The glibc internal NSS functions should always load NSS modules from
the system.  For testing purpose, disable DT_RUNPATH on NSS tests so
that the glibc internal NSS functions can load testing NSS modules
via DT_RPATH.

This partially fixes BZ #28455.

3b1402b3fc sysdeps: Simplify sin Taylor Series calculation
The macro TAYLOR_SIN adds the term `-0.5*da*a^2 + da` in hopes
of regaining some precision as a function of da. However the
comment says we add the term `-0.5*da*a^2 + 0.5*da` which is
different. This fix updates the comment to reflect the
code and also simplifies the calculation by replacing `a` with `x`
because they always have the same value.

104d2005d5 math: Remove the error handling wrapper from hypot and hypotf
The error handling is moved to sysdeps/ieee754 version with no SVID
support.  The compatibility symbol versions still use the wrapper with
SVID error handling around the new code.  There is no new symbol version
nor compatibility code on !LIBM_SVID_COMPAT targets (e.g. riscv).

Only ia64 is unchanged, since it still uses the arch specific
__libm_error_region on its implementation.

  - Handle required underflow exception for subnormal results.

The main advantage of the new algorithm is its precision.  With a

current implementation shows around 0.05% results with an error of

23645707f1 Replace --enable-static-pie with --disable-default-pie
Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie
automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it.

Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent
building programs as PIE.

Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default
because they do not work at the moment.  hppa, ia64, alpha and csky
don't work because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation
generated from PIE objects.  The microblaze compiler is currently
failing with an ICE.  GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does
not work and hence fails.  All these targets have default PIE disabled
at the moment and I have left it to the target maintainers to enable PIE
on their targets.

build-many-glibcs runs clean for all targets.  I also tested x86_64 on
Fedora and Ubuntu, to verify that the default build as well as
--disable-default-pie work as expected with both system toolchains.

627f5ede70 Remove TLS_TCB_ALIGN and TLS_INIT_TCB_ALIGN
TLS_INIT_TCB_ALIGN is not actually used.  TLS_TCB_ALIGN was likely
introduced to support a configuration where the thread pointer
has not the same alignment as THREAD_SELF.  Only ia64 seems to use
that, but for the stack/pointer guard, not for storing tcbhead_t.
Some ports use TLS_TCB_OFFSET and TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE to shift
the thread pointer, potentially landing in a different residue class
modulo the alignment, but the changes should not impact that.

In general, given that TLS variables have their own alignment
requirements, having different alignment for the (unshifted) thread
pointer and struct pthread would potentially result in dynamic
offsets, leading to more complexity.

hppa had different values before: __alignof__ (tcbhead_t), which
seems to be 4, and __alignof__ (struct pthread), which was 8
(old default) and is now 32.  However, it defines THREAD_SELF as:

/* Return the thread descriptor for the current thread.  */
# define THREAD_SELF \
  ({ struct pthread *__self;			\
	__self = __get_cr27();			\
	__self - 1;				\
   })

So the thread pointer points after struct pthread (hence __self - 1),
and they have to have the same alignment on hppa as well.

Similarly, on ia64, the definitions were different.  We have:

# define TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE \
  (sizeof (struct pthread)						\
   + (PTHREAD_STRUCT_END_PADDING < 2 * sizeof (uintptr_t)		\
      ? ((2 * sizeof (uintptr_t) + __alignof__ (struct pthread) - 1)	\
	 & ~(__alignof__ (struct pthread) - 1))				\
      : 0))
# define THREAD_SELF \
  ((struct pthread *) ((char *) __thread_self - TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE))

And TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE is a multiple of the struct pthread alignment
(confirmed by the new _Static_assert in sysdeps/ia64/libc-tls.c).

On m68k, we have a larger gap between tcbhead_t and struct pthread.
But as far as I can tell, the port is fine with that.  The definition
of TCB_OFFSET is sufficient to handle the shifted TCB scenario.

This fixes commit 23c77f6018
("nptl: Increase default TCB alignment to 32").

    string: Make tests birdirectional test-memcpy.c

Add tests that had src/dst non 4-byte aligned. Since src/dst are
initialized/compared as uint32_t type which is 4-byte aligned this can
break on some targets.

Fix the issue by specifying a new non-aligned 4-byte
`unaligned_uint32_t` for src/dst.

Another alternative is to rely on memcpy/memcmp for
initializing/testing src/dst. Using memcpy for initializing in memcpy
tests, however, could lead to future bugs.

When passed non-archive files, asserts are reported on the best case,
but sometimes it can lead to a segmentation fault:

  $ localedef --list-archive /bin/true

4df1fa6ddc x86-64: Use notl in EVEX strcmp [BZ #28646]
Must use notl %edi here as lower bits are for CHAR comparisons
potentially out of range thus can be 0 without indicating mismatch.
This fixes BZ #28646.

23c77f6018 nptl: Increase default TCB alignment to 32
rseq support will use a 32-byte aligned field in struct pthread,
so the whole struct needs to have at least that alignment.

nptl/tst-tls3mod.c uses TCB_ALIGNMENT, therefore include <descr.h>
to obtain the fallback definition.

b31bd11454 AArch64: Improve A64FX memcpy
v2 is a complete rewrite of the A64FX memcpy. Performance is improved
by streamlining the code, aligning all large copies and using a single
unrolled loop for all sizes. The code size for memcpy and memmove goes
down from 1796 bytes to 868 bytes. Performance is better in all cases:
bench-memcpy-random is 2.3% faster overall, bench-memcpy-large is ~33%
faster for large sizes, bench-memcpy-walk is 25% faster for small sizes
and 20% for the largest sizes. The geomean of all tests in bench-memcpy
is 5.1% faster, and total time is reduced by 4%.

b51eb35c57 AArch64: Optimize memcmp
Rewrite memcmp to improve performance. On small and medium inputs performance
is 10-20% better. Large inputs use a SIMD loop processing 64 bytes per
iteration, which is 30-50% faster depending on the size.
