The Linux kernel futex documentation now states that since Linux 2.6.22,
FUTEX_WAIT does return EINTR only when interrupted by a signal, and not
spuriously anymore. We only support more recent kernels, so clean up
EINTR handling in the semaphore and update the comments.

This adds new functions for futex operations, starting with wait,
abstimed_wait, reltimed_wait, wake. They add documentation and error
checking according to the current draft of the Linux kernel futex manpage.
Waiting with absolute or relative timeouts is split into separate functions.
This allows for removing a few cases of code duplication in pthreads code,
which uses absolute timeouts; also, it allows us to put platform-specific
code to go from an absolute to a relative timeout into the platform-specific
futex abstractions..
Futex operations that can be canceled are also split out into separate
functions suffixed by "_cancelable".
There are separate versions for both Linux and NaCl; while they currently
differ only slightly, my expectation is that the separate versions of
lowlevellock-futex.h will eventually be merged into futex-internal.h
when we get to move the lll_ functions over to the new futex API.

sem_timedwait converts absolute timeouts to relative to pass them to
the futex syscall. (Before the recent reimplementation, on x86_64 it
used FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, but not on other architectures.)
Correctly implementing POSIX requirements, however, requires use of
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME; passing a relative timeout to the kernel does
not conform to POSIX. The POSIX specification for sem_timedwait says
"The timeout shall be based on the CLOCK_REALTIME clock.". The POSIX
specification for clock_settime says "If the value of the
CLOCK_REALTIME clock is set via clock_settime(), the new value of the
clock shall be used to determine the time of expiration for absolute
time services based upon the CLOCK_REALTIME clock. This applies to the
time at which armed absolute timers expire. If the absolute time
requested at the invocation of such a time service is before the new
value of the clock, the time service shall expire immediately as if
the clock had reached the requested time normally.". If a relative
timeout is passed to the kernel, it is interpreted according to the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock, and so fails to meet that POSIX requirement in
the event of clock changes.
This patch makes sem_timedwait use lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset with
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME when possible, as done in some other places in
NPTL. FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME is always available for supported Linux
kernel versions; unavailability of lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset is only
an issue for hppa (an issue noted in
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/PortStatus>, and fixed by the
unreviewed
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-12/msg00655.html> that
removes the hppa lowlevellock.h completely).
In the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME case, the glibc code still needs to check
for negative tv_sec and handle that as timeout, because the Linux
kernel returns EINVAL not ETIMEDOUT for that case, so resulting in
failures of nptl/tst-abstime and nptl/tst-sem13 in the absence of that
check. If we're trying to distinguish between Linux-specific and
generic-futex NPTL code, I suppose having this in an nptl/ file isn't
ideal, but there doesn't seem to be any better place at present.
It's not possible to add a testcase for this issue to the testsuite
because of the requirement to change the system clock as part of a
test (this is a case where testing would require some form of
container, with root in that container, and one whose CLOCK_REALTIME
is isolated from that of the host; I'm not sure what forms of
containers, short of a full virtual machine, provide that clock
isolation).
Tested for x86_64. Also tested for powerpc with the testcase included
in the bug.
[BZ #18138]
* nptl/sem_waitcommon.c: Include <kernel-features.h>.
(futex_abstimed_wait)
[__ASSUME_FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME && lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset]:
Use lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset with FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME instead
of lll_futex_timed_wait.

This patch replaces unsigned long int and 1UL with uint64_t and
(uint64_t) 1 to support ILP32 targets like x32.
[BZ #17870]

with uint64_t.
* nptl/sem_waitcommon.c (__sem_wait_cleanup): Replace 1UL with
(uint64_t) 1.
(__new_sem_wait_slow): Replace unsigned long int with uint64_t.
Replace 1UL with (uint64_t) 1.
* sysdeps/nptl/internaltypes.h (new_sem): Replace unsigned long
int with uint64_t.

This commit fixes semaphore destruction by either using 64b atomic
operations (where available), or by using two separate fields when only
32b atomic operations are available. In the latter case, we keep a
conservative estimate of whether there are any waiting threads in one
bit of the field that counts the number of available tokens, thus
allowing sem_post to atomically both add a token and determine whether
it needs to call futex_wake.
