my_plvarsp nulling and PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT_PRIVATE
With PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT_PRIVATE, all "global" vars are in a malloc()d
structure pointed to by the static var my_plvarsp. At exit, this struct is
freed and my_plvarsp is set to NULL.
My previous commit
c1181d2b skipped the free if PL_veto_cleanup is set
(as it would be if other threads are still running for example), but
still left my_plvarsp getting set to NULL. Thus other threads could still
deref a null pointer if they accessed a "global" var just as the main
thread was exiting.
This commit makes the veto skip the NULLing in addition to the freeing.
This commit is quite late into the code freeze, but it's a follow-up to the
earlier attempt to get smokes not to fail, and all the affected code is
within #ifdef PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT_PRIVATE, so it shouldn't affect
mainstream builds at all. (Famous last words.)

ExtUtils::Install handle symbolic and hard links
[perl #72028]
When upgrading an already-installed file, ExtUtils::Install could mess up
the permissions of files if the old versions of files were hard or
symbolic links. For example, if the Foo module had been installed as
lib/Foo.pm and for some reason (perhaps due to OS packaging) that file was
hard-linked to other/Foo.pm or replaced with a symbolic link to
other/Foo.pm, then when trying to install a newer release of Foo, the
permissions of the other/Foo.pm file could end up messed up.
This was due to ExtUtils::Install changing the permissions of the old file
before unlinking it; if the file was a link, then the linked file would
get the chmod instead. Since on POSIXy platforms it is the directory
permissions, not the file permissions, that affect whether a file can be
unlinked, the chmod was redundant anyway. So on these platforms, skip the
chmod.
I've also added tests for symlinked and hard-linked files.

A test in op/threads.t roughly equivalent to this:

This is due to the fact that, under PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT, "global" vars

thread is still exeecuting at this point, and so may access those "global"
vars. ASan can detect that such a var is being accessed after being
freed; in this case due to PL_ppaddr being indexed in call_sv().
This is easily fixed using the PL_veto_cleanup mechanism; don't do those

However I think we should be more consistent here, e.g. we'll die when
utf8::upgrade() gets passed a reference, but utf8::downgrade() just
passes it through. I'll file a bug for that separately.

Fix comments and pod that mention 5.20 erroneously
In certain places in the documentation, "5.20" is no longer applicable.
Also, a message referred to in perldiag got reworded, but our checks did
not catch that perldiag should have been updated.

It makes little sense to say that \s matches \cK unconditionally in the
same sentence as saying it matches \cK conditionally (>= Perl 5.18).
I suppose the intention could have been to specify the full char class
in the documentation from 5.18 onwards while still noting when that
change happened (the introducing commit, d28d802, was only on 5.17+),
but the sentence structure and convention in the rest of the document
suggests otherwise.

PATCH: [perl #119499] "$!" with UTF-8 flag
This disables the code that sets the UTF-8 flag when "$!" is UTF-8.
This is being done to get v5.20 out the door, with changes to follow in
v5.21. See towards the end of the discussion of this ticket.
Unfortunately this change will cause #112208 to no longer be fixed.

PATCH: [perl 121317] Gconvert() obeys LC_NUMERIC without "use locale"
This reverts part of
bc8ec7cc020d0562094a551b280fd3f32bf5eb04.
leaving LC_NUMERIC set to the C locale at start-up. This allows the
tests for quite a few XS modules to pass, as they (and likely the
modules themselves) are expecting a dot as the decimal point character.
However,such modules remain vulnerable to explicit calls to setlocale()
by the Perl code or other modules,
See the ticket's discussion for ideas on how to fix this better in 5.21
going forward.
I did not add tests because this fix only affects XS code that is not in
the Perl API, and we don't have any infrastructure for testing that.
Building such infrastructure seems to me to be too much for the code
freeze situation we are in, and all this is planned to change very early
in v5.21 anyway.

fix killpg on Win32, to meet posix expectations for killpg
On Win32 Perls built without PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS, killpg from win32.c was
directly called by Perl_apply, yet killpg's return value had Win32
behavior, not POSIX behavior. Modify killpg token to have same meaning as
PerlProcKillpg/PerlProc_killpg has on PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS builds. Use a
macro rather than create a win32_killpg C function since win32_killpg would
be nothing but a call to win32_kill anyways. win32_kill contains the Win32
to POSIX semantics conversion code. Rename old killpg to my_killpg since
it has no use outside of win32.c. The psuedo-PID code in win32_kill also
played a factor in not writing a separate win32_killpg that calls
my_killpg. This fix is tested by kill0.t passing on
no-PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS builds.
