new features:
- priority-inheritance mutexes
- membarrier syscall, pre-registration to use it, fallback emulation
- header-level support for new linux features in 4.19, 4.20, 5.0
major internal changes:
- complete, async-safe view of all existent threads as global list
- robust __synccall based on new thread list
- new dynamic TLS is installed synchronously at dlopen
- TLSDESC resolver functions no longer make bad ABI assumptions to call C
- resolved shared library dependencies are now recorded
compatibility & conformance:
- dependency-order shared library constructor execution
- sigaltstack no longer rejects SS_AUTODISARM, future flags
- FILE is now a complete (dummy) type in pre-C11 feature profiles
- setvbuf reports failure on invalid arguments
- TSVTX is exposed unconditionally in tar.h
- multithreaded set*id() no longer depends on /proc
- key slot reuse after pthread_key_delete no longer depends on /proc
bugs fixed:
- failures in multithreaded set*id() with concurrent thread creation/exit
- interposed free was called from invalid/inconsistent contexts
- freeaddrinfo performed invalid free of some partial results lists
- dlsym dependency order search had false negatives and false positives
- dn_skipname gave wrong results for labels with 8-bit content
- dcngettext clobbered errno, often breaking printing of error messages
- sscanf read past end of buffer under certain conditions (1.1.21 regression)
- pthread_key_create spuriously failed under race condition (1.1.21 regression)
- fdopendir wrongly succeeded with O_PATH file descriptors
- gets behaved incorrectly in presence of null bytes
- namespace violations in c11 tsd and mutex function dependencies
- incorrect prototype for makecontext (unimplemented)
arch-specfic bugs fixed:
- s390x had wrong values for POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED/_NOREUSE
Extensively tested on dozens of devices, covering most popular architectures.

This release introduces the ability to replace/interpose the allocator
(malloc) subject to certain restrictions, adds an experimental m68k
port, and makes notable improvements to stdio (application-provided
buffers), getaddrinfo (AI_ADDRCONFIG, support for IPv4-only kernel
configurations), the dynamic linker (safety against dlopen of
libraries using initial-exec TLS model, reclaiming unused memory on
FDPIC archs, better dladdr results), and handling of default thread
stack size (pthread_setattr_default_np now works more reliably).
Many bugs have been fixed, including potentially dangerous regressions
in iconv (only for new conversions to legacy encodings) and visibly
incorrect behavior in printf on non-x86 archs (%a format with
precision specifier), in getopt_long_only when short options are a
prefix for a long option, in complex arc-trig/hyperbolic functions, in
strftime and mktime (timezone-specific issues), and numerous
less-obvious places.

This updates musl from a commit between 1.1.18 and 1.1.19 to the final
release of the version 1.1.19.
This mostly fixes bugs in musl.
The size of the uncompressed binary is increased by about 4 KB.

This replaces the current patches used to make the kernel headers
compatible with musl with the version which was accepted upstream. This
is included in upstream kernel 4.15.
This was compile tested with iproute2 build on all supported kernel
versions with musl and one one with glibc.

This patch updates musl to 1.1.16+ [0] and removes all the
backported patches. This is a major release and tagged as such.
For more information visit musl-libc.org or read the WHATSNEW.
Furthermore, this patch also changes musl to download directly
from git. This makes it easier to update musl in the future.
The patch custom Add-format-attribute-to-some-function-declarations.patch
was assigned a new 400- number. This should avoid confusion
since 0xx numbers are usually assigned to backports.
