ce0b7961ae nptl: Consolidate async cancel enable/disable implementation in libc
Previously, the source file nptl/cancellation.c was compiled multiple
times, for libc, libpthread, librt.  This commit switches to a single
implementation, with new __pthread_enable_asynccancel@@GLIBC_PRIVATE,
__pthread_disable_asynccancel@@GLIBC_PRIVATE exports.

The almost-unused CANCEL_ASYNC and CANCEL_RESET macros are replaced
by LIBC_CANCEL_ASYNC and LIBC_CANCEL_ASYNC macros.  They call the
__pthread_* functions unconditionally now.  The macros are still
needed because shared code uses them; Hurd has different definitions.

62193c4a3a Revise the documentation of simple calendar time.
This is a thorough revision of all the material relating to the
functions time, stime, gettimeofday, settimeofday, clock_gettime,
clock_getres, clock_settime, and difftime, spilling over into the
discussion of time-related data types (which now get their own
section) and touching the adjtime family as well (which deserves its
own thorough revision, but I'd have to do a bunch of research first).

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
   revision but again I'd have to do a bunch of research first.)

 * Present gettimeofday, settimeofday, and struct timeval as obsolete
   relative to clock_*.

 * 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
   "High Accuracy Clock" sections together into two new sections titled
   "Getting the Time" and "Setting and Adjusting the Time."

5a659ccc0e io: Remove copy_file_range emulation [BZ #24744]
The kernel is evolving this interface (e.g., removal of the
restriction on cross-device copies), and keeping up with that
is difficult.  Applications which need the function should
run kernels which support the system call instead of relying on
the imperfect glibc emulation.

06ab719d30 Fix Linux fcntl OFD locks for non-LFS architectures (BZ#20251)
This patch fixes the OFD ("file private") locks for architectures that
support non-LFS flock definition (__USE_FILE_OFFSET64 not defined). The
issue in this case is both F_OFD_{GETLK,SETLK,SETLKW} and
F_{SET,GET}L{W}K64 expects a flock64 argument and when using old
F_OFD_* flags with a non LFS flock argument the kernel might interpret
the underlying data wrongly.  Kernel idea originally was to avoid using
such flags in non-LFS syscall, but since GLIBC uses fcntl with LFS
semantic as default it is possible to provide the functionality and
avoid the bogus struct kernel passing by adjusting the struct manually
for the required flags.

The idea follows other LFS interfaces that provide two symbols:

  1. A new LFS fcntl64 is added on default ABI with the usual macros to
     select it for FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.

  2. The Linux non-LFS fcntl use a stack allocated struct flock64 for
     F_OFD_{GETLK,SETLK,SETLKW} copy the results on the user provided
     struct.

  3. Keep a compat symbol with old broken semantic for architectures
     that do not define __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T.

So for architectures which defines __USE_FILE_OFFSET64, fcntl64 will
aliased to fcntl and no adjustment would be required.  So to actually
use F_OFD_* with LFS support the source must be built with LFS support
(_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64).

Also F_OFD_SETLKW command is handled a cancellation point, as for
F_SETLKW{64}.

59d2cbb1fe Linux: Add memfd_create system call wrapper
The system call is somewhat obscure because it is closely related
to file descriptor sealing.  However, it is also the recommended
way to create alias mappings, which is why it has more general use.

No emulation is provided.  Except for the name of the
/proc/self/fd links, it would be possible to implement an
approximation using O_TMPFILE and tmpfs, but this does not appear
to be worth the added complexity.

d08a7e4cbe manual: Replace summary.awk with summary.pl.
The Summary is now generated from @standards, and syntax-checking is
performed.  If invalid @standards syntax is detected, summary.pl will
fail, reporting all errors.  Failure and error reporting is disabled
for now, however, since much of the manual is still incomplete
wrt. header and standards annotations.

Note that the sorting order of the Summary has changed; summary.pl
respects the locale, like summary.awk did, but the use of LC_ALL=C is
introduced in the Makefile.  Other notable deviations are improved
detection of the annotated elements' names, which are used for
sorting, and improved detection of the @node used to reference into
the manual.  The most noticeable difference in the rendered Summary is
that entries may now contain multiple lines, one for each header and
standard combination.

summary.pl accepts a `--help' option, which details the expected
syntax of @standards.  If errors are reported, the user is directed to
this feature for further information.

52bd938169 posix: Implement preadv2 and pwritev2
This patch adds support of preadv2 and pwritev2 which are similar to
preadv/pwritev but with an extra flag argument.  As for preadv/pwritev
both interfaces are added a non-standard GNU API.

For default 'posix' implementation trying to emulate the Linux supported
flags is troublesome:

   * We can not temporary change the file state of the O_DSYNC and O_SYNC
     flags to emulate RWF_{D}SYNC (attempts to change the state of using
     fcntl are silently ignored).

   * IOCB_HIPRI requires the file opened in O_DIRECT and uses an internal
     semantic not provided by any other flag (O_NONBLOCK for instance).

So default sysdeps/posix implementations fails with EOPNOTSUPP for any non
supported flag (which are none currently) calls generic preadv/pwritev.
Basically this implementation supports only preadv2 called as preadv (with
flags sets to 0).

The Linux one uses the preadv2/pwritev2 syscall if defined, otherwise it
call preadv/writev.  Instead of using the previous __ASSUME_* to
unconditionally issue the syscall (and avoid building the fallback routine),
it call pread/write if the preadv2/pwritev2 syscalls fails.  The idea
is just avoid adding another __ASSUME_* and checking each architecture
on every kernel bump and simplify code conditionals.

2fe82ca6dc manual: Convert @tables of variables to @vtables.
Texinfo @vindex commands add entries to the Variable and Constant
Macro Index.  Similarly, @items in @vtables are automatically indexed.
A number of @tables exist where all @items are @vindexed or all @items
are variables, but not indexed, suggesting an optimization by
converting such @tables to @vtables and dropping the @vindex.

Using a @vtable provides a context for processing @items whereby it
can be known the @items should have header and standards annotations.
This commit converts @tables of such @items to @vtables in order to
establish a framework for automated processing.

A pleasant consequence of these changes is that @items previously
lacking a @vindex are present in the Variable and Constant Macro Index
now.  @vindex entries previously detected by summary.awk will still be
detected as @items with appropriate annotations.

The @vtable of the NSS databases is converted to a @table because 1)
those @items are not variables (and will no longer appear in the
Variable and Constant Macro Index) and 2) they do not need header and
standards annotations, so the incorrect context is fixed.

a2887bdb27 manual/llio.texi: Comment on write atomicity.
We add Linux-realted comments about the atomicity of
write with respect to file offsets. As of Linux 3.14
the file offset update is atomic. That means that
multiple threads calling the write syscall can not possibly
get the same file offset. Therefore the writes should
not overlap and data should not be lost as is required
by POSIX.
