3ef5e118f2 nptl: Fix niggles with pthread_clockjoin_np
Joseph Myers spotted[1] that 69ca4b54c1 added
pthread_clockjoin_np to sysdeps/nptl/pthread.h but not to its hppa-specific
equivalent sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/pthread.h.

Rafal Luzynski spotted[2] typos in the NEWS entry and manual updates too.

Florian Weimer spotted[3] that the clockid parameter was not using a
reserved identifier in pthread.h.

69ca4b54c1 nptl: Add pthread_clockjoin_np
Introduce pthread_clockjoin_np as a version of pthread_timedjoin_np that
accepts a clockid_t parameter to indicate which clock the timeout should be
measured against. This mirrors the recently-added POSIX-proposed "clock"
wait functions.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

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."

e996fa72a9 nptl: Add POSIX-proposed pthread_rwlock_clockrdlock & pthread_rwlock_clockwrlock
Add:
 int pthread_rwlock_clockrdlock (pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock,
                                 clockid_t clockid,
                                 const struct timespec *abstime)
and:
 int pthread_rwlock_clockwrlock (pthread_rwlock_t *rwlock,
                                 clockid_t clockid,
                                 const struct timespec *abstime)

which behave like pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock and
pthread_rwlock_timedwrlock respectively, except they always measure
abstime against the supplied clockid. The functions currently support
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC and return EINVAL if any other
clock is specified.

	* sysdeps/nptl/pthread.h: Add pthread_rwlock_clockrdlock and
	pthread_wrlock_clockwrlock.
	* nptl/Makefile: Build pthread_rwlock_clockrdlock.c and
	pthread_rwlock_clockwrlock.c.

	* nptl/pthread_rwlock_clockwrlock.c: Implement
	pthread_rwlock_clockwrlock.
	* nptl/pthread_rwlock_common.c (__pthread_rwlock_rdlock_full): Add
	clockid parameter and verify that it indicates a supported clock on
	entry so that we fail even if it doesn't end up being used. Pass
	that clock on to futex_abstimed_wait when necessary.
	(__pthread_rwlock_wrlock_full): Likewise.
	* nptl/pthread_rwlock_rdlock.c: (__pthread_rwlock_rdlock): Pass
	CLOCK_REALTIME to __pthread_rwlock_rdlock_full even though it won't
	be used because there's no timeout.
	* nptl/pthread_rwlock_wrlock.c (__pthread_rwlock_wrlock): Pass
	CLOCK_REALTIME to __pthread_rwlock_wrlock_full even though it won't
	be used because there is no timeout.
	* nptl/pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock.c (pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock):

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.

2359035ac5 Remove CPU set size checking from affinity functions [BZ #19143]
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

	(__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.

ef563f925a Add header and standard information to threads.texi.
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.
