SHT_RISCV_ATTRIBUTES, PT_RISCV_ATTRIBUTES, DT_RISCV_VARIANT_CC were
added in commit 0b6c6750732483b4d59c2fcb45484079cd84157d
("Update RISC-V specific ELF definitions"). This caused the
elf/tst-glibcelf consistency check to fail.
The Linux version used by i686 and m68k provide three overrrides for
generic code:
1. DISTINGUISH_LIB_VERSIONS to print additional information when
libc5 is used by a dependency.
2. EXTRA_LD_ENVVARS to that enabled LD_LIBRARY_VERSION environment
variable.
3. EXTRA_UNSECURE_ENVVARS to add two environment variables related
to aout support.
None are really requires, it has some decades since libc5 or aout
suppported was removed and Linux even remove support for aout files.
The LD_LIBRARY_VERSION is also dead code, dl_correct_cache_id is not
used anywhere.
The kernel version check is used to avoid glibc to run on older
kernels where some syscall are not available and fallback code are
not enabled to handle graciously fail. However, it does not prevent
if the kernel does not correctly advertise its version through
vDSO note, uname or procfs.
Also kernel version checks are sometime not desirable by users,
where they want to deploy on different system with different kernel
version knowing the minimum set of syscall is always presented on
such systems.
The kernel version check has been removed along with the
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable. The minimum kernel used to
built glibc is still provided through NT_GNU_ABI_TAG ELF note and
also printed when libc.so is issued.
linux: Use /sys/devices/system/cpu on __get_nprocs_conf (BZ#28991)
Currently on Linux __get_nprocs_conf first tries to enumerate the
cpus present in the system by iterating on /sys/devices/system/cpuX
directories. This only enumerates the CPUs that are present in
system (but possibly offline), not taking in account possible CPU
that might added in the system through hotplugging.
Linux provides the maximum number of configured cpus on the
/sys/devices/system/cpu file. Although it might present a larger
value of possible active CPUs on some system (where kernel either
get the information from firmaware or is configured at boot time),
the information is what kernel presents to userland.
This also change the returned value of _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF, which
aligns as the maximum configure cpu in the system.
