<title>Implement C23 memset_explicit (bug 32378)</title>

<id>0f201f4a817e39c01c502f523d4ea3c91f242767</id>
<content type='text'>
Add the C23 memset_explicit function to glibc.  Everything here is
closely based on the approach taken for explicit_bzero.  This includes
the bits that relate to internal uses of explicit_bzero within glibc
(although we don't currently have any such internal uses of
memset_explicit), and also includes the nonnull attribute (when we
move to nonnull_if_nonzero for various functions following C2y, this
function should be included in that change).

The function is declared both for __USE_MISC and for __GLIBC_USE (ISOC23)
(so by default not just for compilers defaulting to C23 mode).

Tested for x86_64 and x86.

These functions are about to be added to POSIX, under Austin Group
issue 986.

The fortified strlcat implementation does not raise SIGABRT if the
destination buffer does not contain a null terminator, it just
inherits the non-failing regular strlcat behavior.

<title>string.h: fix __fortified_attr_access macro call [BZ #29162]</title>

commit e938c0274 "Don't add access size hints to fortifiable functions"
converted a few '__attr_access ((...))' into '__fortified_attr_access (...)'
calls.

But one of conversions had double parentheses of '__fortified_attr_access (...)'.

Noticed as a gnat6 build failure:

    /&lt;&lt;NIX&gt;&gt;-glibc-2.34-210-dev/include/bits/string_fortified.h:110:50: error: macro "__fortified_attr_access" requires 3 arguments, but only 1 given

The change fixes parentheses.

This is seen when using compilers that do not support
__builtin___stpncpy_chk, e.g. gcc older than 4.7, clang older than 2.6
or some compiler not derived from gcc or clang.

<title>debug: Synchronize feature guards in fortified functions [BZ #28746]</title>

Some functions (e.g. stpcpy, pread64, etc.) had moved to POSIX in the
main headers as they got incorporated into the standard, but their
fortified variants remained under __USE_GNU.  As a result, these
functions did not get fortified when _GNU_SOURCE was not defined.

Add test wrappers that check all functions tested in tst-chk0 at all
levels with _GNU_SOURCE undefined and then use the failures to (1)
exclude checks for _GNU_SOURCE functions in these tests and (2) Fix
feature macro guards in the fortified function headers so that they're
the same as the ones in the main headers.

This fixes BZ #28746.

In the context of a function definition, the size hints imply that the
size of an object pointed to by one parameter is another parameter.
This doesn't make sense for the fortified versions of the functions
since that's the bit it's trying to validate.

This is harmless with __builtin_object_size since it has fairly simple
semantics when it comes to objects passed as function parameters.
With __builtin_dynamic_object_size we could (as my patchset for gcc[1]
already does) use the access attribute to determine the object size in
the general case but it misleads the fortified functions.

Basically the problem occurs when access attributes are present on
regular functions that have inline fortified definitions to generate
_chk variants; the attributes get inherited by these definitions,
causing problems when analyzing them.  For example with poll(fds, nfds,
timeout), nfds is hinted using the __attr_access as being the size of
fds.

Now, when analyzing the inline function definition in bits/poll2.h, the
compiler sees that nfds is the size of fds and tries to use that
information in the function body.  In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 case, where the
object size could be a non-constant expression, this information results
in the conclusion that nfds is the size of fds, which defeats the
purpose of the implementation because we're trying to check here if nfds
does indeed represent the size of fds.  Hence for this case, it is best
to not have the access attribute.

With the attributes gone, the expression evaluation should get delayed
until the function is actually inlined into its destinations.

Disable the access attribute for fortified function inline functions
when building at _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 to make this work better.  The
access attributes remain for the _chk variants since they can be used
by the compiler to warn when the caller is passing invalid arguments.
