It was raised on libc-help [1] that some Linux kernel interfaces expect
the libc to define __USE_TIME_BITS64 to indicate the time_t size for the
kABI.  Different than defined by the initial y2038 design document [2],
the __USE_TIME_BITS64 is only defined for ABIs that support more than
one time_t size (by defining the _TIME_BITS for each module).

The 64 bit time_t redirects are now enabled using a different internal
define (__USE_TIME64_REDIRECTS). There is no expected change in semantic
or code generation.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu, and
arm-linux-gnueabi

<title>Don't add access size hints to fortifiable functions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e938c02748402c50f60ba0eb983273e7b52937d1</id>
<content type='text'>
In the context of a function definition, the size hints imply that the
size of an object pointed to by one parameter is another parameter.
This doesn't make sense for the fortified versions of the functions
since that's the bit it's trying to validate.

This is harmless with __builtin_object_size since it has fairly simple
semantics when it comes to objects passed as function parameters.
With __builtin_dynamic_object_size we could (as my patchset for gcc[1]
already does) use the access attribute to determine the object size in
the general case but it misleads the fortified functions.

Basically the problem occurs when access attributes are present on
regular functions that have inline fortified definitions to generate
_chk variants; the attributes get inherited by these definitions,
causing problems when analyzing them.  For example with poll(fds, nfds,
timeout), nfds is hinted using the __attr_access as being the size of
fds.

Now, when analyzing the inline function definition in bits/poll2.h, the
compiler sees that nfds is the size of fds and tries to use that
information in the function body.  In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 case, where the
object size could be a non-constant expression, this information results
in the conclusion that nfds is the size of fds, which defeats the
purpose of the implementation because we're trying to check here if nfds
does indeed represent the size of fds.  Hence for this case, it is best
to not have the access attribute.

With the attributes gone, the expression evaluation should get delayed
until the function is actually inlined into its destinations.

Disable the access attribute for fortified function inline functions
when building at _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 to make this work better.  The
access attributes remain for the _chk variants since they can be used
by the compiler to warn when the caller is passing invalid arguments.

<title>y2038: Add support for 64-bit time on legacy ABIs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:47f24c21ee38701ae275aa9e451f70fa3e77478c</id>
<content type='text'>
A new build flag, _TIME_BITS, enables the usage of the newer 64-bit
time symbols for legacy ABI (where 32-bit time_t is default).  The 64
bit time support is only enabled if LFS (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) is
also used.

Different than LFS support, the y2038 symbols are added only for the
required ABIs (armhf, csky, hppa, i386, m68k, microblaze, mips32,
mips64-n32, nios2, powerpc32, sparc32, s390-32, and sh).  The ABIs with
64-bit time support are unchanged, both for symbol and types
redirection.

On Linux the full 64-bit time support requires a minimum of kernel
version v5.1.  Otherwise, the 32-bit fallbacks are used and might
results in error with overflow return code (EOVERFLOW).

The i686-gnu does not yet support 64-bit time.

This patch exports following rediretions to support 64-bit time:

<title>Annotate additional APIs with GCC attribute access.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:26492c0a14966c32c43cd6ca1d0dca5e62c6cfef</id>
<content type='text'>
This change continues the improvements to compile-time out of bounds
checking by decorating more APIs with either attribute access, or by
explicitly providing the array bound in APIs such as tmpnam() that
expect arrays of some minimum size as arguments.  (The latter feature
is new in GCC 11.)

The only effects of the attribute and/or the array bound is to check
and diagnose calls to the functions that fail to provide a sufficient
number of elements, and the definitions of the functions that access
elements outside the specified bounds.  (There is no interplay with
_FORTIFY_SOURCE here yet.)

Tested with GCC 7 through 11 on x86_64-linux.
