This patch starts preparation for C2Y support in glibc headers by
adding a feature test macro _ISOC2Y_SOURCE and corresponding
__GLIBC_USE (ISOC2Y). (I mostly copied the work of Joseph Myers
for C2X). As with other such macros, C2Y features are also
enabled by compiling for a standard newer than C23, or by using
_GNU_SOURCE.
This patch does not itself enable anything new in the headers for C2Y;
that is to be done in followup patches. (For example an implementation
of WG14 N3349.)
Once C2Y becomes an actual standard we'll presumably move to using the
actual year in the feature test macro and __GLIBC_USE, with some
period when both macro spellings are accepted, as was done with
_ISOC2X_SOURCE.
Tested for x86_64.

The gilbc manual has some documentation in llio.texi of requirements
for moving between I/O on FILE * streams and file descriptors on the
same open file description.
The documentation of what must be done on a FILE * stream to move from
it to either a file descriptor or another FILE * for the same open
file description seems to match POSIX. However, there is an
additional requirement in POSIX on the *second* of the two handles
being moved between, which is not mentioned in the glibc manual: "If
any previous active handle has been used by a function that explicitly
changed the file offset, except as required above for the first
handle, the application shall perform an lseek() or fseek() (as
appropriate to the type of handle) to an appropriate location.".
Document this requirement on seeking in the glibc manual, limited to
the case that seems relevant to glibc (the new channel is a previously
active stream, on which the seeking previously occurred). Note that
I'm not sure what the "except as required above for the first handle"
is meant to be about, so I haven't documented anything for it. As far
as I can tell, nothing specified for moving from the first handle
actually list calling a seek function as one of the steps to be done.
(Current POSIX doesn't seem to have any relevant rationale for this
section. The rationale in the 1996 edition says "In requiring the
seek to an appropriate location for the new handle, the application is
required to know what it is doing if it is passing streams with seeks
involved. If the required seek is not done, the results are undefined
(and in fact the program probably will not work on many common
implementations)." - which also doesn't help in understanding the
purpose of "except as required above for the first handle".)
Tested with "make info" and "make pdf".
Glibc has two gnu-extension functions that are implemented as
macros but not documented as such: fread_unlocked and
fwrite_unlocked. Document them as such.
Additionally, putc_unlocked and getc_unlocked are documented in
POSIX as possibly being macros. Update the manual to add a warning
about those also, depite glibc not implementing them as macros.
The manual contained several instances of incorrect formatting
that were correct texinfo but produced incorrectly rendered manuals
or incorrect behaviour from the tooling.
The most important was incorrect quoting of function returns
by failing to use {} to quote the return. The impact of this
mistake means that 'info libc func' does not jump to the function
in question but instead to the introductory page under the assumption
that func doesn't exist. The function returns are now correctly
quoted.
The second issue was the use of a category specifier with
@deftypefun which doesn't accept a category specifier. If a category
specifier is required then @deftypefn needs to be used. This is
corrected by changing the command to @deftypefn for such functions
that used {Deprecated function} as a category.
The last issue is a missing space between the function name and the
arguments which results in odd function names like "epoll_wait(int"
instead of "epoll_wait". This also impacts the use of 'info libc'
and is corrected.
We additionally remove ';' from the end of function arguments and
add an 'int' return type for dprintf.
Lastly we add a new test check-deftype.sh which verifies the expected
formatting of @deftypefun, @deftypefunx, @deftypefn, and
@deftypefnx. The new test is also run as the summary file is
generated to ensure we don't generate incorrect results.
The existing check-safety.sh is also run directly as a test to increase
coverage since the existing tests only ran on manual install.
The new tests now run as part of the standard "make check" that
pre-commit CI runs and developers should run.
No regressions on x86_64.

The recursive lock used on abort does not synchronize with a new process
creation (either by fork-like interfaces or posix_spawn ones), nor it
is reinitialized after fork().
Also, the SIGABRT unblock before raise() shows another race condition,
where a fork or posix_spawn() call by another thread, just after the
recursive lock release and before the SIGABRT signal, might create
programs with a non-expected signal mask. With the default option
(without POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF), the process can see SIG_DFL for
SIGABRT, where it should be SIG_IGN.
To fix the AS-safe, raise() does not change the process signal mask,
and an AS-safe lock is used if a SIGABRT is installed or the process
is blocked or ignored. With the signal mask change removal,
there is no need to use a recursive loc. The lock is also taken on
both _Fork() and posix_spawn(), to avoid the spawn process to see the
abort handler as SIG_DFL.
A read-write lock is used to avoid serialize _Fork and posix_spawn
execution. Both sigaction (SIGABRT) and abort() requires to lock
as writer (since both change the disposition).
The fallback is also simplified: there is no need to use a loop of
ABORT_INSTRUCTION after _exit() (if the syscall does not terminate the
process, the system is broken).
The proposed fix changes how setjmp works on a SIGABRT handler, where
glibc does not save the signal mask. So usage like the below will now
always abort.
static volatile int chk_fail_ok;
static jmp_buf chk_fail_buf;
static void
handler (int sig)
{
if (chk_fail_ok)
{
chk_fail_ok = 0;
longjmp (chk_fail_buf, 1);
}
else
_exit (127);
}
[...]
signal (SIGABRT, handler);
[....]
chk_fail_ok = 1;
if (! setjmp (chk_fail_buf))
{
// Something that can calls abort, like a failed fortify function.
chk_fail_ok = 0;
printf ("FAIL\n");
}
Such cases will need to use sigsetjmp instead.
The _dl_start_profile calls sigaction through _profil, and to avoid
pulling abort() on loader the call is replaced with __libc_sigaction.

In sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/sched.h, the hack that defines

ugly, but the definition of struct sched_param has already been

When ungetc is called on an unused stream, the backup buffer is
allocated without the main get area being present. This results in
every subsequent ungetc (as the stream remains in the backup area)
checking uninitialized memory in the backup buffer when trying to put a
character back into the stream.
Avoid comparing the input character with buffer contents when in backup
to avoid this uninitialized read. The uninitialized read is harmless in
this context since the location is promptly overwritten with the input
character, thus fulfilling ungetc functionality.
Also adjust wording in the manual to drop the paragraph that says glibc
cannot do multiple ungetc back to back since with this change, ungetc
can actually do this.

C23 adds various <math.h> function families originally defined in TS
18661-4. Add the exp2m1 and exp10m1 functions (exp2(x)-1 and
exp10(x)-1, like expm1).
As with other such functions, these use type-generic templates that
could be replaced with faster and more accurate type-specific
implementations in future. Test inputs are copied from those for
expm1, plus some additions close to the overflow threshold (copied
from exp2 and exp10) and also some near the underflow threshold.
exp2m1 has the unusual property of having an input (M_MAX_EXP) where
whether the function overflows (under IEEE semantics) depends on the
rounding mode. Although these could reasonably be XFAILed in the
testsuite (as we do in some cases for arguments very close to a
function's overflow threshold when an error of a few ulps in the
implementation can result in the implementation not agreeing with an
ideal one on whether overflow takes place - the testsuite isn't smart
enough to handle this automatically), since these functions aren't
required to be correctly rounding, I made the implementation check for
and handle this case specially.
The Makefile ordering expected by lint-makefiles for the new functions
is a bit peculiar, but I implemented it in this patch so that the test
passes; I don't know why log2 also needed moving in one Makefile
variable setting when it didn't in my previous patches, but the
failure showed a different place was expected for that function as
well.
The powerpc64le IFUNC setup seems not to be as self-contained as one
might hope; it shouldn't be necessary to add IFUNCs for new functions
such as these simply to get them building, but without setting up
IFUNCs for the new functions, there were undefined references to
__GI___expm1f128 (that IFUNC machinery results in no such function
being defined, but doesn't stop include/math.h from doing the
redirection resulting in the exp2m1f128 and exp10m1f128
implementations expecting to call it).

whereas log2p1 has a smaller underflow range than log1p, log10p1 has a
larger underflow range). The test inputs are copied from those for
log1p and log2p1, plus a few more inputs in that wider underflow
range.

C23 adds various <math.h> function families originally defined in TS
18661-4. Add the logp1 functions (aliases for log1p functions - the
name is intended to be more consistent with the new log2p1 and
log10p1, where clearly it would have been very confusing to name those
functions log21p and log101p). As aliases rather than new functions,
the content of this patch is somewhat different from those actually
adding new functions.
Tests are shared with log1p, so this patch *does* mechanically update
all affected libm-test-ulps files to expect the same errors for both
functions.
The vector versions of log1p on aarch64 and x86_64 are *not* updated
to have logp1 aliases (and thus there are no corresponding header,
tests, abilist or ulps changes for vector functions either). It would
be reasonable for such vector aliases and corresponding changes to
other files to be made separately. For now, the log1p tests instead
avoid testing logp1 in the vector case (a Makefile change is needed to
avoid problems with grep, used in generating the .c files for vector
function tests, matching more than one ALL_RM_TEST line in a file
testing multiple functions with the same inputs, when it assumes that
the .inc file only has a single such line).

POSIX.1-2024 (now official) specifies tm_gmtoff and tm_zone.
This is a good time to update the manual’s “Date and Time”
chapter so I went through it, fixed some outdated
stuff that had been in there for decades, and improved it to match
POSIX.1-2024 better and to clarify some implementation-defined
behavior. Glibc already conforms to POSIX.1-2024 in these matters, so
this is merely a documentation change.
* manual/examples/strftim.c: Use snprintf instead of now-deprecated
function asctime. Check for localtime failure. Simplify by using
puts instead of fputs. Prefer ‘buf, sizeof buf’ to less-obvious
‘buffer, SIZE’.
* manual/examples/timespec_subtract.c: Modernize to use struct
timespec not struct timeval, and rename from timeval_subtract.c.
All uses changed. Check for overflow. Do not check for negative
return value, which ought to be OK since negative time_t is OK.
Use GNU indenting style.
* manual/time.texi:
Document CLOCKS_PER_SEC, TIME_UTC, timespec_get, timespec_getres,
strftime_l.
Document the storage lifetime of tm_zone and of tzname.
Caution against use of tzname, timezone and daylight, saying that
these variables have unspecified values when TZ is geographic.
This is what glibc actually does (contrary to what the manual said
before this patch), and POSIX is planned to say the same thing
<https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1816>.
Also say that directly accessing the variables is not thread-safe.
Say that localtime_r and ctime_r don’t necessarily set time zone
state. Similarly, in the tzset documentation, say that it is called
by ctime, localtime, mktime, strftime, not that it is called by all
time conversion functions that depend on the time zone.
Say that tm_isdst is useful mostly just for mktime, and that
other uses should prefer tm_gmtoff and tm_zone instead.
Do not say that strftime ignores tm_gmtoff and tm_zone, because
it doesn’t do that.
Document what gmtime does to tm_gmtoff and tm_zone.
Say that the asctime, asctime_r, ctime, and ctime_r are now deprecated
and/or obsolescent, and that behavior is undefined if the year is <
1000 or > 9999. Document strftime before these now-obsolescent
functions, so that readers see the useful function first.
Coin the terms “geographical format” and “proleptic format” for the
two main formats of TZ settings, to simplify exposition. Use this
wording consistently.
Update top-level proleptic syntax to match POSIX.1-2024, which glibc
already implements. Document the angle-bracket quoted forms of time
zone abbreviations in proleptic TZ. Say that time zone abbreviations
can contain only ASCII alphanumerics, ‘+’, and ‘-’.
Document what happens if the proleptic form specifies a DST
abbreviation and offset but omits the rules. POSIX says this is
implementation-defined so we need to document it. Although this
documentation mentions ‘posixrules’ tersely, we need to rethink
‘posixrules’ since I think it stops working after 2038.
Clarify wording about TZ settings beginning with ‘;’.
Say that timegm is in ISO C (as of C23).
Say that POSIX.1-2024 removed gettimeofday.
Say that tm_gmtoff and tm_zone are extensions to ISO C, which is
clearer than saying they are invisible in a struct ISO C enviroment,
and gives us more wiggle room if we want to make them visible in
strict ISO C, something that ISO C allows.

This illustrates the intended structure of implementations of all

desirable in such cases to demonstrate that a new implementation is
indeed faster).
