On s390 (31bit) various debug/tst-*chk* testcases are failing as the tests
are ending with a segmentation fault.
One test is e.g. calling wcsnrtombs in debug/tst-chk1.c:1549.
The function wcsnrtombs itself calls __wcsnlen. This function is called via
PLT! The PLT-stub itself loads the address from GOT (r12 is assumed to be
the GOT-pointer). In this case the loaded address is zero and the following
branch leads to the segmentation fault.
Due to the attribute_hidden in commit 44af8a32c3
"Mark internal wchar functions with attribute_hidden [BZ #18822]"
for e.g. the __wcsnlen function, r12 is not loaded with the GOT-pointer
in wcsnrtombs.
On s390x (64bit), this __wcsnlen call is also using the PLT-stub. But it is
not failing as the GOT-pointer is setup with larl-instruction by the PLT-stub
itself.
Note: On s390x/s390, __wcsnlen is an IFUNC symbol.
On x86_64, __wcsnlen is also an IFUNC symbol and is called via PLT, too.
Further IFUNC symbols on s390 which were marked as hidden by the mentioned
commit are: __wcscat, __wcsncpy, __wcpncpy, __wcschrnul.
This patch removes the attribute_hidden in wchar.h.
Then the compiler setups e.g. r12 on s390 in order to call __wcsnlen via PLT.
ChangeLog:
* include/wchar.h (__wcsnlen, __wcscat, __wcsncpy, __wcpncpy,
__wcschrnul): Remove attribute_hidden.
