db373e4c57 Remove architecture specific sched_cpucount optimizations
And replace the generic algorithm with the Brian Kernighan's one.
GCC optimize it with popcnt if the architecture supports, so there
is no need to add the extra POPCNT define to enable it.

This is really a micro-optimization that only adds complexity:
recent ABIs already support it (x86-64-v2 or power64le) and it
simplifies the code for internal usage, since i686 does not allow an
internal iFUNC call.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, and
powerpc64le-linux-gnu.

60d5e40ab2 x86: Remove low-level lock optimization
The current approach is to do this optimizations at a higher level,
in generic code, so that single-threaded cases can be specifically
targeted.

Furthermore, using IS_IN (libc) as a compile-time indicator that
all locks are private is no longer correct once process-shared lock
implementations are moved into libc.

The generic <lowlevellock.h> is not compatible with assembler code
(obviously), so it's necessary to remove two long-unused #includes.

2208066603 elf: Remove lazy tlsdesc relocation related code
Remove generic tlsdesc code related to lazy tlsdesc processing since
lazy tlsdesc relocation is no longer supported.  This includes removing
GL(dl_load_lock) from _dl_make_tlsdesc_dynamic which is only called at
load time when that lock is already held.

ddcacd91cc i386: Avoid lazy relocation of tlsdesc [BZ #27137]
Lazy tlsdesc relocation is racy because the static tls optimization and
tlsdesc management operations are done without holding the dlopen lock.

This similar to the commit b7cf203b5c
for aarch64, but it fixes a different race: bug 27137.

On i386 the code is a bit more complicated than on x86_64 because both
rel and rela relocs are supported.

035c012e32 Reduce the statically linked startup code [BZ #23323]
It turns out the startup code in csu/elf-init.c has a perfect pair of
ROP gadgets (see Marco-Gisbert and Ripoll-Ripoll, "return-to-csu: A
New Method to Bypass 64-bit Linux ASLR").  These functions are not
needed in dynamically-linked binaries because DT_INIT/DT_INIT_ARRAY
are already processed by the dynamic linker.  However, the dynamic
linker skipped the main program for some reason.  For maximum
backwards compatibility, this is not changed, and instead, the main
map is consulted from __libc_start_main if the init function argument
is a NULL pointer.

For statically linked binaries, the old approach based on linker
symbols is still used because there is nothing else available.

A new symbol version __libc_start_main@@GLIBC_2.34 is introduced because
new binaries running on an old libc would not run their ELF
constructors, leading to difficult-to-debug issues.

1d9cbb9608 x86: Fix THREAD_SELF definition to avoid ld.so crash (bug 27004)
The previous definition of THREAD_SELF did not tell the compiler
that %fs (or %gs) usage is invalid for the !DL_LOOKUP_GSCOPE_LOCK
case in _dl_lookup_symbol_x.  As a result, ld.so could try to use the
TCB before it was initialized.

As the comment in tls.h explains, asm volatile is undesirable here.
Using the __seg_fs (or __seg_gs) namespace does not interfere with
optimization, and expresses that THREAD_SELF is potentially trapping.

3d3316b1de hurd: keep only required PLTs in ld.so
We need NO_RTLD_HIDDEN because of the need for PLT calls in ld.so.
See Roland's comment in
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15605
"in the Hurd it's crucial that calls like __mmap be the libc ones
instead of the rtld-local ones after the bootstrap phase, when the
dynamic linker is being used for dlopen and the like."

We used to just avoid all hidden use in the rtld ; this commit switches to
keeping only those that should use PLT calls, i.e. essentially those defined in
sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c:

__assert_fail
__assert_perror_fail
__*stat64
_exit

This fixes a few startup issues, notably the call to __tunable_get_val that is
made before PLTs are set up.

0f09154c64 x86: Initialize CPU info via IFUNC relocation [BZ 26203]
X86 CPU features in ld.so are initialized by init_cpu_features, which is
invoked by DL_PLATFORM_INIT from _dl_sysdep_start.  But when ld.so is
loaded by static executable, DL_PLATFORM_INIT is never called.  Also
x86 cache info in libc.o and libc.a is initialized by a constructor
which may be called too late.  Since some fields in _rtld_global_ro
in ld.so are initialized by dynamic relocation, we can also initialize
x86 CPU features in _rtld_global_ro in ld.so and cache info in libc.so
by initializing dummy function pointers in ld.so and libc.so via IFUNC
relocation.

Key points:

1. IFUNC is always supported, independent of --enable-multi-arch or
--disable-multi-arch.  Linker generates IFUNC relocations from input
IFUNC objects and ld.so performs IFUNC relocations.
2. There are no IFUNC dependencies in ld.so before dynamic relocation
have been performed,
3. The x86 CPU features in ld.so is initialized by DL_PLATFORM_INIT
in dynamic executable and by IFUNC relocation in dlopen in static
executable.
4. The x86 cache info in libc.o is initialized by IFUNC relocation.
5. In libc.a, both x86 CPU features and cache info are initialized from
ARCH_INIT_CPU_FEATURES, not by IFUNC relocation, before __libc_early_init
is called.

Note: _dl_x86_init_cpu_features can be called more than once from
DL_PLATFORM_INIT and during relocation in ld.so.

238032ead6 aarch64: enforce >=64K guard size [BZ #26691]
There are several compiler implementations that allow large stack
allocations to jump over the guard page at the end of the stack and
corrupt memory beyond that. See CVE-2017-1000364.

Compilers can emit code to probe the stack such that the guard page
cannot be skipped, but on aarch64 the probe interval is 64K by default
instead of the minimum supported page size (4K).

This patch enforces at least 64K guard on aarch64 unless the guard
is disabled by setting its size to 0.  For backward compatibility
reasons the increased guard is not reported, so it is only observable
by exhausting the address space or parsing /proc/self/maps on linux.

On other targets the patch has no effect. If the stack probe interval
is larger than a page size on a target then ARCH_MIN_GUARD_SIZE can
be defined to get large enough stack guard on libc allocated stacks.

The patch does not affect threads with user allocated stacks.

Fixes bug 26691.

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.

Support usable check for all CPU features with the following changes:

1. Change struct cpu_features to

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];
  unsigned int preferred[PREFERRED_FEATURE_INDEX_MAX];
...
};

so that there is a usable bit for each cpuid bit.
2. After the cpuid bits have been initialized, copy the known bits to the
usable bits.  EAX/EBX from INDEX_1 and EAX from INDEX_7 aren't used for
CPU feature detection.
3. Clear the usable bits which require OS support.
4. If the feature is supported by OS, copy its cpuid bit to its usable
bit.
5. Replace HAS_CPU_FEATURE and CPU_FEATURES_CPU_P with CPU_FEATURE_USABLE
and CPU_FEATURE_USABLE_P to check if a feature is usable.
6. Add DEPR_FPU_CS_DS for INDEX_7_EBX_13.
7. Unset MPX feature since it has been deprecated.

The results are

1. If the feature is known and doesn't requre OS support, its usable bit
is copied from the cpuid bit.
2. Otherwise, its usable bit is copied from the cpuid bit only if the
feature is known to supported by OS.
3. CPU_FEATURE_USABLE/CPU_FEATURE_USABLE_P are used to check if the
feature can be used.
4. HAS_CPU_FEATURE/CPU_FEATURE_CPU_P are used to check if CPU supports
the feature.

8d9ffbb9d0 Remove most gmp-mparam.h headers.
Most gmp-mparam.h headers in glibc define various macros to the same
values they would be defined to by the generic version of that header,
plus macros IEEE_DOUBLE_BIG_ENDIAN or IEEE_DOUBLE_MIXED_ENDIAN related
to the representation of double.  The latter macros are in turn only
used in gmp-impl.h to define union ieee_double_extract, which is not
used in glibc.  Thus all of these headers, except for the generic one
and those that define _LONG_LONG_LIMB for ILP32 configurations with
64-bit registers, are redundant, and this patch removes them.

93a0959ef2 i386: Remove build support for GCC older than GCC 6
Since GCC 6.2 or later is required to build glibc, remove build support
for GCC older than GCC 6.

Testd with GCC 6.4 and GCC 9.3.

a9d42c09a3 math: Add inputs that yield larger errors for float type (x86_64)
The corner cases included were generated using exhaustive search
for all float/binary32 values on x86_64 (comparing to MPFR for
correct rounding to nearest).

For the j0/j1/y0 functions, only cases with ulp error <= 9 were
included.

1c15464ca0 math: Remove inline math tests
With mathinline removal there is no need to keep building and testing
inline math tests.

The gen-libm-tests.py support to generate ULP_I_* is removed and all
libm-test-ulps files are updated to longer have the
i{float,double,ldouble} entries.  The support for no-test-inline is
also removed from both gen-auto-libm-tests and the
auto-libm-test-out-* were regenerated.

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

b5b7fb76e1 i386: Use comdat instead of .gnu.linkonce for i386 setup pic register (BZ #20543)
GCC has moved from using .gnu.linkonce for i386 setup pic register with
minimum current version (as for binutils minimum binutils that support
comdat).

Trying to pinpoint when binutils has added comdat support for i686, it
seems it was around 2004 [1].  I also checking with some ancient
binutils older than 2.16 I see:

test.o: In function `__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx':
test.o(.text.__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx+0x0): multiple definition of `__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/../../../i386-linux-gnu/crti.o(.gnu.linkonce.t.__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx+0x0): first defined here

Which seems that such version can not handle either comdat at all or
a mix of linkonce and comdat.  For binutils 2.16.1 I am getting a
different issue trying to link a binary with and more recent
ctri.o (unrecognized relocation (0x2b) in section `.init', which is
R_386_GOT32X and old binutils won't generate it anyway).

So I think that either unlikely someone will use an older binutils than
the one used to glibc and even this scenario may fail with some issue
as the R_386_GOT32X.  Also, 2.16.1 is quite old and not really supported
(glibc itself required 2.25).

Checked on i686-linux-gnu.
