Reported by prodisDown:
In picolibc/newlib/libc/string/strrchr.c
if (i) { while ((s=strchr(s, i))) { last = s; s++; } } else { last = strchr(s, i); }
Value (for example 0xFFFFFF00) in if (i) can pass test and
then be typecasted to char inside strchr(). Then s++ and then
buffer overrun.
It can be fixed by preventive typecast i = (int) (char) i; or
typecasting inside expression if ((char) i).
Fixed by casting to char.

So far the build mechanism in newlib only allowed to either define
machine-specific headers, or headers shared between all machines.
In some cases, architectures are sufficiently alike to share header
files between them, but not with other architectures. A good example
is ix86 vs. x86_64, which share certain traits with each other, but
not with other architectures.
Introduce a new configure variable called "shared_machine_dir". This
dir can then be used for headers shared between architectures.

This patch significantly improves performance of memmem using a novel
modified Horspool algorithm. Needles up to size 256 use a bad-character
table indexed by hashed pairs of characters to quickly skip past mismatches.
Long needles use a self-adapting filtering step to avoid comparing the whole
needle repeatedly.
By limiting the needle length to 256, the shift table only requires 8 bits
per entry, lowering preprocessing overhead and minimizing cache effects.
This limit also implies worst-case performance is linear.
Small needles up to size 2 use a dedicated linear search. Very long needles
use the Two-Way algorithm (to avoid increasing stack size inlining is now disabled).
The performance gain is 6.6 times on English text on AArch64 using random
needles with average size 8 (this is even faster than the recently improved strstr
algorithm, so I'll update that in the near future).
The size-optimized memmem has also been rewritten from scratch to get a
2.7x performance gain.
Tested against GLIBC testsuite and randomized tests.

v3: Add support for read ahead using strnlen, giving an additional 25% speedup
on large inputs (both short and long needles).
This patch significantly improves performance of strstr by using Sunday's
Quick-Search algorithm. Due to its simplicity it has the best average
performance of string matching algorithms on almost all inputs. It uses a
bad-character shift table to skip past mismatches.
The needle length is limited to 254 - this reduces the shift table memory
4 to 8 times, lowering preprocessing overhead and minimizing cache effects.
The limit also implies its worst-case performance is linear.
Larger needles are processed by the Two-Way algorithm. The macro AVAILABLE
has been improved to use strnlen to read the input in chunks. This results
in a 2.5 times speedup for large needles, reducing the performance drop when
the Quick-Search algorithm can't be used.
The code for 1-4 byte needles has been simplified and now uses unsigned
char. Since the optimized code relies on 8-bit chars, we defer to the
size-optimized implementation if CHAR_BIT > 8.
The performance gain of finding a set of randomly chosen words of size 8 in
256 bytes of English text is 14 times on AArch64. For longer haystacks the
gain is well over 20 times.
The size-optimized strstr has also been rewritten from scratch to improve
performance. On the same test the performance gain is 69%.
Tested against GLIBC testsuite, randomized tests and the GNULIB strstr test
(https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/tests/test-strstr.c).
--
Improve strstr performance for the common case of short needles. For a single
character strchr is best, for 2-4 characters a small loop is fastest. For these
the speedup over the Two-Way algorithm is ~10 times on large strings.
Newlib builds, the new code passes GLIBC testsuite. OK for commit?
This macro selects a compiler option that disables recognition of
common memset/memcpy patterns and converting those to direct
memset/memcpy calls.

Scripts do not try to acquire Unicode data by best-effort magic anymore.
Options supported:
-h for help
-i to copy Unicode data from /usr/share/unicode/ucd first
-u to download Unicode data from unicode.org first
If (despite of -i or -u if given) the necessary Unicode files are not
available locally, table generation is skipped, but no error code is
returned, so not to obstruct the build process if called from a Makefile.

A few files were missing headers for memset/malloc, likely missed
because the files don't directly call the functions, rather they
come in via macros in libc/include/sys/reent.h:
#define _REENT_CHECK(var, what, type, size, init) do { \
struct _reent *_r = (var); \
if (_r->what == NULL) { \
_r->what = (type)malloc(size); \
#define _REENT_CHECK_ASCTIME_BUF(var) \
_REENT_CHECK(var, _asctime_buf, char *, _REENT_ASCTIME_SIZE, \
memset((var)->_asctime_buf, 0, _REENT_ASCTIME_SIZE))

Including the proper headers elminates the implicit function
signatures and these warnings.
Now that __locale_cjk_lang is an inline function in setlocale.h and
setlocale.h is included, the declaration doesn't make sense.
