POSIX.1-2024 (now official) specifies tm_gmtoff and tm_zone.
This is a good time to update the manual’s “Date and Time”
chapter so I went through it, fixed some outdated
stuff that had been in there for decades, and improved it to match
POSIX.1-2024 better and to clarify some implementation-defined
behavior. Glibc already conforms to POSIX.1-2024 in these matters, so
this is merely a documentation change.
* manual/examples/strftim.c: Use snprintf instead of now-deprecated
function asctime. Check for localtime failure. Simplify by using
puts instead of fputs. Prefer ‘buf, sizeof buf’ to less-obvious
‘buffer, SIZE’.
* manual/examples/timespec_subtract.c: Modernize to use struct
timespec not struct timeval, and rename from timeval_subtract.c.
All uses changed. Check for overflow. Do not check for negative
return value, which ought to be OK since negative time_t is OK.
Use GNU indenting style.
* manual/time.texi:
Document CLOCKS_PER_SEC, TIME_UTC, timespec_get, timespec_getres,
strftime_l.
Document the storage lifetime of tm_zone and of tzname.
Caution against use of tzname, timezone and daylight, saying that
these variables have unspecified values when TZ is geographic.
This is what glibc actually does (contrary to what the manual said
before this patch), and POSIX is planned to say the same thing
<https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1816>.
Also say that directly accessing the variables is not thread-safe.
Say that localtime_r and ctime_r don’t necessarily set time zone
state. Similarly, in the tzset documentation, say that it is called
by ctime, localtime, mktime, strftime, not that it is called by all
time conversion functions that depend on the time zone.
Say that tm_isdst is useful mostly just for mktime, and that
other uses should prefer tm_gmtoff and tm_zone instead.
Do not say that strftime ignores tm_gmtoff and tm_zone, because
it doesn’t do that.
Document what gmtime does to tm_gmtoff and tm_zone.
Say that the asctime, asctime_r, ctime, and ctime_r are now deprecated
and/or obsolescent, and that behavior is undefined if the year is <
1000 or > 9999. Document strftime before these now-obsolescent
functions, so that readers see the useful function first.
Coin the terms “geographical format” and “proleptic format” for the
two main formats of TZ settings, to simplify exposition. Use this
wording consistently.
Update top-level proleptic syntax to match POSIX.1-2024, which glibc
already implements. Document the angle-bracket quoted forms of time
zone abbreviations in proleptic TZ. Say that time zone abbreviations
can contain only ASCII alphanumerics, ‘+’, and ‘-’.
Document what happens if the proleptic form specifies a DST
abbreviation and offset but omits the rules. POSIX says this is
implementation-defined so we need to document it. Although this
documentation mentions ‘posixrules’ tersely, we need to rethink
‘posixrules’ since I think it stops working after 2038.
Clarify wording about TZ settings beginning with ‘;’.
Say that timegm is in ISO C (as of C23).
Say that POSIX.1-2024 removed gettimeofday.
Say that tm_gmtoff and tm_zone are extensions to ISO C, which is
clearer than saying they are invisible in a struct ISO C enviroment,
and gives us more wiggle room if we want to make them visible in
strict ISO C, something that ISO C allows.
Drop mention of old standards like POSIX.1c and POSIX.2-1992 in the
text when the history is so old that it’s no longer useful in a
general-purpose manual.
Define Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), time zone, time zone ruleset,
and POSIX Epoch, and use these phrases more consistently.
Improve TZ examples to show more variety, and to reflect current
practice and timestamps. Remove obsolete example about Argentina.
Add an example for Ireland.
Don’t rely on GCC extensions when explaining ctime_r.
Do not say that difftime produces the mathematically correct result,
since it might be inexact.
For clock_t don’t say “as in the example above” when there is no
such example, and don’t say that casting to double works “properly
and consistently no matter what”, as it suffers from rounding and
overflow.
Don’t say broken-down time is not useful for calculations; it’s
merely painful.
Say that UTC is not defined before 1960.
Rename Time Zone Functions to Time Zone State. All uses changed.
Update Internet RFC 822 → 5322, 1305 → 5905. Drop specific years of
ISO 8601 as they don’t matter.
Minor style changes: @code{"..."} → @t{"..."} to avoid overquoting in
info files, @code → @env for environment variables, Daylight Saving
Time → daylight saving time, white space → whitespace, prime meridian
→ Prime Meridian.
When we don't want to use non-temporal stores for memset, we set
`x86_memset_non_temporal_threshold` to SIZE_MAX.
The current code, however, we using `maximum_non_temporal_threshold`
as the upper bound which is `SIZE_MAX >> 4` so we ended up with a
value of `0`.
Fix is to just use `SIZE_MAX` as the upper bound for when setting the
tunable.

Sort tunables list at the time it's generated. Note: adding new
tunables will cause other tunable IDs to change, but that was
the case before anyway. POSIX does not guarantee the order of "foo
in bar" AWK operators, so the order was indeterminate before anyway.
Even depending on the order to be the same across multiple calls,
such as in this script, is undefined, so sorting the list resolves
that also.
Note that sorting is not dependent on the user's locale.
The __stack_prot is used by Linux to make the stack executable if
a modules requires it. It is also marked as RELRO, which requires
to change the segment permission to RW to update it.
Also, there is no need to keep track of the flags: either the stack
will have the default permission of the ABI or should be change to
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC. The only additional flag,
PROT_GROWSDOWN or PROT_GROWSUP, is Linux only and can be deducted
from _STACK_GROWS_DOWN/_STACK_GROWS_UP.

difftime can signal an inexact conversion when converting to double,
so it should not be marked as pure or nothrow (BZ 31808).
Although we could do something more complicated, in which difftime is
plain on modern platforms but const and nothrow on obsolescent
platforms with 32-bit time_t, it hardly seems worth the trouble.
difftime is used so rarely that it's not worth taking pains to
optimize calls to it on obsolescent platforms.

The test aims to ensure that malloc uses the alternate path to
allocate memory when sbrk() or brk() fails.To achieve this,
the test first creates an obstruction at current program break,
tests that obstruction with a failing sbrk(), then checks if malloc
is still returning a valid ptr thus inferring that malloc() used
mmap() instead of brk() or sbrk() to allocate the memory.

Previously we use `rep stosb` for all medium/large memsets. This is
notably worse than non-temporal stores for large (above a
few MBs) memsets.
See:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1opzukzvum4n6-RUVHTGddV6RjAEil4P2uMjjQGLbLcU/edit?usp=sharing
For data using different stategies for large memset on ICX and SKX.
Using non-temporal stores can be up to 3x faster on ICX and 2x faster
on SKX. Historically, these numbers would not have been so good
because of the zero-over-zero writeback optimization that `rep stosb`
is able to do. But, the zero-over-zero writeback optimization has been
removed as a potential side-channel attack, so there is no longer any
good reason to only rely on `rep stosb` for large memsets. On the flip
size, non-temporal writes can avoid data in their RFO requests saving
memory bandwidth.
All of the other changes to the file are to re-organize the
code-blocks to maintain "good" alignment given the new code added in
the `L(stosb_local)` case.
The results from running the GLIBC memset benchmarks on TGL-client for
N=20 runs:
Geometric Mean across the suite New / Old EXEX256: 0.979
Geometric Mean across the suite New / Old EXEX512: 0.979
Geometric Mean across the suite New / Old AVX2 : 0.986
Geometric Mean across the suite New / Old SSE2 : 0.979
Most of the cases are essentially unchanged, this is mostly to show
that adding the non-temporal case didn't add any regressions to the
other cases.
The results on the memset-large benchmark suite on TGL-client for N=20
runs:
Geometric Mean across the suite New / Old EXEX256: 0.926
Geometric Mean across the suite New / Old EXEX512: 0.925
Geometric Mean across the suite New / Old AVX2 : 0.928
Geometric Mean across the suite New / Old SSE2 : 0.924
So roughly a 7.5% speedup. This is lower than what we see on servers
(likely because clients typically have faster single-core bandwidth so
saving bandwidth on RFOs is less impactful), but still advantageous.
Full test-suite passes on x86_64 w/ and w/o multiarch.
