* 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.

the head pointer was not being reset between calls to synccall, so any
use of this interface more than once would build the linked list
incorrectly, keeping the (now invalid) list nodes from the previous
call.

clone will pass the return value of the start function to SYS_exit
anyway; there's no need to call the syscall directly.

the wide variant was missed in the previous commit.

invalid format strings invoke undefined behavior, so this is not a
conformance issue, but it's nicer for scanf to report the error safely
instead of calling free on a potentially-uninitialized pointer or a
pointer to memory belonging to the caller.

rather than allocating a PATH_MAX-sized buffer when the caller does
not provide an output buffer, work first with a PATH_MAX-sized temp
buffer with automatic storage, and either copy it to the caller's
buffer or strdup it on success. this not only avoids massive memory
waste, but also avoids pulling in free (and thus the full malloc
implementation) unnecessarily in static programs.

this avoids failure if the file is not readable and avoids odd
behavior for device nodes, etc. on old kernels that lack O_PATH, the
old behavior (O_RDONLY) will naturally happen as the fallback.

commit 07827d1a seems to have
introduced this issue. sigqueue is called from the synccall core, at
which time, even implementation-internal signals are blocked. however,
pthread_sigmask removes the implementation-internal signals from the
old mask before returning, so that a process which began life with
them blocked will not be able to save a signal mask that has them
blocked, possibly causing them to become re-blocked later. however,
this was causing sigqueue to unblock the implementation-internal
signals during synccall, leading to deadlock.

unlike the old C memcpy, this version handles word-at-a-time reads and
writes even for misaligned copies. it does not require that the cpu
support misaligned accesses; instead, it performs bit shifts to
realign the bytes for the destination.

essentially, this is the C version of the ARM assembly language
memcpy. the ideas are all the same, and it should perform well on any
arch with a decent number of general-purpose registers that has a
barrel shift operation. since the barrel shifter is an optional cpu
feature on microblaze, it may be desirable to provide an alternate asm
implementation on microblaze, but otherwise the C code provides a
competitive implementation for "generic risc-y" cpu archs that should
alleviate the urgent need for arch-specific memcpy asm.

there is no non-dot version of the andis instruction, but there's no
harm in updating the flags anyway, so just use the dot version.

this version of memset is optimized both for small and large values of
n, and makes no misaligned writes, so it is usable (and near-optimal)
on all archs. it is capable of filling up to 52 or 56 bytes without
entering a loop and with at most 7 branches, all of which can be fully
predicted if memset is called multiple times with the same size.

it also uses the attribute extension to inform the compiler that it is
violating the aliasing rules, unlike the previous code which simply
assumed it was safe to violate the aliasing rules since translation
unit boundaries hide the violations from the compiler. for non-GNUC
compilers, 100% portable fallback code in the form of a naive loop is
provided. I intend to eventually apply this approach to all of the
string/memory functions which are doing word-at-a-time accesses.

this is a nonstandard extension but will be required in the next
version of POSIX, and it's widely used/useful in shell scripts
utilizing the date utility.

%e pads with spaces instead of zeros.

in this case, the first standard-time and first daylight-time rules
should be taken as the "default" ones to expose.

if a zoneinfo file is not (or is no longer) in use, don't check the
abbrevs pointers, which may be invalid.

this may need further revision in the future, since POSIX is rather
unclear on the requirements, and is designed around the assumption of
POSIX TZ specifiers which are not sufficiently powerful to represent
real-world timezones (this is why zoneinfo support was added).

the basic issue is that strftime gets the string and numeric offset
for the timezone from the extra fields in struct tm, which are
initialized when calling localtime/gmtime/etc. however, a conforming
application might have created its own struct tm without initializing
these fields, in which case using __tm_zone (a pointer) could crash.
other zoneinfo-based implementations simply check for a null pointer,
but otherwise can still crash of the field contains junk.

simply ignoring __tm_zone and using tzname[] would "work" but would
give incorrect results in time zones with more complex rules. I feel
like this would lower the quality of implementation.

instead, simply validate __tm_zone: unless it points to one of the
zone name strings managed by the timezone system, assume it's invalid.

this commit also fixes several other minor bugs with formatting:
tm_isdst being negative is required to suppress printing of the zone
formats, and %z was using the wrong format specifiers since the type
of val was changed, resulting in bogus output.

this seems to match what other systems do, and seems useful for
programs that have their libraries and plugins stored relative to the
executable.

the empty TZ string was matching equal to the initial value of the
cached TZ name, thus causing do_tzset never to run and never to
initialize the time zone data.

off-by-one error copying the name components was yielding junk at the
beginning and truncating one character at the end (of every
component).

1. an occurrence of ${ORIGIN} before $ORIGIN would be ignored due to
the strstr logic. (note that rpath contains multiple :-delimited paths
to be searched.)

2. data read by readlink was not null-terminated.

fallback to argv[0] as before. unlike argv[0], AT_EXECFN was a valid
(but possibly relative) pathname for the new program image at the time
the execve syscall was made.

as a special case, ignore AT_EXECFN if it begins with "/proc/", in
order not to give bogus (and possibly harmful) results when fexecve
was used.

previously, rpath was only honored for direct dependencies. in other
words, if A depends on B and B depends on C, only B's rpath (if any),
not A's rpath, was being searched for C. this limitation made
rpath-based deployment difficult in the presence of multiple levels of
library dependency.

at present, $ORIGIN processing in rpath is still unsupported.

this bug was masked by local experimental CFLAGS in my config.mak.

at present, since POSIX requires %F to behave as %+4Y-%m-%d and ISO C
requires %F to behave as %Y-%m-%d, the default behavior for %Y has
been changed to match %+4Y. this seems to be the only way to conform
to the requirements of both standards, and it does not affect years
prior to the year 10000. depending on the outcome of interpretations
from the standards bodies, this may be adjusted at some point.

use a long long value so that even with offsets, values cannot
overflow. instead of using different format strings for different
numeric formats, simply use a per-format width and %0*lld for all of
them.

this width specifier is not for use with strftime field widths; that
will be a separate step in the caller.

make __strftime_fmt_1 return a string (possibly in the caller-provided
temp buffer) rather than writing into the output buffer. this approach
makes more sense when padding to a minimum field width might be
required, and it's also closer to what wcsftime wants.

patch by Strake. this seems to be a regression caused by fixing the
behavior of perror("") to match perror(0) at some point in the past.

fesetround.c is a wrapper to do the arch independent argument
check (on archs where rounding mode is not stored in 2 bits
__fesetround still has to check its arguments)

on powerpc fe*except functions do not accept the extra invalid
flags of its fpscr register

the useless FENV_ACCESS pragma was removed from feupdateenv

the x87 exception summary (ES) and stack fault (SF) flags may be
spuriously cleared by feclearexcept using the fnclex instruction,
but these flags are not observable through libc hence maintaining
their state is not critical.
