A recent patch fixed gmondump to stop printing "0x0x" as an address
prefix. It turns out the Cygwin User's Guide and the gmondump and
ssp man pages (all from utils.xml) have examples of the same error.
- As mentioned in commit message of the commit b531d6b0, if multiple
writers including non-cygwin app exist, the non-cygwin app cannot
detect pipe closure on the read side when the pipe is created by
system account or the the pipe creator is running as service.
This is because query_hdl which is held in write side also is a
read end of the pipe, so the pipe is still alive for the non-cygwin
app even after the reader is closed.
To avoid this problem, this patch lets all processes in the same
process group close query_hdl using newly introduced internal signal
__SIGNONCYGCHLD when non-cygwin app is started.

This reverts commit 0390cc8572.
There's no indication what exact situation this patch was supposed to
solve, and local testing doesn't show any such problems. However, this
patch itself introduced a new problem, as outlined by

32 bit Cygwin still exports function calls to support old applications.
E. g., when switching from 16 to 32 bit uid/gid values, new function
like getuid32 have been added and the old getuid function still only
provides 16 bit values. Newly built applications using getuid are
actually calling getuid32.
However, this link magic isn't performed inside Cygwin itself, so if
newlib functions call getuid, they actually call the old getuid, not
the new getuid32. This leads to truncated uid/gid values.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-January/250453.html reports
how this leads to problems in posix_spawn.
Fix this temporarily. i686 support will go away soon in Cygwin and the
fix can be dropped.

get_posix_access() creates DEF_*_OBJ aclent_t entries from Windows ACEs
with INHERIT flags set, independent of the file type. These flags only
make sense on directory objects, but certain Windows functions don't
check the file type and allow INHERIT ACE flags even on non-directories.
As a fix, make sure to ignore the INHERIT flags on non-directory ACLs
and don't propagate the matching DEF_*_OBJ aclent_t entries to callers.

NtQueryInformationProcess(ProcessHandleInformation) can return
STATUS_SUCCESS with invalid handle data for certain processes
("minimal" processes on Windows 10). This can cause a crash when
there's an attempt to access that data. Fix that by setting
NumberOfHandles to zero before calling NtQueryInformationProcess.

- This patch fixes the bug that input is wrongly sent to io_handle_nat
rather than io_handle when neither read() nor select() is called
after the cygwin app is started from non-cygwin app. This happens
only if psuedo console is disabled.

reported a regression introduce by using a dynamically sized local
char array in favor of a statically sized array.
Fix this by reverting to a statically sized array, using a small
buffer on the stack for a reasonable number of requested digits, a
big mallocated buffer otherwise. This should work for small targets
as well, given that malloc is used in printf anyway right now.
This is *still* hopefully just a temporary measure, unless somebody
actually provides a new ldtoa.

The file attributes after creating a file are not necessarily
identical to the attributes we passed as argument to NtCreateFile.
This results in subsequent operations like fchmod or facl to
set the DOS file attributes to unexpected values.
The fix is to request file attributes from the OS after file creation
and cache those.

When running Cygwin's Bash in the Windows Terminal (see
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/ for details), Cygwin
is receiving keyboard input in the form of UTF-16 characters.
UTF-16 has that awkward challenge that it cannot map the full Unicode
range, and to make up for it, there are the ranges U+D800-U+DBFF and
U+DC00-U+DFFF which are illegal except when they come in a pair encoding
for Unicode characters beyond U+FFFF.
Cygwin does not handle such surrogate pairs correctly at the moment, as
can be seen e.g. when running Cygwin's Bash in the Windows Terminal and
then inserting an emoji (e.g. via Windows + <dot>, which opens an emoji
picker on recent Windows versions): Instead of showing an emoji, this
shows the infamous question mark in a black triangle, i.e. the invalid
Unicode character.
Let's special-case surrogate pairs in this scenario.

A recent change in binutils marks the .gnu_debuglink_overlay section
as debug section. When dllfixdbg calls objcopy -g, the section
is removed and the --add-gnu-debuglink option on the same command line
appends the section consequentially at the end of the sections.
This in turn breaks Windows Version info and, potentially, raising
the cygheap size at runtime.
Fix this by adding an explicit --keep-section=.gnu_debuglink_overlay
to the objcopy command line.

Cygwin always requests FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES permissions when trying to
change DAC information. This can lead to permission problems when
trying to chmod/chown files on Samba shares. Drop requesting
FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES on Samba shares and go with WRITE_DAC/WRITE_OWNER
only.

Per https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-developers/2021-October/012429.html,
we may encounter a crash when starting multiple threads during process
startup (here: fhandler_fifo::fixup_after_{fork,exec}) which in turn
allocate memory via malloc.
The problem is concurrent usage of malloc before the malloc muto has
been initialized.
To fix this issue, convert the muto to a SRWLOCK and make sure it is
statically initalized. Thus, malloc can be called as early as necessary
and malloc_init is only required to check for user space provided malloc.
Note that this requires to implement a __malloc_trylock macro to be
called from fork.

This patch unifies the layout of the clipboard descriptor cygcb_t for
32- and 64-bit Cygwin. It allows correct copy/paste between the two
environments without corruption of user's copied data and without access
violations due to interpreting that data as a size field.
The definitions of CYGWIN_NATIVE and cygcb_t are moved to a new include
file, sys/clipboard.h. The include file is used by fhandler_clipboard.cc
as well as getclip.c and putclip.c in the Cygwin cygutils package.
When copy/pasting between 32- and 64-bit Cygwin environments, both must
be running version 3.3.0 or later for successful operation.
Due to reports on the Cygwin mailing list[1][2], it was uncovered
that a NtOpenDirectoryObject/NtQueryDirectoryObject/NtClose sequence
with NtQueryDirectoryObject iterating over the directory entries,
one entry per invocation, is not running atomically. If new entries
are inserted into the queried directory, other entries may be moved
around and then accidentally show up twice while iterating.
Change (almost) all NtQueryDirectoryObject invocations so that it gets
a really big buffer (64K) and ideally fetches all entries at once.
This appears to work atomically.
"Almost" all, because fhandler_procsys::readdir can't be easily changed.

These are updates to wire into the build tree the new tools profiler and
gmondump, and to supply documentation for the tools.
The documentation for profiler and ssp now mention each other but do not
discuss their similarities or differences. That will be handled in a
future update to the "Profiling Cygwin Programs" section of the Cygwin
User's Guide, to be supplied.
The Linux man page for cfsetspeed(3) specifies that the speed argument
must be one of the constants Bnnn (e.g., B9600) defined in termios.h.
But Linux in fact allows the speed to be the numerical baud rate
(e.g., 9600). For consistency with Linux, we now do the same.
