Besides the snarl of debugger/ucontext interfaces, these are the only
public headers that include signal.h.

sys/wait.h includes signal.h only for the definition of siginfo_t.
We already have a single-type header for that, so use it.  siginfo_t
contains a field whose type is uid_t, but sys/wait.h is not specified
to define uid_t, so, as is already done for pid_t, the conformance
test is modified to expect that field to have type __uid_t instead.

It is not clear what subset of the definitions from signal.h are
actually expected by historical users of sys/param.h; I’ve chosen to
take the comment at face value and cut it down to bits/signum.h, which
supplies _NSIG and all of the SIG* constants.  This requires adjusting
every copy of bits/signum.h to permit inclusion by sys/param.h as well
as signal.h.

While I was at it I moved the comment about sys/param.h being obsolete
from sysdeps/mach/hurd/bits/param.h, where it’s not likely to be seen,
to the top-level sys/param.h, and edited it to give more useful advice.

This patch partially fixes Hurd-specific bug 23088; sys/wait.h is now
conformant.

<title>Add bits/types/ wrappers for stddef.h and stdarg.h types.</title>

<content type='text'>
We rely on the compiler's stddef.h and stdarg.h to define size_t,
ptrdiff_t, wchar_t, NULL, and __gnuc_va_list, and to implement a
convention that allows us to request the definition of a specific one:
for instance

    #define __need_size_t
    #include &lt;stddef.h&gt;

is expected to define size_t but not any of the other things stddef.h
defines.

This patch hides that convention behind a set of bits/types/ headers,
which allows check-obsolete-constructs.py to verify that none of our
headers include these headers unconditionally.  (Both of them define
at least one item in the user namespace that no other header is
supposed to expose.)  It will also facilitate coping with compilers
that don’t implement the __need convention.  (That scenario is not
hypothetical, see the next patch.)

Only public headers use the new bits headers.  Non-public headers and
.c files in our codebase, that were formerly defining __need macros,
now just include stddef.h and/or stdarg.h without any __need macros.
A few files didn’t need to be including stddef.h / stdarg.h at all.

Uses of NULL in public headers that aren’t expected to define NULL
are changed to a bare 0.  bits/NULL.h is only used by headers that
are expected to define NULL.

malloc.h and printf.h were, in fact, including stddef.h and/or
stdarg.h unconditionally; they no longer do that.  This broke a few of
our test cases, which are fixed by adding appropriate inclusions to
the relevant .c files.

	* stdlib/bits/NULL.h

	* stdlib/bits/types/ptrdiff_t.h
	* stdlib/bits/types/size_t.h

	* include/bits/types/wchar_t.h:

	* malloc/malloc.h: Don’t include stdio.h or stddef.h.

	and bits/types/FILE.h.
	* stdio-common/printf.h: Don’t include stddef.h or stdarg.h.
	Include bits/types/size_t.h, bits/types/wchar_t.h, and

<title>elf: Move vDSO setup to rtld (BZ#24967)</title>

<id>1bdda52fe92fd01b424cd6fbb63e3df96a95015c</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch moves the vDSO setup from libc to loader code, just after
the vDSO link_map setup.  For static case the initialization
is moved to _dl_non_dynamic_init instead.

Instead of using the mangled pointer, the vDSO data is set as
attribute_relro (on _rtld_global_ro for shared or _dl_vdso_* for
static).  It is read-only even with partial relro.

It fixes BZ#24967 now that the vDSO pointer is setup earlier than
malloc interposition is called.

Also, vDSO calls should not be a problem for static dlopen as
indicated by BZ#20802.  The vDSO pointer would be zero-initialized
and the syscall will be issued instead.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu,
arm-linux-gnueabihf, powerpc64le-linux-gnu, powerpc64-linux-gnu,
powerpc-linux-gnu, s390x-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu, and
sparcv9-linux-gnu.  I also run some tests on mips.

<title>Update copyright dates not handled by scripts/update-copyrights.</title>

<id>5f72f9800b250410cad3abfeeb09469ef12b2438</id>
<content type='text'>
I've updated copyright dates in glibc for 2020.  This is the patch for
the changes not generated by scripts/update-copyrights and subsequent
build / regeneration of generated files.  As well as the usual annual
updates, mainly dates in --version output (minus libc.texinfo which
previously had to be handled manually but is now successfully updated
by update-copyrights), there is a fix to
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/bits/termios-c_lflag.h where a typo in
the copyright notice meant it failed to be updated automatically.

Please remember to include 2020 in the dates for any new files added
in future (which means updating any existing uncommitted patches you
have that add new files to use the new copyright dates in them).

do_set_tcache_max, do_set_mxfast:
Fix two instances of comparing "size_t &lt; 0"
Both cases have upper limit, so the "negative value" case
is already handled via overflow semantics.

do_set_tcache_max, do_set_tcache_count:
Fix return value on error.  Note: currently not used.

mallopt:
pass return value of helper functions to user.  Behavior should
only be actually changed for mxfast, where we restore the old
(pre-tunables) behavior.

<title>Base max_fast on alignment, not width, of bins (Bug 24903)</title>

set_max_fast sets the "impossibly small" value based on,
eventually, MALLOC_ALIGNMENT.  The comparisons for the smallest
chunk used is, eventually, MIN_CHUNK_SIZE.  Note that i386
is the only platform where these are the same, so a smallest
chunk *would* be put in a no-fastbins fastbin.

This change calculates the "impossibly small" value
based on MIN_CHUNK_SIZE instead, so that we can know it will
always be impossibly small.
