call only requires memory allocation for the message translation, so
test-assert2.c is adapted to handle it.
It also removes the fxprintf from assert/assert_perror; although it
is not 100% backwards-compatible (write message only if there is a
file descriptor associated with the stderr). It now writes bytes
directly without going through the wide stream state.
nptl: Fix MADV_GUARD_INSTALL logic for thread without guard page (BZ 33356)
The main issue is that setup_stack_prot fails to account for cases where
the cached thread stack lacks a guard page, which can cause madvise to
fail. Update the logic to also handle whether MADV_GUARD_INSTALL is
supported when resizing the guard page.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu with 6.8.0 and 6.15 kernels.
x86: Use "%v" to emit VEX encoded instructions for AVX targets
Legacy encodings of SSE instructions incur AVX-SSE domain transition
penalties on some Intel microarchitectures (e.g. Haswell, Broadwell).
Using the VEX forms avoids these penatlies and keeps all instructions
in the VEX decode domain. Use "%v" sequence to emit the "v" prefix
for opcodes when compiling with -mavx.
GCC now accept plain variable names as valid lvalues for "m"
constraints, automatically spilling locals to memory if necessary.
The long-standing "*&" pattern was originally used as a defensive
workaround for older compiler versions that rejected operands
such as:
asm ("incl %0" : "+m"(x));
with errors like "memory input is not directly addressable".
Modern compilers (GCC >= 9) reliably generate correct code
without the workaround, and the resulting assembly is identical.

hurd: catch SIGSEGV on returning from signal handler
On stack overflow typically, we may not actually have room on the stack to
trampoline back from the signal handler. We have to detect this before
locking the ss, otherwise the signal thread will be stuck on taking the
ss lock while trying to post SIGSEGV.
Remove support for obsolete dumped heaps. Dumping heaps was discontinued
8 years ago, however loading a dumped heap is still supported. This blocks
changes and improvements of the malloc data structures - hence it is time
to remove this. Ancient binaries that still call malloc_set_state will now
get the -1 error code. Update tst-mallocstate.c to just check for this.
The realpath call may trigger OOM termination of the test process
under difficult-to-predict circumstances. (It depends on available
RAM and swap.) Therefore, instruct the test driver to ignore
an OOM process termination during the realpath call.
support: Add support_accept_oom to heuristically support OOM errors
Some tests may trigger the kernel OOM handler under conditions
which are difficult to predict (depending on available RAM and
swap space). If we can determine specific regions which might
do this and this does not contradict the test object, the
functions support_accept_oom (true) and support_accept_oom (false)
can be called at the start and end, and the test driver will
ignore SIGKILL signals.
The "unused" variable could be use unitialized, which is an issue if ldd
is ran with "-u". Fix that by defining the variable to an empty value,
just like it is already done for the bind_now, warn and verbose

LoongArch: Use the generic shmlab.h.
The shmlba.h file related to the LoongArch architecture was introduced
in commit 3eed5f3a1ee to address the mismatch in the SHMLBA definition
between glibc and the kernel. See [1]. The SHMLBA definition was later
updated in commit d23b77953f5a. See [2]. Now, we adopt the definition
from the common layer.
LoongArch: Fix inconsistency in SHMLBA macro values between glibc and kernel
The LoongArch glibc was using the value of the SHMLBA macro from common code,
which is __getpagesize() (16k), but this was inconsistent with the value of
the SHMLBA macro in the kernel, which is SZ_64K (64k). This caused several
shmat-related tests in LTP (Linux Test Project) to fail. This commit fixes
the issue by ensuring that the glibc's SHMLBA macro value matches the value
used in the kernel like other architectures.
LoongArch has hardware page coloring for L1 Cache, so we don't have
cache aliases. But SFB (Store Fill Buffer) still has aliases. So we
define SHMLBA to SZ_64K previously. But there are losts of applications
use PAGE_SIZE rather than SHMLBA to mmap() file pages and shared pages.
Of course we can fix them one by one, but not easy.
On the other hand, we can simply disable SFB for 4KB page size to fix
cache alias (there will be performance decrease, but acceptable), and
in future we will fix SFB in hardware. So we can safely define SHMLBA to
PAGE_SIZE (use the generic shmparam.h) to make life easier.

There are still a couple of places in the tree that uses them

x86 didn't define __arch_c_compare_and_exchange_bool_* primitives

instead. This resulted in unoptimal code for
catomic_compare_and_exchange_bool_acq where superfluous
CMP was emitted after CMPXCHG, e.g. in arena_get2:
OTOH, catomic_decrement does not fallback to atomic_fetch_add (, -1)
builtin but to the cmpxchg loop, so the generated code in arena_get2
regresses a bit, from using LOCK DECQ insn:
Depending on the target processor, the compiler may emit either
'LOCK ADD/SUB $1, m' or 'INC/DEC $1, m' instruction, due to partial
flag register stall issue.
atomic: Use builtin atomics with USE_ATOMIC_COMPILER_BUILTINS
Use builtin atomics for atomic_compare_and_exchange_* and

malloc: Support hugepages in mremap_chunk
Add mremap_chunk support for mmap()ed chunks using hugepages by accounting for
their alignment, to prevent the mremap call failing in most cases where the
size passed is not a hugepage size multiple. It also improves robustness for
reallocating hugepages since mremap is much less likely to fail, so running
out of memory when reallocating a larger size and having to copy the old
contents after mremap fails is also less likely.
To track whether an mmap()ed chunk uses hugepages, have a flag in the lowest
bit of the mchunk_prev_size field which is set after a call to sysmalloc_mmap,
and accessed later in mremap_chunk. Create macros for getting and setting this
bit, and for mapping the bit off when accessing the field for mmap()ed chunks.
Since the alignment cannot be lower than 8 bytes, this flag cannot affect the
alignment data.
Add malloc/tst-tcfree4-malloc-check to the tests-exclude-malloc-check list as
malloc-check prevents the tcache from being used to store chunks. This test
caused failures due to a bug in mem2chunk_check to be fixed in a later patch.

malloc: Change mmap chunk layout
Change the mmap chunk layout to be identical to a normal chunk. This makes it
safe for tcache to hold mmap chunks and simplifies size calculations in
memsize and musable. Add mmap_base() and mmap_size() macros to simplify code.
