I used these shell commands: ../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright (cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]") and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning: copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO. I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h, support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not. remote: *** 912-#endif remote: *** 913: remote: *** 914- remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found ... remote: *** error: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/statx_cp.c: trailing lines
Tell the compiler that xmalloc family of allocators always return non-NULL. xrealloc in locale/programs also always returns non-NULL, but that conflicts with default realloc behaviour and that of xrealloc in libsupport, so keep it as is for now and resolve the differences later.

To help detect common kinds of memory (and other resource) management bugs, GCC 11 adds support for the detection of mismatched calls to allocation and deallocation functions. At each call site to a known deallocation function GCC checks the set of allocation functions the former can be paired with and, if the two don't match, issues a -Wmismatched-dealloc warning (something similar happens in C++ for mismatched calls to new and delete). GCC also uses the same mechanism to detect attempts to deallocate objects not allocated by any allocation function (or pointers past the first byte into allocated objects) by -Wfree-nonheap-object. This support is enabled for built-in functions like malloc and free. To extend it beyond those, GCC extends attribute malloc to designate a deallocation function to which pointers returned from the allocation function may be passed to deallocate the allocated objects. Another, optional argument designates the positional argument to which the pointer must be passed. This change is the first step in enabling this extended support for Glibc.

During testing of localedef running in a minimal container there were several error cases which were hard to diagnose since they appeared as strerror (errno) values printed by the higher level functions. This change adds three new verbose messages for potential failure paths. The new messages give the user the opportunity to use -v and display additional information about why localedef might be failing. I found these messages useful myself while writing a localedef container test for --no-hard-links. Since the changes cleanup the code that handle codeset normalization we add tst-localedef-path-norm which contains many sub-tests to verify the correct expected normalization of codeset strings both when installing to default paths (the only time normalization is enabled) and installing to absolute paths. During the refactoring I created at least one buffer-overflow which valgrind caught, but these tests did not catch because the exec in the container had a very clean heap with zero-initialized memory. However, between valgrind and the tests the results are clean. The new tst-localedef-path-norm passes without regression on x86_64. Change-Id: I28b9f680711ff00252a2cb15625b774cc58ecb9d
