use explicit dynamic-list rather than symbolic-functions for linking
we have always bound symbols at libc.so link time rather than runtime
to minimize startup-time relocations and overhead of calls through the
PLT, and possibly also to preclude interposition that would not work
correctly anyway if allowed. historically, binding at link-time was
also necessary for the dynamic linker to work, but the dynamic linker
bootstrap overhaul in commit f3ddd173806fd5c60b3f034528ca24542aecc5b9
made it unnecessary.
our use of -Bsymbolic-functions, rather than -Bsymbolic, was chosen
because the latter is incompatible with public global data; it makes
it incompatible with copy relocations in the main program. however,
not all global data needs to be public. by using --dynamic-list
instead with an explicit list, we can reduce the number of symbolic
relocations left for runtime.
this change will also allow us to permit interposition of specific
functions (e.g. the allocator) if/when we want to, by adding them to
the dynamic list.
the Linux SYS_nice syscall is unusable because it does not return the
newly set priority. always use SYS_setpriority. also avoid overflows
in addition of inc by handling large inc values directly without
examining the old nice value.
Implementation of __malloc0 in malloc.c takes care to preserve zero
pages by overwriting only non-zero data. However, malloc must have
already modified auxiliary heap data just before and beyond the
allocated region, so we know that edge pages need not be preserved.
For allocations smaller than one page, pass them immediately to memset.
Otherwise, use memset to handle partial pages at the head and tail of
the allocation, and scan complete pages in the interior. Optimize the
scanning loop by processing 16 bytes per iteration and handling rest of
page via memset as soon as a non-zero byte is found.
the catan implementation from OpenBSD includes a FIXME-annotated
"overflow" branch that produces a meaningless and incorrect
large-magnitude result. it was reachable via three paths,
corresponding to gotos removed by this commit, in order:
1. pure imaginary argument with imaginary component greater than 1 in
magnitude. this case does not seem at all exceptional and is
handled (at least with the quality currently expected from our
complex math functions) by the existing non-exceptional code path.
2. arguments on the unit circle, including the pure-real argument 1.0.
these are not exceptional except for ±i, which should produce
results with infinite imaginary component and which lead to
computation of atan2(±0,0) in the existing non-exceptional code
path. such calls to atan2() however are well-defined by POSIX.
3. the specific argument +i. this route should be unreachable due to
the above (2), but subtle rounding effects might have made it
possible in rare cases. continuing on the non-exceptional code path
in this case would lead to computing the (real) log of an infinite
argument, then producing a NAN when multiplying it by I.
for now, remove the exceptional code paths entirely. replace the
multiplication by I with construction of a complex number using the
CMPLX macro so that the NAN issue (3) prevented cannot arise.
with these changes, catan should give reasonably correct results for
real arguments, and should no longer give completely-wrong results for
pure-imaginary arguments outside the interval (-i,+i).
fix wrong result in casin and many related complex functions
the factor of -i noted in the comment at the top of casin.c was
omitted from the actual code, yielding a result rotated 90 degrees and
propagating into errors in other functions defined in terms of casin.
implement multiplication by -i as a rotation of the real and imaginary
parts of the result, rather than by actual multiplication, since the
latter cannot be optimized without knowledge that the operand is
finite. here, the rotation is the actual intent, anyway.

prevent bypass of guarantee that suids start with fd 0/1/2 open

either 1 or 2, this leaves fd 0 and 1 potentially closed but openable

it may be possible for poll to fail under other attacker-controlled

implement fallbacks to probe each fd individually if poll fails, but

the new version of the code used to generate these tables forces a
newline every 256 entries, whereas at the time these files were
originally generated and committed, it only wrapped them at 80
columns. the new behavior ensures that localized changes to the
tables, if they are ever needed, will produce localized diffs.

remove unused explicit dependency rules for crti/crtn
notes by maintainer:
commit 2f853dd6b9a95d5b13ee8f9df762125e0588df5d added these rules
because the new system for handling arch-provided replacement files
introduced for out-of-tree builds did not apply to the crt tree.
commit 63bcda4d8f4074e9d92ae156afd0dced6e64eb65 later adapted the
makefile logic so that the crt and ldso trees go through the same
replacement logic as everything else, but failed to remove the
explicit rules that assumed the arch would always provide asm
replacements.
in addition to cleaning things up, removing these spurious rules
allows crti/crtn asm to be omitted by an arch (thereby using the empty
C files instead) if they are not needed.

use the name UTC instead of GMT for UTC timezone
notes by maintainer:
both C and POSIX use the term UTC to specify related functionality,
despite POSIX defining it as something more like UT1 or historical
(pre-UTC) GMT without leap seconds. neither specifies the associated
string for %Z. old choice of "GMT" violated principle of least
surprise for users and some applications/tests. use "UTC" instead.

fix data race in at_quick_exit
aside from theoretical arbitrary results due to UB, this could
practically cause unbounded overflow of static array if hit, but
hitting it depends on having more than 32 calls to at_quick_exit and
having them sufficiently often.

implement strftime padding specifier extensions
notes added by maintainer:
the '-' specifier allows default padding to be suppressed, and '_'
allows padding with spaces instead of the default (zeros).
these extensions seem to be included in several other implementations
including FreeBSD and derivatives, and Solaris. while portable
software should not depend on them, time format strings are often
exposed to the user for configurable time display. reportedly some
python programs also use and depend on them.
