`man dup2` says that on Linux, dup2() can return `EBUSY` if the
operation needs to be retried (in addition to returning `EINTR` in other
cases where it needs to be retried).

All uses of fdwalk in gspawn are between fork and exec, which means only
async-signal safe functions can be called if the parent process has
multiple threads. Since fdwalk is not a standard API, we should not
assume it is safe to use unless the manual of the system explicitly says
it is async-signal safe.

"glib-2.0 G_CONST_RETURN causing GCC 'warning: const' on F31", where the GCC
diagnostic
> test.c:2:13: warning: const

had confused me, and "Deprecated pre-processor symbol, repace with const" is
probably a better warning message than just "const".
(That recent GCC only prints "Deprecated pre-processor symbol, repace with "
appears to be a bug in GCC that GLIB_UNAVAILABLE_MACRO already suffers from,
too. Recent Clang correctly prints "Deprecated pre-processor symbol, repace
with const".)

g_file_info_set_modification_time() and
g_file_info_set_modification_date_time() set the
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED_USEC attribute in addition to
G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TIME_MODIFIED, so microsecond precision is available
when provided by the caller, so mention both attributes in the docs.
It was possible to pass in (for example) an invalid year to
g_date_time_new_week(), which would be passed on to g_date_time_new(),
which would (correctly) return `NULL` — but then
g_date_time_get_week_number() would try to dereference that.
Includes a test case.

If the compiler doesn’t provide modern (C++11) atomic builtins (which is
now quite unlikely), we implement our own using the `__sync_synchronize()`
memory barrier. As Behdad and others have pointed out, though, the
implementation didn’t follow the same semantics as we use with the C++11
builtins — `__ATOMIC_SEQ_CST`.
Fix the use of memory barriers to provide `__ATOMIC_SEQ_CST` semantics.
In particular, this fixes the following common pattern:
```
GObject *obj = my_object_new ();
g_atomic_pointer_set (&shared_ptr, obj);
```
Previously this would have expanded to:
```
GObject *obj = my_object_new ();
*shared_ptr = obj;
__sync_synchronize ();
```
While the compiler would not have reordered the stores to `obj` and
`shared_ptr` within the code on one thread (due to the dependency
between them), the memory system might have made the write to
`shared_ptr` visible to other threads before the write to `obj` — if
they then dereferenced `shared_ptr` before seeing the write to `obj`,
that would be a bug.
Instead, the expansion is now:
```
GObject *obj = my_object_new ();
__sync_synchronize ();
*shared_ptr = obj;
```
This ensures that the write to `obj` is visible to all threads before
any write to `shared_ptr` is visible to any threads. For completeness,
`__sync_synchronize()` is augmented with a compiler barrier to ensure
that no loads/stores can be reordered locally before or after it.
Tested by disabling the C++11 atomic implementation and running:
```
meson test --repeat 1000 atomic atomic-test
```

`g_assert_*()` provide more useful failure messages, and aren’t compiled

When compiling GLib with `-Wsign-conversion`, we get various warnings
about the atomic calls. A lot of these were fixed by
3ad375a629, but some remain. Fix them by
adding appropriate casts at the call sites.
Note that `g_atomic_int_{and,or,xor}()` actually all operate on `guint`s
rather than `gint`s (which is what the rest of the `g_atomic_int_*()`
functions operate on). I can’t find any written reasoning for this, but
assume that it’s because signedness is irrelevant when you’re using an
integer as a bit field. It’s unfortunate that they’re named a
`g_atomic_int_*()` rather than `g_atomic_uint_*()` functions.
Tested by compiling GLib as:
```
CFLAGS=-Wsign-conversion jhbuild make -ac |& grep atomic
```
I’m not going to add `-Wsign-conversion` to the set of default warnings
for building GLib, because it mostly produces false positives throughout
the rest of GLib.

Fixes: #1565
Instead of calling close or fcntl on all possible file descriptors,
which is slow on systems with very high limit or even no limit on open
file descriptors, we can use closefrom or fcntl with F_CLOSEM to close
all unwanted file descriptors with a single system call.
This change only improves the performance when GSpawnChildSetupFunc is
NULL because there are applications known to abuse GSpawnChildSetupFunc
to unset FD_CLOEXEC on file descriptors. Since the change mentioned
above requires closing file descriptors directly, it cannot be used when
the caller may want to keep some of them open.
This patch was written by Sebastian Schwarz <seschwar@gmail.com> and
uploaded to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/merge_requests/574.
It was later modified by Ting-Wei Lan <lantw@src.gnome.org> to address
code review issues.

While the introspection scanner can glean the transfer rule for the
return values by looking at their constness, adding an explicit
annotation has the advantage of gtk-doc writing out the transfer rule as
an additional bit of documentation, making the life of the documentation
reader easier.
While the XML specification doesn’t prescribe a limit, no reasonable bit
of XML is going to have more than 1000 attributes in a single XML
element.
Adding a limit reduces the changes of a runaway allocation loop caused
by dodgy input.

The introductory doc text for the gmem APIs still warns against mixing
malloc/free with g_malloc/g_free. Clarify upfront in the docs that these
two sets of APIs are now guaranteed to use the same memory allocator &
can thus their usage can be freely mixed.
