This internal change ideally should not affect the public API or ABI,
but there is a widespread use of seccomp sandboxes, even on 32-bit
targets, that don't handle new Linux syscall usage well, so it's
worth mentioning in the NEWS.

Commit 1c3f9acf1f ("nptl: Add struct_mutex.h")
replaced a zero constant with the identifier PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT
in the macro PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER. However, that constant
is not available in ISO C11 mode:

This commit change the constant to the equivalent
PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP, which is in the POSIX extension namespace
and thus always available.
In testing glibc for Arm and MIPS, I see:
FAIL: misc/tst-sigcontext-get_pc
If this test - backtracing through a call to raise - is valid, then
raise needs to be built with -fasynchronous-unwind-tables (as the test
itself is) to have the required unwind information for that
backtracing to work. Adding that option, which this patch does,
causes the test for pass for Arm. For MIPS, the test still does not
pass (the backtrace has an address that is 2 bytes after the "address
in signal handler", for unknown reasons), although the patch allows a
longer backtrace to be produced.
The locale/tst-locale-locpath test unsets LANG, then runs a test with
test_wrapper_env and expects LANG to remain unset for that test. This
does not work for cross-testing with cross-test-ssh.sh when sshd (on
the system specified as an argument to cross-test-ssh.sh) is
configured to have a default LANG setting.
The general design used in cross testing, after commit
8540f6d2a7 ("Don't require test wrappers
to preserve environment variables, use more consistent environment.",
6 June 2014), is that environment settings required by tests should be
passed explicitly to $(test-wrapper-env). This patch changes
tst-locale-locpath.sh to pass an explicit LANG= rather than expecting
"unset LANG" to be in effect for the program run under
test_wrapper_env. Note that this does slightly change the environment
in which the test is run natively (empty LANG instead of unset LANG)
but that difference does not appear relevant to what it is trying to
test.
Tested for Arm that this fixes the failure seen for that test in
cross-testing.
As noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-06/msg00824.html>,
elf/tst-rtld-preload fails when cross-testing because it attempts to
run the test wrapper with itself. Unfortunately, that thread never
resulted in a complete and correct patch for that test.
This patch addresses the issues with that test more thoroughly. The
test is changed not to use the wrapper twice, including updating the
message it prints about the command it runs to be more complete and
accurate after the change; the Makefile is changed not to pass the
redundant '$(test-wrapper)' argument.
Tested for Arm that this fixes the failure seen for that test in
cross-testing.
The tests elf/tst-ifunc-fault-bindnow and elf/tst-ifunc-fault-lazy
fail in cross-testing because they run the dynamic linker directly
without using the test wrapper. This patch fixes them to use the test
wrapper instead.
Tested that this fixes the failure of those two tests for powerpc
soft-float.
The ChangeLog automation scripts were incorporated in gnulib as
vcs-to-changelog for a while now since other projects expressed the
desire to use and extend this script. In the interest of avoiding
duplication of code, drop the glibc version of gitlog-to-changelog and
use the gnulib one directly.
The only file that remains is vcstocl_quirks.py, which specifies
properties and quirks of the glibc project source code. This patch
also drops the shebang at the start of vcstocl_quirks.py since the
file is not intended to be directly executable.
The change was introduced in:

The commit 446997ff14 introduced
this new usage of resplen. If build with gcc 9 -march>=z13 on s390x,
the following warning occurs:
res_send.c: In function ‘__res_context_send’:
res_send.c:539:6: error: ‘resplen’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
539 | if (resplen > HFIXEDSZ)

Therefore this patch adds a further DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT in the
same way as it was previously done for usages of resplen or n.

The translation project coordinator Benno Schulenberg suggested that
we could save space in our tarball by trimming the generated po files
by using msgattrib and dropping all untranslated, fuzzy and obsolete
messages. This patch updates the update-translations target to do
that. Testing indicates that the current po files reduce by over 65K
lines due to this trimming.
The latest translations in the translationproject URL need to be
merged in using msgmerge for the po files to be correctly updated,
otherwise we may end up getting odd results, such as the previous
translations update. This patch adds another step to the
update-translations Makefile target which does a msgmerge of the
downloaded po file with libc.pot and then uses that as the final
result.
The build has been failing on powerpc64le-linux-gnu with GCC 10
due to a maybe-uninitialized error:
../sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/mpa.c:875:6: error: ‘w.e’ may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
875 | EY -= EX;
| ^~
The warning is thrown because when __inv is called by __dvd *y is not
initialized and if t == 0 before calling __dbl_mp, EY will stay
uninitialized, as the function does not touch it in this case.
However, since t will be set to 1/t before calling __dbl_mp, t == 0 will
never happen, so we can instruct the compiler to ignore this case, which
suppresses the warning.
Tested on powerpc64le.

This test was failing in some powerpc systems as it was not checking
for ENOSPC return.
As said on the Linux man-pages and can be observed by the implementation
at mm/mprotect.c in the Linux Kernel source. The syscall pkey_alloc can
return EINVAL or ENOSPC. ENOSPC will indicate either that all keys are
in use or that the kernel does not support pkeys.

GCC 10.0 enabled -fno-common by default and this started to point that
__cache_line_size had been implemented in 2 different places: loader and
libc.
In order to avoid this duplication, the libc variable has been removed
and the loader variable is moved to rtld_global_ro.

The update-translation target seems to have downloaded outdated
translations for these languages. Revert them and try to figure out
if this is a problem with the target or an error in translations.
Without CET, a jump into a newly loaded object through an overwritten
link map often does not crash, it just executes some random code.
CET detects this in some cases because the function pointer does not
point to the start of a function in the replacement shared object,
so there is no ENDBR instruction.
The new test uses a small shared object and the existing dangling
link map to trigger the bug.

In commit aa706e13f4,
sysdeps/mips/ieee754/ieee754.h was changed to use GCC’s predefined
macro __LDBL_MANT_DIG__, instead of including <float.h> and using
LDBL_MANT_DIG (and therefore polluting the user namespace with all of
the macros defined in float.h). In order to support compilers that
don’t provide __LDBL_MANT_DIG__, there is a fallback #if block which
was supposed to include <float.h> and then define __LDBL_MANT_DIG__ to
LDBL_MANT_DIG. However, at some point during the development of the
patch, a typo was introduced, causing the fallback block to define
__LDBL_MANT_DIG__ to expand to __LDBL_MANT_DIG__.
Correct this typo.
