The unwind code in libgcc uses this type for unwinding across signal
handlers. On aarch64 the kernel may place a sequence of structs on the
signal stack on top of the ucontext to provide additional information.
The unwinder only needs the header, but added all the types the kernel
currently defines for this mechanism because they are part of the uapi.

previously, commit e7b9887e aligned
the sizes with the glibc ABI. subsequent discussion during the merge
of the aarch64 port reached a conclusion that we should reject larger
arch-specific sizes, which have significant cost and no benefit, and
stick with the existing common 32-bit sizes for all 32-bit/ILP32 archs
and the x86_64 sizes for 64-bit archs.

one peculiarity of this change is that x32 pthread_attr_t is now
larger in musl than in the glibc x32 ABI, making it unsafe to call
pthread_attr_init from x32 code that was compiled against glibc. with
all the ABI issues of x32, it's not clear that ABI compatibility will
ever work, but if it's needed, pthread_attr_init and related functions
could be modified not to write to the last slot of the object.

this is not a regression versus previous releases, since on previous
releases the x32 pthread type sizes were all severely oversized
already (due to incorrectly using the x86_64 LP64 definitions).
moreover, x32 is still considered experimental and not ABI-stable.

This adds complete aarch64 target support including bigendian subarch.

Some of the long double math functions are known to be broken otherwise
interfaces should be fully functional, but at this point consider this
port experimental.

Initial work on this port was done by Sireesh Tripurari and Kevin Bortis.

This is in preparation for the aarch64 port only to have the long
double math symbols available on ld128 platforms. The implementations
should be fixed up later once we have proper tests for these functions.

Added bigendian handling for ld128 bit manipulations too.

Changed the special case handling and bit manipulation to better
match the double version.

There are two main abi variants for thread local storage layout:

 (1) TLS is above the thread pointer at a fixed offset and the pthread
 struct is below that. So the end of the struct is at known offset.

 (2) the thread pointer points to the pthread struct and TLS starts
 below it. So the start of the struct is at known (zero) offset.

Assembly code for the dynamic TLSDESC callback needs to access the
dynamic thread vector (dtv) pointer which is currently at the front
of the pthread struct. So in case of (1) the asm code needs to hard
code the offset from the end of the struct which can easily break if
the struct changes.

This commit adds a copy of the dtv at the end of the struct. New members
must not be added after dtv_copy, only before it. The size of the struct
is increased a bit, but there is opportunity for size optimizations.

due to a logic error in the use of masked cancellation mode,
pthread_cond_wait did not honor PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE but instead
failed with ECANCELED when cancellation was pending.

Implemented as a wrapper around fegetround introducing a new function
to the ABI: __flt_rounds. (fegetround cannot be used directly from float.h)

a conservative estimate of 4*sizeof(size_t) was used as the minimum
alignment for thread-local storage, despite the only requirements
being alignment suitable for struct pthread and void* (which struct
pthread already contains). additional alignment required by the
application or libraries is encoded in their headers and is already
applied.

over-alignment prevented the builtin_tls array from ever being used in
dynamic-linked programs on 64-bit archs, thereby requiring allocation
at startup even in programs with no TLS of their own.

new in linux v3.19 commit ee1b58d36aa1b5a79eaba11f5c3633c88231da83
used to report intel mpx bound violation information.

normally time.h would provide a definition for this struct, but
depending on the feature test macros in use, it may not be exposed,
leading to warnings when it's used in the function prototypes.

these macros have the same distinct definition on blackfin, frv, m68k,
mips, sparc and xtensa kernels. POLLMSG and POLLRDHUP additionally
differ on sparc.

the previous definitions were copied from x86_64. not only did they
fail to match the ABI sizes; they also wrongly encoded an assumption
that long/pointer types are twice as large as int.

this re-check idiom seems to have been copied from the alloc_fwd and
alloc_rev functions, which guess a bin based on non-synchronized
memory access to adjacent chunk headers then need to confirm, after
locking the bin, that the chunk is actually in the bin they locked.

the check being removed, however, was being performed on a chunk
obtained from the already-locked bin. there is no race to account for
here; the check could only fail in the event of corrupt free lists,
and even then it would not catch them but simply continue running.

since the bin_index function is mildly expensive, it seems preferable
to remove the check rather than trying to convert it into a useful
consistency check. casual testing shows a 1-5% reduction in run time.

the malloc init code provided its own version of pthread_once type
logic, including the exact same bug that was fixed in pthread_once in
commit 0d0c2f40.

since this code is called adjacent to expand_heap, which takes a lock,
there is no reason to have pthread_once-type initialization. simply
moving the init code into the interval where expand_heap already holds
its lock on the brk achieves the same result with much less
synchronization logic, and allows the buggy code to be eliminated
rather than just fixed.

the memory model we use internally for atomics permits plain loads of
values which may be subject to concurrent modification without
requiring that a special load function be used. since a compiler is
free to make transformations that alter the number of loads or the way
in which loads are performed, the compiler is theoretically free to
break this usage. the most obvious concern is with atomic cas
constructs: something of the form tmp=*p;a_cas(p,tmp,f(tmp)); could be
transformed to a_cas(p,*p,f(*p)); where the latter is intended to show
multiple loads of *p whose resulting values might fail to be equal;
this would break the atomicity of the whole operation. but even more
fundamental breakage is possible.

with the changes being made now, objects that may be modified by
atomics are modeled as volatile, and the atomic operations performed
on them by other threads are modeled as asynchronous stores by
hardware which happens to be acting on the request of another thread.
such modeling of course does not itself address memory synchronization
between cores/cpus, but that aspect was already handled. this all
seems less than ideal, but it's the best we can do without mandating a
C11 compiler and using the C11 model for atomics.

in the case of pthread_once_t, the ABI type of the underlying object
is not volatile-qualified. so we are assuming that accessing the
object through a volatile-qualified lvalue via casts yields volatile
access semantics. the language of the C standard is somewhat unclear
on this matter, but this is an assumption the linux kernel also makes,
and seems to be the correct interpretation of the standard.

like close, pthread_join is a resource-deallocation function which is
also a cancellation point. the intent of masked cancellation mode is
to exempt such functions from failure with ECANCELED.

pthread_testcancel is not in the ISO C reserved namespace and thus
cannot be used here. use the namespace-protected version of the
function instead.

previously, the __timedwait function was optionally a cancellation
point depending on whether it was passed a pointer to a cleaup
function and context to register. as of now, only one caller actually
used such a cleanup function (and it may face removal soon); most
callers either passed a null pointer to disable cancellation or a
dummy cleanup function.

now, __timedwait is never a cancellation point, and __timedwait_cp is
the cancellable version. this makes the intent of the calling code
more obvious and avoids ugly dummy functions and long argument lists.

as part of abstracting the futex wait, this function suppresses all
futex error values which callers should not see using a whitelist
approach. when the masked cancellation mode was added, the new
ECANCELED error was not whitelisted. this omission caused the new
pthread_cond_wait code using masked cancellation to exhibit a spurious
wake (rather than acting on cancellation) when the request arrived
after blocking on the cond var.

on most cpu models, "rep stosq" has high overhead that makes it
undesirable for small memset sizes. the new code extends the
minimal-branch fast path for short memsets from size 15 up to size
126, and shrink-wraps this code path. in addition, "rep stosq" is
sensitive to misalignment. the cost varies with size and with cpu
model, but it has been observed performing 1.5 times slower when the
destination address is not aligned mod 16. the new code thus ensures
alignment mod 16, but also preserves any existing additional
alignment, in case there are cpu models where it is beneficial.

this version is based in part on changes proposed by Denys Vlasenko.

on most cpu models, "rep stosl" has high overhead that makes it
undesirable for small memset sizes. the new code extends the
minimal-branch fast path for short memsets from size 15 up to size 62,
and shrink-wraps this code path. in addition, "rep stosl" is very
sensitive to misalignment. the cost varies with size and with cpu
model, but it has been observed performing 1.5 to 4 times slower when
the destination address is not aligned mod 16. the new code thus
ensures alignment mod 16, but also preserves any existing additional
alignment, in case there are cpu models where it is beneficial.

this version is based in part on changes to the x86_64 memset asm
proposed by Denys Vlasenko.

Based on a patch by Szabolcs Nagy.

the equivalent checks for newly opened stdio output streams, used to
determine buffering mode, are also fixed.

on most archs, the TCGETS ioctl command shares a value with
SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE, part of the OSS sound API which was apparently
used with certain MIDI and timer devices. for file descriptors
referring to such a device, TCGETS will not fail with ENOTTY as
expected; it may produce a different error, or may succeed, and if it
succeeds it changes the mode of the device. while it's unlikely that
such devices are in use, this is in principle very harmful behavior
for an operation which is supposed to do nothing but query whether the
fd refers to a tty.

TIOCGWINSZ, used to query logical window size for a terminal, was
chosen as an alternate ioctl to perform the isatty check. it does not
share a value with any other ioctl commands, and it succeeds on any
tty device.

this change also cleans up strace output to be less ugly and
misleading.

due to accidental use of = instead of ==, the error code was always
set to zero in the signaled wake case for non-shared cv waits.
suppressing ETIMEDOUT (the only possible wait error) is harmless and
actually permitted in this case, but suppressing mutex errors could
give the caller false information about the state of the mutex.

commit 8741ffe6 introduced this
regression and commit d9da1fb8
preserved it when reorganizing the code.

when we fail to find the entry in the commonly accepted files,  we
query a server over a Unix domain socket on /var/run/nscd/socket.
the protocol used here is compatible with glibc's nscd protocol on
most systems (all that use 32-bit numbers for all the protocol fields,
which appears to be everything but Alpha).

errno was treated as the error status when the return value of getline
was negative, but this condition can simply indicate EOF and is not
necessarily an error.

the spurious errors caused by this bug masked the bug which was fixed
in commit fc5a96c9.

the wrong condition was used in determining the presence of a result
that needs space/copying for the _r functions. a zero return value
does not necessarily mean success; it can also be a non-error negative
result: no such user/group.

it's possible that signaling a waiter races with cancellation of that
same waiter. previously, cancellation was acted upon, causing the
signal to be consumed with no waiter returning. by using the new
masked cancellation state, it's possible to refuse to act on the
cancellation request and instead leave it pending.

to ease review and understanding of the changes made, this commit
leaves the unwait function, which was previously the cancellation
cleanup handler, in place. additional simplifications could be made by
removing it.

this is a new extension which is presently intended only for
experimental and internal libc use. interface and behavior details may
change subject to feedback and experience from using it internally.

the basic concept for the new PTHREAD_CANCEL_MASKED state is that the
first cancellation point to observe the cancellation request fails
with an errno value of ECANCELED rather than acting on cancellation,
allowing the caller to process the status and choose whether/how to
act upon it.

commit 82dc1e2e addressed the
resolution of Austin Group issue 529, which requires close to leave
the fd open when failing with EINTR, by returning the newly defined
error code EINPROGRESS. this turns out to be a bad idea, though, since
legacy applications not aware of the new specification are likely to
interpret any error from close except EINTR as a hard failure.

this requirement is tucked away in XSH 2.9.5 Thread Cancellation under
the heading Thread Cancellation Cleanup Handlers.
