In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3, the size expression may be non-constant,
resulting in branches in the inline functions remaining intact and
causing a tiny overhead. Clang (and in future, gcc) make sure that
the -1 case is always safe, i.e. any comparison of the generated
expression with (size_t)-1 is always false so that bit is taken care
of. The rest is avoidable since we want the _chk variant whenever we
have a size expression and it's not -1.
Rework the conditionals in a uniform way to clearly indicate two
conditions at compile time:
- Either the size is unknown (-1) or we know at compile time that the
operation length is less than the object size. We can call the
original function in this case. It could be that either the length,
object size or both are non-constant, but the compiler, through
range analysis, is able to fold the *comparison* to a constant.
- The size and length are known and the compiler can see at compile
time that operation length > object size. This is valid grounds for
a warning at compile time, followed by emitting the _chk variant.
For everything else, emit the _chk variant.
This simplifies most of the fortified function implementations and at
the same time, ensures that only one call from _chk or the regular
function is emitted.

In the context of a function definition, the size hints imply that the
size of an object pointed to by one parameter is another parameter.
This doesn't make sense for the fortified versions of the functions
since that's the bit it's trying to validate.
This is harmless with __builtin_object_size since it has fairly simple
semantics when it comes to objects passed as function parameters.
With __builtin_dynamic_object_size we could (as my patchset for gcc[1]
already does) use the access attribute to determine the object size in
the general case but it misleads the fortified functions.
Basically the problem occurs when access attributes are present on
regular functions that have inline fortified definitions to generate
_chk variants; the attributes get inherited by these definitions,
causing problems when analyzing them. For example with poll(fds, nfds,
timeout), nfds is hinted using the __attr_access as being the size of
fds.
Now, when analyzing the inline function definition in bits/poll2.h, the
compiler sees that nfds is the size of fds and tries to use that
information in the function body. In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 case, where the
object size could be a non-constant expression, this information results
in the conclusion that nfds is the size of fds, which defeats the
purpose of the implementation because we're trying to check here if nfds
does indeed represent the size of fds. Hence for this case, it is best
to not have the access attribute.
With the attributes gone, the expression evaluation should get delayed
until the function is actually inlined into its destinations.
Disable the access attribute for fortified function inline functions
when building at _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 to make this work better. The
access attributes remain for the _chk variants since they can be used
by the compiler to warn when the caller is passing invalid arguments.

This change continues the improvements to compile-time out of bounds
checking by decorating more APIs with either attribute access, or by
explicitly providing the array bound in APIs such as tmpnam() that
expect arrays of some minimum size as arguments. (The latter feature
is new in GCC 11.)
The only effects of the attribute and/or the array bound is to check
and diagnose calls to the functions that fail to provide a sufficient
number of elements, and the definitions of the functions that access
elements outside the specified bounds. (There is no interplay with
_FORTIFY_SOURCE here yet.)
Tested with GCC 7 through 11 on x86_64-linux.
I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
