Make gen-XX-const scripts work with llvm-as
The gen-as-const and gen-py-const scripts are used to generate integer constant
definitions from a list of constant C-expressions. This is achieved by
generating a C program with inline `asm` statements, that depend on
these constant expressions. During compilation, the constant expressions
are evaluated, and included in the inline asm. The build process
generates only the assembly, and then used `sed` to extract the values
from the assembly text.
This is clever. It allows the build process to extract the value of C
statements built under the target architecture. The implementation is a
bit fragile, but it is not immediately obvious to me how it could be
improved.
This change slightly modifies `gen-as-const` and `gen-py-const` to emit
valid assembly directives instead of invalid directives that were
previously emitted. Since the values are extracted via string parsing,
this has no effect on the values extracted. This is needed because the
LLVM assembler validates all statements before emitting them, whereas it
appears GCC will literally emit any `asm` directives without validation
or recognition.
According to ARMv8 architecture reference manual section C7.2.188, SIMD MOV (to
general) instruction format is
MOV <Xd>, <Vn>.D[<index>]
gas appears to accept "<Vn>.2D[<index>]" as well, but clang's assembler does
not. C.f. https://community.arm.com/developer/ip-products/processors/f/cortex-a-forum/5214/aarch64-assembly-syntax-for-armclang

Fix blocking pthread_join. [BZ #23137]
On s390 (31bit) if glibc is build with -Os, pthread_join sometimes
blocks indefinitely. This is e.g. observable with
testcase intl/tst-gettext6.
pthread_join is calling lll_wait_tid(tid), which performs the futex-wait
syscall in a loop as long as tid != 0 (thread is alive).
On s390 (and build with -Os), tid is loaded from memory before
comparing against zero and then the tid is loaded a second time
in order to pass it to the futex-wait-syscall.
If the thread exits in between, then the futex-wait-syscall is
called with the value zero and it waits until a futex-wake occurs.
As the thread is already exited, there won't be a futex-wake.
In lll_wait_tid, the tid is stored to the local variable __tid,
which is then used as argument for the futex-wait-syscall.
But unfortunately the compiler is allowed to reload the value
from memory.
With this patch, the tid is loaded with atomic_load_acquire.
Then the compiler is not allowed to reload the value for __tid from memory.
ChangeLog:
[BZ #23137]
* sysdeps/nptl/lowlevellock.h (lll_wait_tid):

manual: Various fixes to the mbstouwcs example, and mbrtowc update
The example did not work because the null byte was not converted, and
mbrtowc was called with a zero-length input string. This results in a
(size_t) -2 return value, so the function always returns NULL.
The size computation for the heap allocation of the result was
incorrect because it did not deal with integer overflow.
Error checking was missing, and the allocated memory was not freed on
error paths. All error returns now set errno. (Note that there is an
assumption that free does not clobber errno.)
The slightly unportable comparision against (size_t) -2 to catch both
(size_t) -1 and (size_t) -2 return values is gone as well.
A null wide character needs to be stored in the result explicitly, to
terminate it.
The description in the manual is updated to deal with these finer
points. The (size_t) -2 behavior (consuming the input bytes) matches
what is specified in ISO C11.

RISC-V: fix struct kernel_sigaction to match the kernel version [BZ #23069]
The RISC-V kernel doesn't define SA_RESTORER, hence the kernel version

the issue. This fixes for example the libnih testsuite.

sa_restorer as a request for stack switching if the SS segment is 'funny'.

segmentation (for instance through modify_ldt syscall) is randomly broken
depending on what values lands in sa_restorer.
The testcase added is based on Linux test tools/testing/selftests/x86/ldt_gdt.c,
more specifically in do_multicpu_tests function. The main changes are:
- C11 atomics instead of plain access.
- Remove x86_64 support which simplifies the syscall handling and fallbacks.
- Replicate only the test required to trigger the issue.

[BZ #22342] Fix netgroup cache keys.
Unlike other nscd caches, the netgroup cache contains two types of
records - those for "iterate through a netgroup" (i.e. setnetgrent())
and those for "is this user in this netgroup" (i.e. innetgr()),
i.e. full and partial records. The timeout code assumes these records
have the same key for the group name, so that the collection of records
that is "this netgroup" can be expired as a unit.
However, the keys are not the same, as the in-netgroup key is generated
by nscd rather than being passed to it from elsewhere, and is generated
without the trailing NUL. All other keys have the trailing NUL, and as
noted in the linked BZ, debug statements confirm that two keys for the
same netgroup are added to the cache with two different lengths.
The result of this is that as records in the cache expire, the purge
code only cleans out one of the two types of entries, resulting in
stale, possibly incorrect, and possibly inconsistent cache data.
The patch simply includes the existing NUL in the computation for the
key length ('key' points to the char after the NUL, and 'group' to the
first char of the group, so 'key-group' includes the first char to the
NUL, inclusive).
