The following patch uses the GCC 14 __builtin_stdc_* builtins in stdbit.h
for the type-generic macros, so that when compiled with GCC 14 or later,
it supports not just 8/16/32/64-bit unsigned integers, but also 128-bit
(if target supports them) and unsigned _BitInt (any supported precision).
And so that the macros don't expand arguments multiple times and can be
evaluated in constant expressions.
The new testcase is gcc's gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/builtin-stdc-bit-1.c
adjusted to test stdbit.h and the type-generic macros in there instead
of the builtins and adjusted to use glibc test framework rather than
gcc style tests with __builtin_abort ().

In qsort_r we allocate a buffer sized QSORT_STACK_SIZE (1024) on stack
and we intend to use it if all elements can fit into it. But there is a
typo:
if (total_size < sizeof buf)
buf = tmp;
else
/* allocate a buffer on heap and use it ... */
Here "buf" is a pointer, thus sizeof buf is just 4 or 8, instead of
1024. There is also a minor issue that we should use "<=" instead of
"<".
This bug is detected debugging some strange heap corruption running the
Ruby-3.3.0 test suite (on an experimental Linux From Scratch build using
Binutils-2.41.90 and Glibc trunk, and also Fedora Rawhide [1]). It
seems Ruby is doing some wild "optimization" by jumping into somewhere
in qsort_r instead of calling it normally, resulting in a double free of
buf if we allocate it on heap. The issue can be reproduced
deterministically with:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libc_malloc_debug.so MALLOC_CHECK_=3 \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./ruby test/runner.rb test/ruby/test_enum.rb
in Ruby-3.3.0 tree after building it. This change would hide the issue
for Ruby, but Ruby is likely still buggy (if using this "optimization"
sorting larger arrays).

The mergesort removal from qsort implementation (commit 03bf8357e8)
had the side-effect of making sorting nonstable. Although neither
POSIX nor C standard specify that qsort should be stable, it seems
that it has become an instance of Hyrum's law where multiple programs
expect it.
Also, the resulting introsort implementation is not faster than
the previous mergesort (which makes the change even less appealing).
This patch restores the previous mergesort implementation, with the
exception of machinery that checks the resulting allocation against
the _SC_PHYS_PAGES (it only adds complexity and the heuristic not
always make sense depending on the system configuration and load).
The alloca usage was replaced with a fixed-size buffer.
For the fallback mechanism, the implementation uses heapsort. It is
simpler than quicksort, and it does not suffer from adversarial
inputs. With memory overcommit, it should be rarely triggered.
The drawback is mergesort requires O(n) extra space, and since it is
allocated with malloc the function is AS-signal-unsafe. It should be
feasible to change it to use mmap, although I am not sure how urgent
it is. The heapsort is also nonstable, so programs that require a
stable sort would still be subject to this latent issue.
The tst-qsort5 is removed since it will not create quicksort adversarial
inputs with the current qsort_r implementation.

C23 adds a header <stdbit.h> with various functions and type-generic
macros for bit-manipulation of unsigned integers (plus macro defines
related to endianness). Implement this header for glibc.
The functions have both inline definitions in the header (referenced
by macros defined in the header) and copies with external linkage in
the library (which are implemented in terms of those macros to avoid
duplication). They are documented in the glibc manual. Tests, as
well as verifying results for various inputs (of both the macros and
the out-of-line functions), verify the types of those results (which
showed up a bug in an earlier version with the type-generic macro
stdc_has_single_bit wrongly returning a promoted type), that the
macros can be used at top level in a source file (so don't use ({})),
that they evaluate their arguments exactly once, and that the macros
for the type-specific functions have the expected implicit conversions
to the relevant argument type.
Jakub previously referred to -Wconversion warnings in type-generic
macros, so I've included a test with -Wconversion (but the only
warnings I saw and fixed from that test were actually in inline
functions in the <stdbit.h> header - not anything coming from use of
the type-generic macros themselves).
This implementation of the type-generic macros does not handle
unsigned __int128, or unsigned _BitInt types with a width other than
that of a standard integer type (and C23 doesn't require the header to
handle such types either). Support for those types, using the new
type-generic built-in functions Jakub's added for GCC 14, can
reasonably be added in a followup (along of course with associated
tests).
This implementation doesn't do anything special to handle C++, or have
any tests of functionality in C++ beyond the existing tests that all
headers can be compiled in C++ code; it's not clear exactly what form
this header should take in C++, but probably not one using macros.
DIS ballot comment AT-107 asks for the word "count" to be added to the
names of the stdc_leading_zeros, stdc_leading_ones,
stdc_trailing_zeros and stdc_trailing_ones functions and macros. I
don't think it's likely to be accepted (accepting any technical
comments would mean having an FDIS ballot), but if it is accepted at
the WG14 meeting (22-26 January in Strasbourg, starting with DIS
ballot comment handling) then there would still be time to update
glibc for the renaming before the 2.39 release.
The new functions and header are placed in the stdlib/ directory in
glibc, rather than creating a new toplevel stdbit/ or putting them in
string/ alongside ffs.

This patch removes the mergesort optimization on qsort implementation
and uses the introsort instead. The mergesort implementation has some
issues:
- It is as-safe only for certain types sizes (if total size is less
than 1 KB with large element sizes also forcing memory allocation)
which contradicts the function documentation. Although not required
by the C standard, it is preferable and doable to have an O(1) space
implementation.
- The malloc for certain element size and element number adds
arbitrary latency (might even be worse if malloc is interposed).
- To avoid trigger swap from memory allocation the implementation
relies on system information that might be virtualized (for instance
VMs with overcommit memory) which might lead to potentially use of
swap even if system advertise more memory than actually has. The
check also have the downside of issuing syscalls where none is
expected (although only once per execution).
- The mergesort is suboptimal on an already sorted array (BZ#21719).
The introsort implementation is already optimized to use constant extra
space (due to the limit of total number of elements from maximum VM
size) and thus can be used to avoid the malloc usage issues.
Resulting performance is slower due the usage of qsort, specially in the
worst-case scenario (partialy or sorted arrays) and due the fact
mergesort uses a slight improved swap operations.
This change also renders the BZ#21719 fix unrequired (since it is meant
to fix the sorted input performance degradation for mergesort). The
manual is also updated to indicate the function is now async-cancel
safe.

Since the _FORTIFY_SOURCE feature uses some routines of Glibc, they need to
be excluded from the fortification.
On top of that:
- some tests explicitly verify that some level of fortification works
appropriately, we therefore shouldn't modify the level set for them.
- some objects need to be build with optimization disabled, which
prevents _FORTIFY_SOURCE to be used for them.
Assembler files that implement architecture specific versions of the
fortified routines were not excluded from _FORTIFY_SOURCE as there is no
C header included that would impact their behavior.
