POSIX states for syslog [1]:
"Values of the priority argument are formed by OR'ing together a
severity-level value and an optional facility value. If no
facility value is specified, the current default facility value is
used."
So the patch fixes an existing violation of the openlog interface contract
where it is ignoring the facility argument when the value is zero
It allows the use LOG_KERN by calling openlog prior syslog usage.

The commit 2433d39b697, which added time64 support to select, changed
the function to use __NR_pselect6 (or __NR_pelect6_time64) on all
architectures. However, on architectures where the symbol was
implemented with __NR_select the kernel normalizes the passed timeout
instead of return EINVAL. For instance, the input timeval
{ 0, 5000000 } is interpreted as { 5, 0 }.
And as indicated by BZ #27651, this semantic seems to be expected
and changing it results in some performance issues (most likely
the program does not check the return code and keeps issuing
select with unormalized tv_usec argument).
To avoid a different semantic depending whether which syscall the
architecture used to issue, select now always normalize the timeout
input. This is a slight change for some ABIs (for instance aarch64).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

This change adds new test to assess select()'s timeout related
functionality (the rdfs set provides valid fd - stderr - but during
normal program operation there is no data to be read, so one just
waits for timeout).
To be more specific - two use cases are checked:
- if select() times out immediately when passed struct timeval has
zero values of tv_usec and tv_sec.
- if select() times out after timeout specified in passed argument

Extern symbol access in position independent code usually involves GOT
indirection which needs RELATIVE reloc in a static linked PIE. (On
some targets this is avoided e.g. because the linker can relax a GOT
access to a pc-relative access, but this is not generally true.) Code
that runs before static PIE self relocation must avoid relying on
dynamic relocations which can be ensured by using hidden visibility.
However we cannot just make all symbols hidden:
On i386, all calls to IFUNC functions must go through PLT and calls to
hidden functions CANNOT go through PLT in PIE since EBX used in PIE PLT
may not be set up for local calls to hidden IFUNC functions.
This patch aims to make symbol references hidden in code that is used
before and by _dl_relocate_static_pie when building a static PIE libc.
Note: for an object that is used in the startup code, its references
and definition may not have consistent visibility: it is only forced
hidden in the startup code.
This is needed for fixing bug 27072.

Introduce a new _FORTIFY_SOURCE level of 3 to enable additional
fortifications that may have a noticeable performance impact, allowing
more fortification coverage at the cost of some performance.
With llvm 9.0 or later, this will replace the use of
__builtin_object_size with __builtin_dynamic_object_size.
__builtin_dynamic_object_size
-----------------------------
__builtin_dynamic_object_size is an LLVM builtin that is similar to
__builtin_object_size. In addition to what __builtin_object_size
does, i.e. replace the builtin call with a constant object size,
__builtin_dynamic_object_size will replace the call site with an
expression that evaluates to the object size, thus expanding its
applicability. In practice, __builtin_dynamic_object_size evaluates
these expressions through malloc/calloc calls that it can associate
with the object being evaluated.
A simple motivating example is below; -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 would miss
this and emit memcpy, but -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 with the help of
__builtin_dynamic_object_size is able to emit __memcpy_chk with the
allocation size expression passed into the function:
void *copy_obj (const void *src, size_t alloc, size_t copysize)
{
void *obj = malloc (alloc);
memcpy (obj, src, copysize);
return obj;
}
Limitations
-----------
If the object was allocated elsewhere that the compiler cannot see, or
if it was allocated in the function with a function that the compiler
does not recognize as an allocator then __builtin_dynamic_object_size
also returns -1.
Further, the expression used to compute object size may be non-trivial
and may potentially incur a noticeable performance impact. These
fortifications are hence enabled at a new _FORTIFY_SOURCE level to
allow developers to make a choice on the tradeoff according to their
environment.

Change sbrk to fail for !__libc_initial (in the generic
implementation). As a result, sbrk is (relatively) safe to use
for the __libc_initial case (from the main libc). It is therefore
no longer necessary to avoid using it in that case (or updating the
brk cache), and the __libc_initial flag does not need to be updated
as part of dlmopen or static dlopen.
As before, direct brk system calls on Linux may lead to memory
corruption.

GCC 11 introduces a -Wstringop-overflow warning for calls to functions
with an array argument passed as a pointer to memory not large enough
for that array. This includes the __sigsetjmp calls from
pthread_cleanup_push macros, because those use a structure in
__pthread_unwind_buf_t, which has a common initial subsequence with
jmp_buf but does not include the saved signal mask; this is OK in this
case because the second argument to __sigsetjmp is 0 so the signal
mask is not accessed.
To avoid this warning, use a function alias __sigsetjmp_cancel with
first argument an array of exactly the type used in the calls to the
function, if using GCC 11 or later. With older compilers, continue to
use __sigsetjmp with a cast, to avoid any issues with compilers
predating the returns_twice attribute not applying the same special
handling to __sigsetjmp_cancel as to __sigsetjmp.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for arm-linux-gnueabi that this fixes
the testsuite build failures.

The __THROW macro and friends expand to "throw ()" for C++ code, but
that syntax is deprecated in C++11 and no longer supported at all since
C++20. In order for glibc headers to be compatible with C++20,
"noexcept" should be used instead.
This patch uses "noexcept (true)" rather than just "noexcept", which is
semantically equivalent, but avoids any possibility of parsing
ambiguities if the next preprocessor token happens to be an opening
parenthesis. This is probably unnecessary, but it seems safer to be
cautious.

The variable is placed in libc.so, and it can be true only in
an outer libc, not libcs loaded via dlmopen or static dlopen.
Since thread creation from inner namespaces does not work,
pthread_create can update __libc_single_threaded directly.
Using __libc_early_init and its initial flag, implementation of this
variable is very straightforward. A future version may reset the flag
during fork (but not in an inner namespace), or after joining all
threads except one.

All functions that have a format string, which can consume a long double
argument, must have one version for each long double format supported on
a platform. On powerpc64le, these functions currently have two versions
(i.e.: long double with the same format as double, and long double with
IBM Extended Precision format). Support for a third long double format
option (i.e. long double with IEEE long double format) is being prepared
and all the aforementioned functions now have a third version (not yet
exported on the master branch, but the code is in).
For these functions to get selected (during build time), references to
them in user programs (or dependent libraries) must get redirected to
the aforementioned new versions of the functions. This patch installs
the header magic required to perform such redirections.
Notice, however, that since the redirections only happen when
__LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 is set to 1, and no platform (including
powerpc64le) currently does it, no redirections actually happen.
Redirections and the exporting of the new functions will happen at the
same time (when powerpc64le adds ldbl-128ibm-compat to their Implies.

This patch adds IEEE long double versions of q*cvt* functions for
powerpc64le. Unlike all other long double to/from string conversion
functions, these do not rely on internal functions that can take
floating-point numbers with different formats and act on them
accordingly, instead, the related files are rebuilt with the
-mabi=ieeelongdouble compiler flag set.
Having -mabi=ieeelongdouble passed to the compiler causes the object
files to be marked with a .gnu_attribute that is incompatible with the
.gnu_attribute in files built with -mabi=ibmlongdouble (the default).
The difference causes error messages similar to the following:
ld: libc_pic.a(s_isinfl.os) uses IBM long double,
libc_pic.a(ieee128-qefgcvt_r.os) uses IEEE long double.
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../Makerules:649: libc_pic.os] Error 1
Although this warning is useful in other situations, the library
actually needs to have functions with different long double formats, so
.gnu_attribute generation is explicitly disabled for these files with
the use of -mno-gnu-attribute.
Tested for powerpc64le on the branch that actually enables the
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm-compat for powerpc64le.

The generic pselect implementation has the very specific race condition
that motived the creation of the pselect syscall (no atomicity in
signal mask set/reset). Using it as generic implementation is
counterproductive Also currently only microblaze uses it as fallback
when used on kernel prior 3.15.
This patch moves the generic implementation to a microblaze specific
one, sets the generic internal as a ENOSYS, and cleanups the Linux
generic implementation.
The microblaze implementation mimics the previous Linux generic one,
where it either uses pselect6 directly if __ASSUME_PSELECT or a
first try pselect6 then the fallback otherwise.

As for gettimeofday, time will be implemented based on clock_gettime
on all platforms and internal code should use clock_gettime
directly. In addition to removing a layer of indirection, this will
allow us to remove the PLT-bypass gunk for gettimeofday.
The changed code always assumes __clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME)
or __clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE) (for Linux case) cannot
fail, using the same rationale for gettimeofday change. And internal
helper was added (time_now).

Historically autofs mounts were not included in mount table
listings. This is the case in other SysV autofs implementations
and was also the case with Linux autofs.
But now that /etc/mtab is a symlink to the proc filesystem
mount table the autofs mount entries appear in the mount table
on Linux.
Prior to the symlinking of /etc/mtab mount table it was
sufficient to call mount(2) and simply not update /etc/mtab
to exclude autofs mounts from mount listings.
Also, with the symlinking of /etc/mtab we have seen a shift in
usage toward using the proc mount tables directly.
But the autofs mount entries need to be retained when coming
from the proc file system for applications that need them
(largely autofs file system users themselves) so filtering out
these entries within the kernel itself can't be done. So it
needs be done in user space.
There are three reasons to omit the autofs mount entries.
One is that certain types of auto-mounts have an autofs mount
for every entry in their autofs mount map and these maps can
be quite large. This leads to mount table listings containing
a lot of unnecessary entries.
Also, this change in behaviour between autofs implementations
can cause problems for applications that use getmntent(3) in
other OS implementations as well as Linux.
Lastly, there's very little that user space can do with autofs
mount entries since this must be left to the autofs mount owner,
typically the automount daemon. But it can also lead to attempts
to access automount managed paths resulting mounts being triggered
when they aren't needed or mounts staying mounted for much longer
thay they need be. While the point of this change ins't to help
with these problems (and it can be quite a problem) it may be
a welcome side effect.
So the Linux autofs file system has been modified to accept a
pseudo mount option of "ignore" (as is used in other OS
implementations) so that user space can use this as a hint to
skip autofs entries on reading the mount table.
The Linux autofs automount daemon used getmntent(3) itself and
has been modified to use the proc file system directly so that
it can "ignore" mount option.
The use of this mount option is opt-in and a configuration
option has been added which defaults to not use this option
so if there are applications that need these entries, other
than autofs itself, they can be retained. Also, since this
filtering is based on an added mount option earlier versions
of Linux autofs iand other autofs file system users will not
use the option and so won't be affected by the change.

Both the buffer and struct mntent are now allocated on the heap.
This results in a slight reduction of RSS usage.

It doesn't make sense to remove all the internal uses of time.
It's still a standard ISO C function, and its callers don't need
sub-second resolution and would be unnecessarily complicated if
they had to declare a struct timespec instead of just a time_t.
However, a handful of places were using the vestigial "result"
argument instead of the return value, which is slightly less
efficient and also looks strange. Correct this.
* misc/syslog.c (__vsyslog_internal)
* time/getdate.c (__getdate_r)
* time/tst_wcsftime.c (main):
Use return value of time, not its argument.
* string/strfry.c (strfry)
* sysdeps/mach/sleep.c (__sleep):
Remove unnecessary casts of NULL in calls to time.

This is currently ineffective with GCC because of GCC PR 80005, but
it makes sense to anticipate a fix for this defect.

This avoids an undefined variable warning with certain GCC versions.
