The lower-bound (16448) and upper-bound (SIZE_MAX / 16) are assumed
by memmove-vec-unaligned-erms.
The lower-bound is needed because memmove-vec-unaligned-erms unrolls
the loop aggressively in the L(large_memset_4x) case.
The upper-bound is needed because memmove-vec-unaligned-erms
right-shifts the value of `x86_non_temporal_threshold` by
LOG_4X_MEMCPY_THRESH (4) which without a bound may overflow.
The lack of lower-bound can be a correctness issue. The lack of
upper-bound cannot.
If an executable has copy relocations for extern protected data, that
can only work if the library containing the definition is built with
assumptions (a) the compiler emits GOT-generating relocations (b) the
linker produces R_*_GLOB_DAT instead of R_*_RELATIVE. Otherwise the
library uses its own definition directly and the executable accesses a
stale copy. Note: the GOT relocations defeat the purpose of protected
visibility as an optimization, but allow rtld to make the executable and
library use the same copy when copy relocations are present, but it
turns out this never worked perfectly.
ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA has strange semantics when both
a.so and b.so define protected var and the executable copy relocates
var: b.so accesses its own copy even with GLOB_DAT. The behavior change
is from commit 62da1e3b00 (x86) and then
copied to nios2 (ae5eae7cfc) and arc
(0e7d930c4c).
Without ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA, b.so accesses the copy
relocated data like a.so.
There is now a warning for copy relocation on protected symbol since
commit 7374c02b68. It's extremely
unlikely anyone relies on the ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA
behavior, so let's remove it: this removes a check in the symbol lookup
code.
This has been missing since the the ifuncs where added.

Move the setting of `rep_movsb_stop_threshold` to after the tunables
have been collected so that the `rep_movsb_stop_threshold` (which
is used to redirect control flow to the non_temporal case) will
use any user value for `non_temporal_threshold` (set using
glibc.cpu.x86_non_temporal_threshold)
Refine commit 349b0441da:
1. Copy relocations for extern protected data do not work properly,
regardless whether GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS is used.
It makes sense to produce a warning unconditionally.
2. Non-zero value of an undefined function symbol may break pointer
equality, but may be benign in many cases (many programs don't take the
address in the shared object then compare it with the address in the
executable). Reword the diagnostic to be clearer.
3. Remove the unneeded condition !(undef_map->l_1_needed &
GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS). If the executable does
not not have GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS (can only
occur in error cases), the diagnostic should be emitted as well.
When the defining shared object has
GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS, report an error to apply
the intended enforcement.

This patch tells the compiler that inend is always behind inptr which
avoids the warning. Note that the SINGLE function is only used to
implement the mb*towc*() or wc*tomb*() functions. Those functions use
inptr and inend pointing to a variable on stack, compute the inend pointer
or explicitly check the arguments which always leads to inptr < inend.

x86: Shrink code size of memchr-avx2.S
Changed how the page cross case aligned string (rdi) in
rawmemchr. This was incompatible with how
`L(cross_page_continue)` expected the pointer to be aligned and
would cause rawmemchr to read data start started before the
beginning of the string. What it would read was in valid memory
but could count CHAR matches resulting in an incorrect return
value.
This commit fixes that issue by essentially reverting the changes to
the L(page_cross) case as they didn't really matter.
Test cases added and all pass with the new code (and where confirmed
to fail with the old code).

Some nptl tests inadvertently use the host's gdb to verify
libthread_db.so, which is loaded with the host's runtime. This causes
a couple of test failures when the host glibc does not support DT_RELR.
The not correct, but simple, workaround is to build without DT_RELR
as this library is otherwise likely to load on glibc 2.17 and newer
today.
This allows tst-pthread-gdb-attach{,-static} to continue working
when testing on a gdb loaded with an older glibc.
This avoids a failure in tst-pthread-gdb-attach similar to:
Trying host libthread_db library: .../build/glibc/nptl_db/libthread_db.so.1.

generally performance improvement in the other far more common
cases.
2. There are some regressions 5-15% for medium/large user-arg
lengths that have a match in the first VEC. This is because the
logic was rewritten to optimize finds in the first VEC if the
user-arg length is shorter (where we see roughly 20-50%
performance improvements). It is not always the case this is a
regression. My intuition is some frontend quirk is partially
explaining the data although I haven't been able to find the

Add an initial SVE memcpy implementation. Copies up to 32 bytes use SVE
vectors which improves the random memcpy benchmark significantly.
Cleanup the memcpy and memmove ifunc selectors.
Adding a 512-bit EVEX version of strstr. The algorithm works as follows:
(1) We spend a few cycles at the begining to peek into the needle. We
locate an edge in the needle (first occurance of 2 consequent distinct
characters) and also store the first 64-bytes into a zmm register.
(2) We search for the edge in the haystack by looking into one cache
line of the haystack at a time. This avoids having to read past a page
boundary which can cause a seg fault.
(3) If an edge is found in the haystack we first compare the first
64-bytes of the needle (already stored in a zmm register) before we
proceed with a full string compare performed byte by byte.
