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
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
DELOUSE was added to asm code to make them compatible with non-LP64
ABIs, but it is an unfortunate name and the code was not compatible
with ABIs where pointer and size_t are different. Glibc currently
only supports the LP64 ABI so these macros are not really needed or
tested, but for now the name is changed to be more meaningful instead
of removing them completely.
Some DELOUSE macros were dropped: clone, strlen and strnlen used it
unnecessarily.
The out of tree ILP32 patches are currently not maintained and will
likely need a rework to rebase them on top of the time64 changes.
Use return address signing in assembly files for functions that save
LR when pac-ret is enabled in the compiler.
The GNU property note for PAC-RET is not meaningful to the dynamic
linker so it is not strictly required, but it may be used to track
the security property of binaries. (The PAC-RET property is only set
if BTI is set too because BTI implies working GNU property support.)

To enable building glibc with branch protection, assembly code
needs BTI landing pads and ELF object file markings in the form
of a GNU property note.
The landing pads are unconditionally added to all functions that
may be indirectly called. When the code segment is not mapped
with PROT_BTI these instructions are nops. They are kept in the
code when BTI is not supported so that the layout of performance
critical code is unchanged across configurations.
The GNU property notes are only added when there is support for
BTI in the toolchain, because old binutils does not handle the
notes right. (Does not know how to merge them nor to put them in
PT_GNU_PROPERTY segment instead of PT_NOTE, and some versions
of binutils emit warnings about the unknown GNU property. In
such cases the produced libc binaries would not have valid
ELF marking so BTI would not be enabled.)
Note: functions using ENTRY or ENTRY_ALIGN now start with an
additional BTI c, so alignment of the following code changes,
but ENTRY_ALIGN_AND_PAD was fixed so there is no change to the
existing code layout. Some string functions may need to be
tuned for optimal performance after this commit.

Remove some load/store instructions from the dynamic tlsdesc resolver
fast path. This gives around 20% faster tls access in dlopened shared
libraries (assuming glibc ran out of static tls space).
* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-tlsdesc.S (_dl_tlsdesc_dynamic): Optimize.
Backtrace through _dl_tlsdesc_resolve_rela was broken because the offset
of x30 from cfa was not in the debug info.
Add enough annotation so backtracing from the dynamic linker through
tlsdesc entry points works and the debugger shows registers correctly.
Some of the cfi annotations used incorrect sign.
* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-tlsdesc.S (_dl_tlsdesc_return_lazy): Fix
cfi_adjust_cfa_offset argument.
(_dl_tlsdesc_undefweak, _dl_tlsdesc_dynamic): Likewise.
(_dl_tlsdesc_resolve_rela, _dl_tlsdesc_resolve_hold): Likewise.
Lazy TLSDESC initialization needs to be synchronized with concurrent TLS
accesses. The TLS descriptor contains a function pointer (entry) and an
argument that is accessed from the entry function. With lazy initialization
the first call to the entry function updates the entry and the argument to
their final value. A final entry function must make sure that it accesses an
initialized argument, this needs synchronization on systems with weak memory
ordering otherwise the writes of the first call can be observed out of order.
There are at least two issues with the current code:
tlsdesc.c (i386, x86_64, arm, aarch64) uses volatile memory accesses on the
write side (in the initial entry function) instead of C11 atomics.
And on systems with weak memory ordering (arm, aarch64) the read side
synchronization is missing from the final entry functions (dl-tlsdesc.S).
This patch only deals with aarch64.
* Write side:
Volatile accesses were replaced with C11 relaxed atomics, and a release
store was used for the initialization of entry so the read side can
synchronize with it.
* Read side:
TLS access generated by the compiler and an entry function code is roughly
ldr x1, [x0] // load the entry
blr x1 // call it
entryfunc:
ldr x0, [x0,#8] // load the arg
ret
Various alternatives were considered to force the ordering in the entry
function between the two loads:
(1) barrier
entryfunc:
dmb ishld
ldr x0, [x0,#8]
(2) address dependency (if the address of the second load depends on the
result of the first one the ordering is guaranteed):
entryfunc:
ldr x1,[x0]
and x1,x1,#8
orr x1,x1,#8
ldr x0,[x0,x1]
(3) load-acquire (ARMv8 instruction that is ordered before subsequent
loads and stores)
entryfunc:
ldar xzr,[x0]
ldr x0,[x0,#8]
Option (1) is the simplest but slowest (note: this runs at every TLS
access), options (2) and (3) do one extra load from [x0] (same address
loads are ordered so it happens-after the load on the call site),
option (2) clobbers x1 which is problematic because existing gcc does
not expect that, so approach (3) was chosen.
A new _dl_tlsdesc_return_lazy entry function was introduced for lazily
relocated static TLS, so non-lazy static TLS can avoid the synchronization
cost.

This patch moves the AArch64 port to the main sysdeps hierarchy. The
move is essentially:
git mv ports/sysdeps/aarch64 sysdeps/aarch64
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64 sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64
The README is updated and I've updated ChangeLog.aarch64 along the
lines of the ARM move. The AArch64 build has been tested to confirm
that there were no changes in objdump -dr output or the shared
objects.
