850dbf24ee malloc: Ensure mtag code path in checked_request2size is cold
This is a workaround (hack) for a gcc optimization issue (PR 99551).
Without this the generated code may evaluate the expression in the
cold path which causes performance regression for small allocations
in the memory tagging disabled (common) case.

4eac0ab186 malloc: Use chunk2rawmem throughout
The difference between chunk2mem and chunk2rawmem is that the latter
does not get the memory tag for the returned pointer.  It turns out
chunk2rawmem almost always works:

The input of chunk2mem is a chunk pointer that is untagged so it can
access the chunk header. All memory that is not user allocated heap
memory is untagged, which in the current implementation means that it
has the 0 tag, but this patch does not rely on the tag value. The
patch relies on that chunk operations are either done on untagged
chunks or without doing memory access to the user owned part.

Internal interface contracts:

sysmalloc: Returns untagged memory.
_int_malloc: Returns untagged memory.
_int_free: Takes untagged memory.
_int_memalign: Returns untagged memory.
_int_realloc: Takes and returns tagged memory.

So only _int_realloc and functions outside this list need care.
Alignment checks do not need the right tag and tcache works with
untagged memory.

tag_at was kept in realloc after an mremap, which is not strictly
necessary, since the pointer is only used to retag the memory, but this
way the tag is guaranteed to be different from the old tag.

faf003ed8d malloc: Use memsize instead of CHUNK_AVAILABLE_SIZE
This is a pure refactoring change that does not affect behaviour.

The CHUNK_AVAILABLE_SIZE name was unclear, the memsize name tries to
follow the existing convention of mem denoting the allocation that is
handed out to the user, while chunk is its internally used container.

The user owned memory for a given chunk starts at chunk2mem(p) and
the size is memsize(p).  It is not valid to use on dumped heap chunks.

Moved the definition next to other chunk and mem related macros.

63a20eb03c malloc: Use branches instead of mtag_granule_mask
The branches may be better optimized since mtag_enabled is widely used.

Granule size larger than a chunk header is not supported since then we
cannot have both the chunk header and user area granule aligned.  To
fix that for targets with large granule, the chunk layout has to change.

So code that attempted to handle the granule mask generally was changed.
This simplified CHUNK_AVAILABLE_SIZE and the logic in malloc_usable_size.

9d61722b59 malloc: Change calloc when tagging is disabled
When glibc is built with memory tagging support (USE_MTAG) but it is not
enabled at runtime (mtag_enabled) then unconditional memset was used
even though that can be often avoided.

This is for performance when tagging is supported but not enabled.

42bac88a21 malloc: Use global flag instead of function pointer dispatch for mtag
A flag check can be faster than function pointers because of how
branch prediction and speculation works and it can also remove a layer
of indirection when there is a mismatch between the malloc internal
tag_* api and __libc_mtag_* target hooks.

Memory tagging wrapper functions are moved to malloc.c from arena.c and
the logic now checks mmap_enabled.  The definition of tag_new_usable is
moved after chunk related definitions.

This refactoring also allows using mtag_enabled checks instead of
USE_MTAG ifdefs when memory tagging support only changes code logic
when memory tagging is enabled at runtime. Note: an "if (false)" code
block is optimized away even at -O0 by gcc.

0923f74ada Support for multiple versions in versioned_symbol, compat_symbol
This essentially folds compat_symbol_unique functionality into
compat_symbol.

This change eliminates the need for intermediate aliases for defining
multiple symbol versions, for both compat_symbol and versioned_symbol.
Some binutils versions do not suport multiple versions per symbol on
some targets, so aliases are automatically introduced, similar to what
compat_symbol_unique did.  To reduce symbol table sizes, a configure
check is added to avoid these aliases if they are not needed.

The new mechanism works with data symbols as well as function symbols,
due to the way an assembler-level redirect is used.  It is not
compatible with weak symbols for old binutils versions, which is why
the definition of __malloc_initialize_hook had to be changed.  This
is not a loss of functionality because weak symbols do not matter
to dynamic linking.

The placeholder symbol needs repeating in nptl/libpthread-compat.c
now that compat_symbol is used, but that seems more obvious than
introducing yet another macro.

A subtle difference was that compat_symbol_unique made the symbol
global automatically.  compat_symbol does not do this, so static
had to be removed from the definition of
__libpthread_version_placeholder.

they are failing in master even without the Memory Tagging patches
that prompted this work.  Some tests were reviewed and found to need
specific error points that MALLOC_CHECK_ defeats by terminating early
but a thorough review of all tests is needed to bring them into mcheck

Various flavours are supported, particularly being able to turn on

systems where memory tagging support is not present without neededing
a separate build of glibc.  Also, depending on whether the kernel
supports it, the code will use mmap for the default arena if morecore
does not, or cannot support tagged memory (on AArch64 it is not
available).

All the hooks use function pointers to allow this to work without
needing ifuncs.

e72b98e6f8 malloc: Deprecate more hook-related functionality
__morecore, __after_morecore_hook, and __default_morecore had not
been deprecated in commit 7d17596c19
("Mark malloc hook variables as deprecated"), probably by accident.

725eeb4af1 string: Use tls-internal on strerror_l
The buffer allocation uses the same strategy of strsignal.

Checked on x86-64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
and s390x-linux-gnu.

9deec7c8ba string: Remove old TLS usage on strsignal
The per-thread state is refactored two use two strategies:

  1. The default one uses a TLS structure, which will be placed in the
     static TLS space (using __thread keyword).

  2. Linux allocates via struct pthread and access it through THREAD_*
     macros.

The default strategy has the disadvantage of increasing libc.so static
TLS consumption and thus decreasing the possible surplus used in
some scenarios (which might be mitigated by BZ#25051 fix).

It is used only on Hurd, where accessing the thread storage in the in
single thread case is not straightforward (afaiu, Hurd developers could
correct me here).

The fallback static allocation used for allocation failure is also
removed: defining its size is problematic without synchronizing with
translated messages (to avoid partial translation) and the resulting
usage is not thread-safe.

Checked on x86-64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
and s390x-linux-gnu.
