Clang issues a warning for double alias redirection, indicating that thei
original symbol is used even if a weak definition attempts to override it.
For instance, in the construction:
int __internal_impl (...) {}
weak_alias (__internal_impl, external_impl);
#if SOMETHING
weak_alias (external_impl, another_external_impl)
#endif
Clang warns that another_external_impl always resolves to __internal_impl,
even if external_impl is a weak reference. Using the internal symbol for
both aliases resolves this warning.
This issue also occurs with certain libc_hidden_def usage:
int __internal_impl (...) {}
weak_alias (__internal_impl, __internal_alias)
libc_hidden_weak (__internal_alias)
In this case, using a strong_alias is sufficient to avoid the warning
(since the alias is internal, there is no need to use a weak alias).
However, for the constructions like:
int __internal_impl (...) {}
weak_alias (__internal_impl, __internal_alias)
libc_hidden_def (__internal_alias)
weak_alias (__internal_impl, external_alias)
libc_hidden_def (external_alias)
Clang warns that the internal external_alias will always resolve to
__GI___internal_impl eve if a weak definition to __GI_internal_impl is
overriden. For this case, a new macro named static_weak_alias is used
to create a strong alias for SHARED, or a weak_alias otherwise.
With these changes, there is no need to check and enable the
-Wno-ignored-attributes suppression when using clang.
I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

Building with -Os produces linknamespace and localplt failures for,
among other functions, gnu_dev_major, gnu_dev_minor and
gnu_dev_makedev.
The issue is that those functions are not inlined when building with
-Os. While one could force them to be inlined in that case, it seems
more natural to fix this issue similarly to other namespace issues.
Thus, this patch makes gnu_dev_* into weak aliases for hidden symbols
__gnu_dev_*; __gnu_dev_* are then defined as inlines in the internal
include/sys/sysmacros.h, and uses of gnu_dev_* (often via the macros
major, minor and makedev) for which there are namespace issues are
changed to use __gnu_dev_*; where there are no namespace issues, use
of libc_hidden_proto serves to avoid unnecessary local PLT entry use.
Tested for x86_64, (a) without -Os, to verify the testsuite continues
to pass without problems and that the functions called under their new
names continue to be inlined as expected in that case; (b) with -Os,
to verify that the linknamespace and localplt failures in question go
away (but because of other such failures present, neither of the
relevant bugs can yet be closed).

Presently sys/sysmacros.h is entirely defined in sysdeps. This would
mean that the deprecation logic coming up in the next patch would have
to be written twice (in generic/ and unix/sysv/linux/). To avoid that,
hoist all but the unavoidably system-dependent logic to misc/, leaving a
bits/ header behind. This also promotes the Linux-specific encoding of
dev_t, which accommodates 32-bit major and minor numbers in a 64-bit dev_t,
to generic, as glibc's dev_t is always 64 bits wide.
The former Linux implementation used inline functions to avoid evaluating
arguments more than once. After this change, all platforms use inline
functions, which means that three new symbols are added to the generic ABI.
(These symbols are in the user namespace, which is how they have always
been on Linux. They begin with "gnu_dev_", so collisions with user code
are pretty unlikely.)
New ports henceforth need only provide a bits/sysmacros.h defining
internal macros __SYSMACROS_{DECLARE,DEFINE}_{MAJOR,MINOR,MAKEDEV}.
This is only necessary if the kernel encoding is incompatible with
the now-generic encoding (for instance, it would be necessary for
FreeBSD).
While I was at it, I added a basic round-trip test for these functions.
* sysdeps/generic/sys/sysmacros.h: Delete file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/makedev.c: Delete file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/sysmacros.h: Move file ...
* bits/sysmacros.h: ... here; this encoding is now the generic
encoding. Now defines only the following macros:
__SYSMACROS_DECLARE_MAJOR, __SYSMACROS_DEFINE_MAJOR,
__SYSMACROS_DECLARE_MINOR, __SYSMACROS_DEFINE_MINOR,
__SYSMACROS_DECLARE_MAKEDEV, __SYSMACROS_DEFINE_MAKEDEV.
