64, redirect calls in time.h and run the test for
_TIME_BITS=64).

Tested for x86_64 and x86, and (previous version; only testcase
differs) with build-many-glibcs.py.

e9fed2438a linux: Require /dev/shm as the shared memory file system
Previously, glibc would pick an arbitrary tmpfs file system from
/proc/mounts if /dev/shm was not available.  This could lead to
an unsuitable file system being picked for the backing storage for
shm_open, sem_open, and related functions.

This patch introduces a new function, __shm_get_name, which builds
the file name under the appropriate (now hard-coded) directory.  It is
called from the various shm_* and sem_* function.  Unlike the
SHM_GET_NAME macro it replaces, the callers handle the return values
and errno updates.  shm-directory.c is moved directly into the posix
subdirectory because it can be implemented directly using POSIX
functionality.  It resides in libc because it is needed by both
librt and nptl/htl.

In the sem_open implementation, tmpfname is initialized directly
from a string constant.  This happens to remove one alloca call.

6c57d32048 sysconf: Add _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ/_SC_SIGSTKSZ [BZ #20305]
Add _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ for the minimum signal stack size derived from
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ, which is the minimum number of bytes of free stack
space required in order to gurantee successful, non-nested handling
of a single signal whose handler is an empty function, and _SC_SIGSTKSZ
which is the suggested minimum number of bytes of stack space required
for a signal stack.

If AT_MINSIGSTKSZ isn't available, sysconf (_SC_MINSIGSTKSZ) returns
MINSIGSTKSZ.  On Linux/x86 with XSAVE, the signal frame used by kernel
is composed of the following areas and laid out as:

 ------------------------------
 | alignment padding          |
 ------------------------------
 | xsave buffer               |
 ------------------------------
 | fsave header (32-bit only) |
 ------------------------------
 | siginfo + ucontext         |
 ------------------------------

Compute AT_MINSIGSTKSZ value as size of xsave buffer + size of fsave
header (32-bit only) + size of siginfo and ucontext + alignment padding.

If _SC_SIGSTKSZ_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ
are redefined as

/* Default stack size for a signal handler: sysconf (SC_SIGSTKSZ).  */
 # undef SIGSTKSZ
 # define SIGSTKSZ sysconf (_SC_SIGSTKSZ)

/* Minimum stack size for a signal handler: SIGSTKSZ.  */
 # undef MINSIGSTKSZ
 # define MINSIGSTKSZ SIGSTKSZ

Compilation will fail if the source assumes constant MINSIGSTKSZ or
SIGSTKSZ.

The reason for not simply increasing the kernel's MINSIGSTKSZ #define
(apart from the fact that it is rarely used, due to glibc's shadowing
definitions) was that userspace binaries will have baked in the old
value of the constant and may be making assumptions about it.

For example, the type (char [MINSIGSTKSZ]) changes if this #define
changes.  This could be a problem if an newly built library tries to
memcpy() or dump such an object defined by and old binary.
Bounds-checking and the stack sizes passed to things like sigaltstack()
and makecontext() could similarly go wrong.

c43c579612 Introduce _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3
Introduce a new _FORTIFY_SOURCE level of 3 to enable additional
fortifications that may have a noticeable performance impact, allowing
more fortification coverage at the cost of some performance.

With llvm 9.0 or later, this will replace the use of
__builtin_object_size with __builtin_dynamic_object_size.

__builtin_dynamic_object_size
-----------------------------

__builtin_dynamic_object_size is an LLVM builtin that is similar to
__builtin_object_size.  In addition to what __builtin_object_size
does, i.e. replace the builtin call with a constant object size,
__builtin_dynamic_object_size will replace the call site with an
expression that evaluates to the object size, thus expanding its
applicability.  In practice, __builtin_dynamic_object_size evaluates
these expressions through malloc/calloc calls that it can associate
with the object being evaluated.

A simple motivating example is below; -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 would miss
this and emit memcpy, but -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 with the help of
__builtin_dynamic_object_size is able to emit __memcpy_chk with the
allocation size expression passed into the function:

void *copy_obj (const void *src, size_t alloc, size_t copysize)
{
  void *obj = malloc (alloc);
  memcpy (obj, src, copysize);
  return obj;
}

Limitations
-----------

If the object was allocated elsewhere that the compiler cannot see, or
if it was allocated in the function with a function that the compiler
does not recognize as an allocator then __builtin_dynamic_object_size
also returns -1.

Further, the expression used to compute object size may be non-trivial
and may potentially incur a noticeable performance impact.  These
fortifications are hence enabled at a new _FORTIFY_SOURCE level to
allow developers to make a choice on the tradeoff according to their
environment.

f88242af19 S390: Derive float_t from FLT_EVAL_METHOD
float_t supposedly represents the type that is used to evaluate float
expressions internally. While the isa supports single-precision float
operations, the port of glibc to s390 incorrectly deferred to the
generic definitions which, back then, tied float_t to double. gcc by
default evaluates float in single precision, so that scenario violates
the C standard (sections 5.2.4.2.2 and 7.12 in C11/C17). With
-fexcess-precision=standard, gcc evaluates float in double precision,
which aligns with the standard yet at the cost of added conversion
instructions.

With this patch, we drop the s390-specific definition of float_t and
defer to the default behavior, which aligns float_t with the
compiler-defined FLT_EVAL_METHOD in a standard-compliant way.

9a99c68214 iconv: Accept redundant shift sequences in IBM1364 [BZ #26224]
The IBM1364, IBM1371, IBM1388, IBM1390 and IBM1399 character sets
share converter logic (iconvdata/ibm1364.c) which would reject
redundant shift sequences when processing input in these character
sets.  This led to a hang in the iconv program (CVE-2020-27618).

This commit adjusts the converter to ignore redundant shift sequences
and adds test cases for iconv_prog hangs that would be triggered upon
their rejection.  This brings the implementation in line with other
converters that also ignore redundant shift sequences (e.g. IBM930
etc., fixed in commit 692de4b396).

9620398097 x86: Install <sys/platform/x86.h> [BZ #26124]
Install <sys/platform/x86.h> so that programmers can do

 #if __has_include(<sys/platform/x86.h>)
 #include <sys/platform/x86.h>
 #endif
 ...

   if (CPU_FEATURE_USABLE (SSE2))
 ...
   if (CPU_FEATURE_USABLE (AVX2))
 ...

<sys/platform/x86.h> exports only:

enum
{
  COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_1 = 0,
  COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_7,
  COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_80000001,
  COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_D_ECX_1,
  COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_80000007,
  COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_80000008,
  COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_7_ECX_1,
  /* Keep the following line at the end.  */
  COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX
};

struct cpuid_features
{
  struct cpuid_registers cpuid;
  struct cpuid_registers usable;
};

struct cpu_features
{
  struct cpu_features_basic basic;
  struct cpuid_features features[COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX];
};

/* Get a pointer to the CPU features structure.  */
extern const struct cpu_features *__x86_get_cpu_features
  (unsigned int max) __attribute__ ((const));

Since all feature checks are done through macros, programs compiled with
a newer <sys/platform/x86.h> are compatible with the older glibc binaries
as long as the layout of struct cpu_features is identical.  The features
array can be expanded with backward binary compatibility for both .o and
.so files.  When COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX is increased to support new
processor features, __x86_get_cpu_features in the older glibc binaries
returns NULL and HAS_CPU_FEATURE/CPU_FEATURE_USABLE return false on the
new processor feature.  No new symbol version is neeeded.

Both CPU_FEATURE_USABLE and HAS_CPU_FEATURE are provided.  HAS_CPU_FEATURE
can be used to identify processor features.

Note: Although GCC has __builtin_cpu_supports, it only supports a subset
of <sys/platform/x86.h> and it is equivalent to CPU_FEATURE_USABLE.  It
doesn't support HAS_CPU_FEATURE.

42c9e9af22 aarch64: update NEWS about branch protection
After some discussions it seems the original news was not clear
and that it is valid to manually pass the branch protection flags
iff GCC target libs are built with them too. The main difference
between manually passing the flags and using the configure
option is that the latter also makes branch protection the
default in GCC which may not be desirable in some cases.
