If an executable has copy relocations for extern protected data, that
can only work if the library containing the definition is built with
assumptions (a) the compiler emits GOT-generating relocations (b) the
linker produces R_*_GLOB_DAT instead of R_*_RELATIVE. Otherwise the
library uses its own definition directly and the executable accesses a
stale copy. Note: the GOT relocations defeat the purpose of protected
visibility as an optimization, but allow rtld to make the executable and
library use the same copy when copy relocations are present, but it
turns out this never worked perfectly.
ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA has strange semantics when both
a.so and b.so define protected var and the executable copy relocates
var: b.so accesses its own copy even with GLOB_DAT. The behavior change
is from commit 62da1e3b00b51383ffa7efc89d8addda0502e107 (x86) and then
copied to nios2 (ae5eae7cfc9c4a8297ff82ec6b794faca1976ecc) and arc
(0e7d930c4c11de896fe807f67fa1eb756c9c1e05).
Without ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA, b.so accesses the copy
relocated data like a.so.
There is now a warning for copy relocation on protected symbol since
commit 7374c02b683b7110b853a32496a619410364d70b. It's extremely
unlikely anyone relies on the ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA
behavior, so let's remove it: this removes a check in the symbol lookup
code.

Refine commit 349b0441dab375099b1d7f6909c1742286a67da9:
1. Copy relocations for extern protected data do not work properly,
regardless whether GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS is used.
It makes sense to produce a warning unconditionally.
2. Non-zero value of an undefined function symbol may break pointer
equality, but may be benign in many cases (many programs don't take the
address in the shared object then compare it with the address in the
executable). Reword the diagnostic to be clearer.
3. Remove the unneeded condition !(undef_map->l_1_needed &
GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS). If the executable does
not not have GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS (can only
occur in error cases), the diagnostic should be emitted as well.
When the defining shared object has
GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS, report an error to apply
the intended enforcement.

Both float, double, and _Float128 are assumed to be supported

Unroll slightly and enforce good instruction scheduling. This improves
performance on out-of-order machines. The unrolling allows for
pipelined multiplies.
As well, as an optional sysdep, reorder the operations and prevent
reassosiation for better scheduling and higher ILP. This commit
only adds the barrier for x86, although it should be either no
change or a win for any architecture.
Unrolling further started to induce slowdowns for sizes [0, 4]
but can help the loop so if larger sizes are the target further
unrolling can be beneficial.

The kernel version check is used to avoid glibc to run on older
kernels where some syscall are not available and fallback code are
not enabled to handle graciously fail. However, it does not prevent
if the kernel does not correctly advertise its version through
vDSO note, uname or procfs.
Also kernel version checks are sometime not desirable by users,
where they want to deploy on different system with different kernel
version knowing the minimum set of syscall is always presented on
such systems.
The kernel version check has been removed along with the
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable. The minimum kernel used to
built glibc is still provided through NT_GNU_ABI_TAG ELF note and

The siglist.c is built with -fno-toplevel-reorder to avoid compiler
to reorder the compat assembly directives due an assembler
issue [1] (fixed on 2.39).
This patch removes the compiler flags by split the compat symbol
generation in two phases. First the __sys_siglist and __sys_sigabbrev
without any compat symbol directive is preprocessed to generate an
assembly source code. This generate assembly is then used as input
on a platform agnostic siglist.S which then creates the compat
definitions. This prevents compiler to move any compat directive
prior the _sys_errlist definition itself.
Checked on a make check run-built-tests=no on all affected ABIs.

'get_fast_jitter' is meant to be used purely for performance
purposes. In all cases it's used it should be acceptable to get no
randomness (see default case). An example use case is in setting
jitter for retries between threads at a lock. There is a
performance benefit to having jitter, but only if the jitter can
be generated very quickly and ultimately there is no serious issue
if no jitter is generated.
The implementation generally uses 'HP_TIMING_NOW' iff it is
inlined (avoid any potential syscall paths).

The rtld audit support show two problems on aarch64:
1. _dl_runtime_resolve does not preserve x8, the indirect result
location register, which might generate wrong result calls
depending of the function signature.
2. The NEON Q registers pushed onto the stack by _dl_runtime_resolve
were twice the size of D registers extracted from the stack frame by
_dl_runtime_profile.
While 2. might result in wrong information passed on the PLT tracing,
1. generates wrong runtime behaviour.
The aarch64 rtld audit support is changed to:
* Both La_aarch64_regs and La_aarch64_retval are expanded to include
both x8 and the full sized NEON V registers, as defined by the
ABI.
* dl_runtime_profile needed to extract registers saved by
_dl_runtime_resolve and put them into the new correctly sized
La_aarch64_regs structure.
* The LAV_CURRENT check is change to only accept new audit modules
to avoid the undefined behavior of not save/restore x8.
* Different than other architectures, audit modules older than
LAV_CURRENT are rejected (both La_aarch64_regs and La_aarch64_retval
changed their layout and there are no requirements to support multiple
audit interface with the inherent aarch64 issues).
* A new field is also reserved on both La_aarch64_regs and
La_aarch64_retval to support variant pcs symbols.
Similar to x86, a new La_aarch64_vector type to represent the NEON
register is added on the La_aarch64_regs (so each type can be accessed
directly).
Since LAV_CURRENT was already bumped to support bind-now, there is
no need to increase it again.

The audit symbind callback is not called for binaries built with
-Wl,-z,now or when LD_BIND_NOW=1 is used, nor the PLT tracking callbacks
(plt_enter and plt_exit) since this would change the expected
program semantics (where no PLT is expected) and would have performance
implications (such as for BZ#15533).
LAV_CURRENT is also bumped to indicate the audit ABI change (where
la_symbind flags are set by the loader to indicate no possible PLT
trace).
To handle powerpc64 ELFv1 function descriptor, _dl_audit_symbind
requires to know whether bind-now is used so the symbol value is
updated to function text segment instead of the OPD (for lazy binding
this is done by PPC64_LOAD_FUNCPTR on _dl_runtime_resolve).

Converting double precision constants to float is now affected by the
runtime dynamic rounding mode instead of being evaluated at compile
time with default rounding mode (except static object initializers).
This can change the computed result and cause performance regression.
The known correctness issues (increased ulp errors) are already fixed,
this patch fixes remaining cases of unnecessary runtime conversions.
Add float M_* macros to math.h as new GNU extension API. To avoid
conversions the new M_* macros are used and instead of casting double
literals to float, use float literals (only required if the conversion
is inexact).

It can be used to speed up the libgcc unwinder, and the internal
_dl_find_dso_for_object function (which is used for caller
identification in dlopen and related functions, and in dladdr).
_dl_find_object is in the internal namespace due to bug 28503.
If libgcc switches to _dl_find_object, this namespace issue will
be fixed. It is located in libc for two reasons: it is necessary
to forward the call to the static libc after static dlopen, and
there is a link ordering issue with -static-libgcc and libgcc_eh.a
because libc.so is not a linker script that includes ld.so in the
glibc build tree (so that GCC's internal -lc after libgcc_eh.a does
not pick up ld.so).
It is necessary to do the i386 customization in the
sysdeps/x86/bits/dl_find_object.h header shared with x86-64 because
otherwise, multilib installations are broken.
The implementation uses software transactional memory, as suggested
by Torvald Riegel. Two copies of the supporting data structures are
used, also achieving full async-signal-safety.

hurd initialization stages use RUN_HOOK to run various initialization
functions. That is however using absolute addresses which need to be
relocated, which is done later by csu. We can however easily make the
linker compute relative addresses which thus don't need a relocation.
The new SET_RELHOOK and RUN_RELHOOK macros implement this.

With the morecore hook removed, there is not easy way to provide huge
pages support on with glibc allocator without resorting to transparent
huge pages. And some users and programs do prefer to use the huge pages
directly instead of THP for multiple reasons: no splitting, re-merging
by the VM, no TLB shootdowns for running processes, fast allocation
from the reserve pool, no competition with the rest of the processes
unlike THP, no swapping all, etc.
This patch extends the 'glibc.malloc.hugetlb' tunable: the value
'2' means to use huge pages directly with the system default size,
while a positive value means and specific page size that is matched
against the supported ones by the system.
Currently only memory allocated on sysmalloc() is handled, the arenas
still uses the default system page size.
To test is a new rule is added tests-malloc-hugetlb2, which run the
addes tests with the required GLIBC_TUNABLE setting. On systems without
a reserved huge pages pool, is just stress the mmap(MAP_HUGETLB)
allocation failure. To improve test coverage it is required to create
a pool with some allocated pages.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

Linux Transparent Huge Pages (THP) current supports three different
states: 'never', 'madvise', and 'always'. The 'never' is
self-explanatory and 'always' will enable THP for all anonymous
pages. However, 'madvise' is still the default for some system and
for such case THP will be only used if the memory range is explicity
advertise by the program through a madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) call.
To enable it a new tunable is provided, 'glibc.malloc.hugetlb',
where setting to a value diffent than 0 enables the madvise call.
This patch issues the madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) call after a successful
mmap() call at sysmalloc() with sizes larger than the default huge
page size. The madvise() call is disable is system does not support
THP or if it has the mode set to "never" and on Linux only support
one page size for THP, even if the architecture supports multiple
sizes.
To test is a new rule is added tests-malloc-hugetlb1, which run the
addes tests with the required GLIBC_TUNABLE setting.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
