This patch updates the manual and adds a new chapter to the manual,
explaining types macros, constants and functions defined by ISO C11
threads.h standard.
[BZ# 14092]
* manual/debug.texi: Update adjacent chapter name.
* manual/probes.texi: Likewise.
* manual/threads.texi (ISO C Threads): New section.
(POSIX Threads): Convert to a section.
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.
* manual/Makefile: Generate summary.texi with summary.pl.
Force use of the C locale. Update Perl dependency comment.
* manual/header.texi: Update reference to summary.awk.
* manual/macros.texi: Refer authors to `summary.pl --help'.
* manual/summary.awk: Remove file.
* manual/summary.pl: New file. Generate summary.texi, and
check for @standards-related syntax errors.
* manual/argp.texi: Convert header and standards @comments to
@standards.

With current kernel versions, the check does not reliably detect that
unavailable CPUs are requested, for these reasons:
(1) The kernel will silently ignore non-allowed CPUs, that is, CPUs
which are physically present but disallowed for the thread
based on system configuration.
(2) Similarly, CPU bits which lack an online CPU (possible CPUs)
are ignored.
(3) The existing probing code assumes that the CPU mask size is a
power of two and at least 1024. Neither has it to be a power
of two, nor is the minimum possible value 1024, so the value
determined is often too large. This means that the CPU set
size check in glibc accepts CPU bits beyond the actual hard
system limit.
(4) Future kernel versions may not even have a fixed CPU set size.
After the removal of the probing code, the kernel still returns
EINVAL if no CPU in the requested set remains which can run the
thread after the affinity change.
Applications which care about the exact affinity mask will have
to query it using sched_getaffinity after setting it. Due to the
effects described above, this commit does not change this.
The new tests supersede tst-getcpu, which is removed. This
addresses bug 19164 because the new tests allocate CPU sets
dynamically.
* nptl/check-cpuset.h: Remove.
* nptl/pthread_attr_setaffinity.c (__pthread_attr_setaffinity_new):
Remove CPU set size check.
* nptl/pthread_setattr_default_np.c (pthread_setattr_default_np):
Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check-cpuset.h: Remove.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pthread_setaffinity.c
(__kernel_cpumask_size, __determine_cpumask_size): Remove.
(__pthread_setaffinity_new): Remove CPU set size check.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sched_setaffinity.c
(__kernel_cpumask_size): Remove.
(__sched_setaffinity_new): Remove CPU set size check.
* manual/threads.texi (Default Thread Attributes): Remove stale
reference to check_cpuset_attr, determine_cpumask_size in comment.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile [$(subdir) == posix] (tests):
Remove tst-getcpu. Add tst-affinity, tst-affinity-pid.
[$(subdir) == nptl] (tests): Add tst-thread-affinity-pthread,
tst-thread-affinity-pthread2, tst-thread-affinity-sched.

skeleton test file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-getcpu.c: Remove. Superseded by
tst-affinity-pid.
The glibc manual uses special annotations to include functions
in the summary chapter. These annotations were missing from the
functions in the threads chapter. This patch adds those special
markers and in turn adds these functions to the summary chapter.
pthread_getspecific, pthread_setspecific): Format with
@deftypefun, and add @safety note.
* manual/signal.texi: Move comments that analyze the above
functions to their home place.
