This patch provides new __timer_settime64 explicit 64 bit function for setting
flags, interval and value of specified timer.
Moreover, a 32 bit version - __timer_settime has been refactored to internally
use __timer_settime64.
The __timer_settime is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting 32
bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary conversion to 64 bit struct
__timespec64 from struct timespec (and opposite when old_value pointer is
provided).
The new __timer_settime64 syscall available from Linux 5.1+ has been used, when
applicable.
The original INLINE_SYSCALL() macro has been replaced with
INLINE_SYSCALL_CALL() to avoid explicit passing the number of arguments.

This patch updates the kernel version in the test tst-mman-consts.py
to 5.4. (There are no new constants covered by this test in 5.4 that
need any other header changes.)
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
Linux 5.4 changes the SOMAXCONN value from 128 to 4096 (this isn't in
a uapi header; various constants related to the kernel/userspace
interface, including this one, are in the non-uapi linux/socket.h
header).
This patch increases the value in glibc. As I understand it, it is
safe to use a higher value even with older kernels (the kernel will
simply adjust the value passed to listen to be no more than the value
supported in the kernel), and SOMAXCONN is actually only a default for
a sysctl value in the kernel that can be changed at runtime. So I
think updating the value in glibc is a reasonable and safe thing to
do.
Tested for x86_64.
This patch updates syscall-names.list for Linux 5.4. There are no new
syscalls, so this is just a matter of updating the version number

This patch adds a new generic __pthread_rwlock_arch_t definition meant
to be used by new ports. Its layout mimics the current usage on some
64 bits ports and it allows some ports to use the generic definition.
The arch __pthread_rwlock_arch_t definition is moved from
pthreadtypes-arch.h to another arch-specific header (struct_rwlock.h).
Also the static intialization macro for pthread_rwlock_t is set to use
an arch defined on (__PTHREAD_RWLOCK_INITIALIZER) which simplifies its
implementation.
The default pthread_rwlock_t layout differs from current ports with:
1. Internal layout is the same for 32 bits and 64 bits.
2. Internal flag is an unsigned short so it should not required
additional padding to align for word boundary (if it is the case
for the ABI).

The current way of defining the common mutex definition for POSIX and
C11 on pthreadtypes-arch.h (added by commit 06be6368da) is
not really the best options for newer ports. It requires define some
misleading flags that should be always defined as 0
(__PTHREAD_COMPAT_PADDING_MID and __PTHREAD_COMPAT_PADDING_END), it
exposes options used solely for linuxthreads compat mode
(__PTHREAD_MUTEX_USE_UNION and __PTHREAD_MUTEX_NUSERS_AFTER_KIND), and
requires newer ports to explicit define them (adding more boilerplate
code).
This patch adds a new default __pthread_mutex_s definition meant to
be used by newer ports. Its layout mimics the current usage on both
32 and 64 bits ports and it allows most ports to use the generic
definition. Only ports that use some arch-specific definition (such
as hardware lock-elision or linuxthreads compat) requires specific
headers.
For 32 bit, the generic definitions mimic the other 32-bit ports
of using an union to define the fields uses on adaptive and robust
mutexes (thus not allowing both usage at same time) and by using a
single linked-list for robust mutexes. Both decisions seemed to
follow what recent ports have done and make the resulting
pthread_mutex_t/mtx_t object smaller.
Also the static intialization macro for pthread_mutex_t is set to use
a macro __PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER where the architecture can redefine
in its struct_mutex.h if it requires additional fields to be
initialized.

The generic pselect implementation has the very specific race condition
that motived the creation of the pselect syscall (no atomicity in
signal mask set/reset). Using it as generic implementation is
counterproductive Also currently only microblaze uses it as fallback
when used on kernel prior 3.15.
This patch moves the generic implementation to a microblaze specific
one, sets the generic internal as a ENOSYS, and cleanups the Linux
generic implementation.
The microblaze implementation mimics the previous Linux generic one,
where it either uses pselect6 directly if __ASSUME_PSELECT or a
first try pselect6 then the fallback otherwise.

Consolidate generic gettimeofday implementation to use clock_gettime.
Linux ports that still provide gettimeofday through vDSO are not

Remove sysdeps/unix/clock_gettime.c, which implemented clock_gettime
using gettimeofday; new OS ports must provide a real implementation of
clock_gettime.
Rename sysdeps/mach/gettimeofday.c to sysdeps/mach/clock_gettime.c and
convert into an implementation of clock_gettime. It only supports
CLOCK_REALTIME; Mach does not appear to have any support for monotonic
clocks. It uses __host_get_time, which provides at best microsecond
resolution. Hurd is currently using sysdeps/posix/clock_getres.c for
clock_getres; its output for CLOCK_REALTIME is based on
sysconf (_SC_CLK_TCK), and I do not know whether that gives the
correct result.
Unlike settimeofday, there are no known uses of gettimeofday's
vestigial "get time zone" feature that are not bugs. (The per-process
timezone support in localtime and friends is unrelated, and the
programs that set the kernel's offset between the hardware clock and
UTC do not need to read it back.) Therefore, this feature is dummied
out. Henceforth, if gettimeofday's "struct timezone" argument is not
NULL, it will write zeroes to both fields. Any program that is
actually looking at this data will thus think it is running in UTC,
which is probably more correct than whatever it was doing before.
[__]gettimeofday no longer has any internal callers, so we can now
remove its internal prototype and PLT bypass aliases. The
__gettimeofday@GLIBC_2.0 export remains, in case it is used by any
third-party code.
It also allows to simplify the arch-specific implementation on x86 and
powerpc to remove the hack to disable the internal route to non iFUNC
variant for internal symbol.
This patch also fixes a missing optimization on aarch64, powerpc, and

ftime is an obsolete variation on gettimeofday, offering only
millisecond time resolution; it was probably a system call in ooold
versions of BSD Unix. For historic reasons, we had three
implementations of it. These are all consolidated into time/ftime.c,
and then the function is deprecated.
For some reason, the implementation of ftime in terms of gettimeofday
was rounding rather than truncating microseconds to milliseconds. In
all the other places where we use a higher-resolution time function to
implement a lower-resolution one, we truncate. ftime is changed to
match, just for tidiness' sake.
Like gettimeofday, ftime tries to report the time zone, and using that
information is always a bug. This patch dummies out the reported
timezone information; the timezone and dstflag fields of the

As for gettimeofday, time will be implemented based on clock_gettime
on all platforms and internal code should use clock_gettime
directly. In addition to removing a layer of indirection, this will
allow us to remove the PLT-bypass gunk for gettimeofday.
The changed code always assumes __clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME)
or __clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE) (for Linux case) cannot
fail, using the same rationale for gettimeofday change. And internal
helper was added (time_now).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
powerpc64-linux-gnu, and powerpc-linux-gnu.

Change the default implementation of time to call clock_gettime,
to align with new Linux ports that are expected to only implement
__NR_clock_gettime. Arch-specific implementation that either call
the time vDSO or route to gettimeofday vDSO are not removed.
Also for Linux, CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE is used instead of generic
CLOCK_REALTIME clockid. This takes less CPU time and its behavior
better matches what the current glibc does.

Unconditionally, on all ports, use clock_settime to implement
settimeofday. Remove sysdeps/unix/clock_settime.c, which implemented
clock_settime by calling settimeofday; new OS ports must henceforth
provide a real implementation of clock_settime.
Hurd had a real implementation of settimeofday but not of
clock_settime; this patch converts it into an implementation of
clock_settime. It only supports CLOCK_REALTIME and microsecond
resolution; Hurd/Mach does not appear to have any support for
finer-resolution clocks.
The vestigial "set time zone" feature of settimeofday complicates the
generic settimeofday implementation a little. The only remaining uses
of this feature that aren't just bugs, are using it to inform the
Linux kernel of the offset between the hardware clock and UTC, on
systems where the hardware clock doesn't run in UTC (usually because
of dual-booting with Windows). There currently isn't any other way to
do this. However, the callers that do this call settimeofday with
_only_ the timezone argument non-NULL. Therefore, glibc's new
behavior is: callers of settimeofday must supply one and only one of
the two arguments. If both arguments are non-NULL, or both arguments
are NULL, the call fails and sets errno to EINVAL.
When only the timeval argument is supplied, settimeofday calls
__clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME), same as stime.
When only the timezone argument is supplied, settimeofday calls a new
internal function called __settimezone. On Linux, only, this function
will pass the timezone structure to the settimeofday system call. On
all other operating systems, and on Linux architectures that don't
define __NR_settimeofday, __settimezone is a stub that always sets
errno to ENOSYS and returns -1.
The settimeoday syscall is enabled on Linux by the flag
COMPAT_32BIT_TIME, which is an option to either 32-bits ABIs or COMPAT
builds (defined usually by 64-bit kernels that want to support 32-bit
ABIs, such as x86). The idea to future 64-bit time_t only ABIs
is to not provide settimeofday syscall.
The same semantics are implemented for Linux/Alpha's GLIBC_2.0 compat
symbol for settimeofday.
There are no longer any internal callers of __settimeofday, so the
internal prototype is removed.

Linux/Alpha has two versions of several system call wrappers that take
or return data of type "struct timeval" (possibly nested inside a
larger structure). The GLIBC_2.0 version is a compat symbol that
calls __NR_osf_foo or __NR_old_foo and uses a struct timeval with a
32-bit tv_sec field. The GLIBC_2.1 version is used for current code,
calls __NR_foo, and uses a struct timeval with a 64-bit tv_sec field.
This patch changes all of the compat symbols of this type to be
wrappers around their GLIBC_2.1 counterparts; the compatibility system
calls will no longer be used. It serves as a proposal for part of how
we do the transition to 64-bit time_t on systems that currently use
32-bit time_t:
* The patched glibc will NOT use system calls that involve 32-bit
time_t to implement its compatibility symbols. This will make both
our lives and the kernel maintainers' lives easier. The primary
argument I've seen against it is that the kernel could warn about
uses of the old system calls, helping people find old binaries that
need to be recompiled. I think there are several other ways we
could accomplish this, e.g. scripts to scan the filesystem for
binaries with references to the old symbol versions, or issuing
diagnostics ourselves.
* The compat symbols do NOT report failure after the Y2038 deadline.
An earlier revision of this patch had them return -1 and set errno
to EOVERFLOW, but Adhemerval pointed out that many of them have
already performed side effects at the point where we discover the
overflow, so that would break more than it fixes. Also, we don't
want people to be _checking_ for EOVERFLOW from these functions; we
want them to recompile with 64-bit time_t. So it's not actually
useful for them to report failure to the calling code.
* What they do do, when they encounter overflow, is saturate the
overflowed "struct timeval"(s): tv_sec is set to INT32_MAX and
tv_nsec is set to 999999. That means time stops advancing for
programs with 32-bit time_t when they reach the deadline. That's
obviously going to break stuff, but I think wrapping around is
probably going to break _more_ stuff. I'd be interested to hear
arguments against, if anyone has one.
The new header file tv32-compat.h is currently Alpha-specific but I
mean for it to be reused to aid in writing wrappers for all affected
architectures. I only put it in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha for now
because I haven't checked whether the various "foo32" structures it
defines agree with the ABI for ports other than Linux/Alpha.
