Bug 25487 reports stack corruption in ldbl-96 sinl on a pseudo-zero
argument (an representation where all the significand bits, including
the explicit high bit, are zero, but the exponent is not zero, which
is not a valid representation for the long double type).
Although this is not a valid long double representation, existing
practice in this area (see bug 4586, originally marked invalid but
subsequently fixed) is that we still seek to avoid invalid memory
accesses as a result, in case of programs that treat arbitrary binary
data as long double representations, although the invalid
representations of the ldbl-96 format do not need to be consistently
handled the same as any particular valid representation.
This patch makes the range reduction detect pseudo-zero and unnormal
representations that would otherwise go to __kernel_rem_pio2, and
returns a NaN for them instead of continuing with the range reduction
process. (Pseudo-zero and unnormal representations whose unbiased
exponent is less than -1 have already been safely returned from the
function before this point without going through the rest of range
reduction.) Pseudo-zero representations would previously result in
the value passed to __kernel_rem_pio2 being all-zero, which is
definitely unsafe; unnormal representations would previously result in
a value passed whose high bit is zero, which might well be unsafe
since that is not a form of input expected by __kernel_rem_pio2.

The internal_getut_r function updates the file_offset variable and
therefore must always update last_entry as well.
Previously, if pututxline could not upgrade the read lock to a
write lock, internal_getut_r would update file_offset only,
without updating last_entry, and a subsequent call would not
overwrite the existing utmpx entry at file_offset, instead
creating a new entry. This has been observed to cause unbounded
file growth in high-load situations.
This commit removes the buffer argument to internal_getut_r and
updates the last_entry variable directly, along with file_offset.

On alpha, Linux kernel 5.1 added the standard getegid, geteuid and
getppid syscalls (commit ecf7e0a4ad15287). Up to now alpha was using
the corresponding OSF1 syscalls through:
- sysdeps/unix/alpha/getegid.S
- sysdeps/unix/alpha/geteuid.S
- sysdeps/unix/alpha/getppid.S
When building against kernel headers >= 5.1, the glibc now use the new
syscalls through sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list. When it is then
used with an older kernel, the corresponding 3 functions fail.
A quick fix is to move the OSF1 wrappers under the
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha directory so they override the standard
linux ones. A better fix would be to try the new syscalls and fallback
to the old OSF1 in case the new ones fail. This can be implemented in
a later commit.

aarch64: new ifunc resolver ABI
See the commit log and the comments in sys/ifunc.h for details.
This change should be fully backwards-compatible because the old
code aborted the load if a soname mismatch was encountered
(instead of searching further for a matching symbol). This means
that no different symbols are found.
The soname check was explicitly disabled for the skip_map != NULL
case. However, this only happens with dl(v)sym and RTLD_NEXT,
and those lookups do not come with a verneed entry that could be used
for the check.
The error check was already explicitly disabled for the skip_map !=
NULL case, that is, when dl(v)sym was called with RTLD_NEXT. But
_dl_vsym always sets filename in the struct r_found_version argument
to NULL, so the check was not active anyway. This means that
symbol lookup results for the skip_map != NULL case do not change,
either.
The kernel is evolving this interface (e.g., removal of the
restriction on cross-device copies), and keeping up with that
is difficult. Applications which need the function should
run kernels which support the system call instead of relying on
the imperfect glibc emulation.

Linux only supports the required ISA sysctls on StrongARM devices,

and probably bit-rotted by this point. (No reported test results,
and the last discussion of armv4 support was in the glibc 2.19
release notes.)
GCC 9 dropped support for the SPE extensions to PowerPC, which means
powerpc*-*-*gnuspe* configurations are no longer buildable with that
compiler. This ISA extension was peculiar to the “e500” line of
embedded PowerPC chips, which, as far as I can tell, are no longer
being manufactured, so I think we should follow suit.
This patch was developed by grepping for “e500”, “__SPE__”, and
“__NO_FPRS__”, and may not eliminate every vestige of SPE support.
Most uses of __NO_FPRS__ are left alone, as they are relevant to
normal embedded PowerPC with soft-float.

As discussed previously on libc-alpha [1], this patch follows up the idea
and add both the __attribute_alloc_size__ on malloc functions (malloc,
calloc, realloc, reallocarray, valloc, pvalloc, and memalign) and limit
maximum requested allocation size to up PTRDIFF_MAX (taking into
consideration internal padding and alignment).
This aligns glibc with gcc expected size defined by default warning
-Walloc-size-larger-than value which warns for allocation larger than
PTRDIFF_MAX. It also aligns with gcc expectation regarding libc and
expected size, such as described in PR#67999 [2] and previously discussed
ISO C11 issues [3] on libc-alpha.
From the RFC thread [4] and previous discussion, it seems that consensus
is only to limit such requested size for malloc functions, not the system
allocation one (mmap, sbrk, etc.).
The implementation changes checked_request2size to check for both overflow
and maximum object size up to PTRDIFF_MAX. No additional checks are done
on sysmalloc, so it can still issue mmap with values larger than
PTRDIFF_T depending on the requested size.
The __attribute_alloc_size__ is for functions that return a pointer only,
which means it cannot be applied to posix_memalign (see remarks in GCC
PR#87683 [5]). The runtimes checks to limit maximum requested allocation
size does applies to posix_memalign.

As the result of commit 6e6249d0b4

clock_gettime, clock_getres, clock_settime, clock_getcpuclockid,
clock_nanosleep were added to libc, and the file rt/clock-compat.c
was added with forwarders to the actual implementations in libc.
These forwarders were wrapped in
#if SHLIB_COMPAT (librt, GLIBC_2_2, GLIBC_2_17)
so that they are not present for newer architectures (such as
powerpc64le) with a 2.17 or later ABI baseline. But the forwarders
were not marked as compatibility symbols. As a result, on older
architectures, historic configure checks such as
AC_CHECK_LIB(rt, clock_gettime)
still cause linking against librt, even though this is completely
unnecessary. It also creates a needless porting hazard because
architectures behave differently when it comes to symbol availability.

As discussed during development for glibc 2.29, when we increased the
required minimum GCC version for building glibc to GCC 5, working
purely based on the times at which such requirements have been
increased in the past it would be appropriate for glibc 2.30 to
require GCC 6 (matching GCC 4.9 having been required for glibc 2.26).
Naming 6.2 specifically as the minimum version then means a separate
version requirement no longer needs to be specified for powerpc64le.
Thus, this patch increases the minimum to 6.2, removing the
documentation of the separate requirement for powerpc64le. It does
not remove the powerpc64le configure test, or any __GNUC_PREREQ that
could be removed as not being in installed headers or files shared
