In some cases (e.g QEMU, non-Intel/AMD CPU) the cache information can
not be retrieved and the corresponding values are set to 0.
Commit 2d651eb926 ("x86: Move x86 processor cache info to
cpu_features") changed the behaviour in such case by defining the
__x86_shared_cache_size and __x86_data_cache_size variables to 0 instead
of using the default values. This cause an issue with the i686 SSE2
optimized bzero/routine which assumes that the cache size is at least
128 bytes, and otherwise tries to zero/set the whole address space minus
128 bytes.
Fix that by restoring the original code to only update
__x86_shared_cache_size and __x86_data_cache_size variables if the
corresponding cache sizes are not zero.

The configure check for CAN_USE_REGISTER_ASM_EBP tried to compile a
simple function that uses %ebp as an inline assembly operand. If
compilation failed, CAN_USE_REGISTER_ASM_EBP was set 0, which
eventually had these consequences:
(1) %ebx was avoided as an inline assembly operand, with an
assembler macro hack to avoid unnecessary register moves.
(2) %ebp was avoided as an inline assembly operand, using an
out-of-line syscall function for 6-argument system calls.
(1) is no longer needed for any GCC version that is supported for
building glibc. %ebx can be used directly as a register operand.
Therefore, this commit removes the %ebx avoidance completely. This
avoids the assembler macro hack, which turns out to be incompatible
with the current Systemtap probe macros (which switch to .altmacro
unconditionally).
(2) is still needed in many build configurations. The existing
configure check cannot really capture that because the simple function
succeeds to compile, while the full glibc build still fails.
Therefore, this commit removes the check, the CAN_USE_REGISTER_ASM_EBP
macro, and uses the out-of-line syscall function for 6-argument system
calls unconditionally.

In tst-ucontext-ppc64-vscr.c, while the instructions provoking the new

Power ISA 2.03 (POWER5), the POWER5 processor did not support the

When using a timezone file with a truncated starting time,
generated by the zic in IANA tzcode-2021d a.k.a. tzlib-2021d
(also in tzlib-2021e; current as of this writing), glibc
asserts in __tzfile_read (on e.g. tzset() for this file) and
you may find lines matching "tzfile.c:435: __tzfile_read:
Assertion `num_types == 1' failed" in your syslog.
One example of such a file is the tzfile for Asuncion
generated by tzlib-2021e as follows, using the tzlib-2021e zic:
"zic -d DEST -r @1546300800 -L /dev/null -b slim

two entries in its "time-types" array (types), but only one
entry in its "transition types" array (type_idxs).
This is valid and expected already in the published RFC8536, and
not even frowned upon: "Local time for timestamps before the
first transition is specified by the first time type (time type
0)" ... "every nonzero local time type index SHOULD appear at
least once in the transition type array". Note the "nonzero ...
index". Until the 2021d zic, index 0 has been shared by the
first valid transition but with 2021d it's separate, set apart
as a placeholder and only "implicitly" indexed. (A draft update
of the RFC mandates that the entry at index 0 is a placeholder
in this case, hence can no longer be shared.)

With the built-in "dns [!UNAVAIL=return] files" default, dns is

We never look at the files database as a result, so the contents of

My glibc bot showed that my conformtest changes fail the build of the
conformtest execution tests for x86_64-linux-gnu-static-pie, because
linking the newly built object with the newly built libc and the
associated options normally used for linking requires it to be built
as PIE. Add $(pie-default) to the compiler command used so that PIE
options are used when required.
There's a case for using the whole of $(CFLAGS-.o) (which includes
$(pie-default)), but that raises questions of any impact from using
optimization flags from CFLAGS in these tests. So for now just use
$(pie-default) as the key part of $(CFLAGS-.o) that's definitely
needed.

Although the conform/ header tests are built using the headers of the
glibc under test, the execution tests from conformtest (a few tests of
the values of macros evaluating to string constants) are linked and
run with system libc, not the newly built libc.
Apart from preventing testing in cross environments, this can be a
problem even for native testing. Specifically, it can be useful to do
native testing when building with a cross compiler that links with a
libc that is not the system libc; for example, on x86_64, you can test
all three ABIs that way if the kernel support is present, even if the
host OS lacks 32-bit or x32 libraries or they are older than the
libraries in the sysroot used by the compiler used to build glibc.
This works for almost all tests, but not for these conformtest tests.
Arrange for conformtest to link and run test programs similarly to
other tests, with consequent refactoring of various variables in
Makeconfig to allow passing relevant parts of the link-time command
lines down to conformtest. In general, the parts of the link command
involving $@ or $^ are separated out from the parts that should be
passed to conformtest (the variables passed to conformtest still
involve various variables whose names involve $(@F), but those
variables simply won't be defined for the conformtest makefile rules
and I think their presence there is harmless).
This is also most of the support that would be needed to allow running
those tests of string constants for cross testing when test-wrapper is
defined. That will also need changes to where conformtest.py puts the
test executables, so it puts them in the main object directory
(expected to be shared with a test system in cross testing) rather
than /tmp (not expected to be shared) as at present.
Tested for x86_64.

Bugfix 27256 has introduced another issue:
In conversion from ISO-2022-JP-3 encoding, it is possible
to force iconv to emit extra NUL character on internal state reset.
To do this, it is sufficient to feed iconv with escape sequence
which switches active character set.
The simplified check 'data->__statep->__count != ASCII_set'
introduced by the aforementioned bugfix picks that case and
behaves as if '\0' character has been queued thus emitting it.
To eliminate this issue, these steps are taken:
* Restore original condition
'(data->__statep->__count & ~7) != ASCII_set'.
It is necessary since bits 0-2 may contain
number of buffered input characters.
* Check that queued character is not NUL.
Similar step is taken for main conversion loop.
Bundled test case follows following logic:
* Try to convert ISO-2022-JP-3 escape sequence
switching active character set
* Reset internal state by providing NULL as input buffer
* Ensure that nothing has been converted.

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.

This was found to be due to the kernel overwriting the stack space
allocated by the timex structure. The reason for the overwrite being
that the kernel timex has 64-bit fields and user space code only
allocates enough stack space for timex with 32-bit fields.
On 32-bit systems with TIMESIZE=64 __USE_TIME_BITS64 is not defined.
This causes the timex structure to use 32-bit fields with type
