a robust mutex should not enter the unrecoverable status until it's unlocked without marking it consistent. previously, flag 8 in the type was used as an indication of unrecoverable, but only honored after successful locking; this resulted in a race window where the unrecoverable mutex could appear to a second thread as locked/busy again while the first thread was in the process of observing it as unrecoverable. now, flag 8 is used to mean that the mutex is in the process of being recovered, but not yet marked consistent. the flag only takes effect in pthread_mutex_unlock, where it causes the value 0x40000000 (owner dead flag, with old owner tid 0, an otherwise impossible state) to be stored in the lock. subsequent lock attempts will interpret this state as unrecoverable.

per the resolution of Austin Group issue 755, the POSIX requirement that ownership be enforced for recursive and error-checking mutexes does not allow a random new thread to acquire ownership of an orphaned mutex just because it happened to be assigned the same tid as the original owner that exited with the mutex locked. one possible fix for this issue would be to disallow the kernel thread to terminate when it exited with mutexes held, permanently reserving the tid against reuse. however, this does not solve the problem for process-shared mutexes where lifetime cannot be controlled, so it was not used. the alternate approach I've taken is to reuse the robust mutex system for non-robust recursive and error-checking mutexes. when a thread exits, the kernel (or the new userspace robust-list code added in commit b092f1c5) will set the owner-died bit for these orphaned mutexes, but since the mutex-type is not robust, pthread_mutex_trylock will not allow a new owner to acquire them. instead, they remain in a state of being permanently locked, as desired.

the whole point of this locking is to prevent munmap, or mmap with MAP_FIXED, from deallocating virtual addresses, or changing the backing a given virtual address refers to, during certain race windows involving self-synchronized unmapping or destruction of pthread synchronization objects. there is no need for exclusion in the other direction, so it suffices to take the lock momentarily and release it before making the syscall, rather than holding it across the syscall.

the kernel always uses non-private wake when walking the robust list when a thread or process exits, so it's not able to wake waiters listening with the private futex flag. this problem is solved by doing the equivalent in userspace as the last step of pthread_exit. care is taken to remove mutexes from the robust list before unlocking them so that the kernel will not attempt to access them again, possibly after another thread locks them. this removal code can treat the list as singly-linked, since no further code which would add or remove items is able to run at this point. moreover, the pending pointer is not needed since the mutexes being unlocked are all process-local; in the case of asynchronous process termination, they all cease to exist. since a process-local robust mutex cannot come into existence without a call to pthread_mutexattr_setrobust in the same process, the code for userspace robust list processing is put in that source file, and a weak alias to a dummy function is used to avoid pulling in this bloat as part of pthread_exit in static-linked programs.

private-futex uses the virtual address of the futex int directly as the hash key rather than requiring the kernel to resolve the address to an underlying backing for the mapping in which it lies. for certain usage patterns it improves performance significantly. in many places, the code using futex __wake and __wait operations was already passing a correct fixed zero or nonzero flag for the priv argument, so no change was needed at the site of the call, only in the __wake and __wait functions themselves. in other places, especially where the process-shared attribute for a synchronization object was not previously tracked, additional new code is needed. for mutexes, the only place to store the flag is in the type field, so additional bit masking logic is needed for accessing the type. for non-process-shared condition variable broadcasts, the futex requeue operation is unable to requeue from a private futex to a process-shared one in the mutex structure, so requeue is simply disabled in this case by waking all waiters. for robust mutexes, the kernel always performs a non-private wake when the owner dies. in order not to introduce a behavioral regression in non-process-shared robust mutexes (when the owning thread dies), they are simply forced to be treated as process-shared for now, giving correct behavior at the expense of performance. this can be fixed by adding explicit code to pthread_exit to do the right thing for non-shared robust mutexes in userspace rather than relying on the kernel to do it, and will be fixed in this way later. since not all supported kernels have private futex support, the new code detects EINVAL from the futex syscall and falls back to making the call without the private flag. no attempt to cache the result is made; caching it and using the cached value efficiently is somewhat difficult, and not worth the complexity when the benefits would be seen only on ancient kernels which have numerous other limitations and bugs anyway.

the code which loads locale files was already rejecting locale names containing slashes. however, LC_MESSAGES records a locale name even if libc does not have a matching locale file, so that gettext or application code can use the recorded locale name for message translations to languages that libc does not support. this recorded name was not being checked for slashes, meaning that such code could potentially be tricked into directory traversal. in addition, since the value of a locale category is sometimes used as a pathname component by callers, the improved code rejects any value beginning with a dot. this prevents traversal to the parent directory via "..", use of the top-level locale directory via ".", and also avoids "hidden" directories as a side effect. finally, overly long locale names are now rejected (treated as an unrecognized name and thus as an alias for C.UTF-8) rather than being truncated.

the previous implementations had several deficiencies, the most severe of which was the inability to report unconfigured interfaces or interfaces without ipv4 addresses. among the options discussed for fixing this, using netlink turned out to be the one with the least cost and most additional advantages. other improvements include: if_nameindex now avoids duplicates in the list it produces, but still includes legacy-style interface aliases if any are in use. getifaddrs now reports hardware addresses and includes the scope_id for link-local ipv6 addresses in the resulting address.

this commit changes the names to match the kernel names, exposing under the normal names the "old" versions which work with a smaller termios structure compatible with the userspace structure, and renaming the "new" versions with "2" on the end like the kernel has. this fixes spurious warnings "Unsupported ioctl: cmd=0x802c542a" from qemu-sh4 and should be more correct anyway, since our userspace termios structure does not have meaningful information in the part which the kernel would be interpreting as speeds with the new ioctl.

while the __mo_lookup backend can verify that the translated message ends with a null terminator, is has no way to know nplurals and thus no way to verify that sufficiently many null terminators are present in the string to satisfy all plural forms. the code in dcngettext was already attempting to avoid reading past the end of the mo file mapping, but failed to do so because the strlen call itself could over-read. using strnlen instead allows us to avoid the problem.

rather than just checking that the start of the string lies within the mapping, also check that the nominal length remains within the mapping, and that the null terminator is present at the nominal length. this ensures that the caller, using the result as a C string, will not read past the end of the mapping. the nominal length is never exposed to the caller, but it's useful internally to find where the null terminator should be without having to restort to linear search via strnlen/memchr.

the a_cas_l, a_swap_l, a_swap_p, and a_store_l operations were probably used a long time ago when only i386 and x86_64 were supported. as other archs were added, support for them was inconsistent, and they are obviously not in use at present. having them around potentially confuses readers working on new ports, and the type-punning hacks and inconsistent use of types in their definitions is not a style I wish to perpetuate in the source tree, so removing them seems appropriate.

while other usage I've seen only has the synco instruction after the atomic operation, I cannot find any documentation indicating that this is correct. certainly all stores before the atomic need to have been synchronized before the atomic operation takes place.

this commit replaces the stub implementations with working message translation functions. translation units are factored so as to prevent pulling in the legacy, non-library-safe functions which use a global textdomain in modern code which is using the versions with an explicit domain argument. bind_textdomain_codeset is also placed in its own file since it should not be needed by most programs. this implementation is still missing some features: the LANGUAGE environment variable (for multiple fallback languages) is not honored, and non-default plural-form rules are not supported. these issues will be addressed in a later commit. one notable difference from the GNU implementation is that there is no default path for loading translation files. in principle one could be added, but since the documented correct usage is to call the bindtextdomain function, a default path is probably unnecessary.

for LC_MESSAGES, translation of strerror and similar literal message functions is supported. for messages in other places (particularly the dynamic linker) that use format strings, translation is not yet supported. in order to make it possible and safe, such messages will need to be refactored to separate the textual content from the format. for LC_TIME, the day and month names and strftime-style format strings provided by nl_langinfo are supported for translation. however there may be limitations, as some of the original C-locale nl_langinfo strings are non-unique and thus perhaps non-suitable as keys. overall, the locale support activated by this commit should not be seen as complete and polished but as a basis for beginning to test locale functionality and implement locales.

the core is based on a binary search; hash table is not used. both native and reverse-endian mo files are supported. all offsets read from the mapped mo file are checked against the mapping size to prevent the possibility of reads outside the mapping. this commit has no observable effects since there are not yet any callers to the message translation code.

there is still no code which actually uses the loaded locale files, so the main observable effect of this commit is that calls to setlocale store and give back the names of the selected locales for the remaining categories (LC_TIME, LC_COLLATE, LC_MONETARY) if a locale file by the requested name could be loaded.
