this commit is for the sake of reviewable history.

analogous to commit 1c9afd69 for
atan[2][f].

for functions implemented in C, this is a requirement of C11 (F.6);
strictly speaking that text does not apply to standard library
functions, but it seems to be intended to apply to them, and C2x is
expected to make it a requirement.

failure to drop excess precision is particularly bad for inverse trig
functions, where a value with excess precision can be outside the
range of the function (entire range, or range for a particular
subdomain), breaking reasonable invariants a caller may expect.

this extends commit 5a105f19, removing
timer[fd]_settime and timer[fd]_gettime. the timerfd ones are likely
to have been used in software that started using them before it could
rely on libc exposing functions.

this extends commit 5a105f19, removing
clock_settime, clock_getres, clock_nanosleep, and settimeofday.

catan was fixed in 10e4bd37 but the
same bug in catanf and catanl was overlooked. the patch is completely
analogous.

under _GNU_SOURCE for namespace cleanliness, analogous to other archs.
the original placement in sys/reg.h seems not to have been motivated;
such a header isn't even present on other implementations.

some nontrivial number of applications have historically performed
direct syscalls for these operations rather than using the public
functions. such usage is invalid now that time_t is 64-bit and these
syscalls no longer match the types they are used with, and it was
already harmful before (by suppressing use of vdso).

since syscall() has no type safety, incorrect usage of these syscalls
can't be caught at compile-time. so, without manually inspecting or
running additional tools to check sources, the risk of such errors
slipping through is high.

this patch renames the syscalls on 32-bit archs to clock_gettime32 and
gettimeofday_time32, so that applications using the original names
will fail to build without being fixed.

note that there are a number of other syscalls that may also be unsafe
to use directly after the time64 switchover, but (1) these are the
main two that seem to be in widespread use, and (2) most of the others
continue to have valid usage with a null timeval/timespec argument, as
the argument is an optional timeout or similar.

_POSIX_VDISABLE is only visible if unistd.h has already been included,
so conditional use of it here makes no sense. the value is always 0
anyway; it does not vary.

this is not necessary for linux but is a simple, inexpensive change to
make that facilitates ports to systems where NAME_MAX needs to be
longer.

This patch adds an explicit cast to the int arguments passed to the
inline asm used in the RISC-V's implementation of `a_cas`, to ensure
that they are properly sign extended to 64 bits. They aren't
automatically sign extended by Clang, and GCC technically also doesn't
guarantee that they will be sign extended.

gawk 5 complains.

For Thumb2 compatibility, replace two instances of a single
instruction "orr with a variable shift" with the two instruction
equivalent. Neither of the replacements are in a performance critical
loop.

the bug fixed in commit b82cd6c7 was
mostly masked on arm because __hwcap was zero at the point of the call
from the dynamic linker to __set_thread_area, causing the access to
libc.auxv to be skipped and kuser_helper versions of TLS access and
atomics to be used instead of the armv6 or v7 versions. however, on
kernels with kuser_helper removed for hardening it would crash.

since __set_thread_area potentially uses __hwcap, it must be
initialized before the function is called. move the AT_HWCAP lookup
from stage 3 to stage 2b.

This macro exists since Linux 2.6.25 and is defined in glibc since 2011.

commit 1b0ce9af introduced this bug
back in 2012 and it was never noticed, presumably since the affected
planes are essentially unused in Unicode.

This enables alternative compilers, which may not define __GNUC__,
to implement alloca, which is still fairly widely used.

This is similar to how stdarg.h already works in musl; compilers must
implement __builtin_va_arg, there is no fallback definition.

this change was discussed on the mailing list thread for the linux
uapi v5.3 patches, and submitted as a v2 patch, but overlooked when I
applied the patches much later.

revert commit f291c09e and apply the
v2 as submitted; the net change is just padding.

notes by Szabolcs Nagy follow:

compared to the linux uapi (and glibc) a padding is used instead of
aligned attribute for keeping the layout the same across targets, this
means the alignment of the struct may be different on some targets
(e.g. m68k where uint64_t is 2 byte aligned) but that should not affect
syscalls and this way the abi does not depend on nonstandard extensions.

at least gcc 9 broke execution of DT_INIT/DT_FINI for fdpic archs
(presently only sh) by recognizing that the stores to the
compound-literal function descriptor constructed to call them were
dead stores. there's no way to make a "may_alias function", so instead
launder the descriptor through an asm-statement barrier. in practice
just making the compound literal volatile seemed to have worked too,
but this should be less of a hack and more accurately convey the
semantics of what transformations are not valid.

commit 1c84c999 moved the call to
__init_tp above the initialization of libc.auxv, inadvertently
breaking archs where __set_thread_area examines auxv for the sake of
determining the TLS/atomic model needed at runtime. this broke armv6
and sh2.

this interface contract is entirely internal to dynlink.c.

the syscall numbers were reserved in v5.3 but not wired up on mips, see

mips application specific isa extensions were previously not exported
in hwcaps so userspace could not apply optimized code at runtime.

MADV_COLD hints that the memory range is currently not needed (unlike
with MADV_FREE the content is not garbage, it needs to be swapped):

so it can be reclaimed immediately independently of memory pressure
(unlike with MADV_DONTNEED the content is not garbage):

adding this condition makes the entire convert_ioctl_struct function
and compat_map table statically unreachable, and thereby optimized out
by dead code elimination, on archs where they are not needed.

VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ is a device-specific command for the omap3isp
video device. the command number is in a device-private range and
therefore could theoretically be used by other devices too in the
future, but problematic clashes should not be able to arise without
intentional misuse.
