Since Windows Vista, locale handling is converted from using numeric
locale identifiers (LCID) to using ISO5646 locale strings. In the
meantime Windows introduced new locales which don't even have a LCID
attached. Those were unusable in Cygwin because locale information
for these locales required to call the new locale functions taking
a locale string.
Convert Cygwin to drop LCIDs and use Windows ISO5646 locales instead.
The last place using LCIDs is the __set_charset_from_locale function.
Checking numerically is easier and uslay faster than checking strings.
However, this function is clearly a TODO
Used on Linux as default codeset for Tajik. There's no matching
Windows codepage, so fake it as CP103.

This patch is for the sake of gnulib.
gnulib implements some form of a thread-safe setlocale variant
called setlocale_null_r, which is supposed to return the locale
strings in a thread-safe manner. This only succeeds if the system's
setlocale already handles this thread-safe, otherwise gnulib adds
some locking on its own.
Newlib's setlocale always writes the global string array holding the
LC_ALL value anew on each invocation of setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL).
Since that doesn't allow to call setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL) in a
thread-safe manner, so locking in gnulib is required.
And here's the problem...
The lock is decorated as dllexport when building for Cygwin. This
collides with the default behaviour of ld to export all symbols.
If it finds one decorated symbol, it will only export this symbol
to the DLL import lib.
Change setlocale so that it writes the global string array
holding the LC_ALL value at the time the locale gets changed.
On setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL), just return the pointer to the
global LC_ALL string array, just as in GLibc. The burden of
doing so is negligibly for all targets, but adds thread-safety
for gnulib's setlocal_null_r() function, and gnulib can drop
the lock entirely when building for Cygwin.

When compiling Newlib for arm targets with GCC 12.1 onward, the
passing of architecture extension information to the assembler is
automatic, making the use of .fpu and .arch_extension directives
in assembly files redundant.
With older versions of GCC, however, these directives must be
hard-coded into the `arm/setjmp.S' file to allow the assembly of
instructions concerning the storage and subsequent reloading of the
floating point registers to/from the jump buffer, respectively.
This patch conditionally adds the `.fpu vfpxd' and `.arch_extension
mve' directives based on compile-time preprocessor macros concerning
GCC version and target architectural features, such that both the
assembly and linking of setjmp.S succeeds for older versions of
Newlib.
We don't have floating-point exception or non-default rounding mode
support for the RISC-V soft-float environment, `feraiseexcept' and
`fesetround' do nothing unless the `__riscv_flen' macro has been set.
Therefore following ISO C language requirements[1] only define macros
for soft float that correspond to actually supported floating-point
environment features, removing failures from GCC testing such as:
FAIL: gcc.dg/torture/fp-int-convert-timode-3.c -O0 execution test
FAIL: gcc.dg/torture/fp-int-convert-timode-4.c -O0 execution test

GCC patch "nvptx: Support global constructors/destructors via 'collect2'"

This patch enables PACBTI for all relevant variants of strcmp:

* Newlib for armv8.1-m.main+pacbti+mve
* Newlib-nano
Augment the arm_asm.h header file to simplify function prologues and
epilogues whilst adding support for PACBTI enablement via macros for
hand-written assembly functions. For PACBTI, both prologues/epilogues
as well as cfi-related directives are automatically amended
accordingly, depending on the compile-time mbranch-protection argument
values.
It defines the following preprocessor macros:
* HAVE_PAC_LEAF: Indicates whether pac-signing has been requested for
leaf functions.
* PAC_LEAF_PUSH_IP: Whether leaf functions should push the pac code
to the stack irrespective of whether the ip register is clobbered in
the function or not.
* STACK_ALIGN_ENFORCE: Whether a dummy register should be added to
the push list as necessary in the prologue to ensure stack
alignment preservation at the start of assembly function. The
epilogue behavior is likewise affected by this flag, ensuring any
pushed dummy registers also get popped on function return.
It also defines the following assembler macros:
* prologue: In addition to pushing any callee-saved registers onto
the stack, it generates any requested pacbti instructions.
Pushed registers are specified via the optional `first', `last',
`push_ip' and `push_lr' macro argument parameters.
when a single register number is provided, it pushes that
register. When two register numbers are provided, they specify a
rage to save. If push_ip and/or push_lr are non-zero, the
respective registers are also saved. Stack alignment is requested
via the `align` argument, which defaults to the value of
STACK_ALIGN_ENFORCE, unless manually overridden.
For example:
prologue push_ip=1 -> push {ip}
prologue push_ip=1, align8=1 -> push {r2, ip}
prologue push_ip=1, push_lr=1 -> push {ip, lr}
prologue 1 -> push {r1}
prologue 1, align8=1 -> push {r0, r1}
prologue 1 push_ip=1 -> push {r1, ip}
prologue 1 4 -> push {r1-r4}
prologue 1 4 push_ip=1 -> push {r1-r4, ip}
* epilogue: pops registers off the stack and emits pac key signing
instruction, if requested. The `first', `last', `push_ip',
`push_lr' and `align' function as per the prologue macro,
generating pop instead of push instructions.
Stack alignment is enforced via the following helper macro
call-chain:
{prologue|epilogue} ->_align8 -> _preprocess_reglist ->
_preprocess_reglist1 -> {_prologue|_epilogue}
Finally, the necessary cfi directives for adding debug information
to prologue and epilogue are generated via the following macros:
* cfisavelist - prologue macro helper function, generating
necessary .cfi_offset directives associated with push instruction.
Therefore, the net effect of calling `prologue 1 2 push_ip=1' is
to generate the following:
push {r1-r2, ip}
.cfi_adjust_cfa_offset 12
.cfi_offset 143, -4
.cfi_offset 2, -8
.cfi_offset 1, -12
* cfirestorelist - epilogue macro helper function, emitting
.cfi_restore instructions prior to resetting the cfa offset. As
such, calling `epilogue 1 2 push_ip=1' will produce:
pop {r1-r2, ip}
.cfi_register 143, 12
.cfi_restore 2
.cfi_restore 1
.cfi_def_cfa_offset 0
... so that all of 'exit', '_exit', '_Exit' work. 'exit' thus becomes the
standard 'newlib/libc/stdlib/exit.c' -- and functions registered via 'atexit'
are now called at return from 'main' or manual 'exit' invocation.
It seems there is a swapped logic in one of the subcases of
setjmp.S for MIPS: when the FPU registers are 64-bit within
a 32-bit aligned jmp_buf, the code realigns the pointers
before doing 64-bit writes, but the branch logic is swapped:
we must avoid the address adjustement when bit 2 is zero
(that is, the address is already 8-byte aligned).
This always triggers an address error when run, as tested
on a MIPS VR4300 with O64 ABI.
The implementation of expf() explains how approximation in the range [0 - 0.34] is done. The comment describes the "Reme" algorithm for constructing the polynomial.

As per the arm Procedure Call Standard for the Arm Architecture

registers, with the jump buffer size too small to store the required
co-processor registers.
In accordance with the C Library ABI for the Arm Architecture
section 6.11 [2], this patch sets _JBTYPE to long long adjusting
_JBLEN to 20.
It also emits vfp load/store instructions depending on architectural
support, predicated at compile time on ACLE feature-test macros.

To avoid backward compatibility problems, make sure to define FILE
as the real __sFILE64, and make sure that __sFILE is not defined at
all on Cygwin.

Cygwin's default locale is "C.UTF-8" as far as LC_CTYPE settings
are concerned. However, while __global_locale contains fixed
mbtowc and wctomb pointers, the lc_ctype_T pointer is still pointing
to _C_ctype_locale, representing the standard "C" locale.
The problem with this is that the codeset name as well as MB_CUR_MAX
is wrong.
Fix this by introducing a new lc_ctype_T structure called
_C_utf8_ctype_locale, setting the default codeset to "UTF-8" and
MB_CUR_MAX to 6. Use this as lc_ctype_T pointer in __global_locale
by default on Cygwin.

When using nano malloc and the remaning heap space is not big enough to
fullfill the allocation, malloc will attempt to merge the last chunk in
the free list with a new allocation in order to create a bigger chunk.
This is successful, but the chunk still remains in the free_list, so
any later call to malloc can give out the same region without it first
being freed.
Possible sequence to verify:
void *p1 = malloc(3000);

By default, Newlib uses a huge object of type struct _reent to store
thread-specific data. This object is returned by __getreent() if the
__DYNAMIC_REENT__ Newlib configuration option is defined.
The reentrancy structure contains for example errno and the standard input,
output, and error file streams. This means that if an application only uses
errno it has a dependency on the file stream support even if it does not use
it. This is an issue for lower end targets and applications which need to
qualify the software according to safety standards (for example ECSS-E-ST-40C,
ECSS-Q-ST-80C, IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO-178, DO-330, DO-333).
If the new _REENT_THREAD_LOCAL configuration option is enabled, then struct
_reent is replaced by dedicated thread-local objects for each struct _reent

In a follow up patch, struct _reent is optionally replaced by dedicated
thread-local objects. In this case,_REENT is optionally defined to NULL. Add

of struct reent. This will help to replace the struct member with
a thread-local storage object in a follow up patch.
Add a _REENT_STDERR() macro to encapsulate access to the _stderr
member of struct reent. This will help to replace the struct
member with a thread-local storage object in a follow up patch.
Add a _REENT_STDOUT() macro to encapsulate access to the _stdout
member of struct reent. This will help to replace the struct
member with a thread-local storage object in a follow up patch.

Provide sticky ARP flag for network interface which marks it as the
"sticky" one similarly to what we have for bridges. Once interface is
marked sticky, any address resolved using the ARP will be saved as a
static one in the ARP table. Such functionality may be used to prevent
ARP spoofing or to decrease latencies in Ethernet networks.
The drawbacks include potential limitations in usage of ARP-based
load-balancers and high-availability solutions such as carp(4).
The implemented option is disabled by default, therefore should not

TCP per RFC793 has 4 reserved flag bits for future use. One
of those bits may be used for Accurate ECN.
This patch is to include these bits in the LRO code to ease
the extensibility if/when these bits are used.

Hide historical Class A/B/C macros unless IN_HISTORICAL_NETS is defined;
define it for user level. Define IN_MULTICAST separately from IN_CLASSD,
and use it in pf instead of IN_CLASSD. Stop using class for setting
default masks when not specified; instead, define new default mask
(24 bits). Warn when an Internet address is set without a mask.

TCP stack sysctl nodes are currently inserted using the stack
name alias. Allow the user to get the current stack's alias to
allow for programatic sysctl access.

TCP Hystart draft version -03:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-hystartplusplus
Is a new version of hystart that allows one to carefully exit slow start if the RTT
spikes too much. The newer version has a slower-slow-start so to speak that then
kicks in for five round trips. To see if you exited too early, if not into congestion avoidance.
This commit will add that feature to our newreno CC and add the needed bits in rack to
be able to enable it.

The rack stack, with respect to the rack bits in it, was originally built based
on an early I-D of rack. In fact at that time the TLP bits were in a separate
I-D. The dynamic reordering window based on DSACK events was not present
in rack at that time. It is now part of the RFC and we need to update our stack
to include these features. However we want to have a way to control the feature
so that we can, if the admin decides, make it stay the same way system wide as
well as via socket option. The new sysctl and socket option has the following
meaning for setting:
00 (0) - Keep the old way, i.e. reordering window is 1 and do not use DSACK bytes to add to reorder window
01 (1) - Change the Reordering window to 1/4 of an RTT but do not use DSACK bytes to add to reorder window
10 (2) - Keep the reordering window as 1, but do use SACK bytes to add additional 1/4 RTT delay to the reorder window
11 (3) - reordering window is 1/4 of an RTT and add additional DSACK bytes to increase the reordering window (RFC behavior)
The default currently in the sysctl is 3 so we get standards based behavior.
