The manual contained several instances of incorrect formatting
that were correct texinfo but produced incorrectly rendered manuals
or incorrect behaviour from the tooling.
The most important was incorrect quoting of function returns
by failing to use {} to quote the return. The impact of this
mistake means that 'info libc func' does not jump to the function
in question but instead to the introductory page under the assumption
that func doesn't exist. The function returns are now correctly
quoted.
The second issue was the use of a category specifier with
@deftypefun which doesn't accept a category specifier. If a category
specifier is required then @deftypefn needs to be used. This is
corrected by changing the command to @deftypefn for such functions
that used {Deprecated function} as a category.
The last issue is a missing space between the function name and the
arguments which results in odd function names like "epoll_wait(int"
instead of "epoll_wait". This also impacts the use of 'info libc'
and is corrected.
We additionally remove ';' from the end of function arguments and
add an 'int' return type for dprintf.
Lastly we add a new test check-deftype.sh which verifies the expected
formatting of @deftypefun, @deftypefunx, @deftypefn, and
@deftypefnx. The new test is also run as the summary file is
generated to ensure we don't generate incorrect results.
The existing check-safety.sh is also run directly as a test to increase
coverage since the existing tests only ran on manual install.
The new tests now run as part of the standard "make check" that
pre-commit CI runs and developers should run.
No regressions on x86_64.

The recursive lock used on abort does not synchronize with a new process
creation (either by fork-like interfaces or posix_spawn ones), nor it
is reinitialized after fork().
Also, the SIGABRT unblock before raise() shows another race condition,
where a fork or posix_spawn() call by another thread, just after the
recursive lock release and before the SIGABRT signal, might create
programs with a non-expected signal mask. With the default option
(without POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF), the process can see SIG_DFL for
SIGABRT, where it should be SIG_IGN.
To fix the AS-safe, raise() does not change the process signal mask,
and an AS-safe lock is used if a SIGABRT is installed or the process
is blocked or ignored. With the signal mask change removal,
there is no need to use a recursive loc. The lock is also taken on
both _Fork() and posix_spawn(), to avoid the spawn process to see the
abort handler as SIG_DFL.
A read-write lock is used to avoid serialize _Fork and posix_spawn
execution. Both sigaction (SIGABRT) and abort() requires to lock
as writer (since both change the disposition).
The fallback is also simplified: there is no need to use a loop of
ABORT_INSTRUCTION after _exit() (if the syscall does not terminate the
process, the system is broken).
The proposed fix changes how setjmp works on a SIGABRT handler, where
glibc does not save the signal mask. So usage like the below will now
always abort.
static volatile int chk_fail_ok;
static jmp_buf chk_fail_buf;
static void
handler (int sig)
{
if (chk_fail_ok)
{
chk_fail_ok = 0;
longjmp (chk_fail_buf, 1);
}
else
_exit (127);
}
[...]
signal (SIGABRT, handler);
[....]
chk_fail_ok = 1;
if (! setjmp (chk_fail_buf))
{
// Something that can calls abort, like a failed fortify function.
chk_fail_ok = 0;
printf ("FAIL\n");
}
Such cases will need to use sigsetjmp instead.
The _dl_start_profile calls sigaction through _profil, and to avoid
pulling abort() on loader the call is replaced with __libc_sigaction.

Several copies of the licenses in files contained whitespace related

The loop should be aligned to 32-bytes so that it can ideally run out
the DSB. This is particularly important on Skylake-Server where
deficiencies in it's DSB implementation make it prone to not being
able to run loops out of the DSB.
For example running strcmp-evex on 200Mb string:
32-byte aligned loop:
- 43,399,578,766 idq.dsb_uops
not 32-byte aligned loop:
- 6,060,139,704 idq.dsb_uops
This results in a 25% performance degradation for the non-aligned
version.
The fix is to just ensure the code layout is such that the loop is
aligned. (Which was previously the case but was accidentally dropped
in 84e7c46df).
NB: The fix was actually 64-byte alignment. This is because 64-byte
alignment generally produces more stable performance than 32-byte
aligned code (cache line crosses can affect perf), so if we are going
past 16-byte alignmnent, might as well go to 64. 64-byte alignment
also matches most other functions we over-align, so it creates a
common point of optimization.
Times are reported as ratio of Time_With_Patch /
Time_Without_Patch. Lower is better.
The values being reported is the geometric mean of the ratio across
all tests in bench-strcmp and bench-strncmp.
Note this patch is only attempting to improve the Skylake-Server
strcmp for long strings. The rest of the numbers are only to test for
regressions.
Tigerlake Results Strings <= 512:
strcmp : 1.026
strncmp: 0.949
Tigerlake Results Strings > 512:
strcmp : 0.994
strncmp: 0.998
Skylake-Server Results Strings <= 512:
strcmp : 0.945
strncmp: 0.943
Skylake-Server Results Strings > 512:
strcmp : 0.778
strncmp: 1.000
The 2.6% regression on TGL-strcmp is due to slowdowns caused by
changes in alignment of code handling small sizes (most on the
page-cross logic). These should be safe to ignore because 1) We
previously only 16-byte aligned the function so this behavior is not
new and was essentially up to chance before this patch and 2) this
type of alignment related regression on small sizes really only comes
up in tight micro-benchmark loops and is unlikely to have any affect
on realworld performance.

The removed character from WIDTH is U+1171E AHOM CONSONANT SIGN MEDIAL RA.

EastAsianWidth.txt 16.0.0: 1171E ; N # Mc AHOM CONSONANT SIGN MEDIAL RA
I.e it changed from Mn (Mark Nonspacing) to Mc (Mark Spacing
combining). So it should now have width 1 instead of 0, therefore it
is OK that it was removed from WIDTH, characters not in WIDTH get
width 1 by default.
Nothing suspicious when browsing the list of the 170 added characters.

About the 33 characters removed from `punct`:
U+0363 - U+036F are identical in UnicodeData.txt. Difference in DerivedCoreProperties.txt:

DerivedCoreProperties.txt 16.0.0: 0363..036F ; Alphabetic # Mn [13] COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER A..COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER X
So that’s the reason why they are added to `alpha` and removed from `punct`.
Same for U+1DD3 - U+1DE6, they are identical in UnicodeData.txt but there is a difference in DerivedCoreProperties.txt:
DerivedCoreProperties.txt 15.1.0: 1DE7..1DF4 ; Alphabetic # Mn [14] COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER ALPHA..COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS
DerivedCoreProperties.txt 16.0.0: 1DD3..1DF4 ; Alphabetic # Mn [34] COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER FLATTENED OPEN A ABOVE..COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS
So they became `Alphabetic` and were thus added to `alpha` and removed from `punct`.

Use the setresuid32 system call if it is available, prefering
it over setresuid. If both system calls exist, setresuid
is the 16-bit variant. This fixes a build failure on
sparcv9-linux-gnu.
Calling an extern function in a different translation unit before
self-relocation is brittle. The compiler may load the address
at an earlier point in _dl_start, before self-relocation. In
_dl_start_final, the call is behind a compiler barrier, so this
cannot happen.
This case is detected early in the elf/dl-version.c consistency
checks. (These checks could be disabled in the future to allow
the removal of symbol versioning from objects.)
Commit f0b2132b35 ("ld.so: Support moving versioned symbols between
sonames [BZ #24741]) removed another call to _dl_name_match_p. The
_dl_check_caller function no longer exists, and the remaining calls
to _dl_name_match_p happen under the loader lock. This means that
atomic accesses are no longer required for the l_libname list. This
supersedes commit 395be7c218 ("elf: Fix data race in _dl_name_match_p
