The kernel ABI is not finalized, and there are now various proposals

On some targets static TLS surplus area can be used opportunistically
for dynamically loaded modules such that the TLS access then becomes
faster (TLSDESC and powerpc TLS optimization). However we don't want
all surplus TLS to be used for this optimization because dynamically
loaded modules with initial-exec model TLS can only use surplus TLS.
The new contract for surplus static TLS use is:
- libc.so can have up to 192 bytes of IE TLS,
- other system libraries together can have up to 144 bytes of IE TLS.
- Some "optional" static TLS is available for opportunistic use.
The optional TLS is now tunable: rtld.optional_static_tls, so users
can directly affect the allocated static TLS size. (Note that module
unloading with dlclose does not reclaim static TLS. After the optional
TLS runs out, TLS access is no longer optimized to use static TLS.)
The default setting of rtld.optional_static_tls is 512 so the surplus
TLS is 3*192 + 4*144 + 512 = 1664 by default, the same as before.
Fixes BZ #25051.
Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.

The new static TLS surplus size computation is
surplus_tls = 192 * (nns-1) + 144 * nns + 512
where nns is controlled via the rtld.nns tunable. This commit
accounts audit modules too so nns = rtld.nns + audit modules.
rtld.nns should only include the namespaces required by the
application, namespaces for audit modules are accounted on top
of that so audit modules don't use up the static TLS that is
reserved for the application. This allows loading many audit
modules without tuning rtld.nns or using up static TLS, and it
fixes
FAIL: elf/tst-auditmany
Note that DL_NNS is currently a hard upper limit for nns, and
if rtld.nns + audit modules go over the limit that's a fatal
error. By default rtld.nns is 4 which allows 12 audit modules.
Counting the audit modules is based on existing audit string
parsing code, we cannot use GLRO(dl_naudit) before the modules
are actually loaded.
TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS is 1664 bytes currently which is not enough to
support DL_NNS (== 16) number of dynamic link namespaces, if we
assume 192 bytes of TLS are reserved for libc use and 144 bytes
are reserved for other system libraries that use IE TLS.
A new tunable is introduced to control the number of supported
namespaces and to adjust the surplus static TLS size as follows:
surplus_tls = 192 * (rtld.nns-1) + 144 * rtld.nns + 512
The default is rtld.nns == 4 and then the surplus TLS size is the
same as before, so the behaviour is unchanged by default. If an
application creates more namespaces than the rtld.nns setting
allows, then it is not guaranteed to work, but the limit is not
checked. So existing usage will continue to work, but in the
future if an application creates more than 4 dynamic link
namespaces then the tunable will need to be set.
In this patch DL_NNS is a fixed value and provides a maximum to
the rtld.nns setting.
Static linking used fixed 2048 bytes surplus TLS, this is changed
so the same contract is used as for dynamic linking. With static
linking DL_NNS == 1 so rtld.nns tunable is forced to 1, so by
default the surplus TLS is reduced to 144 + 512 = 656 bytes. This
change is not expected to cause problems.

The function mbstowcs, by an XSI extension to POSIX, accepts a null
pointer for the destination wchar_t array. This API behaviour allows
you to use the function to compute the length of the required wchar_t
array i.e. does the conversion without storing it and returns the
number of wide characters required.
We remove the __write_only__ markup for the first argument because it
is not true since the destination may be a null pointer, and so the
length argument may not apply. We remove the markup otherwise the new
test case cannot be compiled with -Werror=nonnull.
We add a new test case for mbstowcs which exercises the destination is
a null pointer behaviour which we have now explicitly documented.
The mbsrtowcs and mbsnrtowcs behave similarly, and mbsrtowcs is
documented as doing this in C11, even if the standard doesn't come out
and call out this specific use case. We add one note to each of
mbsrtowcs and mbsnrtowcs to call out that they support a null pointer
for the destination.
The wcsrtombs function behaves similarly but in the other way around
and allows you to use a null destination pointer to compute how many
bytes you would need to convert the wide character input. We document
this particular case also, but leave wcsnrtombs as a references to
wcsrtombs, so the reader must still read the details of the semantics
for wcsrtombs.
Validation for pointer returned by backtrace_symbols () added.
Type of variables size and i is changed from size_t to int.
Variable size is used to collect the result from backtrace ()
that is an int. i is the loop counter variable so it can be an int.

The warnings are fair and correct, but in order for glibc to have

ignored. This can be accomplished with the use of -mno-gnu-attribute
option when building the few files that require IEEE long double mode.
However, -mno-gnu-attribute is not available in GCC 6, the minimum
version required to build glibc, so this patch adds a test for this
feature in powerpc64le builds, and fails early if it's not available.

discussion of time-related data types (which now get their own

Substantive changes are:
* Document clock_gettime, clock_getres, and clock_settime. (Only
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC are documented; the others are
either a bit too Linux-specific, or have more to do with measuring
CPU/processor time. That section _also_ deserves its own thorough

* Remove the documentation of struct timezone. Matching POSIX,
say that the type of the second argument to gettimeofday and
settimeofday is [const] void *.
* Clarify ISO C and POSIX's requirements on time_t. Clarify the
circumstances under which difftime is equivalent to simple
subtraction.
* Consolidate documentation of most of the time-related data types
into a new section "Time Types," right after "Time Basics." (The
exceptions are struct tm, which stays in "Broken-down Time," and
struct times, which stays in "Processor And CPU Time."
* The "Elapsed Time" section is now called "Calculating Elapsed Time"
and includes only difftime and the discussion of how to compute
timeval differences by hand.
* Fold the "Simple Calendar Time," "High Resolution Calendar," and

The warning is confusing to those who do not understand the context,
and the warning is easy to misunderstand:
A reader needs to know that it was written by someone who is generally
skeptical of government influence and control, otherwise it reads as
an affirmation of the U.S. government's role as the ultimate editor of
the manual. This is precisely the opposite of what the warning
intends to convey. (Reportedly, it criticizes that several
U.S. administrations have tried to restrict the medical advice that
U.S.-funded health care workers can provide abroad, considering that
censorship.)
The warning is also misleading on a technical level. A reader who
makes the connection to pregnancy termination will get the wrong
impression that calling the abort function will terminate subprocesses
of the current process, but this is not what generally happens.
Finally, for both GNU and the FSF, it is inappropriate to use female
reproductive health as mere joke material, since these organizations
do not concern themselves with such issues otherwise, and the warning
is purportedly about something else entirely.
