Both open and openat load their last argument 'mode' lazily, using
va_arg() only if O_CREAT is found in oflag. This is wrong, mode is also
necessary if O_TMPFILE is in oflag.
By chance on x86_64, the problem wasn't evident when using O_TMPFILE
with open, as the 3rd argument of open, even when not loaded with
va_arg, is left untouched in RDX, where the syscall expects it.
However, openat was not so lucky, and O_TMPFILE couldn't be used: mode
is the 4th argument, in RCX, but the syscall expects its 4th argument in
a different register than the glibc wrapper, in R10.
Introduce a macro __OPEN_NEEDS_MODE (oflag) to test if either O_CREAT or
O_TMPFILE is set in oflag.
Tested on Linux x86_64.

soft-fp calls abort in various cases that the code doesn't handle, all
cases that should never actually occur for any supported choice of
types.
Calling an abort function is not appropriate for kernel use, so the
Linux kernel redefines abort as a macro in various ways in the ports
using this code, typically to "return 0" or similar.
One use of abort in soft-fp is inside a comma expression and doesn't
work with such a macro. This patch changes it to use a statement
expression.
Tested for powerpc-nofpu that installed shared libraries are unchanged
by this patch.
(There are two classes of aborts: those to make control flow visible
to the compiler, in default cases of switches over _FP_CLS_COMBINE,
which could reasonably change to __builtin_unreachable for glibc but
would still need to handle pre-4.5 compilers for kernel use, and those
intended to detect any use of soft-fp for combinations of types the
code doesn't know how to handle, which could reasonably become link
failures if the calls should always be optimized away. But those are
separate possible future enhancements.)

This patch fixes bug 15319, missing underflows from atan / atan2 when
the result of atan is very close to its small argument (or that of
atan2 is very close to the ratio of its arguments, which may be an
exact division).
The usual approach of doing an underflowing computation if the
computed result is subnormal is followed. For 32-bit x86, there are
extra complications: the inline __ieee754_atan2 in bits/mathinline.h
needs to be disabled for float and double because other libm functions
using it generally rely on getting proper underflow exceptions from
it, while the out-of-line functions have to remove excess range and
precision from the underflowing result so as to return an exact 0 in
the case where errno should be set for underflow to 0. (The failures
I saw without that are similar to those Carlos reported for other
functions, where I haven't seen a response to
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-01/msg00485.html>
confirming if my diagnosis is correct. Arguably all libm functions
with float and double returns should remove excess range and
precision, but that's a separate matter.)
The x86_64 long double case reported in a comment in bug 15319 is not
a bug (it's an argument of LDBL_MIN, and x86_64 is an after-rounding
architecture so the correct IEEE result is not to raise underflow in
the given rounding mode, in addition to treating the result as an
exact LDBL_MIN being within the newly clarified documentation of
accuracy goals). I'm presuming that the fpatan instruction can be
trusted to raise appropriate exceptions when the (long double) result
underflows (after rounding) and so no changes are needed for x86 /
x86_64 long double functions here; empirically this is the case for
the cases covered in the testsuite, on my system.
Tested for x86_64, x86, powerpc and mips64. Only 32-bit x86 needs
ulps updates (for the changes to inlines meaning some functions no
longer get excess precision from their __ieee754_atan2* calls).

posix_spawn (a standard POSIX function) brings in a use of getrlimit64
(not a standard POSIX function). This patch fixes this by using
__getrlimit64 and making getrlimit64 a weak alias.
This is more complicated than some such changes because of files that
define getrlimit64 in their own way using symbol versioning after
including the main sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getrlimit64.c with a
getrlimit macro defined. There are various existing patterns for such
cases in glibc; the one I've used here is that a getrlimit64 macro
disables the weak_alias / libc_hidden_weak calls, leaving it to the
including file to define the getrlimit64 name in whatever way is
appropriate.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.

This patch refines the math.texi documentation of the goals for when
libm function raise the inexact and underflow exceptions. The
previous text was problematic in some cases around the underflow
threshold.
* Strictly, it would have meant that if the mathematical result of pow
was very slightly below DBL_MIN, for example, it was required to
raise the underflow exception; although normally a few ulps error
would be OK, if that error meant the computed value was slightly
above DBL_MIN it would fail the previously described underflow
exception goal.
* Similarly, strict IEEE semantics would imply that sin (DBL_MIN), in
round-to-nearest mode, underflows on before-rounding but not
after-rounding architectures, while returning DBL_MIN; the previous
wording would have required an underflow exception, so preventing
checks for a result with absolute value below DBL_MIN from being
sufficient checks to determine whether the exception is required.
(Under the previous wording, checks for a result with absolute value
<= DBL_MIN wouldn't have been sufficient either, because in
FE_TOWARDZERO mode a result of DBL_MIN definitely does not result
from an underflowing infinite-precision result.)
* The previous wording about rounding infinite-precision values could
be taken to mean all exceptions including "inexact" must be
consistent with some such value. That would mean that a result of
DBL_MIN in FE_UPWARD mode with "inexact" raised must also have
"underflow" raised on before-rounding architectures. Again, that
would cause problems for computing a result (possibly with spurious
"inexact" exceptions) and then using a rounding-mode-independent
test for results with absolute value below DBL_MIN to determine
whether an underflow exception must be forced in case the underflows
from intermediate computations happened to be exact.
By refining the documentation, this patch avoids stating goals for
accuracy close to the underflow threshold that were stricter than
applied anywhere else, and allows the implementation strategy of:
compute a result within a few ulps, taking care to avoid underflows in
intermediate computations, then force an underflow exception if that
result was subnormal. Only fully-defined functions such as fma need
to take greater care about the exact underflow threshold (including
its dependence on whether the architecture is before-rounding or
after-rounding, and on the rounding mode on after-rounding
architectures).
(If the rounding mode is changed as part of the computation, it's
still necessary to ensure that not just intermediate computations, but
the final computation of the result to be returned, do not raise
underflow if that result is the least normal value and underflow would
be inconsistent with the original rounding mode. Since such code can
readily discard exceptions as part of saving and restoring the
rounding mode - SET_RESTORE_ROUND_NOEX etc. - I don't think that
should be a problem in practice.)
* manual/math.texi (Errors in Math Functions): Clarify goals
regarding inexact and underflow exceptions.
ia64 seems to use the same implementation of low-level locks as the
generic Linux lowlevellock.h. The futex syscalls are somewhat
different, but Roland thought it shouldn't matter. Note that the futex
calls are on the slow path always (except for PI mutexes).
Removing the custom low-level lock implementation will make further
refactoring easier, for example adding proper error checking to futex
operations.
Various remquo implementations produce a zero remainder with the wrong
sign (a zero remainder should always have the sign of the first
argument, as specified in IEEE 754) in round-downward mode, resulting

their sign accordingly.

Various remquo implementations, when computing the last three bits of
the quotient, have spurious overflows when 4 times the second argument
to remquo overflows. These overflows can in turn cause bad results in
rounding modes where that overflow results in a finite value. This

they would overflow, similar to those that control an earlier
multiplication by 8.

This patch is neither built nor tested but is equivalent to a MIPS
patch for the same fix.
The dbl-64/wordsize-64 remquo implementation follows similar logic to
various other implementations, but where that logic computes some
absolute values, it wrongly uses a previously computed bit-pattern for
the absolute value of the first argument, where actually it needs the
absolute value of the first argument mod 8 times the second. This
patch fixes it to compute the correct absolute value.
The integer quotient result of remquo is only specified mod 8
(including its sign); architecture-specific versions may well vary in
what results they give for higher bits of that result (and indeed bug
17569 gives an example correct result from __builtin_remquo giving 9
for that result, where the particular glibc implementation used in
that bug report would give 1 after this fix). Thus, this patch adapts
the tests of remquo to test that result only mod 8, to allow for such
variation when tests with higher quotient are included.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.

Similarly to sqrt in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00353.html>, the
powerpc sqrtf implementation for when _ARCH_PPCSQ is not defined also
relies on a * b + c being contracted into a fused multiply-add.
Although this contraction is not explicitly disabled for e_sqrtf.c, it
still seems appropriate to make the file explicit about its
requirements by using __builtin_fmaf; this patch does so.
Furthermore, it turns out that doing so fixes the observed inaccuracy
and missing exceptions (that is, that without explicit __builtin_fmaf
usage, it was not being compiled as intended).

<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-01/msg00451.html>, the
powerpc sqrt implementation for when _ARCH_PPCSQ is not defined is
inaccurate in some cases.
The problem is that this code relies on fused multiply-add, and relies
on the compiler contracting a * b + c to get a fused operation. But
sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/Makefile disables contraction for e_sqrt.c,
because the implementation in that directory relies on *not* having
contracted operations.
While it would be possible to arrange makefiles so that an earlier
sysdeps directory can disable the setting in
sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/Makefile, it seems a lot cleaner to make the
dependence on fused operations explicit in the .c file. GCC 4.6
introduced support for __builtin_fma on powerpc and other
architectures with such instructions, so we can rely on that; this
patch duly makes the code use __builtin_fma for all such fused
operations.
Tested for powerpc32 (hard float).

[BZ #17964]
* sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/e_sqrt.c (__slow_ieee754_sqrt): Use
__builtin_fma instead of relying on contraction of a * b + c.
The tv_sec is of type time_t in both struct timeval and struct timespec.
This matches the implementation and also the relevant standard (checked
C11 for timespec and opengroup for timeval).
This patch fixes the remaining part of bug 16560, spurious underflows
from exp2 of arguments close to 0 (when the result is close to 1, so
should not underflow), by just using 1+x instead of a more complicated
calculation when the argument is sufficiently small.
Tested for x86_64, x86 and mips64.
[BZ #16560]
* math/e_exp2l.c [LDBL_MANT_DIG == 106] (LDBL_EPSILON): Undefine
and redefine.
(__ieee754_exp2l): Do not multiply small fractional parts by
M_LN2l.
* sysdeps/i386/fpu/e_exp2l.S (__ieee754_exp2l): Just add 1 to
small argument.
* sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/e_exp2.c (__ieee754_exp2): Likewise.
* sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32/e_exp2f.c (__ieee754_exp2f): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/e_exp2l.S (__ieee754_exp2l): Likewise.
* math/auto-libm-test-in: Add more tests of exp2.
* math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
This patch optimizes strncpy for power7 for unaligned source or
destination address. The source or destination address is aligned
to doubleword and data is shifted based on the alignment and
added with the previous loaded data to be written as a doubleword.
For each load, cmpb instruction is used for faster null check.
The new optimization shows 10 to 70% of performance improvement
for longer string though it does not show big difference on string
size less than 16 due to additional checks.Hence this new algorithm
is restricted to string greater than 16.
pthread_mutexattr_settype adds PTHREAD_MUTEX_NO_ELISION_NP to kind,
which is an internal flag that pthread_mutexattr_gettype shouldn't
expose, since pthread_mutexattr_settype wouldn't accept it.
and revert the corresponding part of ba90e05 which was making the fix
necessary.
* abi-tags: Revert ae20c9a: rename back gnu into gnu-gnu.
* configure.ac, configure: Revert ba90e05: modify gnu-* host_os back
into gnu-gnu, and update comment to refer to abi-tags.
