It was added on 5.2 (93766fbd2696c2c4453dd8e1070977e9cd4e6b6d) to
provide a way by which a filesystem opened with fsopen and configured
by a series of fsconfig calls can have a detached mount object
created for it.

This was added on Linux 5.1(3eb39f47934f9d5a3027fe00d906a45fe3a15fad)
as a way to avoid the race condition of using kill (where PID might be
reused by the kernel between between obtaining the pid and sending the
signal).
If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then pidfd_send_signal is equivalent
to kill. If it is not NULL pidfd_send_signal is equivalent to
rt_sigqueueinfo.

Linux 5.17 has one new syscall, set_mempolicy_home_node. Update
syscall-names.list and regenerate the arch-syscall.h headers with
build-many-glibcs.py update-syscalls.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
The posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np works on a file descriptor (the
controlling terminal), so it would make more sense to actually fit
it on the file actions API.
Also, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP is not really required since it is
implicit by the presence of tcsetpgrp file action.
The posix/tst-spawn6.c is also fixed when TTY can is not present.

Currently there is no proper way to set the controlling terminal through
posix_spawn in race free manner [1]. This forces shell implementations
to keep using fork+exec when launching background process groups,
even when using posix_spawn yields better performance.
This patch adds a new GNU extension so the creating process can
configure the created process terminal group. This is done with a new
flag, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP, along with two new attribute functions:
posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np, and posix_spawnattr_tcgetpgrp_np.
The function sets a new attribute, spawn-tcgroupfd, that references to
the controlling terminal.
The controlling terminal is set after the spawn-pgroup attribute, and
uses the spawn-tcgroupfd along with current creating process group
(so it is composable with POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP).
To create a process and set the controlling terminal, one can use the
following sequence:
posix_spawnattr_t attr;
posix_spawnattr_init (&attr);
posix_spawnattr_setflags (&attr, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP);
posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np (&attr, tcfd);
If the idea is also to create a new process groups:
posix_spawnattr_t attr;
posix_spawnattr_init (&attr);
posix_spawnattr_setflags (&attr, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP
| POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP);
posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np (&attr, tcfd);
posix_spawnattr_setpgroup (&attr, 0);
The controlling terminal file descriptor is ignored if the new flag is
not set.
This interface is slight different than the one provided by QNX [2],
which only provides the POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP flag. The QNX
documentation does not specify how the controlling terminal is obtained
nor how it iteracts with POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP. Since a glibc
implementation is library based, it is more straightforward and avoid
requires additional file descriptor operations to request the caller
to setup the controlling terminal file descriptor (and it also allows
a bit less error handling by posix_spawn).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

It is similar to epoll_wait, with the difference the timeout has
nanosecond resoluting by using struct timespec instead of int.
Although Linux interface only provides 64 bit time_t support, old
32 bit interface is also provided (so keep in sync with current
practice and to no force opt-in on 64 bit time_t).

Linux 5.16 has one new syscall, futex_waitv. Update
syscall-names.list and regenerate the arch-syscall.h headers with
build-many-glibcs.py update-syscalls.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
Here we define the minumum linux kernel version at 5.4.0, as that is the
long term support version where 32-bit architectures start to support
64-bit time API's. The OpenRISC kernel had some bugs up until version 5.8
which caused issues with glibc fork/clone, they have been backported to
5.4 but not previous versions.
