C2x adds binary integer constants starting with 0b or 0B, and supports
those constants in strtol-family functions when the base passed is 0
or 2.  Implement that strtol support for glibc.

As discussed at
&lt;https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-December/120414.html&gt;,
this is incompatible with previous C standard versions, in that such
an input string starting with 0b or 0B was previously required to be
parsed as 0 (with the rest of the string unprocessed).  Thus, as
proposed there, this patch adds 20 new __isoc23_* functions with
appropriate header redirection support.  This patch does *not* do
anything about scanf %i (which will need 12 new functions per long
double variant, so 12, 24 or 36 depending on the glibc configuration),
instead leaving that for a future patch.  The function names would
remain as __isoc23_* even if C2x ends up published in 2024 rather than
2023.

Making this change leads to the question of what should happen to
internal uses of these functions in glibc and its tests.  The header
redirection (which applies for _GNU_SOURCE or any other feature test
macros enabling C2x features) has the effect of redirecting internal
uses but without those uses then ending up at a hidden alias (see the
comment in include/stdio.h about interaction with libc_hidden_proto).
It seems desirable for the default for internal uses to be the same
versions used by normal code using _GNU_SOURCE, so rather than doing
anything to disable that redirection, similar macro definitions to
those in include/stdio.h are added to the include/ headers for the new
functions.

Given that the default for uses in glibc is for the redirections to
apply, the next question is whether the C2x semantics are correct for
all those uses.  Uses with the base fixed to 10, 16 or any other value
other than 0 or 2 can be ignored.  I think this leaves the following
internal uses to consider (an important consideration for review of
this patch will be both whether this list is complete and whether my
conclusions on all entries in it are correct):

benchtests/bench-malloc-simple.c
benchtests/bench-string.h
elf/sotruss-lib.c
math/libm-test-support.c
nptl/perf.c
nscd/nscd_conf.c
nss/nss_files/files-parse.c
posix/tst-fnmatch.c
posix/wordexp.c
resolv/inet_addr.c
rt/tst-mqueue7.c
soft-fp/testit.c
stdlib/fmtmsg.c
support/support_test_main.c
support/test-container.c
sysdeps/pthread/tst-mutex10.c

I think all of these places are OK with the new semantics, except for
resolv/inet_addr.c, where the POSIX semantics of inet_addr do not
allow for binary constants; thus, I changed that file (to use
__strtoul_internal, whose semantics are unchanged) and added a test
for this case.  In the case of posix/wordexp.c I think accepting
binary constants is OK since POSIX explicitly allows additional forms
of shell arithmetic expressions, and in stdlib/fmtmsg.c SEV_LEVEL is
not in POSIX so again I think accepting binary constants is OK.

Functions such as __strtol_internal, which are only exported for
compatibility with old binaries from when those were used in inline
functions in headers, have unchanged semantics; the __*_l_internal
versions (purely internal to libc and not exported) have a new
argument to specify whether to accept binary constants.

As well as for the standard functions, the header redirection also
applies to the *_l versions (GNU extensions), and to legacy functions
such as strtoq, to avoid confusing inconsistency (the *q functions
redirect to __isoc23_*ll rather than needing their own __isoc23_*
entry points).  For the functions that are only declared with
_GNU_SOURCE, this means the old versions are no longer available for
normal user programs at all.  An internal __GLIBC_USE_C2X_STRTOL macro
is used to control the redirections in the headers, and cases in glibc
that wish to avoid the redirections - the function implementations
themselves and the tests of the old versions of the GNU functions -
then undefine and redefine that macro to allow the old versions to be
accessed.  (There would of course be greater complexity should we wish
to make any of the old versions into compat symbols / avoid them being
defined at all for new glibc ABIs.)

strtol_l.c has some similarity to strtol.c in gnulib, but has already
diverged some way (and isn't listed at all at
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/SharedSourceFiles unlike strtoll.c
and strtoul.c); I haven't made any attempts at gnulib compatibility in
the changes to that file.

I note incidentally that inttypes.h and wchar.h are missing the
__nonnull present on declarations of this family of functions in
stdlib.h; I didn't make any changes in that regard for the new
declarations added.

<title>arc4random: simplify design for better safety</title>

Rather than buffering 16 MiB of entropy in userspace (by way of
chacha20), simply call getrandom() every time.

This approach is doubtlessly slower, for now, but trying to prematurely
optimize arc4random appears to be leading toward all sorts of nasty
properties and gotchas. Instead, this patch takes a much more
conservative approach. The interface is added as a basic loop wrapper
around getrandom(), and then later, the kernel and libc together can
work together on optimizing that.

This prevents numerous issues in which userspace is unaware of when it
really must throw away its buffer, since we avoid buffering all
together. Future improvements may include userspace learning more from
the kernel about when to do that, which might make these sorts of
chacha20-based optimizations more possible. The current heuristic of 16
MiB is meaningless garbage that doesn't correspond to anything the
kernel might know about. So for now, let's just do something
conservative that we know is correct and won't lead to cryptographic
issues for users of this function.

This patch might be considered along the lines of, "optimization is the
root of all evil," in that the much more complex implementation it
replaces moves too fast without considering security implications,
whereas the incremental approach done here is a much safer way of going
about things. Once this lands, we can take our time in optimizing this
properly using new interplay between the kernel and userspace.

getrandom(0) is used, since that's the one that ensures the bytes
returned are cryptographically secure. But on systems without it, we
fallback to using /dev/urandom. This is unfortunate because it means
opening a file descriptor, but there's not much of a choice. Secondly,
as part of the fallback, in order to get more or less the same
properties of getrandom(0), we poll on /dev/random, and if the poll
succeeds at least once, then we assume the RNG is initialized. This is a
rough approximation, as the ancient "non-blocking pool" initialized
after the "blocking pool", not before, and it may not port back to all
ancient kernels, though it does to all kernels supported by glibc
(≥3.2), so generally it's the best approximation we can do.

The motivation for including arc4random, in the first place, is to have
source-level compatibility with existing code. That means this patch
doesn't attempt to litigate the interface itself. It does, however,
choose a conservative approach for implementing it.

The implementation is based on scalar Chacha20 with per-thread cache.
It uses getrandom or /dev/urandom as fallback to get the initial entropy,
and reseeds the internal state on every 16MB of consumed buffer.

To improve performance and lower memory consumption the per-thread cache
is allocated lazily on first arc4random functions call, and if the
memory allocation fails getentropy or /dev/urandom is used as fallback.
The cache is also cleared on thread exit iff it was initialized (so if
arc4random is not called it is not touched).

Although it is lock-free, arc4random is still not async-signal-safe
(the per thread state is not updated atomically).

The ChaCha20 implementation is based on RFC8439 [1], omitting the final
XOR of the keystream with the plaintext because the plaintext is a
stream of zeros.  This strategy is similar to what OpenBSD arc4random
does.

The arc4random_uniform is based on previous work by Florian Weimer,
where the algorithm is based on Jérémie Lumbroso paper Optimal Discrete
Uniform Generation from Coin Flips, and Applications (2013) [2], who
credits Donald E. Knuth and Andrew C. Yao, The complexity of nonuniform
random number generation (1976), for solving the general case.

The main advantage of this method is the that the unit of randomness is not
the uniform random variable (uint32_t), but a random bit.  It optimizes the
internal buffer sampling by initially consuming a 32-bit random variable
and then sampling byte per byte.  Depending of the upper bound requested,
it might lead to better CPU utilization.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux, and powerpc64le-linux-gnu.

The symbols were moved using move-symbol-to-libc.py.

Both functions are moved at the same time because they depend
on internal functions in sysdeps/pthread/sem_routines.c, which
are moved in this commit as well.  Additional hidden prototypes
are required to avoid check-localplt failures.

<title>hurd: keep only required PLTs in ld.so</title>

We need NO_RTLD_HIDDEN because of the need for PLT calls in ld.so.
See Roland's comment in
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15605
"in the Hurd it's crucial that calls like __mmap be the libc ones
instead of the rtld-local ones after the bootstrap phase, when the
dynamic linker is being used for dlopen and the like."

We used to just avoid all hidden use in the rtld ; this commit switches to
keeping only those that should use PLT calls, i.e. essentially those defined in
sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c:

__assert_fail
__assert_perror_fail
__*stat64
_exit

This fixes a few startup issues, notably the call to __tunable_get_val that is
made before PLTs are set up.

Improve the commentary to aid future developers who will stumble
upon this novel, yet not always perfect, mechanism to support
alternative formats for long double.

Likewise, rename __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 to
__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI now that development work
has settled down.  The command used was

git grep -l __LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 ':!./ChangeLog*' | \
  xargs sed -i 's/__LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128/__LDOUBLE_REDIRECTS_TO_FLOAT128_ABI/g'
