And reformat it to GNU style.
dn_comp is used in various programs, so keep it as a non-deprecated
symbol. Switch to dn_comp (not __dn_comp) for the ABI name. There
are no internal users, so interposition is not a problem.
The __dn_comp symbol was moved with scripts/move-symbol-to-libc.py
--no-new-version. dn_comp@@GLIBC_2.34 was added with
make update-all-abi.

And reformat to GNU style.
This switches back to the dn_expand name for the ABI symbol and turns
__dn_expand into a compatibility symbol. With the improved namespace
management in current glibc, it is no longer necessary to use a
private namespace symbol. To avoid old code binding to a
GLIBC_PRIVATE symbol by accident, use __libc_dn_expand for the
internal symbol name.
The symbols dn_expand, __dnexpand were moved using
scripts/move-symbol-to-libc.py, followed by an adjustment to make
dn_expand the only GLIBC_2.34 symbol.

Debugging interfaces: p_*, fp_*, and sym_* could conceivably be
used to produce debug out, but these functions have not been
updated to parse more resource records, so they are not very useful
today. Likewise for ns_sprintrr and ns_sprintrrf. ns_format_ttl and
ns_parse_ttl are related to these.
Internal implementation details: res_isourserver is probably only
useful in the implementation of a stub resolver, and so is
res_nameinquery.
Unclear semantics and bad performance: ns_samedomain, ns_subdomain,
ns_makecanon, ns_samename do textual converions & copies instead of
checking equivalence of the wire format.
inet_neta cannot handle IPv6 addresses.
res_hostalias has been superseded by getaddrinfo with AI_CANONNAME.
hostalias is not thread-safe.
Some functions have int as size arguments instead of size_t, so they
do not follow current coding practices. However, dn_expand and
b64_ntop are somewhat widely used (to name just two examples), so
deprecating them seems problematic.

There is a 1 in 16 chance of a corruption escaping safe-linking and to
guard against spurious failures, tst-safe-linking runs each subtest 10
times to ensure that the chance is reduced to 1 in 2^40. However, in
the 1 in 16 chance that a corruption does escape safe linking, it
could well be caught by other sanity checks we do in malloc, which
then results in spurious test failures like below:
test test_fastbin_consolidate failed with a different error
expected: malloc_consolidate(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected
actual: malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size
This failure is seen more frequently on i686; I was able to reproduce
it in about 5 min of running it in a loop.
Guard against such failures by recording them and retrying the test.
Also, do not fail the test if we happened to get defeated by the 1 in
2^40 odds if in at least one of the instances it was detected by other
checks.
Finally, bolster the odds to 2^64 by running 16 times instead of 10.
The test still has a chance of failure so it is still flaky in theory.
However in practice if we see a failure here then it's more likely
that there's a bug than it being an issue with the test. Add more
printfs and also dump them to stdout so that in the event the test
actually fails, we will have some data to try and understand why it
may have failed.

This is updated version of the 572bd547d57a (reverted by 40ebfd016ad2)
that fixes the _dl_next_tls_modid issues.
This issue with 572bd547d57a patch is the DTV entry will be only
update on dl_open_worker() with the update_tls_slotinfo() call after
all dependencies are being processed by _dl_map_object_deps(). However
_dl_map_object_deps() itself might call _dl_next_tls_modid(), and since
the _dl_tls_dtv_slotinfo_list::map is not yet set the entry will be
wrongly reused.
This patch fixes by renaming the _dl_next_tls_modid() function to
_dl_assign_tls_modid() and by passing the link_map so it can set
the slotinfo value so a subsequente _dl_next_tls_modid() call will
see the entry as allocated.
The intermediary value is cleared up on remove_slotinfo() for the case
a library fails to load with RTLD_NOW.
This patch fixes BZ #27135.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

The clone3 system call (since Linux 5.3) provides a superset of the
functionality of clone and clone2. It also provides a number of API
improvements, including the ability to specify the size of the child's
stack area which can be used by kernel to compute the shadow stack size
when allocating the shadow stack. Add:
extern int __clone_internal (struct clone_args *__cl_args,
int (*__func) (void *__arg), void *__arg);
to provide an abstract interface for clone, clone2 and clone3.
1. Simplify stack management for thread creation by passing both stack
base and size to create_thread.
2. Consolidate clone vs clone2 differences into a single file.
3. Call __clone3 if HAVE_CLONE3_WAPPER is defined. If __clone3 returns
-1 with ENOSYS, fall back to clone or clone2.
4. Use only __clone_internal to clone a thread. Since the stack size
argument for create_thread is now unconditional, always pass stack size
to create_thread.
5. Enable the public clone3 wrapper in the future after it has been
added to all targets.
NB: Sandbox will return ENOSYS on clone3 in both Chromium:

Linux sandbox: return ENOSYS for clone3
Because clone3 uses a pointer argument rather than a flags argument, we
cannot examine the contents with seccomp, which is essential to
preventing sandboxed processes from starting other processes. So, we
won't be able to support clone3 in Chromium. This CL modifies the
BPF policy to return ENOSYS for clone3 so glibc always uses the fallback
to clone.

The previous approach defeats the vDSO optimization on older kernels
because a failing clock_gettime64 system call is performed on every
function call. It also results in a clobbered errno value, exposing
an OpenJDK bug (JDK-8270244).
This patch fixes by open-code INLINE_VSYSCALL macro and replace all
INLINE_SYSCALL_CALL with INTERNAL_SYSCALL_CALLS. Now for
__clock_gettime64x, the 64-bit vDSO is used and the 32-bit vDSO is
tried before falling back to 64-bit syscalls.
The previous code preferred 64-bit syscall for the case where the kernel
provides 64-bit time_t syscalls *and* also a 32-bit vDSO (in this case
the *64-bit* syscall should be preferable over the vDSO). All
architectures that provides 32-bit vDSO (i386, mips, powerpc, s390)
modulo sparc; but I am not sure if some kernels versions do provide
only 32-bit vDSO while still providing 64-bit time_t syscall.
Regardless, for such cases the 64-bit time_t syscall is used if the
vDSO returns overflowed 32-bit time_t.
Tested on i686-linux-gnu (with a time64 and non-time64 kernel),
x86_64-linux-gnu. Built with build-many-glibcs.py.

<limits.h> used to be a header file with no declarations.
GCC's libgomp includes it in a #pragma GCC visibility hidden block.
Including <unistd.h> from <limits.h> (indirectly) declares everything
in <unistd.h> with hidden visibility, resulting in linker failures.
This commit avoids C declarations in assembler mode and only declares
__sysconf in <limits.h> (and not the entire contents of <unistd.h>).
The __sysconf symbol is already part of the ABI. PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
is no longer defined for __USE_DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE && __ASSEMBLER__
because there is no possible definition.
Additionally, PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is now defined by <pthread.h> for
__USE_MISC because this is what developers expect based on the macro
name. It also helps to avoid libgomp linker failures in GCC because
libgomp includes <pthread.h> before its visibility hacks.

Sometimes the test nss/tst-nss-files-hosts-long is failing as getent
fails with exit-code 2.
This happens if tst-reload1 was run just before this test:
make t=nss/tst-reload1 test
make t=nss/tst-nss-files-hosts-long test
Then the test fails as /etc/nsswitch.conf contains "hosts: test2"
and the hosts are not searched in /etc/hosts at all.
Thus this patch just requests a post cleanup after nss/tst-reload1
has run.

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21782 dropped an ld
diagnostic for R_X86_64_PC32 referencing an undefined weak symbol in
-pie links. Arguably keeping the diagnostic like other ports is more
correct, since statically resolving movl foo(%rip), %eax to the
link-time zero address produces a corrupted output.
It turns out that --enable-static-pie builds do not depend on the ld
behavior. GCC generates GOT indirection for weak declarations for
-fPIE/-fPIC, so what ld does with the PC-relative relocation doesn't
really matter.

This patch adds a way to close a range of file descriptors on
posix_spawn as a new file action. The API is similar to the one
provided by Solaris 11 [1], where the file action causes the all open
file descriptors greater than or equal to input on to be closed when
the new process is spawned.
The function posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np is safe to be
implemented by iterating over /proc/self/fd, since the Linux spawni.c
helper process does not use CLONE_FILES, so its has own file descriptor
table and any failure (in /proc operation) aborts the process creation
and returns an error to the caller.
I am aware that this file action might be redundant to the current
approach of POSIX in promoting O_CLOEXEC in more interfaces. However
O_CLOEXEC is still not the default and for some specific usages, the
caller needs to close all possible file descriptors to avoid them
leaking. Some examples are CPython (discussed in BZ#10353) and OpenJDK
jspawnhelper [2] (where OpenJDK spawns a helper process to exactly
closes all file descriptors). Most likely any environment which calls
functions that might open file descriptor under the hood and aim to use
posix_spawn might face the same requirement.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu on kernel 5.11 and 4.15.

The function closes all open file descriptors greater than or equal to
input argument. Negative values are clamped to 0, i.e, it will close
all file descriptors.
As indicated by the bug report, this is a common symbol provided by
different systems (Solaris, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD) and, although
its has inherent issues with not taking in consideration internal libc
file descriptors (such as syslog), this is also a common feature used
in multiple projects [1][2][3][4][5].
The Linux fallback implementation iterates over /proc and close all
file descriptors sequentially. Although it was raised the questioning
whether getdents on /proc/self/fd might return disjointed entries
when file descriptor are closed; it does not seems the case on my
testing on multiple kernel (v4.18, v5.4, v5.9) and the same strategy
is used on different projects [1][2][3][5].
Also, the interface is set a fail-safe meaning that a failure in the
fallback results in a process abort.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu on kernel 5.11 and 4.15.
