The kernel ABI is not finalized, and there are now various proposals
to change the size of struct rseq, which would make the glibc ABI
dependent on the version of the kernels used for building glibc.
This is of course not acceptable.
This reverts commit 48699da1c4 ("elf:
Support at least 32-byte alignment in static dlopen"), commit
8f4632deb3 ("Linux: rseq registration

0c76fc3c2b ("Linux: Perform rseq

Sun RPC was removed from glibc. This includes rpcgen program, librpcsvc,
and Sun RPC headers. Also test for bug #20790 was removed
(test for rpcgen).
Backward compatibility for old programs is kept only for architectures
and ABIs that have been added in or before version 2.28.
libtirpc is mature enough, librpcsvc and rpcgen are provided in
rpcsvc-proto project.
NOTE: libnsl code depends on Sun RPC (installed libnsl headers use
installed Sun RPC headers), thus --enable-obsolete-rpc was a dependency

The TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS define is increased to leave additional room for

The increase (76 bytes) is larger than 32 bytes because it has not been

is quite significant, but it will also obscure some initial-exec-related
dlopen failures.
This needs a few test adjustments: In some cases, sigignore was

for the deprecated functions need to disable
-Wdeprecated-declarations, and for the sigmask deprecation,

On platforms where long double may have two different formats, i.e.: the
same format as double (64-bits) or something else (128-bits), building
with -mlong-double-128 is the default and function calls in the user
program match the name of the function in Glibc. When building with
-mlong-double-64, Glibc installed headers redirect such calls to the
appropriate function.
Likewise, the internals of glibc are now built against IEEE long double.
However, the only (minimally) notable usage of long double is difftime.

On powerpc64le, a few files are built on IEEE long double mode

2.31, linking object files with different long double modes causes
errors similar to:
ld: libc_pic.a(s_isinfl.os) uses IBM long double,
libc_pic.a(ieee128-qefgcvt.os) uses IEEE long double.
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../Makerules:649: libc_pic.os] Error 1
The warnings are fair and correct, but in order for glibc to have
support for both long double modes on powerpc64le, they have to be
ignored. This can be accomplished with the use of -mno-gnu-attribute
option when building the few files that require IEEE long double mode.
However, -mno-gnu-attribute is not available in GCC 6, the minimum
version required to build glibc, so this patch adds a test for this
feature in powerpc64le builds, and fails early if it's not available.

Use <arch-syscall.h> instead of <asm/unistd.h> to obtain the system
call numbers. A few direct includes of <asm/unistd.h> need to be
removed (if the system call numbers are already provided indirectly
by <sysdep.h>) or replaced with <sys/syscall.h>.
Current Linux headers for alpha define the required system call names,
so most of the _NR_* hacks are no longer needed. For the 32-bit arm
architecture, eliminate the INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ARM macro, now that we
have regular system call names for cacheflush and set_tls. There are
more such cleanup opportunities for other architectures, but these
cleanups are required to avoid macro redefinition errors during the
build.
For ia64, it is desirable to use <asm/break.h> directly to obtain
the break number for system calls (which is not a system call number
itself). This requires replacing __BREAK_SYSCALL with
__IA64_BREAK_SYSCALL because the former is defined as an alias in
<asm/unistd.h>, but not in <asm/break.h>.

I've updated copyright dates in glibc for 2020. This is the patch for
the changes not generated by scripts/update-copyrights and subsequent
build / regeneration of generated files. As well as the usual annual
updates, mainly dates in --version output (minus libc.texinfo which
previously had to be handled manually but is now successfully updated
by update-copyrights), there is a fix to
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/bits/termios-c_lflag.h where a typo in
the copyright notice meant it failed to be updated automatically.
Please remember to include 2020 in the dates for any new files added
in future (which means updating any existing uncommitted patches you
have that add new files to use the new copyright dates in them).
If a lazy binding failure happens during the execution of an ELF
constructor or destructor, the dynamic loader catches the error
and reports it using the dlerror mechanism. This is undesirable
because there could be other constructors and destructors that
need processing (which are skipped), and the process is in an
inconsistent state at this point. Therefore, we have to issue
a fatal dynamic loader error error and terminate the process.
Note that the _dl_catch_exception in _dl_open is just an inner catch,
to roll back some state locally. If called from dlopen, there is
still an outer catch, which is why calling _dl_init via call_dl_init
and a no-exception is required and cannot be avoiding by moving the
_dl_init call directly into _dl_open.
_dl_fini does not need changes because it does not install an error
handler, so errors are already fatal there.

Consolidate generic gettimeofday implementation to use clock_gettime.
Linux ports that still provide gettimeofday through vDSO are not
changed.
Remove sysdeps/unix/clock_gettime.c, which implemented clock_gettime
using gettimeofday; new OS ports must provide a real implementation of
clock_gettime.
Rename sysdeps/mach/gettimeofday.c to sysdeps/mach/clock_gettime.c and
convert into an implementation of clock_gettime. It only supports
CLOCK_REALTIME; Mach does not appear to have any support for monotonic
clocks. It uses __host_get_time, which provides at best microsecond
resolution. Hurd is currently using sysdeps/posix/clock_getres.c for
clock_getres; its output for CLOCK_REALTIME is based on
sysconf (_SC_CLK_TCK), and I do not know whether that gives the
correct result.
Unlike settimeofday, there are no known uses of gettimeofday's
vestigial "get time zone" feature that are not bugs. (The per-process
timezone support in localtime and friends is unrelated, and the
programs that set the kernel's offset between the hardware clock and
UTC do not need to read it back.) Therefore, this feature is dummied
out. Henceforth, if gettimeofday's "struct timezone" argument is not
NULL, it will write zeroes to both fields. Any program that is
actually looking at this data will thus think it is running in UTC,
which is probably more correct than whatever it was doing before.
[__]gettimeofday no longer has any internal callers, so we can now
remove its internal prototype and PLT bypass aliases. The
__gettimeofday@GLIBC_2.0 export remains, in case it is used by any
third-party code.
It also allows to simplify the arch-specific implementation on x86 and
powerpc to remove the hack to disable the internal route to non iFUNC
variant for internal symbol.
This patch also fixes a missing optimization on aarch64, powerpc, and
x86 where the code used on static build do not use the vDSO.

ftime is an obsolete variation on gettimeofday, offering only

versions of BSD Unix. For historic reasons, we had three
implementations of it. These are all consolidated into time/ftime.c,
and then the function is deprecated.
For some reason, the implementation of ftime in terms of gettimeofday
was rounding rather than truncating microseconds to milliseconds. In
all the other places where we use a higher-resolution time function to
implement a lower-resolution one, we truncate. ftime is changed to
match, just for tidiness' sake.
Like gettimeofday, ftime tries to report the time zone, and using that
information is always a bug. This patch dummies out the reported
timezone information; the timezone and dstflag fields of the
