Even though building glibc with 64 bit time_t flags is not supported,
and the usual way is to patch the build system to avoid it; some
systems do enable it by default, and it increases the requirements
to build glibc in such cases (it also does not help newcomers when
trying to build glibc).
The conform namespace and linknamespace tests also do not expect
that flag to be set by default, so disable it as well.
Checked with a build/check for major ABI and some (i386, arm,
mipsel, hppa) with a toolchain that has LFS flags by default.

The -Wp does not work properly if the compiler is configured to enable
fortify by default, since it bypasses the compiler driver (which defines
the fortify flags in this case).
This patch is similar to the one used on Ubuntu [1].
I checked with a build for x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu,
aarch64-linux-gnu, s390x-linux-gnu, and riscv64-linux-gnu with
gcc-13 that enables the fortify by default.

The purpose of this patch is to add some system calls that (1) aren't
otherwise documented, and (2) are merely redirected to the kernel, so
can refer to their documentation; and define a standard way of doing
so in the future. A more detailed explaination of how system calls
are wrapped is added along with reference to the Linux Man-Pages
project.
Default version of man-pages is in configure.ac but can be overridden
by --with-man-pages=X.Y

By default, if the C++ toolchain lacks support for static linking,
configure fails to find the C++ header files and the glibc build fails.
The --disable-static-c++-link-check option allows the glibc build to
finish, but static C++ tests will fail if the C++ toolchain doesn't
have the necessary static C++ libraries which may not be easily installed.
Add --disable-static-c++-tests option to skip the static C++ link check
and tests. This fixes BZ #31797.

The current minimum GCC version of glibc build is GCC 6.2 or newer. But
building i686 glibc with GCC 6.4 on Fedora 40 failed since the C++ header
files couldn't be found which was caused by the static C++ link check
failure due to missing __divmoddi4 which was referenced in i686 libc.a
and added to GCC 7. Add --disable-static-c++-link-check configure option
to disable the static C++ link test. The newly built i686 libc.a can be
used by GCC 6.4 to create static C++ tests. This fixes BZ #31412.

Add --enable-fortify-source option.
It is now possible to enable fortification through a configure option.
The level may be given as parameter, if none is provided, the configure
script will determine what is the highest level possible that can be set
considering GCC built-ins availability and set it.
If level is explicitly set to 3, configure checks if the compiler
supports the built-in function necessary for it or raise an error if it
isn't.
If the configure option isn't explicitly enabled, it _FORTIFY_SOURCE is
forcibly undefined (and therefore disabled).
The result of the configure checks are new variables, ${fortify_source}
and ${no_fortify_source} that can be used to appropriately populate
CFLAGS.
A dedicated patch will follow to make use of this variable in Makefiles
when necessary.

Commit 87d583c6e8cd0e49f64da76636ebeec033298b4d replaces the sed script
with an "objdump -f" invocation to determine the 'OUTPUT_FORMAT' bit of
the libc.so linker script.
However, when cross-compiling, for example from x86_64-linux-gnu to
aarch64-linux-gnu, "objdump -f" would report the wrong
format ("elf64-little"). Conversely, "aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump -f"
reports "elf64-littleaarch64" as expected.
This patch changes 'configure.ac' to use AC_CHECK_TOOL rather than
'$CC -print-prog-name=objdump' to determine the value of the OBJDUMP
variable. That way, OBJDUMP is set to TRIPLET-objdump when
cross-compiling for TRIPLET.

This reverts commit 6f85dbf102ad7982409ba0fe96886caeb6389fef.
Once this change hits the release branches, it will require relinking
of all statically linked applications before static dlopen works
again, for the majority of updates on release branches: The NEWS file
is regularly updated with bug references, so the __libc_early_init
suffix changes, and static dlopen cannot find the function anymore.
While this ABI check is still technically correct (we do require
rebuilding & relinking after glibc updates to keep static dlopen
working), it is too drastic for stable release branches.

The files NEWS, include/link.h, and sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h
contribute to the version fingerprint used for detection. The
fingerprint can be further refined using the --with-extra-version-id
configure argument.
_dl_call_libc_early_init is replaced with _dl_lookup_libc_early_init.
The new function is used store a pointer to libc.so's
__libc_early_init function in the libc_map_early_init member of the
ld.so namespace structure. This function pointer can then be called
directly, so the separate invocation function is no longer needed.
The versioned symbol lookup needs the symbol versioning data
structures, so the initialization of libc_map and libc_map_early_init
is now done from _dl_check_map_versions, after this information
becomes available. (_dl_map_object_from_fd does not set this up
in time, so the initialization code had to be moved from there.)
This means that the separate initialization code can be removed from
dl_main because _dl_check_map_versions covers all maps, including
the initial executable loaded by the kernel. The lookup still happens
before relocation and the invocation of IFUNC resolvers, so IFUNC
resolvers are protected from ABI mismatch.
The __libc_early_init function pointer is not protected because
so little code runs between the pointer write and the invocation
(only dynamic linker code and IFUNC resolvers).

PIE and shared objects usually have many relative relocations. In
2017/2018, SHT_RELR/DT_RELR was proposed on
https://groups.google.com/g/generic-abi/c/bX460iggiKg/m/GxjM0L-PBAAJ
("Proposal for a new section type SHT_RELR") and is a pre-standard. RELR
usually takes 3% or smaller space than R_*_RELATIVE relocations. The
virtual memory size of a mostly statically linked PIE is typically 5~10%
smaller.

Notes I will not include in the submitted commit:
Available on https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/maskray/relr
"pre-standard": even Solaris folks are happy with the refined generic-abi
proposal. Cary Coutant will apply the change
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-October/131781.html
This patch is simpler than Chrome OS's glibc patch and makes ELF_DYNAMIC_DO_RELR
available to all ports. I don't think the current glibc implementation
supports ia64 in an ELFCLASS32 container. That said, the style I used is
works with an ELFCLASS32 container for 64-bit machine if ElfW(Addr) is
64-bit.
* Chrome OS folks have carried a local patch since 2018 (latest version:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/chromiumos-overlay/+/refs/heads/main/sys-libs/glibc/files/local/glibc-2.32).
I.e. this feature has been battle tested.
* Android bionic supports 2018 and switched to DT_RELR==36 in 2020.
* The Linux kernel has supported CONFIG_RELR since 2019-08
(https://git.kernel.org/linus/5cf896fb6be3effd9aea455b22213e27be8bdb1d).
* A musl patch (by me) exists but is not applied:
https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2019/03/06/3
* rtld-elf from FreeBSD 14 will support DT_RELR.
I believe upstream glibc should support DT_RELR to benefit all Linux
distributions. I filed some feature requests to get their attention:
* Gentoo: https://bugs.gentoo.org/818376
* Arch Linux: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72433
* Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=996598
* Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2014699
As of linker support (to the best of my knowledge):
* LLD support DT_RELR.
* https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/chromiumos-overlay/+/refs/heads/main/sys-devel/binutils/files/
has a gold patch.
* GNU ld feature request https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27923
Changes from the original patch:
1. Check the linker option, -z pack-relative-relocs, which add a
GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR symbol version dependency on the shared C library if
it provides a GLIBC_2.XX symbol version.
2. Change make variale to have-dt-relr.
3. Rename tst-relr-no-pie to tst-relr-pie for --disable-default-pie.
4. Use TEST_VERIFY in tst-relr.c.
5. Add the check-tst-relr-pie.out test to check for linker generated
libc.so version dependency on GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR.
6. Move ELF_DYNAMIC_DO_RELR before ELF_DYNAMIC_DO_REL.

This is necessary to place the libio vtables into the RELRO segment.
New tests elf/tst-relro-ldso and elf/tst-relro-libc are added to

The new tests fail on ia64 due to lack of (default) RELRO support
inbutils, so they are XFAILed there.
