+Subject: [PATCH] Add support for GCC 9 attribute copy.
+
+GCC 9 has gained an enhancement to help detect attribute mismatches
+between alias declarations and their targets.  It consists of a new
+warning, -Wattribute-alias, an enhancement to an existing warning,
+-Wmissing-attributes, and a new attribute called copy.
+
+The purpose of the warnings is to help identify either possible bugs
+(an alias declared with more restrictive attributes than its target
+promises) or optimization or diagnostic opportunities (an alias target
+missing some attributes that it could be declared with that might
+benefit analysis and code generation).  The purpose of the new
+attribute is to easily apply (almost) the same set of attributes
+to one declaration as those already present on another.
+
+As expected (and intended) the enhancement triggers warnings for
+many alias declarations in Glibc code.  This change, tested on
+x86_64-linux, avoids all instances of the new warnings by making
+use of the attribute where appropriate.  To fully benefit from
+the enhancement Glibc will need to be compiled with
+ -Wattribute-alias=2 and remaining warnings reviewed and dealt with
+(there are a couple of thousand but most should be straightforward
+to deal with).
+
+ChangeLog:
+
+	* include/libc-symbols.h (__attribute_copy__): Define macro unless
+	it's already defined.
+	(_strong_alias): Use __attribute_copy__.
+	(_weak_alias,  __hidden_ver1,  __hidden_nolink2): Same.
+	* misc/sys/cdefs.h (__attribute_copy__): New macro.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memchr.c (memchr): Use __attribute_copy__.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcmp.c (memcmp): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy.c (mempcpy): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset.c (memset): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/stpcpy.c (stpcpy): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcat.c (strcat): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strchr.c (strchr): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcmp.c (strcmp): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcpy.c (strcpy): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcspn.c (strcspn): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen.c (strlen): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strncmp.c (strncmp): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strncpy.c (strncpy): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strnlen.c (strnlen): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strpbrk.c (strpbrk): Same.
+	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strrchr.c (strrchr): Same.

+    - Backport from upstream [1] to fix build issue with glibc arc-2018.09-release
+      (based on glibc 2.28) and gcc 9.1 [2]
+    - Also drop the x86-64 related hunks to avoid confusion.
