based on patch by Denys Vlasenko. sorting sections and common data
symbols by alignment acts as an approximation for optimal packing,
which the linker does not actually support.

based on patch by Denys Vlasenko. the original intent for using these
options was to enable linking optimizations. these are immediately
available for static linking applications to libc.a, and will also be
used for linking libc.so in a subsequent commit.

in addition to the original motives, this change works around a whole
class of toolchain bugs where the compiler generates relative address
expressions using a weak symbol and the assembler "optimizes out" the
relocation which should result by using the weak definition. (see gas
pr 18561 and gcc pr 66609, 68178, etc. for examples.) by having
different functions and data objects in their own sections, all
relative address expressions are cross-section and thus cannot be
resolved to constants until link time. this allows us to retain
support for affected compiler/assembler versions without invasive
and fragile source-level workarounds.

this conditional path was never tested because there are no compilers
that conform to annex g (none with _Imaginary_I).

this assumption is borderline-unsafe to begin with, and fails badly
with -ffunction-sections since the linker can move the callee
arbitrarily far away when it lies in a different section.

this way, overriding these variables on the make command line (or just
re-passing the originally-passed values when invoking make) won't
suppress use of the flags added by configure.

since mremap with the MREMAP_FIXED flag is an operation that unmaps
existing mappings, it needs to use the vm lock mechanism to ensure
that any in-progress synchronization operations using vm identities
from before the call have finished.

also, the variadic argument was erroneously being read even if the
MREMAP_FIXED flag was not passed. in practice this didn't break
anything, but it's UB and in theory LTO could turn it into a hard
error.

It's quite feasible for this to happen via MREMAP_MAYMOVE.

previously, only archs that needed to do stack cleanup defined a
__cp_cancel label for acting on cancellation in their syscall asm, and
a default definition was provided by a weak alias to __cancel, the C
function. this resulted in wrong codegen for arm on gcc versions
affected by pr 68178 and possibly similar issues (like pr 66609) on
other archs, and also created an inconsistency where the __cp_begin
and __cp_end labels were treated as const data but __cp_cancel was
treated as a function. this in turn caused incorrect code generation
on archs where function pointers point to function descriptors rather
than code (for now, only sh/fdpic).

using the actual mcontext_t definition rather than an overlaid pointer
array both improves correctness/readability and eliminates some ugly
hacks for archs with 64-bit registers bit 32-bit program counter.

also fix UB due to comparison of pointers not in a common array
object.

when a library being loaded has bss (i.e. data segment with
p_memsz>p_filesz), this region needs to be zeroed with a combination
of memset and/or mmap. the regular ELF loader always did this but the
FDPIC code path omitted it, leading to objects in bss having
uninitialized/junk contents.

getnameinfo() compares the size of the given struct sockaddr with
sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) and sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6) depending on
the net family. When you add a sockaddr of size sizeof(struct
sockaddr_storage) this function will fail because the size of the
sockaddr is too big. Change the check that it only fails if the size is
too small, but make it work when it is too big for example when someone
calls this function with a struct sockaddr_storage and its size.
This fixes a problem with IoTivity 1.0.0 and musl.

glibc and bionic are only failing if it is smaller, net/freebsd
implemented the != check.

previously, transient failures like fd exhaustion or other
resource-related errors were treated the same as non-existence of
these files, leading to fallbacks or false-negative results. in
particular:

- failure to open hosts resulted in fallback to dns, possibly yielding
  EAI_NONAME for a hostname that should be defined locally, or an
  unwanted result from dns that the hosts file was intended to
  replace.

- failure to open services resulted in EAI_SERVICE.

- failure to open resolv.conf resulted in querying localhost rather
  than the configured nameservers.

now, only permanent errors trigger the fallback behaviors above; all
other errors are reportable to the caller as EAI_SYSTEM.

the buffer enlargement logic here accounted for the terminating null
byte, but not for the possibility of hitting the delimiter in the
buffer-refill code path that uses getc_unlocked, in which case two
additional bytes (the delimiter and the null termination) are written
without another chance to enlarge the buffer.

this patch and the corresponding bug report are by Felix Janda.

the option to suppress executable stack tagging was placed in CFLAGS,
which is treated as optional and overridable by the build system. if a
user replaces CFLAGS after configure has run, it could get lost,
resulting in a libc.so that's flagged as needing executable stack,
which would cause the kernel to map the initial stack as executable.

move -Wa,--noexecstack to CFLAGS_C99FSE, the make variable used for
mandatory compiler options.

these per-target CFLAGS adjustments are mandatory additions to the
command line for building the affected targets, not part of the
user-provided CFLAGS for tuning. my intent was always that the
variable append operations would take place after user settings, but
when a variable is set on the command line, it overrides all
definitions in the makefile, including target-specific ones.

based on patch by Szabolcs Nagy.

Some armhf gcc toolchains (built with --with-float=hard but without
--with-fpu=vfp*) do not pass -mfpu=vfp to the assembler and then
binutils rejects the UAL mnemonics for VFP unless there is an .fpu vfp
directive in the asm source.

POSIX requires pthread_join to synchronize memory on success.  The
futex wait inside __timedwait_cp cannot handle this because it's not
called in all cases.  Also, in the case of a spurious wake, tid can
become zero between the wake and when the joining thread checks it.

when determining which module an address belongs to, all function
descriptor ranges must be checked first, in case the allocated memory
falls inside another module's memory range.

dladdr itself must also check addresses against function descriptors
before doing a best-match search against the symbol table. even when
doing the latter (e.g. for code addresses obtained from mcontext_t),
also check whether the best-match was a function, and if so, replace
the result with a function descriptor address. which is the nominal
"base address" of the function and which the caller needs if it
intends to subsequently call the matching function.

since commits 2907afb8 and
6fc30c24, __dls2 is no longer called
via symbol lookup, but instead uses relative addressing that needs to
be resolved at link time. on some linker versions, and/or if
-Bsymbolic-functions is not used, the linker may leave behind a
dynamic relocation, which is not suitable for bootstrapping the
dynamic linker, if the reference to __dls2 is marked hidden but the
definition is not actually hidden. correcting the definition to use
hidden visibility fixes the problem.

the static-PIE entry point rcrt1 was likewise affected and is also
fixed by this patch.

we need access to all instructions in order for runtime selection of
atomic model to work correctly. without this patch, some versions of
gcc instruct gas to reject instructions outside the target isa level.

other archs use asm for the thread pointer load, so making that asm
volatile is sufficient to inform the compiler that it has a "side
effect" (crashing or giving the wrong result if the thread pointer was
not yet initialized) that prevents reordering. however, powerpc and
or1k have dedicated general purpose registers for the thread pointer
and did not need to use any asm to access it; instead, "local register
variables with a specified register" were used. however, there is no
specification for ordering constraints on this type of usage, and
presumably use of the thread pointer could be reordered across its
initialization.

to impose an ordering, I have added empty volatile asm blocks that
produce the "local register variable with a specified register" as
an output constraint.

this builds on commits a603a75a and
0ba35d69 to ensure that a compiler
cannot conclude that it's valid to reorder the asm to a point before
the thread pointer is set up, or to treat the inline function as if it
were declared with attribute((const)).

other archs already use volatile asm for thread pointer loading.

commit a603a75a did this for the
public pthread_self function but not the internal inline one.

strftime results are unspecified in this case, but should not invoke
undefined behaviour.

tm_wday, tm_yday, tm_mon and tm_year fields were used in signed int
arithmetic that could overflow.

since commit c5e34dab, crt1.c has
provided a "mostly-C" implementation of the crt1 start file that
avoids the need for arch-specific symbol referencing, PIC/PIE-specific
code variants, etc. but for archs that had existing hand-written
versions, the new code was initially unused, and later only used as
the dynamic linker entry point. this commit switches all archs to
using the new code.

the code being removed was a recurring source of subtle errors, and
was still broken at least on arm, where it failed to properly align
the stack pointer before calling into C code.

a register used as an index in the memory destination of a mov
instruction was wrongly interpreted as the destination of the mov.

binary ops like ADD, AND, etc. modify the 2nd operand, not 1st.

as found and reported by Brian Mastenbrook, the expressions
400*qc_cycles and years+100 in __secs_to_tm were both subject to
integer overflow for extreme values of the input t.

this patch by Szabolcs Nagy fixes the code by switching to larger
types, and matches the original intent I had in mind when writing this
code.

the specification for these functions requires that the buffer/size
exposed to the caller be valid after any successful call to fflush or
fclose on the stream. the implementation's approach is to update them
only at flush time, but that misses the case where fflush or fclose is
called without any writes having taken place, in which case the write
flushing callback will not be called.

to fix both the observable bug and the desired invariant, setup empty
buffers at open time and fail the open operation if no memory is
available.

fdiv and fmul instructions were wrongly matched by the rules for
integer div and mul instructions, leading to incorrect conclusions
about register values being clobbered.

There is a lot which could be common between i386 and x86_64, but none
of it will be useful for any other arch. These should be useful for
all archs, however.

commit 844212d9, which did not make it
into any releases, changed nl_langinfo(CODESET) to always return
"UTF-8", even in the byte-based C locale. this was problematic because
application software was found to use the string match for "UTF-8" to
activate its own UTF-8 processing. this both undermines the byte-based
functionality of the C locale, and if mixed with with calls to the
standard multibyte functions, which happened in practice, could result
in severe mis-handling of input.

the motive for the previous change was that, to avoid widespread
compatibility problems, the string returned by nl_langinfo(CODESET)
needs to be accepted by iconv and by third-party character conversion
code. thus, the only remaining choice is "ASCII". this choice
accurately represents the intent that high bytes do not have
individual meaning in the C locale, but it does mean that iconv, when
passed nl_langinfo(CODESET) in the C locale, will produce errors in
cases where mbrtowc would have succeeded. for reference, glibc behaves
similarly in this regard, so I don't think it will be a problem.

patch by Anand Takale.

some newer binutils versions print scary warnings about protected data
because most gcc versions fail to produce the right address
references/relocations for such data that might be subject to copy
relocations. originally vis.h explicitly assigned default visibility
to all public data symbols to avoid this issue, but commit
b8dda24f removed this treatment for
stdin/out/err to work around a gcc 3.x bug, and since they don't
actually need it (because taking their addresses is not valid C).

instead, a check for the gcc 3.x bug is added to the configure check
for vis.h preinclude support; this feature will simply be disabled
when using a buggy version of gcc.

previously, __lookup_ipliteral only checked its argument against the
requested address family, so IPv4 literals passed through to
__lookup_name if the caller asked for only IPv6 results, and likewise
for IPv6 literals when the caller asked for only IPv4. this resulted
in spurious DNS lookups that reportedly even succeeded with some
nameservers.

now, __lookup_ipliteral attempts to parse its argument as both IPv4
and IPv6, and returns an error (to stop further search) rather than 0
(no results yet) if the form of the argument mismatches the requested
address family.

this case is specified as a mandatory ("shall fail") error.
