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.
Updated NEWS and INSTALL.
Adding dedicated x86_64 variant that enables the configuration.

This patch enables libmvec on AArch64. The proposed change is mainly
implementing build infrastructure to add the new routines to ABI,
tests and benchmarks. I have demonstrated how this all fits together
by adding implementations for vector cos, in both single and double
precision, targeting both Advanced SIMD and SVE.
The implementations of the routines themselves are just loops over the
scalar routine from libm for now, as we are more concerned with
getting the plumbing right at this point. We plan to contribute vector
routines from the Arm Optimized Routines repo that are compliant with
requirements described in the libmvec wiki.
Building libmvec requires minimum GCC 10 for SVE ACLE. To avoid raising
the minimum GCC by such a big jump, we allow users to disable libmvec
if their compiler is too old.
Note that at this point users have to manually call the vector math
functions. This seems to be acceptable to some downstream users.

And make always supported. The configure option was added on glibc 2.25
and some features require it (such as hwcap mask, huge pages support, and
lock elisition tuning). It also simplifies the build permutations.
Changes from v1:
* Remove glibc.rtld.dynamic_sort changes, it is orthogonal and needs
more discussion.
* Cleanup more code.

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).

Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie
automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it.
Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent
building programs as PIE.
Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default
because they do not work at the moment. hppa, ia64, alpha and csky
don't work because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation
generated from PIE objects. The microblaze compiler is currently
failing with an ICE. GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does
not work and hence fails. All these targets have default PIE disabled
at the moment and I have left it to the target maintainers to enable PIE
on their targets.
build-many-glibcs runs clean for all targets. I also tested x86_64 on
Fedora and Ubuntu, to verify that the default build as well as
--disable-default-pie work as expected with both system toolchains.

Commit 68ab82f56690ada86ac1e0c46bad06ba189a10ef added support for the scv
syscall ABI on powerpc. Since then systems that have kernel and processor
support started using scv. However adding the proper support for a new syscall
ABI requires changes to several other projects (e.g. qemu, valgrind, strace,
kernel), which are gradually receiving support.
Meanwhile, having a way to disable scv on glibc at build time can be useful for
distros that may encounter conflicts with projects that still do not support the
scv ABI, buying time until proper support is added.
This commit adds a --disable-scv option that disables scv support and uses sc
for all syscalls, like before commit 68ab82f56690ada86ac1e0c46bad06ba189a10ef.

Add compiler feature tests to ensure we can build ieee128 long double.
These test for -mabi=ieeelongdouble, -mno-gnu-attribute, and -Wno-psabi.
Likewise, verify some compiler bugs have been addressed. These aren't
helpful for building glibc, but may cause test failures when testing
the new long double. See notes below from Raji.
On powerpc64le, some older compiler versions give error for the function
signbit() for 128-bit floating point types. This is fixed by PR83862
in gcc 8.0 and backported to gcc6 and gcc7. This patch adds a test
to check compiler version to avoid compiler errors during make check.
Likewise, test for -mno-gnu-attribute support which was
On powerpc64le, a few files are built on IEEE long double mode
(-mabi=ieeelongdouble), whereas most are built on IBM long double mode
(-mabi=ibmlongdouble, the default for -mlong-double-128). Since binutils
2.31, linking object files with different long double modes causes
errors similar to:
ld: libc_pic.a(s_isinfl.os) uses IBM long double,
libc_pic.a(ieee128-qefgcvt.os) uses IEEE long double.
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../Makerules:649: libc_pic.os] Error 1
The warnings are fair and correct, but in order for glibc to have
support for both long double modes on powerpc64le, they have to be
ignored. This can be accomplished with the use of -mno-gnu-attribute
option when building the few files that require IEEE long double mode.
However, -mno-gnu-attribute is not available in GCC 6, the minimum
version required to build glibc, so this patch adds a test for this
feature in powerpc64le builds, and fails early if it's not available.

As discussed during development for glibc 2.29, when we increased the
required minimum GCC version for building glibc to GCC 5, working
purely based on the times at which such requirements have been
increased in the past it would be appropriate for glibc 2.30 to
require GCC 6 (matching GCC 4.9 having been required for glibc 2.26).
Naming 6.2 specifically as the minimum version then means a separate
version requirement no longer needs to be specified for powerpc64le.
Thus, this patch increases the minimum to 6.2, removing the
documentation of the separate requirement for powerpc64le. It does
not remove the powerpc64le configure test, or any __GNUC_PREREQ that
could be removed as not being in installed headers or files shared
with gnulib; I think such cleanups are best done separately.

We know that building glibc with GCC 4.9 is broken on various
platforms (bug 23993). As it's more than a year since we last
increased the minimum GCC version to build glibc, this patch changes
the requirement to be GCC 5 or later (indeed, based on 4.9 having been
required for building 2.26, it would be consistent in terms of timing
to require GCC 6 or later from the 2.30 release onwards). It
deliberately just updates the configure test and corresponding
documentation, leaving removal of no-longer-needed __GNUC_PREREQ tests
for a separate patch.
In the NEWS entry, the requirement for a newer GCC version for
powerpc64le is reiterated (as in the entry for the 4.9 requirement in
2.26) to avoid suggesting the version requirement there has gone down.
(If that version goes up further as part of support for binary128 long
double, of course the wording would change at that time.)

The install.texi documentation of uses of Perl and Python is
substantially out of date.
The description of Perl is "to test the installation" (which I
interpret as referring to test-installation.pl), but it's used for
more tests than that, and to build the manual, and to regenerate one
file in the source tree.
The description of Python is only for pretty-printer tests, but it's
used for other tests / benchmarks as well (and for other internal uses
such as updating Unicode data, for which we already require Python 3,
but I think install.texi only needs to describe uses from the main
glibc Makefiles).
This patch updates the descriptions of what those tools are used for.
The Python information (and information about other tools for testing
pretty printers) was awkwardly in the middle of the general
description of building and testing glibc, rather than with the rest
of information about tools used in glibc build and test; this patch
moves the information about those tools into the main list.
