the bz instruction that was wrongly used only admits a small immediate
displacement and cannot be used with external symbols; apparently the
linker fails to diagnose the overflow.

this has been slated for removal for a long time. there is
fundamentally no way to implement stdarg without compiler assistance;
any attempt to do so has serious undefined behavior; its working
depends not just (as a common misconception goes) on ABI, but also on
assumptions about compiler code generation internal to a translation
unit, which is not subject to external ABI constraints.

gdb can only backtrace/unwind across signal handlers if it recognizes
the sa_restorer trampoline. for x86_64, gdb first attempts to
determine the symbol name for the function in which the program
counter resides and match it against "__restore_rt". if no name can be
found (e.g. in the case of a stripped binary), the exact instruction
sequence is matched instead.

when matching the function name, however, gdb's unwind code wrongly
considers the interval [sym,sym+size] rather than [sym,sym+size).
thus, if __restore_rt begins immediately after another function, gdb
wrongly identifies pc as lying within the previous adjacent function.
this patch adds a nop before __restore_rt to preclude that
possibility. it also removes the symbol name __restore and replaces it
with a macro since the stability of whether gdb identifies the
function as __restore_rt or __restore is not clear.

for the no-symbols case, the instruction sequence is changed to use
%rax rather than %eax to match what gdb expects.

On s390x, the kernel provides AT_SYSINFO_EHDR, but sets it to zero, if the
program being run does not have a program interpreter.  This causes
problems when running the dynamic linker directly.

alpha and s390x gratuitously use 64-bit entries (wasting 2x space and
cache utilization) despite the values always being 32-bit.

based on patch by Bobby Bingham, with changes suggested by Alexander
Monakov to use the public Elf_Symndx type from link.h (and make it
properly variable by arch) rather than adding new internal
infrastructure for handling the type.

commit 31fb174d used
DEFAULT_GUARD_SIZE from pthread_impl.h in a static initializer,
breaking build on archs where its definition, PAGE_SIZE, is not a
constant. instead, just define DEFAULT_GUARD_SIZE as 4096, the minimal
page size on any arch we support. pthread_create rounds up to whole
pages anyway, so defining it to 1 would also work, but a moderately
meaningful value is nicer to programs that use
pthread_attr_getguardsize on default-initialized attribute objects.

based on patch by Timo Teräs:

While generally this is a bad API, it is the only existing API to
affect c++ (std::thread) and c11 (thrd_create) thread stack size.
This patch allows applications only to increate stack and guard
page sizes.

commit 33ce9208 broke pthread_create
in the case where a null attribute pointer is passed; rather than
using the default sizes, sizes of 0 (plus the remainder of one page
after TLS/TCB use) were used.

the linux kernel uapi headers provide their own definitions of the
structures from netinet/in.h, resulting in errors when a program
includes both the standard libc header and one or more of the
networking-related kernel headers that pull in the kernel definitions.

as before, we do not attempt to support the case where kernel headers
are included before the libc ones, since the kernel definitions may
have subtly incorrect types, namespace violations, etc. however, we
can easily support the inclusion of the kernel headers after the libc
ones, since the kernel headers provide a public interface for
suppressing their definitions. this patch adds the necessary macro
definitions for such suppression.

previously, the pthread_attr_t object was always initialized all-zero,
and stack/guard size were represented as differences versus their
defaults. this required lots of confusing offset arithmetic everywhere
they were used. instead, have pthread_attr_init fill in the default
values, and work with absolute sizes everywhere.

the swprintf write callback never reset its buffer pointers, so after
its 256-byte buffer filled up, it would keep repeating those bytes
over and over in the output until the destination buffer filled up. it
also failed to set the error indicator for the stream on EILSEQ,
potentially allowing output to continue after the error.

the overflow check for years+100 did not account for the extra
year computed from the remaining months. instead, perform this
check after obtaining the final number of years.

If a DT_NEEDED entry was the prefix of a reserved library name
(up to the first dot) then it was incorrectly treated as a libc
reserved name.

e.g. libp.so dependency was not loaded as it matched libpthread
reserved name.

this was harmless as load_library is not called concurrently,
but it used one word of bss.

the value 19991006 for __RES implies availability of res_ninit and
related functions that take a resolver state argument; these are not
supported since our resolver is stateless. instead claim support for
just the older API by defining __RES to 19960801.

Fix parsing of the < > quoted time zone names. Compare the correct
character instead of repeatedly comparing the first character.

this header is XSI-shaded itself and thus does not need to limit
specific content to _XOPEN_SOURCE.

the old snprintf design setup the FILE buffer pointers to point
directly into the destination buffer; if n was actually larger than
the buffer size, the pointer arithmetic to compute the buffer end
pointer was undefined. this affected sprintf, which is implemented in
terms of snprintf, as well as some unusual but valid direct uses of
snprintf.

instead, setup the FILE as unbuffered and have its write function
memcpy to the destination. the printf core sets up its own temporary
buffer for unbuffered streams.

inclusion of these names was unintentional and in most cases is a
namespace violation. Daniel Sabogal tracked down and reported these.

the _CS_V6_ENV and _CS_V7_ENV constants are required to be available for use
with confstr. glibc defines these constants with values 1148 and 1149,
respectively.

the only missing (and required) confstr constants are
_CS_POSIX_V7_THREADS_CFLAGS and _CS_POSIX_V7_THREADS_LDFLAGS which remain
unavailable in glibc.

commit 6ffdc457 set lnz in the code
path for non-zero digits after a huge string of zeros, but the
assignment of dc to lnz truncates if the value of dc does not fit in
int; this is possible for some pathologically long inputs, either via
strings on 64-bit systems or via scanf-family functions.

instead, simply set lnz to match the point at which we add the
artificial trailing 1 bit to simulate nonzero digits after a huge
run of zeros.

the mid-sized integer optimization relies on lnz set up properly
to mark the last non-zero decimal digit, but this was not done
if the non-zero digit lied outside the KMAX digits of the base
10^9 number representation.

so if the fractional part was a very long list of zeros (>2048*9 on
x86) followed by non-zero digits then the integer optimization could
kick in discarding the tiny non-zero fraction which can mean wrong
result on non-nearest rounding mode.

strtof, strtod and strtold were all affected.

in certain cases excessive trailing zeros could cause incorrect
rounding from long double to double or float in decfloat.

e.g. in strtof("9444733528689243848704.000000", 0) the argument
is 0x1.000001p+73, exactly halfway between two representible floats,
this incorrectly got rounded to 0x1.000002p+73 instead of 0x1p+73,
but with less trailing 0 the rounding was fine.

the fix makes sure that the z index always points one past the last
non-zero digit in the base 10^9 representation, this way trailing
zeros don't affect the rounding logic.

accessing an object of type const char *restrict as if it had type
char * is not defined.

in nearest rounding mode exact halfway cases were not following the
round to even rule if the rounding happened at a base 1000000000 digit
boundary of the internal representation and the previous digit was odd.

e.g. printf("%.0f", 1.5) printed 1 instead of 2.

the thread name is displayed by gdb's "info threads".

posix requires that EINVAL be returned if the first parameter specifies
the cpu-time clock of the calling thread (CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID).
linux returns ENOTSUP instead so we handle this.

j is int32_t and thus j<<31 is undefined if j==1, so j is changed to
uint32_t locally as a quick fix, the generated code is not affected.

(this is a strict conformance fix, future c standard may allow 1<<31,
see DR 463.  the bug was inherited from freebsd fdlibm, the proper fix
is to use uint32_t for all bit hacks, but that requires more intrusive
changes.)
