The CORE-MATH implementation is correctly rounded (for any rounding mode)
and shows better performance to the generic tanf.
The code was adapted to glibc style, to use the definition of
math_config.h, to remove errno handling, and to use a generic
128 bit routine for ABIs that do not support it natively.

C23 adds various <math.h> function families originally defined in TS
18661-4. Add the logp1 functions (aliases for log1p functions - the
name is intended to be more consistent with the new log2p1 and
log10p1, where clearly it would have been very confusing to name those
functions log21p and log101p). As aliases rather than new functions,
the content of this patch is somewhat different from those actually
adding new functions.
Tests are shared with log1p, so this patch *does* mechanically update
all affected libm-test-ulps files to expect the same errors for both
functions.
The vector versions of log1p on aarch64 and x86_64 are *not* updated
to have logp1 aliases (and thus there are no corresponding header,
tests, abilist or ulps changes for vector functions either). It would
be reasonable for such vector aliases and corresponding changes to
other files to be made separately. For now, the log1p tests instead
avoid testing logp1 in the vector case (a Makefile change is needed to
avoid problems with grep, used in generating the .c files for vector
function tests, matching more than one ALL_RM_TEST line in a file
testing multiple functions with the same inputs, when it assumes that
the .inc file only has a single such line).
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py.
WG14 decided to use the name C23 as the informal name of the next
revision of the C standard (notwithstanding the publication date in
2024). Update references to C2X in glibc to use the C23 name.
This is intended to update everything *except* where it involves
renaming files (the changes involving renaming tests are intended to
be done separately). In the case of the _ISOC2X_SOURCE feature test
macro - the only user-visible interface involved - support for that
macro is kept for backwards compatibility, while adding
_ISOC23_SOURCE.
Tested for x86_64.

In the future, this will result in a compilation failure if the
macros are unexpectedly undefined (due to header inclusion ordering
or header inclusion missing altogether).
Assembler sources are more difficult to convert. In many cases,
they are hand-optimized for the mangling and no-mangling variants,
which is why they are not converted.
sysdeps/s390/s390-32/__longjmp.c and sysdeps/s390/s390-64/__longjmp.c
are special: These are C sources, but most of the implementation is
in assembler, so the PTR_DEMANGLE macro has to be undefined in some
cases, to match the assembler style.

This allows us to define a generic no-op version of PTR_MANGLE and
PTR_DEMANGLE. In the future, we can use PTR_MANGLE and PTR_DEMANGLE
unconditionally in C sources, avoiding an unintended loss of hardening
due to missing include files or unlucky header inclusion ordering.
In i386 and x86_64, we can avoid a <tls.h> dependency in the C
code by using the computed constant from <tcb-offsets.h>. <sysdep.h>
no longer includes these definitions, so there is no cyclic dependency
anymore when computing the <tcb-offsets.h> constants.

PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN indicates whether accesses to internal linkage
variables and hidden visibility variables in a shared object (ld.so)
need dynamic relocations (usually R_*_RELATIVE). PI (position
independent) in the macro name is a misnomer: a code sequence using GOT
is typically position-independent as well, but using dynamic relocations
does not meet the requirement.
Not defining PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN is legacy and we expect that all new
ports will define PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN. Current ports defining
PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN are more than the opposite. Change the configure
default.

Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default
because they do not work at the moment. hppa, ia64, alpha and csky
don't work because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation
generated from PIE objects. The microblaze compiler is currently
failing with an ICE. GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does
not work and hence fails. All these targets have default PIE disabled

TLS_INIT_TCB_ALIGN is not actually used. TLS_TCB_ALIGN was likely
introduced to support a configuration where the thread pointer
has not the same alignment as THREAD_SELF. Only ia64 seems to use
that, but for the stack/pointer guard, not for storing tcbhead_t.
Some ports use TLS_TCB_OFFSET and TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE to shift
the thread pointer, potentially landing in a different residue class
modulo the alignment, but the changes should not impact that.
In general, given that TLS variables have their own alignment
requirements, having different alignment for the (unshifted) thread
pointer and struct pthread would potentially result in dynamic
offsets, leading to more complexity.
hppa had different values before: __alignof__ (tcbhead_t), which
seems to be 4, and __alignof__ (struct pthread), which was 8
(old default) and is now 32. However, it defines THREAD_SELF as:
/* Return the thread descriptor for the current thread. */
# define THREAD_SELF \
({ struct pthread *__self; \
__self = __get_cr27(); \
__self - 1; \
})
So the thread pointer points after struct pthread (hence __self - 1),
and they have to have the same alignment on hppa as well.
Similarly, on ia64, the definitions were different. We have:
# define TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE \
(sizeof (struct pthread) \
+ (PTHREAD_STRUCT_END_PADDING < 2 * sizeof (uintptr_t) \
? ((2 * sizeof (uintptr_t) + __alignof__ (struct pthread) - 1) \
& ~(__alignof__ (struct pthread) - 1)) \
: 0))
# define THREAD_SELF \
((struct pthread *) ((char *) __thread_self - TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE))
And TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE is a multiple of the struct pthread alignment
(confirmed by the new _Static_assert in sysdeps/ia64/libc-tls.c).
On m68k, we have a larger gap between tcbhead_t and struct pthread.
But as far as I can tell, the port is fine with that. The definition
of TCB_OFFSET is sufficient to handle the shifted TCB scenario.
This fixes commit 23c77f6018
("nptl: Increase default TCB alignment to 32").
