bugs fixed:

+Subject: [PATCH] fix incorrect access to tzname[] by strptime %Z conversion
+ specifier
+
+there are three issues here:
+
+1. if tzset has not been called (explicitly or implicitly), the
+tzname[] array will contain null pointers, and the dereference to
+compare against them has undefined behavior (and will fault).
+
+2. access to tzname[] was performed without the timezone lock held.
+this resulted in a data race if the timezone is concurrently changed
+from another thread.
+
+3. due to unintended signedness of the types, the open-coded isalpha
+in the non-matching case was wrong and would continue past null
+termination.
+
+to fix the first two issues, the body of the %Z conversion is moved to
+__tz.c where it has access to locking, and null checks are added.
+
+there is probably an argument to be made that the equivalent of tzset
+should happen here, but POSIX does not specify that to happen, so in
+the absence of an interpretation adding such an allowance or
+requirement, it is not done.
+
+the third issue is fixed just by using the existing isalpha macro.

-Subject: [PATCH v3] add renameat2 linux syscall wrapper
-To: musl@lists.openwall.com
-Cc: Rich Felker <dalias@libc.org>
-
-This syscall is available since Linux 3.15 and also implemented in glibc
-from version 2.28. It is commonly used in filesystem or security contexts.
-
-Constants RENAME_NOREPLACE, RENAME_EXCHANGE, RENAME_WHITEOUT are guarded by
-_GNU_SOURCE as with glibc.

----
-v2 -> v3:
- * call SYS_renameat first if applicable
- * drop unneeded error code handling
-
-v1 -> v2:
- * align related constants
- * drop 'int' from 'unsigned int'
- * add fallback to SYS_renameat where applicable
