This patch introduces two new convenience functions to set the default
thread attributes used for creating threads. This allows a programmer
to set the default thread attributes just once in a process and then
run pthread_create without additional attributes.

MicroBlaze: negated errors in lowlevellock.h
The macros in lowlevellock.h are returning positive errors, but the
users of the macros expect negative. This causes e.g. sem_wait to
sometimes return an error with errno set to -EWOULDBLOCK.

Avoid access beyond memory bounds in pthread_attr_getaffinity_np
Resolves BZ #15618.
pthread_attr_getaffinity_np may write beyond bounds of the input
cpuset buffer if the size of the input buffer is smaller than the
buffer present in the input pthread attributes. Fix is to copy to the
extent of the minimum of the source and the destination.

tile: default to little-endian in bits/endian.h
This turns out to be helpful when doing a from-scratch cross-compile of
gcc and glibc, since you can then do "make install-headers" in glibc
even before you have a functioning tile gcc.

GCC 4.8 enables -ftree-loop-distribute-patterns at -O3 by default and
this optimization may transform loops into memset/memmove calls. Without
proper handling this may generate unexpected PLT calls on GLIBC.
This patch fixes by create memset/memmove alias to internal GLIBC
__GI_memset/__GI_memmove symbols.
The most common use case of math functions is with default rounding
mode, i.e. rounding to nearest. Setting and restoring rounding mode
is an unnecessary overhead for this, so I've added support for a
context, which does the set/restore only if the FP status needs a
change. The code is written such that only x86 uses these. Other
architectures should be unaffected by it, but would definitely benefit
if the set/restore has as much overhead relative to the rest of the
code, as the x86 bits do.
Here's a summary of the performance improvement due to these
improvements; I've only mentioned functions that use the set/restore
and have benchmark inputs for x86_64:
Begin porting string performance tests to benchtests
This is the initial support for string function performance tests,
along with copying tests for memcpy and memcpy-ifunc as proof of
concept. The string function benchmarks perform operations at
different alignments and for different sizes and compare performance
between plain operations and the optimized string operations. Due to
this their output is incompatible with the function benchmarks where
we're interested in fastest time, throughput, etc.
In future, the correctness checks in the benchmark tests can be
removed. Same goes for the performance measurements in the
string/test-*.
__clock_gettime and other __clock_* functions could result in an extra
PLT reference within libc.so if it actually gets used. None of the
code currently uses them, which is why this probably went unnoticed.

x86*: Return syscall error for lll_futex_wake.
It is very very possible that the futex syscall returns an
error and that the caller of lll_futex_wake may want to
look at that error and propagate the failure.
This patch allows a caller to see the syscall error.
There are no users of the syscall error at present, but
future cleanups are now be able to check for the error.
Avoid overwriting earlier flags in CPPFLAGS-nonlib in benchtests
When setting BENCH_DURATION in CPPFLAGS-nonlib, append to the variable

BZ #15536: Fix ulp for 128-bit IBM long double.
In 128-bit IBM long double the precision of the type
decreases as you approach subnormal numbers, equaling
that of a double for subnormal numbers. Therefore
adjust the computation in ulp to use 2^(MIN_EXP - MANT_DIG)
which is correct for FP_SUBNORMAL for all types.
Avoid crashing in LD_DEBUG when program name is unavailable
Resolves: #15465
The program name may be unavailable if the user application tampers
with argc and argv[]. Some parts of the dynamic linker caters for
this while others don't, so this patch consolidates the check and
fallback into a single macro and updates all users.

Correctly compute ulp near zero.
The current value used for ulp near zero is wrong,
and this commit fixes it such that ulp(0) is the smallest
subnormal value nearest to zero, which makes the most
sense for testing values near zero. Note that this is not
what Java does; they use the nearest normal value, which
is less accurate than what we want for glibc. Note that
there is no correct implementation of ulp since there
is no strict mathmatical definition that is accepted by
all groups using IEEE 754.
Previously with the large ulp values near zero there
were tests that previously passed, but were in fact
billions of ulp away from the precise answer. With this
commit we now need to disable one of the cpow tests which
is revealed to be inaccurate (bug 14473).

tile: improve detection for missing -mcmodel=large support
The existing test avoided passing -mcmodel=large if the compiler didn't
support it. However, we need to test not just the compiler support, but
also the toolchain (as and ld) support, so make the test more complete.
In addition, we have to avoid using the hwN_plt() assembly operators if
that support is missing, so guard the uses with #ifdef NO_PLT_PCREL.
This allows us to properly build glibc with the current community
binutils, which doesn't yet have the PC-relative PLT operator support.
The -mcmodel=large support is in gcc 4.8, but the toolchain support
won't be present in the community until binutils 2.24.
