Fixes BZ #15339.
NSS_STATUS_UNAVAIL may mean that a necessary input resource is not
available. This could occur in a number of cases including when the
network is down, system runs out of file descriptors, etc. The
correct differentiator in such a case is the h_errno, which gives the
nature of failure. In case of failures other than a simple 'not
found', we set h_errno as NETDB_INTERNAL and let errno be the
identifier for the exact error.
This implementation speed up memset in several ways. First is avoiding
expensive computed jump. Second is using fact that arguments of memset
are most of time aligned to 8 bytes.
Benchmark results on:

We add new memcpy version that uses unaligned loads which are fast
on modern processors. This allows second improvement which is avoiding
computed jump which is relatively expensive operation.

[BZ #15442] This adds support for the inverse interpretation of the
quiet bit of IEEE 754 floating-point NaN data that some processors
use. This includes in particular MIPS architecture processors; the
payload used for the canonical qNaN encoding is updated accordingly
so as not to interfere with the quiet bit.
The EXTRACT_WORDS64 and INSERT_WORDS64 macros use movd for a 64-bit
operation. Somehow gcc manages to turn this into movq, but LLVM won't.

* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/math_private.h (MOVQ): New macro.
(EXTRACT_WORDS64) Use where appropriate.
(INSERT_WORDS64) Likewise.
While these instructions accept memory operands, only one operand
may be a memory operand. Giving two operands xm constraints gives
the compiler the option of using memory for both operands, which
would result in invalid assembly code. Using x for all operands is
more appropriate, as most x86_64 calling conventions will pass the
arguments in registers anyway.

constraints with x constraints.

PowerPC kernel now provides a vDSO implementation for time syscall
(commit fcb41a2030abe0eb716ef0798035ef9562097f42). This patch changes
time syscall wrapper to use the vDSO when available. It also changes
the default non vDSO time on PowerPC to use sysdeps/posix/time.c
(since gettimeofday is a vDSO call).
* sysdeps/gnu/netinet/tcp.h (TCP_TIMESTAMP): New value, from
Linux 3.9.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/socket.h (PF_VSOCK, AF_VSOCK):
Add.
(PF_MAX): Adjust for VSOCK change.
This patch fix the 3c0265394d commits
by correctly setting minimum architecture for modf PPC optimization
to power5+ instead of power5 (since only on power5+ round/ceil will
be inline to inline assembly).
Kay Sievers reported that coreutils' stat tool has a problem with
s390's statfs[64] definition:
> The definition of struct statfs::f_type needs a fix. s390 is the only
> architecture in the kernel that uses an int and expects magic
> constants lager than INT_MAX to fit into.
>
> A fix is needed to make Fedora boot on s390, it currently fails to do
> so. Userspace does not want to add code to paper-over this issue.
[...]
> Even coreutils cannot handle it:
> #define RAMFS_MAGIC 0x858458f6
> # stat -f -c%t /
> ffffffff858458f6
>
> #define BTRFS_SUPER_MAGIC 0x9123683E
> # stat -f -c%t /mnt
> ffffffff9123683e
The bug is caused by an implicit sign extension within the stat tool:
out_uint_x (pformat, prefix_len, statfsbuf->f_type);
where the format finally will be "%lx".
A similar problem can be found in the 'tail' tool.
s390 is the only architecture which has an int type f_type member in
struct statfs[64]. Other architectures have either unsigned ints or
long values, so that the problem doesn't occur there.
Therefore change the type of the f_type member to unsigned int, so
that we get zero extension instead sign extension when assignment to
a long value happens.

We no longer support configuring for i386, nor do we
elide such a configuration to i686. Configuring with
i386-* is a failure, and we provide an example of
how to fix that.

* configure.in: Remove i386 configure warning. Remove i386 case.

The value of PI is never exactly PI in any floating point representation,
and the value of PI/2 is never PI/2. It is wrong to expect cos(M_PI_2l)
to return 0, instead it will return an answer that is non-zero because
M_PI_2l doesn't round to exactly PI/2 in the type used.
That is to say that the correct answer is to do the following:
* Take PI or PI/2.
* Round to the floating point representation.
* Take the rounded value and compute an infinite precision cos or sin.
* Use the rounded result of the infinite precision cos or sin as the
answer to the test.
I used printf to do the type rounding, and Wolfram's Alpha to do the
infinite precision cos calculations.
The following changes bring x86-64 and x86 to 1/2 ulp for two tests.
It shows that the x86 cos implementation is quite good, and that
our test are flawed.
Unfortunately given that the rounding errors are type dependent we
need to fix this for each type. No regressions on x86-64 or x86.

This change does two things:
* Treats a target i386-* as if it were i686.
* Fails configure if the user is generating code
for i386.
We no longer support i386 code-generation because the i386
lacks the atomic operations we need in glibc.
You can still configure for i386-*, but you get i686 code.
You can't build with --march=i386, --mtune=i386 or a compiler
that defaults to i386 code-generation.
I've added two i386 entries in the master todo list to discuss
merging and renaming:
http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Development_Todo/Master#i386
The failure modes are fail-safe here. You compile for i386,
get i686, and try to run on i386 and it fails. The configure
log has a warning saying we elided to i686. There is no situation
that I can see where we run into any serious problems.
The patch makes the current state better in that we get less
confused users and we build successfully in more default
configurations.
The next enhancement would be to add --march=i?86
as suggested in #c20 of BZ#10062 for any i?86-* builds, which
would solve the problem of a 32-bit compiler that defaults to
i386 code-gen and glibc configured for i686-* target. Which
previously failed at build time, and now will fail at configure
time (requires adding --march=i686).
Updated NEWS with BZ #10060 and #10062.
No regressions.

The s390 and s390x sysdep.h files include the more generic sysdep.h.
The more generic sysdep.h defines PSEUDO. This causes an annoying
CPP warning saying the PSEUDO was redefined. This patch removes the
warning by undefining PSEUDO before the redefinition. This is in line
with what all the other machines do.

Fix BZ #15305.
On kernel versions earlier than 2.6.29, the Linux kernel exported a
sysctl called restrict_chown for xfs, which could be used to allow
chown to users other than the owner. 2.6.29 removed this support,
causing the open_not_cancel_2 to fail and thus modify errno. The fix
is to save and restore errno so that the caller sees it as unmodified.
Additionally, since the code to check the sysctl is not useful on
newer kernels, we add an ifdef so that in future the code block gets
rmeoved completely.
The branch prediction hints is actually hurts performance in this case.
The assembly implementation make two assumptions: 1. 'fabs (x) < 2^52'
is unlikely and 2. 'x > 0.0' is unlike (if 1. is true). Since it a
general floating point function, expected input is not bounded and then
it is better to let the hardware handle the branches.
The compiler is smart enough to convert those into double for powerpc,
but if we put them as doubles, it adds overhead by performing those
operations in floating point mode.
The mantissa of mp_no is intended to take only integral values. This
is a relatively good choice for powerpc due to its 4 fpus, but not for
other architectures, which suffer due to this choice. This change
makes the default mantissa a long integer and allows powerpc to
override it. Additionally, some operations have been optimized for
integer manipulation, resulting in a significant improvement in
performance.
The patch increase the high value to check if expl overflows. Current
high mark value is not really correct, the algorithm accepts high values.
It also adds a correct wrapper function to check for overflow and underflow.
Due to a typo repeated several times, this bug hasn't been fixed yet,
despite being marked as resolved in glibc 2.12.
* sysdeps/x86_64/strcmp.S: Replace all occurrences of NOT_IN_lib
with NOT_IN_libc.
