99a327f801 Use GCC 10 branch in build-many-glibcs.py.
This updates the default GCC version used in build-many-glibcs.py when
no version is specified explicitly.  I'm replacing my bot using GCC 8
with one using GCC 10 (leaving the GCC 9 and GCC mainline bots running
as at present).

898f379316 y2038: Provide conversion helpers for struct __timex64
Those functions allow easy conversion between Y2038 safe, glibc internal
struct __timex64 and struct timex.

Those functions are put in Linux specific sys/timex.h file, as putting
them into glibc's local include/time.h would cause build break on HURD as
it doesn't support struct timex related syscalls.

dbf8178fdc y2038: Introduce struct __timex64 - new internal glibc type
The introduced glibc's 'internal' struct __timex64 is a copy of Linux kernel's
struct __kernel_timex (v5.6) introduced for properly handling data for
clock_adjtime64 syscall.
As the struct's __kernel_timex size is the same as for archs with
__WORDSIZE == 64, proper padding and data types conversion (i.e. long to long
long) had to be added for architectures with __WORDSIZE == 32 &&
__TIMESIZE != 64.

Moreover, it stores time in struct __timeval64 rather than struct
timeval, which makes it Y2038-proof.

a308615f7c y2038: include: Move struct __timeval64 definition to a separate file
The struct __timeval64's definition has been moved from ./include/time.h to
./include/struct___timeval64.h.

This change would prevent from polluting other glibc namespaces (when
headers are modified to support 64 bit time on architectures with
__WORDSIZE==32).

Now it is possible to just include definition of this particular structure
when needed.

e008836c4a y2038: inet: Convert inet deadline to support 64 bit time
This change brings 64 bit time support to inet deadline related code for
architectures with __WORDSIZE == 32 && __TIMESIZE != 64.

It is also safe to replace struct timespec with struct __timespec64 in
deadline related structures as:

- The __deadline_to_ms () returns the number of miliseconds to deadline to
  be used with __poll (and hence it is a relative value).
- To calculate the deadline from timeval (which will be converted latter)
  the uintmax_t type is used (unsinged long long int).

1959ed4b9e y2038: hurd: Provide __clock_gettime64 function
For Linux glibc ports the __TIMESIZE == 64 ensures proper aliasing for
__clock_gettime64 (to __clock_gettime).
When __TIMESIZE != 64 (like ARM32, PPC) the glibc expects separate definition
of the __clock_gettime64.

The HURD port only provides __clock_gettime, so this patch adds
__clock_gettime64 as a tiny wrapper on it.

4a4db1de2f powerpc64le/power9: guard power9 strcmp against rtld usage [BZ# 25905]
strcmp is used while resolving PLT references.  Vector registers
should not be used during this.  The P9 strcmp makes heavy use of
vector registers, so it should be avoided in rtld.

This prevents quiet vector register corruption when glibc is configured
with --disable-multi-arch and --with-cpu=power9.  This can be seen with
test-float64x-compat_totalordermag during the first call into
totalordermagf64x@GLIBC_2.27.

Add a guard to fallback to the power8 implementation when building
power9 strcmp for libraries other than libc.

033362cfd7 test-container: Support $(complocaledir) and mkdirp.
Expand the support infrastructure:
- Create $(complocaledir) in the testroot.pristine to support localedef.
- Add the variable $complocaledir to script support.
- Add the script command 'mkdirp'.

All localedef tests which run with default paths need to have the
$(complocaledir) created in testroot.pristine. The localedef binary
will not by itself create the default path, but it will write into
the path. By adding this we can simplify the localedef tests.

The variable $complocaledir is the value of the configured
$(complocaledir) which is the location of the compiled locales that
will be searched by the runtime by default.

The command mkdirp will be available in script setup and will
be equivalent to running `mkdir -p`.

The variable and command can be used to write more complex tests.

051be01f6b powerpc64le: Enable support for IEEE long double
On platforms where long double may have two different formats, i.e.: the
same format as double (64-bits) or something else (128-bits), building
with -mlong-double-128 is the default and function calls in the user
program match the name of the function in Glibc.  When building with
-mlong-double-64, Glibc installed headers redirect such calls to the
appropriate function.

Likewise, the internals of glibc are now built against IEEE long double.
However, the only (minimally) notable usage of long double is difftime.

50545f5aa0 powerpc64le: raise GCC requirement to 7.4 for long double transition
Add compiler feature tests to ensure we can build ieee128 long double.
These test for -mabi=ieeelongdouble, -mno-gnu-attribute, and -Wno-psabi.

Likewise, verify some compiler bugs have been addressed.  These aren't
helpful for building glibc, but may cause test failures when testing
the new long double.  See notes below from Raji.

On powerpc64le, some older compiler versions give error for the function
signbit() for 128-bit floating point types.  This is fixed by PR83862
in gcc 8.0 and backported to gcc6 and gcc7.  This patch adds a test
to check compiler version to avoid compiler errors during make check.

Likewise, test for -mno-gnu-attribute support which was

On powerpc64le, a few files are built on IEEE long double mode
(-mabi=ieeelongdouble), whereas most are built on IBM long double mode
(-mabi=ibmlongdouble, the default for -mlong-double-128).  Since binutils
2.31, linking object files with different long double modes causes
errors similar to:

  ld: libc_pic.a(s_isinfl.os) uses IBM long double,
      libc_pic.a(ieee128-qefgcvt.os) uses IEEE long double.
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[2]: *** [../Makerules:649: libc_pic.os] Error 1

The warnings are fair and correct, but in order for glibc to have
support for both long double modes on powerpc64le, they have to be
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.

2ad5d0845d Add SYSCALL_ULONG_ARG_[12] to pass long to syscall [BZ #25810]
X32 has 32-bit long and pointer with 64-bit off_t.  Since x32 psABI
requires that pointers passed in registers must be zero-extended to
64bit, x32 can share many syscall interfaces with LP64.  When a LP64
syscall with long and unsigned long int arguments is used for x32, these
arguments must be properly extended to 64-bit.  Otherwise if the upper
32 bits of the register have undefined value, such a syscall will be
rejected by kernel.

For syscalls implemented in assembly codes, 'U' is added to syscall
signature key letters for unsigned long, which is zero-extended to
64-bit types.  SYSCALL_ULONG_ARG_1 and SYSCALL_ULONG_ARG_2 are passed
to syscall-template.S for the first and the second unsigned long int
arguments if PSEUDOS_HAVE_ULONG_INDICES is defined.  They are used by
x32 to zero-extend 32-bit arguments to 64 bits.

takes about 25s, so i increased the timeout to 30s.

9cc93ba097 misc: Turn sstk into a compat symbol
It is not implemented anywhere.  There is an osf_sstk system call on
alpha, but it is not used to implement sstk, and the system call
is not implemented on Linux, either.

b3cae39dcb nptl: Start new threads with all signals blocked [BZ #25098]
New threads inherit the signal mask from the current thread.  This
means that signal handlers can run on the newly created thread
immediately after the kernel has created the userspace thread, even
before glibc has initialized the TCB.  Consequently, new threads can
observe uninitialized ctype data, among other things.

To address this, block all signals before starting the thread, and
pass the original signal mask to the start routine wrapper.  On the
new thread, first perform all thread initialization, and then unblock
signals.

The cost of doing this is two rt_sigprocmask system calls on the old
thread, and one rt_sigprocmask system call on the new thread.  (If
there was a way to clone a new thread with a signals disabled, this
could be brought down to one system call each.)  The thread descriptor
increases in size, too, and sigset_t is fairly large.  This increase
could be brought down by reusing space the in the descriptor which is
not needed before running user code, or by switching to an internal
sigset_t definition which only covers the signals supported by the
kernel definition.  (Part of the thread descriptor size increase is
already offset by reduced stack usage in the thread start wrapper
routine after this commit.)

92954ffa5a localedef: Add verbose messages for failure paths.
During testing of localedef running in a minimal container
there were several error cases which were hard to diagnose
since they appeared as strerror (errno) values printed by the
higher level functions.  This change adds three new verbose
messages for potential failure paths.  The new messages give
the user the opportunity to use -v and display additional
information about why localedef might be failing.  I found
these messages useful myself while writing a localedef
container test for --no-hard-links.

Since the changes cleanup the code that handle codeset
normalization we add tst-localedef-path-norm which contains
many sub-tests to verify the correct expected normalization of
codeset strings both when installing to default paths (the
only time normalization is enabled) and installing to absolute
paths.  During the refactoring I created at least one
buffer-overflow which valgrind caught, but these tests did not
catch because the exec in the container had a very clean heap
with zero-initialized memory. However, between valgrind and
the tests the results are clean.

The new tst-localedef-path-norm passes without regression on
x86_64.
