CLONE_PARENT is not necessary (CLONE_THREAD provides all the useful
parts of it) and Linux treats CLONE_PARENT as an error in certain
situations, without noticing that it would be a no-op due to
CLONE_THREAD. this error case prevents, for example, use of a
multi-threaded init process and certain usages with containers.

low latency busy poll sockets are new in linux v3.11

PTRACE_GETSIGMASK and PTRACE_SETSIGMASK were added in linux v3.11
and used by checkpoint/restore tools

the removed ARPHRD_IEEE802154_PHY was only present in the kernel api
in v2.6.31 (by accident), but it got into the glibc headers (in 2009)
and remained there since this header was not updated since then.

PAGE_SIZE was hardcoded to 4096, which is historically what most
systems use, but on several archs it is a kernel config parameter,
user space can only know it at execution time from the aux vector.

PAGE_SIZE and PAGESIZE are not defined on archs where page size is
a runtime parameter, applications should use sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE)
to query it. Internally libc code defines PAGE_SIZE to libc.page_size,
which is set to aux[AT_PAGESZ] in __init_libc and early in __dynlink
as well. (Note that libc.page_size can be accessed without GOT, ie.
before relocations are done)

Some fpathconf settings are hardcoded to 4096, these should be actually
queried from the filesystem using statfs.

the value of MQ_PRIO_MAX does not fit, so it needs to use OFLOW.

unlike other archs, the mips version of clone was not doing anything
to align the stack pointer. this seems to have been the cause for some
SIGBUS crashes that were observed in posix_spawn.

msg.h was wrong for big-endian (wrong endiannness padding).
shm.h was just plain wrong (mips is not supposed to have padding).

both changes were tested using libc-test on qemu-system-mips.

the underlying problem was not incorrect sign extension (fixed in the
previous commit to this file by nsz) but that code that treats "long"
as 32-bit was copied blindly from i386 to x86_64.

now lrintl is identical to llrintl on x86_64, as it should be.

if fopen fails for a reason other than ENOENT, we must assume the
intent is that the path file be used. failure may be due to
misconfiguration or intentional resource-exhaustion attack (against
suid programs), in which case falling back to loading libraries from
an unintended path could be dangerous.

gcc did not always drop excess precision according to c99 at assignments
before version 4.5 even if -std=c99 was requested which caused badly
broken mathematical functions on i386 when FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0

but STRICT_ASSIGN was not used consistently and it is worked around for
old compilers with -ffloat-store so it is no longer needed

the new convention is to get the compiler respect c99 semantics and when
excess precision is not harmful use float_t or double_t or to specialize
code using FLT_EVAL_METHOD

apparently gnulib requires invalid long double representations
to be handled correctly in printf so we classify them according
to how the fpu treats them: bad inf is nan, bad nan is nan,
bad normal is nan and bad subnormal/zero is minimal normal

in atanh exception handling was left to the called log functions,
but the argument to those functions could underflow or overflow.

use double_t and float_t to avoid some useless stores on x86

libc.h is only for weak_alias so include it directly where it is used

acosh(x) is invalid for x<1, acoshf tried to be clever using
signed comparisions to handle all x<2 the same way, but the
formula was wrong on large negative values.

copy the fix from i386: return -1 instead of exp2l(x)-1 when x <= -65

there were two problems:
* omitted underflow on subnormal results: exp2l(-16383.5) was calculated
as sqrt(2)*2^-16384, the last bits of sqrt(2) are zero so the down scaling
does not underflow eventhough the result is in subnormal range
* spurious underflow for subnormal inputs: exp2l(0x1p-16400) was evaluated
as f2xm1(x)+1 and f2xm1 raised underflow (because inexact subnormal result)

the first issue is fixed by raising underflow manually if x is in
(-32768,-16382] and not integer (x-0x1p63+0x1p63 != x)

the second issue is fixed by treating x in (-0x1p64,0x1p64) specially

for these fixes the special case handling was completely rewritten

only fma used these macros and the explicit union is clearer

* use new ldshape union consistently
* add ld128 support to frexpl
* simplify sqrtl comment (ld64 is not just arm)

remove STRICT_ASSIGN (c99 semantics is assumed) and use the conventional
union to prepare the scaling factor (so libm.h is no longer needed)

in lgammal don't handle 1 and 2 specially, in fma use the new ldshape
union instead of ld80 one.

* use float_t and double_t
* cleanup subnormal handling
* bithacks according to the new convention (ldshape for long double
and explicit unions for float and double)

* don't care about inexact flag
* use double_t and float_t (faster, smaller, more precise on x86)
* exp: underflow when result is zero or subnormal and not -inf
* exp2: underflow when result is zero or subnormal and not exact
* expm1: underflow when result is zero or subnormal
* expl: don't underflow on -inf
* exp2: fix incorrect comment
* expm1: simplify special case handling and overflow properly
* expm1: cleanup final scaling and fix negative left shift ub (twopk)

ld128 support was added to internal kernel functions (__cosl, __sinl,
__tanl, __rem_pio2l) from freebsd (not tested, but should be a good
start for when ld128 arch arrives)

__rem_pio2l had some code cleanup, the freebsd ld128 code seems to
gather the results of a large reduction with precision loss (fixed
the bug but a todo comment was added for later investigation)

the old copyright was removed from the non-kernel wrapper functions
(cosl, sinl, sincosl, tanl) since these are trivial and the interesting
parts and comments had been already rewritten.

* added ld128 support from freebsd fdlibm (untested)
* using new ldshape union instead of IEEEl2bits
* inexact status flag is not supported

method: if there is a large difference between the scale of x and y
then the larger magnitude dominates, otherwise reduce x,y so the
argument of sqrt (x*x+y*y) does not overflow or underflow and calculate
the argument precisely using exact multiplication. If the argument
has less error than 1/sqrt(2) ~ 0.7 ulp, then the result has less error
than 1 ulp in nearest rounding mode.

the original fdlibm method was the same, except it used bit hacks
instead of dekker-veltkamp algorithm, which is problematic for long
double where different representations are supported. (the new hypot
and hypotl code should be smaller and faster on 32bit cpu archs with
fast fpu), the new code behaves differently in non-nearest rounding,
but the error should be still less than 2ulps.

ld80 and ld128 are supported

* results are exact
* modfl follows truncl (raises inexact flag spuriously now)
* modf and modff only had cosmetic cleanup
* remainder is just a wrapper around remquo now
* using iterative shift+subtract for remquo and fmod
* ld80 and ld128 are supported as well

* faster, smaller, cleaner implementation than the bit hacks of fdlibm
* use arithmetics like y=(double)(x+0x1p52)-0x1p52, which is an integer
neighbor of x in all rounding modes (0<=x<0x1p52) and only use bithacks
when that's faster and smaller (for float it usually is)
* the code assumes standard excess precision handling for casts
* long double code supports both ld80 and ld128
* nearbyint is not changed (it is a wrapper around rint)

use -1/(x*x) instead of -1/(x+0) to return -inf, -0+0 is -0 in
downward rounding mode

* consistent code style
* explicit union instead of typedef for double and float bit access
* turn FENV_ACCESS ON to make 0/0.0f raise invalid flag
* (untested) ld128 version of ilogbl (used by logbl which has ld128 support)

new ldshape union, ld128 support is kept, code that used the old
ldshape union was rewritten (IEEEl2bits union of freebsd libm is
not touched yet)

ld80 __fpclassifyl no longer tries to handle invalid representation

switch to the new __block_all_sigs/__restore_sigs internal API to
clean up the code too.

this protects against deadlock from spurious signals (e.g. sent by
another process) arriving after the controlling thread releases the
other threads from the sync operation.
