* manual/string.texi: Editorial fixes. Do not say “text” when
“string” or “string contents” is meant, as a C string can contain
bytes that are not valid text in the current encoding.
When warning about strcat efficiency, warn similarly about strncat

FreeBSD makes these functions available by default, so we should
not treat them as GNU-specific and restrict them to _GNU_SOURCE.

As indicated by sparc kernel-features.h, even though sparc64 defines
__NR_pause, it is not supported (ENOSYS). Always use ppoll or the
64 bit time_t variant instead.
The error handling is moved to sysdeps/ieee754 version with no SVID
support. The compatibility symbol versions still use the wrapper
with SVID error handling around the new code. There is no new symbol
version nor compatibility code on !LIBM_SVID_COMPAT targets
(e.g. riscv).
The ia64 is unchanged, since it still uses the arch specific
__libm_error_region on its implementation. For both i686 and m68k,
which provive arch specific implementation, wrappers are added so
no new symbol are added (which would require to change the
implementations).
It shows an small improvement, the results for fmod:

This uses a new algorithm similar to already proposed earlier [1].
With x = mx * 2^ex and y = my * 2^ey (mx, my, ex, ey being integers),
the simplest implementation is:
mx * 2^ex == 2 * mx * 2^(ex - 1)
while (ex > ey)
{
mx *= 2;
--ex;
mx %= my;
}
With mx/my being mantissa of double floating pointer, on each step the
argument reduction can be improved 8 (which is sizeof of uint32_t minus
MANTISSA_WIDTH plus the signal bit):
while (ex > ey)
{
mx << 8;
ex -= 8;
mx %= my;
} */
The implementation uses builtin clz and ctz, along with shifts to
convert hx/hy back to doubles. Different than the original patch,
this path assume modulo/divide operation is slow, so use multiplication
with invert values.
I see the following performance improvements using fmod benchtests
(result only show the 'mean' result):

Linux kernel uses AT_HWCAP2 to indicate if FSGSBASE instructions are
enabled. If the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE bit in AT_HWCAP2 is set, FSGSBASE
instructions can be used in user space. Define dl_check_hwcap2 to set
the FSGSBASE feature to active on Linux when the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE bit is
set.
Add a test to verify that FSGSBASE is active on current kernels.
NB: This test will fail if the kernel doesn't set the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE
bit in AT_HWCAP2 while fsgsbase shows up in /proc/cpuinfo.
