posix/wordexp-test.c used libc-internal.h for PTR_ALIGN_DOWN; similar
to what was done with libc-diag.h, I have split the definitions of
cast_to_integer, ALIGN_UP, ALIGN_DOWN, PTR_ALIGN_UP, and PTR_ALIGN_DOWN
to a new header, libc-pointer-arith.h.
It then occurred to me that the remaining declarations in libc-internal.h
are mostly to do with early initialization, and probably most of the
files including it, even in the core code, don't need it anymore. Indeed,
only 19 files actually need what remains of libc-internal.h. 23 others
need libc-diag.h instead, and 12 need libc-pointer-arith.h instead.
No file needs more than one of them, and 16 don't need any of them!
So, with this patch, libc-internal.h stops including libc-diag.h as
well as losing the pointer arithmetic macros, and all including files
are adjusted.
* include/libc-pointer-arith.h: New file. Define
cast_to_integer, ALIGN_UP, ALIGN_DOWN, PTR_ALIGN_UP, and
PTR_ALIGN_DOWN here.

moved from here. Don't include libc-diag.h anymore either.

This change also removes the preprocessor-based function renaming.
It also applied to tests in resolv/, which ended up running against
the historic functions.
_endhtent was not part of the ABI because it is not listed in the
resolv/Versions file.
The changes to fix bug 20729 introduced an error which removed an
ignore diagnostic from -O2 by using the new -Os related macro.
This broke ppc64 builds. This commit fixes the mistake.
Tested on x86, x86_64, ppc64, ppc64le, arm, aarch64, and s390x.
This commit adds a new DIAG_IGNORE_Os_NEEDS_COMMENT which is only
enabled when compiling with -Os. This allows developers working on
-Os enabled builds to mark false-positive warnings without impacting the
warnings emitted at -O2.
Then using the new DIAG_IGNORE_Os_NEEDS_COMMENT we fix 6 warnings
generated with GCC 5 to get -Os builds working again.
In ns_name_ntop, the NS_CMPRSFLGS check is no longer needed because
labellen (called earlier) already rejects everything which is not
a plain label (compression references and extended label types).
Many headers are expected to expose a subset of the type definitions
in time.h. time.h has a whole bunch of messy logic for conditionally
defining some its types and structs, but, as best I can tell, this
has never worked 100%. In particular, __need_timespec is ineffective
if _TIME_H has already been defined, which means that if you compile
#include <time.h>
#include <sched.h>
with e.g. -fsyntax-only -std=c89 -Wall -Wsystem-headers, you will get
In file included from test.c:2:0:
/usr/include/sched.h:74:57: warning: "struct timespec" declared inside
parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
extern int sched_rr_get_interval (__pid_t __pid, struct timespec *__t) __THROW;
^~~~~~~~
And if you want to _use_ sched_rr_get_interval in a TU compiled that
way, you're hosed.
This patch replaces all of that with small bits/types/TYPE.h headers
as introduced earlier. time.h and bits/time.h are now *much* simpler,
and a lot of other headers are slightly simpler.

New wrapper headers.
The types u_char, u_short, u_int, u_long, ushort, uint, ulong, u_int8_t,
u_int16_t, u_int32_t, u_int64_t, quad_t, and u_quad_t are BSDisms that
have never been standardized. While glibc should continue to *provide*
these types for compatibility's sake, its public headers should not
use them.
The meat of this change was mechanically generated by the following
shell command:
perl -pi~ -e '
s/\b(__)?u_char\b/unsigned char/g;
s/\b(__)?u_?short\b/unsigned short/g;
s/\b(__)?u_?int\b/unsigned int/g;
s/\b(__)?u_?long\b/unsigned long/g;
s/\b(__)?u_int8_t\b/uint8_t/g;
s/\b(__)?u_int16_t\b/uint16_t/g;
s/\b(__)?u_int32_t\b/uint32_t/g;
s/\b(__)?u_int64_t\b/uint64_t/g;
s/\b(__)?u_quad_t\b/uint64_t/g;
s/\b(__)?quad_t\b/uint64_t/g;
' $(grep -lE -e '\<((__)?(quad_t|u(short|int|long|_(char|short|int([0-9]+_t)?|long|quad_t))))\>' \
$(grep -LE '\<(_(SYS|BITS)_TYPES_H|rpc/(rpc|rpc_msg|types|xdr)\.h)\>' \
$(find . \( -false $(sed 's/^/-o -name /' all-installed-headers) \
\) -printf '%P\n' | sort -u)))
where 'all-installed-headers' was a list of the basenames of all installed
header files, manually extracted from the Makefiles. Non-installed
wrapper headers in include/ are also adjusted, for consistency.
I then manually fixed up indentation and line-wrapping.
sys/types.h and bits/types.h are excluded because they must continue
to define the u_* types (under __USE_MISC) for compatibility with
applications. They do not use these types themselves.
All headers that (transitively) include rpc/types.h are also excluded,
for three reasons. First, the u_* types are defined by rpc/types.h,
unconditionally (not just under __USE_MISC) so they are logically part
of the SunRPC API. Second, many of those headers appear to be
machine-generated. Third, it's my understanding that we are getting
rid of as much of SunRPC as possible in the near future.
(The one file under sunrpc/ that's touched, sunrpc/rpc/rpc_des.h, does
*not* include rpc/types.h. This may itself be a bug.)
After changing from u_intNN_t to uintNN_t, a number of headers now
need to include stdint.h to pick up those types. It might be more
hygenic, namespace-wise, to use __uintNN_t instead, but none of these
headers are bound by ISO or POSIX to do so, and it's unlikely that
anyone using them will be bothered. (The two files that were using
__-prefixed versions of the u_types, sysdeps/mach/hurd/net/route.h and
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/net/route.h, both already also contained uses of
the unprefixed versions.)
Some of these files directly included features.h and/or sys/cdefs.h,
which I removed, as the style generally seems to be to let sys/types.h
do that for us. (This does not change the set of definitions exposed
by any header; sys/types.h unconditionally includes both features.h
and sys/cdefs.h.)
One file included asm/types.h unnecessarily.

_LIBC, __USE_XOPEN2K8, and __STDC_VERSION__ are not always defined.
It seems to me that _LIBC should not appear in installed headers, but
avoiding that for argp specifically would require more surgery than
feels appropriate for this patch set. It's possible that
"#ifdef _LIBC" would be sufficient, but I wanted to be conservative.
All three versions of bits/socket.h want to know whether __flexarr
will produce a real flexible array member -- specifically, one that
doesn't alter sizeof(the structure containing it). They were testing
for this with a complicated #if condition that did not agree with
sys/cdefs.h and that tripped -Wundef warnings under -std=c90.
I added a new macro to sys/cdefs.h, __glibc_c99_flexarr_available,
which reveals exactly what these headers want to know. I also took
the opportunity to flatten the rather messy conditional nest defining
__flexarr.
* argp/argp.h: Check whether _LIBC is defined before expanding it.
* posix/glob.h: Check whether __USE_XOPEN2K8 is defined instead
of expanding it.
* misc/sys/cdefs.h: Tidy up conditional nest defining __flexarr.
Define __glibc_c99_flexarr_available to 1 when the compiler
supports C99-compatible flexible array members, 0 otherwise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/socket.h
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/bits/socket.h
* bits/socket.h: Use __glibc_c99_flexarr_available in
definitions of struct cmsghdr and CMSG_DATA.
The macros are no longer up-to-date, and the classification is not
useful. In this particular case, removal without prior deprecation
seems the right approach.
_res_hconf.initialized was not suitable for use in a multi-threaded
environment due to the lack of atomics and memory barriers. Use of it was
also unnecessary because _res_hconf_init did the right thing by using
__libc_once. This patch fixes the glibc-internal uses by just calling
_res_hconf_init unconditionally, and switches to a release MO atomic store
for _res_hconf.initialized to fix the glibc side of the synchronization
problem (which will maintain backward compatibility, but cannot fix the
lack of acquire MO on any glibc-external loads).
[BZ #20477]
* resolv/res_hconf.c (do_init): Use atomic access.
* resolv/res_hconf.h: Add comments.
* nscd/aicache.c (addhstaiX): Call _res_hconf_init unconditionally.
* nss/getXXbyYY_r.c (REENTRANT_NAME): Likewise.
* sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c (gaih_inet): Likewise.
Previously, we allocated room in the result space before the check,
leaving uninitialized data there in case the check failed.
This also consolidates the behavior between single (A or AAAA) and
dual (A and AAAA in parallel) queries. Single queries checked
the record length against the QTYPE, not the RRTYPE.
In various error scenarios (for example, if the server closes the
TCP connection before sending the full response), send_vc can return
without resetting the *resplen2 value. This can pass uninitialized
or unexpected data to the caller.
