@appendix Installing @theglibc{}
Before you do anything else, you should read the FAQ at
@url{https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/FAQ}. It answers common
questions and describes problems you may experience with compilation
and installation.
You will need recent versions of several GNU tools: definitely GCC and
GNU Make, and possibly others. @xref{Tools for Compilation}, below.

Update. 1998-11-09 18:16 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com> * math/complex.h: Include bits/mathdef.h to get __NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH is needed. Don't define long double functions if __NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH is defined. Don't define `complex' but instead `_Complex'. The later is the reserved keyword. * math/bits/cmathcalls.c: Define _Mdouble_complex_ using _Complex, not complex. 1998-11-07 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de> * manual/libc.texinfo: Remove colon from category name. * manual/Makefile (dir-add.info): Likewise. 1998-11-07 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de> * configure.in: Avoid autoconf bug. 1998-10-28 H.J. Lu <hjl@gnu.org> * posix/getopt.h: Add "__" to arguments in prototypes. 1998-11-05 H.J. Lu <hjl@gnu.org> * libio/iofgets.c (_IO_fgets): Don't report error if something was read in and errno is set to EAGAIN. * libio/iofgets_u.c (fgets_unlocked): Likewise. 1998-11-05 Philip Blundell <philb@gnu.org> * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/net/if_packet.h: Don't include kernel header; it defines too much. Provide a local definition of struct sockaddr_pkt and a comment advising against its use. 1998-11-06 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de> * extra-lib.mk: Avoid empty include list. 1998-11-04 Andreas Schwab <schwab@issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de> * extra-lib.mk: Add support for $(lib)-shared-only-routines. * elf/Makefile (libdl-routines): Add dlopenold only if doing versioning. (libdl-shared-only-routines): New variable. 1998-11-06 Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> Don't invoke localtime_r or gmtime_r unless it's the GNU C library's localtime_r and gmtime_r; there are too many buggy implementations of localtime_r and gmtime_r out there, and it's not worth keeping track of all the different bugs. * time/mktime.c (__EXTENSIONS__): Remove. (<unistd.h>): No need to include. Remove. (my_mktime_localtime_r): Renamed from localtime_r; all uses changed. Base it on localtime unless _LIBC. * time/strftime.c (my_strftime_gmtime_r): Renamed from gmtime_r; all uses changed. (my_strftime_localtime_r): Renamed from localtime_r; all uses changed. Base them on localtime/gmtime if not _LIBC.

@cindex configuring
@cindex compiling
@Theglibc{} cannot be compiled in the source directory. You must build
it in a separate build directory. For example, if you have unpacked
the @glibcadj{} sources in @file{/src/gnu/glibc-@var{version}},
create a directory
@file{/src/gnu/glibc-build} to put the object files in. This allows
removing the whole build directory in case an error occurs, which is
the safest way to get a fresh start and should always be done.
From your object directory, run the shell script @file{configure} located
at the top level of the source tree. In the scenario above, you'd type
@smallexample
$ ../glibc-@var{version}/configure @var{args@dots{}}
@end smallexample
Please note that even though you're building in a separate build
directory, the compilation may need to create or modify files and
directories in the source directory.
@noindent
@code{configure} takes many options, but the only one that is usually
mandatory is @samp{--prefix}. This option tells @code{configure}
where you want @theglibc{} installed. This defaults to @file{/usr/local},
but the normal setting to install as the standard system library is
@samp{--prefix=/usr} for @gnulinuxsystems{} and @samp{--prefix=} (an
empty prefix) for @gnuhurdsystems{}.
It may also be useful to pass @samp{CC=@var{compiler}} and
@code{CFLAGS=@var{flags}} arguments to @code{configure}. @code{CC}
selects the C compiler that will be used, and @code{CFLAGS} sets
optimization options for the compiler. Any compiler options required
for all compilations, such as options selecting an ABI or a processor
for which to generate code, should be included in @code{CC}. Options
that may be overridden by the @glibcadj{} build system for particular
files, such as for optimization and debugging, should go in
@code{CFLAGS}. The default value of @code{CFLAGS} is @samp{-g -O2},
and @theglibc{} cannot be compiled without optimization, so if
@code{CFLAGS} is specified it must enable optimization. For example:
@smallexample
$ ../glibc-@var{version}/configure CC="gcc -m32" CFLAGS="-O3"
@end smallexample
The following list describes all of the available options for
@code{configure}:
@table @samp
@item --prefix=@var{directory}
Install machine-independent data files in subdirectories of
@file{@var{directory}}. The default is to install in @file{/usr/local}.
@item --exec-prefix=@var{directory}
Install the library and other machine-dependent files in subdirectories
of @file{@var{directory}}. The default is to the @samp{--prefix}
directory if that option is specified, or @file{/usr/local} otherwise.
@item --with-headers=@var{directory}
Look for kernel header files in @var{directory}, not
@file{/usr/include}. @Theglibc{} needs information from the kernel's header
files describing the interface to the kernel. @Theglibc{} will normally
look in @file{/usr/include} for them,
but if you specify this option, it will look in @var{DIRECTORY} instead.
This option is primarily of use on a system where the headers in
@file{/usr/include} come from an older version of @theglibc{}. Conflicts can
occasionally happen in this case. You can also use this option if you want to
compile @theglibc{} with a newer set of kernel headers than the ones found in
@file{/usr/include}.
@item --enable-kernel=@var{version}
This option is currently only useful on @gnulinuxsystems{}. The
@var{version} parameter should have the form X.Y.Z and describes the
smallest version of the Linux kernel the generated library is expected
to support. The higher the @var{version} number is, the less
compatibility code is added, and the faster the code gets.
@item --with-binutils=@var{directory}
Use the binutils (assembler and linker) in @file{@var{directory}}, not
the ones the C compiler would default to. You can use this option if
the default binutils on your system cannot deal with all the constructs
in @theglibc{}. In that case, @code{configure} will detect the
problem and suppress these constructs, so that the library will still be
usable, but functionality may be lost---for example, you can't build a
shared libc with old binutils.
@item --with-nonshared-cflags=@var{cflags}
Use additional compiler flags @var{cflags} to build the parts of the
library which are always statically linked into applications and
libraries even with shared linking (that is, the object files contained
in @file{lib*_nonshared.a} libraries). The build process will
automatically use the appropriate flags, but this option can be used to
set additional flags required for building applications and libraries,
to match local policy. For example, if such a policy requires that all
code linked into applications must be built with source fortification,
@samp{--with-nonshared-cflags=-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2} will make sure
that the objects in @file{libc_nonshared.a} are compiled with this flag
(although this will not affect the generated code in this particular
case and potentially change debugging information and metadata only).
@c disable static doesn't work currently
@c @item --disable-static
@c Don't build static libraries. Static libraries aren't that useful these
@c days, but we recommend you build them in case you need them.
@item --disable-shared
Don't build shared libraries even if it is possible. Not all systems
support shared libraries; you need ELF support and (currently) the GNU
linker.
Add --enable-static-pie configure option to build static PIE [BZ #19574] Static PIE extends address space layout randomization to static executables. It provides additional security hardening benefits at the cost of some memory and performance. Dynamic linker, ld.so, is a standalone program which can be loaded at any address. This patch adds a configure option, --enable-static-pie, to embed the part of ld.so in static executable to create static position independent executable (static PIE). A static PIE is similar to static executable, but can be loaded at any address without help from a dynamic linker. When --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc, libc.a is built as PIE and all static executables, including tests, are built as static PIE. The resulting libc.a can be used together with GCC 8 or above to build static PIE with the compiler option, -static-pie. But GCC 8 isn't required to build glibc with --enable-static-pie. Only GCC with PIE support is needed. When an older GCC is used to build glibc with --enable-static-pie, proper input files are passed to linker to create static executables as static PIE, together with "-z text" to prevent dynamic relocations in read-only segments, which are not allowed in static PIE. The following changes are made for static PIE: 1. Add a new function, _dl_relocate_static_pie, to: a. Get the run-time load address. b. Read the dynamic section. c. Perform dynamic relocations. Dynamic linker also performs these steps. But static PIE doesn't load any shared objects. 2. Call _dl_relocate_static_pie at entrance of LIBC_START_MAIN in libc.a. crt1.o, which is used to create dynamic and non-PIE static executables, is updated to include a dummy _dl_relocate_static_pie. rcrt1.o is added to create static PIE, which will link in the real _dl_relocate_static_pie. grcrt1.o is also added to create static PIE with -pg. GCC 8 has been updated to support rcrt1.o and grcrt1.o for static PIE. Static PIE can work on all architectures which support PIE, provided: 1. Target must support accessing of local functions without dynamic relocations, which is needed in start.S to call __libc_start_main with function addresses of __libc_csu_init, __libc_csu_fini and main. All functions in static PIE are local functions. If PIE start.S can't reach main () defined in a shared object, the code sequence: pass address of local_main to __libc_start_main ... local_main: tail call to main via PLT can be used. 2. start.S is updated to check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path and avoid dynamic relocation, when PIC is defined and SHARED isn't defined, to support static PIE. 3. All assembly codes are updated check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path to avoid dynamic relocations in read-only sections. 4. All assembly codes are updated check SHARED instead PIC for static symbol name. 5. elf_machine_load_address in dl-machine.h are updated to support static PIE. 6. __brk works without TLS nor dynamic relocations in read-only section so that it can be used by __libc_setup_tls to initializes TLS in static PIE. NB: When glibc is built with GCC defaulted to PIE, libc.a is compiled with -fPIE, regardless if --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc. When glibc is configured with --enable-static-pie, libc.a is compiled with -fPIE, regardless whether GCC defaults to PIE or not. The same libc.a can be used to build both static executable and static PIE. There is no need for separate PIE copy of libc.a. On x86-64, the normal static sln: text data bss dec hex filename 625425 8284 5456 639165 9c0bd elf/sln the static PIE sln: text data bss dec hex filename 657626 20636 5392 683654 a6e86 elf/sln The code size is increased by 5% and the binary size is increased by 7%. Linker requirements to build glibc with --enable-static-pie: 1. Linker supports --no-dynamic-linker to remove PT_INTERP segment from static PIE. 2. Linker can create working static PIE. The x86-64 linker needs the fix for https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21782 The i386 linker needs to be able to convert "movl main@GOT(%ebx), %eax" to "leal main@GOTOFF(%ebx), %eax" if main is defined locally. Binutils 2.29 or above are OK for i686 and x86-64. But linker status for other targets need to be verified. 3. Linker should resolve undefined weak symbols to 0 in static PIE: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22269 4. Many ELF backend linkers incorrectly check bfd_link_pic for TLS relocations, which should check bfd_link_executable instead: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22263 Tested on aarch64, i686 and x86-64.

@item --enable-static-pie
Enable static position independent executable (static PIE) support.
Static PIE is similar to static executable, but can be loaded at any
address without help from a dynamic linker. All static programs as
well as static tests are built as static PIE, except for those marked
with no-pie. The resulting glibc can be used with the GCC option,
-static-pie, which is available with GCC 8 or above, to create static
PIE. This option also implies that glibc programs and tests are created
as dynamic position independent executables (PIE) by default.

@item --enable-cet
@itemx --enable-cet=permissive
Enable Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET) support. When
@theglibc{} is built with @option{--enable-cet} or
@option{--enable-cet=permissive}, the resulting library
is protected with indirect branch tracking (IBT) and shadow stack
(SHSTK)@. When CET is enabled, @theglibc{} is compatible with all
existing executables and shared libraries. This feature is currently
supported on i386, x86_64 and x32 with GCC 8 and binutils 2.29 or later.
Note that when CET is enabled, @theglibc{} requires CPUs capable of
multi-byte NOPs, like x86-64 processors as well as Intel Pentium Pro or
newer. With @option{--enable-cet}, it is an error to dlopen a non CET
enabled shared library in CET enabled application. With
@option{--enable-cet=permissive}, CET is disabled when dlopening a
non CET enabled shared library in CET enabled application.
NOTE: @option{--enable-cet} has been tested for i686, x86_64 and x32
on non-CET processors. @option{--enable-cet} has been tested for
i686, x86_64 and x32 on CET processors.
@item --enable-memory-tagging
Enable memory tagging support if the architecture supports it. When
@theglibc{} is built with this option then the resulting library will
be able to control the use of tagged memory when hardware support is
present by use of the tunable @samp{glibc.mem.tagging}. This includes
the generation of tagged memory when using the @code{malloc} APIs.
At present only AArch64 platforms with MTE provide this functionality,
although the library will still operate (without memory tagging) on
older versions of the architecture.
The default is to disable support for memory tagging.
@item --disable-profile
Don't build libraries with profiling information. You may want to use
this option if you don't plan to do profiling.
@item --enable-static-nss
Compile static versions of the NSS (Name Service Switch) libraries.
This is not recommended because it defeats the purpose of NSS; a program
linked statically with the NSS libraries cannot be dynamically
reconfigured to use a different name database.
@item --enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests
By default, dynamic tests are linked to run with the installed C library.
This option hardcodes the newly built C library path in dynamic tests
so that they can be invoked directly.
@item --disable-timezone-tools
By default, timezone related utilities (@command{zic}, @command{zdump},
and @command{tzselect}) are installed with @theglibc{}. If you are building
these independently (e.g. by using the @samp{tzcode} package), then this
option will allow disabling the install of these.
Note that you need to make sure the external tools are kept in sync with
the versions that @theglibc{} expects as the data formats may change over
time. Consult the @file{timezone} subdirectory for more details.
@item --enable-stack-protector
@itemx --enable-stack-protector=strong
@itemx --enable-stack-protector=all
Compile the C library and all other parts of the glibc package
(including the threading and math libraries, NSS modules, and
transliteration modules) using the GCC @option{-fstack-protector},
@option{-fstack-protector-strong} or @option{-fstack-protector-all}
options to detect stack overruns. Only the dynamic linker and a small
number of routines called directly from assembler are excluded from this
protection.
@item --enable-bind-now
Disable lazy binding for installed shared objects and programs. This
provides additional security hardening because it enables full RELRO
and a read-only global offset table (GOT), at the cost of slightly
increased program load times.
@pindex pt_chown
@findex grantpt
@item --enable-pt_chown
The file @file{pt_chown} is a helper binary for @code{grantpt}
(@pxref{Allocation, Pseudo-Terminals}) that is installed setuid root to
fix up pseudo-terminal ownership on GNU/Hurd. It is not required on
GNU/Linux, and @theglibc{} will not use the installed @file{pt_chown}
program when configured with @option{--enable-pt_chown}.
Use -Werror by default, add --disable-werror. As discussed starting at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-11/msg00323.html>, this patch makes the glibc build use -Werror by default to avoid accidentally adding new warnings to the build. The configure option --disable-werror can be used to disable this. -Wno-error=undef is temporarily used because the build isn't clean regarding -Wundef warnings. The idea is that once the remaining -Wundef warnings have been cleaned up (in at least one configuration), -Wno-error=undef will be removed. I get a clean build and test on x86_64 (GCC 4.9 branch) with this patch. The expectation is that this may well break the build for some other configurations, and people seeing such breakage should make appropriate fixes to fix or suppress the warnings for their configurations. In some cases that may involve using pragmas as the right fix (I think that will be right for the -Wno-inline issue for MIPS I referred to in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-11/msg00798.html>, for example), in some cases -Wno-error in sysdeps makefiles (__restore_rt in MIPS sigaction, for example), in some cases substantive fixes for the warnings. Note that if, with a view to listing all the warnings then fixing them all, you just look for "warning:" in output from building and testing with --disable-werror, you'll see lots of warnings from the linker about functions such as tmpnam. Those warnings can be ignored - only compiler warnings are relevant to -Werror, not linker warnings. * configure.ac (--disable-werror): New configure option. (enable_werror): New AC_SUBST. * configure: Regenerated. * config.make.in (enable-werror): New variable. * Makeconfig [$(enable-werror) = yes] (+gccwarn): Add -Werror -Wno-error=undef.

@item --disable-werror
By default, @theglibc{} is built with @option{-Werror}. If you wish
to build without this option (for example, if building with a newer
version of GCC than this version of @theglibc{} was tested with, so
new warnings cause the build with @option{-Werror} to fail), you can
configure with @option{--disable-werror}.

Add framework for tunables The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables. Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables configure flag to the configure script.

following values:

To that effect, this patch enhances the --enable-tunables option to accept more values than just 'yes' or 'no'.

Enhance --enable-tunables to select tunables frontend at build time At the GNU Tools Cauldron 2016, the state of the current tunables patchset was considered OK with the addition of a way to select the frontend to be used for the tunables. That is, to avoid being locked in to one type of frontend initially, it should be possible to build tunables with a different frontend with something as simple as a configure switch. To that effect, this patch enhances the --enable-tunables option to accept more values than just 'yes' or 'no'. The current frontend (and default when enable-tunables is 'yes') is called 'valstring', to select the frontend where a single environment variable is set to a colon-separated value string. More such frontends can be added in future. * Makeconfig (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive. * configure.ac: Add 'valstring' as a valid value for --enable-tunables. * configure: Regenerate. * elf/Makefile (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive. (CPPFLAGS-dl-tunables.c): Define TUNABLES_FRONTEND for dl-tunables.c. * elf/dl-tunables.c (GLIBC_TUNABLES): Define only when TUNABLES_FRONTEND == TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring. (tunables_strdup): Likewise. (disable_tunables): Likewise. (parse_tunables): Likewise. (__tunables_init): Process GLIBC_TUNABLES envvar only when. TUNABLES_FRONTEND == TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring. * elf/dl-tunables.h (TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring): New macro. (TUNABLES_FRONTEND_yes): New macro, define as TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring by default. * manual/install.texi: Document new acceptable values for --enable-tunables. * INSTALL: Regenerate.

@item valstring
This enables tunables and selects the @samp{valstring} frontend for tunables.
This frontend allows users to specify tunables as a colon-separated list in a
single environment variable @env{GLIBC_TUNABLES}.
@end table
Add framework for tunables The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables. Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the compatibility interface. * manual/install.texi: Add --enable-tunables option. * INSTALL: Regenerate. * README.tunables: New file. * Makeconfig (CPPFLAGS): Define TOP_NAMESPACE.

@item --disable-crypt
Do not install the passphrase-hashing library @file{libcrypt} or the
header file @file{crypt.h}. @file{unistd.h} will still declare the
function @code{crypt}. Using this option does not change the set of
programs that may need to be linked with @option{-lcrypt}; it only
means that @theglibc{} will not provide that library.
This option is for hackers and distributions experimenting with
independently-maintained implementations of libcrypt. It may become
the default in a future release.
@item --disable-experimental-malloc
By default, a per-thread cache is enabled in @code{malloc}. While
this cache can be disabled on a per-application basis using tunables
(set glibc.malloc.tcache_count to zero), this option can be used to
remove it from the build completely.
@item --disable-scv
Disable using @code{scv} instruction for syscalls. All syscalls will use
@code{sc} instead, even if the kernel supports @code{scv}. PowerPC only.
@item --build=@var{build-system}
@itemx --host=@var{host-system}
These options are for cross-compiling. If you specify both options and
@var{build-system} is different from @var{host-system}, @code{configure}
will prepare to cross-compile @theglibc{} from @var{build-system} to be used
on @var{host-system}. You'll probably need the @samp{--with-headers}
option too, and you may have to override @var{configure}'s selection of
the compiler and/or binutils.
If you only specify @samp{--host}, @code{configure} will prepare for a
native compile but use what you specify instead of guessing what your
system is. This is most useful to change the CPU submodel. For example,
if @code{configure} guesses your machine as @code{i686-pc-linux-gnu} but
you want to compile a library for 586es, give
@samp{--host=i586-pc-linux-gnu} or just @samp{--host=i586-linux} and add
the appropriate compiler flags (@samp{-mcpu=i586} will do the trick) to
@code{CC}.

If you specify just @samp{--build}, @code{configure} will get confused.
@item --with-pkgversion=@var{version}
Specify a description, possibly including a build number or build
date, of the binaries being built, to be included in
@option{--version} output from programs installed with @theglibc{}.
For example, @option{--with-pkgversion='FooBar GNU/Linux glibc build
123'}. The default value is @samp{GNU libc}.
@item --with-bugurl=@var{url}
Specify the URL that users should visit if they wish to report a bug,
to be included in @option{--help} output from programs installed with
@theglibc{}. The default value refers to the main bug-reporting
information for @theglibc{}.
@end table
To build the library and related programs, type @code{make}. This will
produce a lot of output, some of which may look like errors from
@code{make} but aren't. Look for error messages from @code{make}
containing @samp{***}. Those indicate that something is seriously wrong.
The compilation process can take a long time, depending on the
configuration and the speed of your machine. Some complex modules may
take a very long time to compile, as much as several minutes on slower
machines. Do not panic if the compiler appears to hang.
If you want to run a parallel make, simply pass the @samp{-j} option
with an appropriate numeric parameter to @code{make}. You need a recent
GNU @code{make} version, though.
To build and run test programs which exercise some of the library
facilities, type @code{make check}. If it does not complete
successfully, do not use the built library, and report a bug after
verifying that the problem is not already known. @xref{Reporting Bugs},
for instructions on reporting bugs. Note that some of the tests assume
they are not being run by @code{root}. We recommend you compile and
test @theglibc{} as an unprivileged user.
Before reporting bugs make sure there is no problem with your system.
The tests (and later installation) use some pre-existing files of the
system such as @file{/etc/passwd}, @file{/etc/nsswitch.conf} and others.
These files must all contain correct and sensible content.
Do not terminate default test runs on test failure. This patch is an updated version of <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00198.html> and <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-03/msg00180.html>. Normal practice for software testsuites is that rather than terminating immediately when a test fails, they continue running and report at the end on how many tests passed or failed. The principle behind the glibc testsuite stopping on failure was probably that the expected state is no failures and so any failure indicates a problem such as miscompilation. In practice, while this is fairly close to true for native testing on x86_64 and x86 (kernel bugs and race conditions can still cause intermittent failures), it's less likely to be the case on other platforms, and so people testing glibc run the testsuite with "make -k" and then examine the logs to determine whether the failures are what they expect to fail on that platform, possibly with some automation for the comparison. This patch switches the glibc testsuite to the normal convention of not stopping on failure - unless you use stop-on-test-failure=y, in which case it behaves essentially as it did before (and does not generate overall test summaries on failure). Instead, the summary tests.sum may contain tests that FAILed. At the end of the test run, any FAIL or ERROR lines from tests.sum are printed, and then it exits with error status if there were any such lines. In addition, build failures will also cause the test run to stop - this has the justification that those *do* indicate serious problems that should be promptly fixed and aren't generally hard to fix (but apart from that, avoiding the build stopping on those failures seems harder). Note that unlike the previous patches in this series, this *does* require people with automation around testing glibc to change their processes - either to start using tests.sum / xtests.sum to track failures and compare them with expectations (with or without also using "make -k" and examining "make" logs to identify build failures), or else to use stop-on-test-failure=y and ignore the new tests.sum / xtests.sum mechanism. (If all you check is the exit status from "make check", no changes are needed unless you want to avoid test runs continuing after the first failure.) Tested x86_64. * scripts/evaluate-test.sh: Handle fourth argument to determine whether test run should stop on failure. * Makeconfig (stop-on-test-failure): New variable. (evaluate-test): Pass fourth argument to evaluate-test.sh based on $(stop-on-test-failure). * Makefile (tests): Give a summary of results from testing and exit with failure status if they include an ERROR or FAIL.

Normally, @code{make check} will run all the tests before reporting
all problems found and exiting with error status if any problems
occurred. You can specify @samp{stop-on-test-failure=y} when running
@code{make check} to make the test run stop and exit with an error
status immediately when a failure occurs.
To format the @cite{GNU C Library Reference Manual} for printing, type
@w{@code{make dvi}}. You need a working @TeX{} installation to do
this. The distribution builds the on-line formatted version of the
manual, as Info files, as part of the build process. You can build
them manually with @w{@code{make info}}.

The library has a number of special-purpose configuration parameters
which you can find in @file{Makeconfig}. These can be overwritten with
the file @file{configparms}. To change them, create a
@file{configparms} in your build directory and add values as appropriate
for your system. The file is included and parsed by @code{make} and has
to follow the conventions for makefiles.
It is easy to configure @theglibc{} for cross-compilation by
setting a few variables in @file{configparms}. Set @code{CC} to the
cross-compiler for the target you configured the library for; it is
important to use this same @code{CC} value when running
@code{configure}, like this: @samp{configure @var{target}
CC=@var{target}-gcc}. Set @code{BUILD_CC} to the compiler to use for programs
run on the build system as part of compiling the library. You may need to
2011-02-15 19:52:29 +00:00
set @code{AR} to cross-compiling versions of @code{ar}
if the native tools are not configured to work with
2012-10-25 19:17:45 +00:00
object files for the target you configured for. When cross-compiling
@theglibc{}, it may be tested using @samp{make check
test-wrapper="@var{srcdir}/scripts/cross-test-ssh.sh @var{hostname}"},
where @var{srcdir} is the absolute directory name for the main source
directory and @var{hostname} is the host name of a system that can run
the newly built binaries of @theglibc{}. The source and build
directories must be visible at the same locations on both the build
system and @var{hostname}.
The @samp{cross-test-ssh.sh} script requires @samp{flock} from
@samp{util-linux} to work when @var{glibc_test_allow_time_setting}
environment variable is set.
It is also possible to execute tests, which require setting the date on
the target machine. Following use cases are supported:
@itemize @bullet
@item
@code{GLIBC_TEST_ALLOW_TIME_SETTING} is set in the environment in
which eligible tests are executed and have the privilege to run
@code{clock_settime}. In this case, nothing prevents those tests from
running in parallel, so the caller shall assure that those tests
are serialized or provide a proper wrapper script for them.
@item
The @code{cross-test-ssh.sh} script is used and one passes the
@option{--allow-time-setting} flag. In this case, both sets
@code{GLIBC_TEST_ALLOW_TIME_SETTING} and serialization of test
execution are assured automatically.
@end itemize
In general, when testing @theglibc{}, @samp{test-wrapper} may be set
to the name and arguments of any program to run newly built binaries.
This program must preserve the arguments to the binary being run, its
Don't require test wrappers to preserve environment variables, use more consistent environment. One wart in the original support for test wrappers for cross testing, as noted in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00722.html>, is the requirement for test wrappers to pass a poorly-defined set of environment variables from the build system to the system running the glibc under test. Although some variables are passed explicitly via $(test-wrapper-env), including LD_* variables that simply can't be passed implicitly because of the side effects they'd have on the build system's dynamic linker, others are passed implicitly, including variables such as GCONV_PATH and LOCPATH that could potentially affect the build system's libc (so effectively relying on any such effects not breaking the wrappers). In addition, the code in cross-test-ssh.sh for preserving environment variables is fragile (it depends on how bash formats a list of exported variables, and could well break for multi-line variable definitions where the contents contain things looking like other variable definitions). This patch moves to explicitly passing environment variables via $(test-wrapper-env). Makefile variables that previously used $(test-wrapper) are split up into -before-env and -after-env parts that can be passed separately to the various .sh files used in testing, so those files can then insert environment settings between the two parts. The common default environment settings in make-test-out are made into a separate makefile variable that can also be passed to scripts, rather than many scripts duplicating those settings (for testing an installed glibc, it is desirable to have the GCONV_PATH setting on just one place, so just that one place needs to support it pointing to an installed sysroot instead of the build tree). The default settings are included in the variables such as $(test-program-prefix), so that if tests do not need any non-default settings they can continue to use single variables rather than the split-up variables. Although this patch cleans up LC_ALL=C settings (that being part of the common defaults), various LANG=C and LANGUAGE=C settings remain. Those are generally unnecessary and I propose a subsequent cleanup to remove them. LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, and while LANGUAGE takes precedence over LC_ALL, it only does so for settings other than LC_ALL=C. So LC_ALL=C on its own is sufficient to ensure the C locale, and anything that gets LC_ALL=C does not need the other settings. While preparing this patch I noticed some tests with .sh files that appeared to do nothing beyond what the generic makefile support for tests can do (localedata/tst-wctype.sh - the makefiles support -ENV variables and .input files - and localedata/tst-mbswcs.sh - just runs five tests that could be run individually from the makefile). So I propose another subsequent cleanup to move those to using the generic support instead of special .sh files.

descriptors. If @samp{@var{test-wrapper} env} will not work to run a
program with environment variables set, then @samp{test-wrapper-env}
must be set to a program that runs a newly built program with
environment variable assignments in effect, those assignments being
specified as @samp{@var{var}=@var{value}} before the name of the
program to be run. If multiple assignments to the same variable are
specified, the last assignment specified must take precedence.
Similarly, if @samp{@var{test-wrapper} env -i} will not work to run a
program with an environment completely empty of variables except those
directly assigned, then @samp{test-wrapper-env-only} must be set; its
use has the same syntax as @samp{test-wrapper-env}, the only
difference in its semantics being starting with an empty set of
environment variables rather than the ambient set.
For AArch64 with SVE, when testing @theglibc{}, @samp{test-wrapper}
may be set to "@var{srcdir}/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/vltest.py
@var{vector-length}" to change Vector Length.

Remove redundant C locale settings. Various glibc build / install / test code has C locale settings that are redundant with LC_ALL=C. LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, so anywhere that sets LC_ALL=C (explicitly, or through it being in the default environment for running tests) does not need to set LANG=C. LC_ALL=C also takes precedence over LANGUAGE, since 2001-01-02 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> * intl/dcigettext.c (guess_category_value): Rewrite so that LANGUAGE value is ignored if the selected locale is the C locale. * intl/tst-gettext.c: Set locale for above change. * intl/tst-translit.c: Likewise. and so settings of LANGUAGE=C are also redundant when LC_ALL=C is set. One test also had LC_ALL=C in its -ENV setting, although it's part of the default environment used for tests. This patch removes the redundant settings. It removes a suggestion in install.texi of setting LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL=C for "make install"; the Makefile.in target "install" already sets LC_ALL_C so there's no need for the user to set it (and nor should there be any need for the user to set it). If some build machine tool used by "make install" uses a version of libintl predating that 2001 change, and the user has LANGUAGE set, the removal of LANGUAGE=C from the Makefile.in "install" rule could in principle affect the user's installation. However, I don't think we need to be concerned about pre-2001 build tools.

@samp{make install} will do the entire job of upgrading from a
previous installation of @theglibc{} version 2.x. There may sometimes
be headers
left behind from the previous installation, but those are generally
harmless. If you want to avoid leaving headers behind you can do
things in the following order.
You must first build the library (@samp{make}), optionally check it
(@samp{make check}), switch the include directories and then install
(@samp{make install}). The steps must be done in this order. Not moving
the directory before install will result in an unusable mixture of header
files from both libraries, but configuring, building, and checking the
library requires the ability to compile and run programs against the old
library. The new @file{/usr/include}, after switching the include
directories and before installing the library should contain the Linux
headers, but nothing else. If you do this, you will need to restore
any headers from libraries other than @theglibc{} yourself after installing the
2000-03-26 06:03:42 +00:00
library.
You can install @theglibc{} somewhere other than where you configured
it to go by setting the @code{DESTDIR} GNU standard make variable on
the command line for @samp{make install}. The value of this variable
is prepended to all the paths for installation. This is useful when
setting up a chroot environment or preparing a binary distribution.
The directory should be specified with an absolute file name. Installing
with the @code{prefix} and @code{exec_prefix} GNU standard make variables
set is not supported.

One auxiliary program, @file{/usr/libexec/pt_chown}, is installed setuid
@code{root} if the @samp{--enable-pt_chown} configuration option is used.
This program is invoked by the @code{grantpt} function; it sets the
permissions on a pseudoterminal so it can be used by the calling process.
If you are using a Linux kernel with the @code{devpts} filesystem enabled
and mounted at @file{/dev/pts}, you don't need this program.
After installation you should configure the timezone and install locales
for your system. The time zone configuration ensures that your system
time matches the time for your current timezone. The locales ensure that
the display of information on your system matches the expectations of
your language and geographic region.
@Theglibc{} is able to use two kinds of localization information sources, the
first is a locale database named @file{locale-archive} which is generally
installed as @file{/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive}. The locale archive has the
benefit of taking up less space and being very fast to load, but only if you
plan to install sixty or more locales. If you plan to install one or two
locales you can instead install individual locales into their self-named
directories e.g.@: @file{/usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8}. For example to install
the German locale using the character set for UTF-8 with name @code{de_DE} into
the locale archive issue the command @samp{localedef -i de_DE -f UTF-8 de_DE},
and to install just the one locale issue the command @samp{localedef
--no-archive -i de_DE -f UTF-8 de_DE}. To configure all locales that are
supported by @theglibc{}, you can issue from your build directory the command
@samp{make localedata/install-locales} to install all locales into the locale
archive or @samp{make localedata/install-locale-files} to install all locales
as files in the default configured locale installation directory (derived from
@samp{--prefix} or @code{--localedir}). To install into an alternative system
root use @samp{DESTDIR} e.g.@: @samp{make localedata/install-locale-files
DESTDIR=/opt/glibc}, but note that this does not change the configured prefix.
To configure the locally used timezone, set the @code{TZ} environment
variable. The script @code{tzselect} helps you to select the right value.
As an example, for Germany, @code{tzselect} would tell you to use
@samp{TZ='Europe/Berlin'}. For a system wide installation (the given
paths are for an installation with @samp{--prefix=/usr}), link the
timezone file which is in @file{/usr/share/zoneinfo} to the file
@file{/etc/localtime}. For Germany, you might execute @samp{ln -s
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime}.

for @option{-mno-gnu-attribute}, @option{-mabi=ieeelongdouble}, and

For ARC architecture builds, GCC 8.3 or higher is needed.
For s390x architecture builds, GCC 7.1 or higher is needed (See gcc Bug 98269).
For multi-arch support it is recommended to use a GCC which has been built with
support for GNU indirect functions. This ensures that correct debugging
information is generated for functions selected by IFUNC resolvers. This
support can either be enabled by configuring GCC with
@samp{--enable-gnu-indirect-function}, or by enabling it by default by setting
@samp{default_gnu_indirect_function} variable for a particular architecture in
the GCC source file @file{gcc/config.gcc}.
You can use whatever compiler you like to compile programs that use
@theglibc{}.
Check the FAQ for any special compiler issues on particular platforms.
@item
GNU @code{binutils} 2.25 or later
You must use GNU @code{binutils} (as and ld) to build @theglibc{}.
No other assembler or linker has the necessary functionality at the
moment. As of release time, GNU @code{binutils} 2.35.1 is the newest
verified to work to build @theglibc{}.
For PowerPC 64-bits little-endian (powerpc64le), @command{objcopy} is required
to support @option{--update-section}. This option requires binutils 2.26 or
newer.

plural.c: improve reproducibility There is a subtle non-determinism when building glibc. This depends on whether the glibc is built using the distibuted file intl/plural.c or built using the generated file intl/plural.c. These two files (intl/plural.c generated vs. distributed) are slightly different, hence we may end up with slightly different libraries. Originally, having "bison" installed was optional. So if "bison" was not present, we always built libraries with the distributed plural.c. If bison was installed, we *** may have *** replaced the distributed file plural.c with a new plural.c generated from plural.y. if the timestamps triggered this rule: plural.c plural.y $(BISON) $(BISONFLAGS) $@ $^ Given that timestamps are not preserved in GIT repositories, the above rule is not reliable without explicitly touching plural.c or plural.y. In other words, the rule may or may not have fired. In summary: there are two distinct sources of non-determinism: 1. Having "bison" installed or not 2. Having "bison" installed but timestamps poorly defined. This patch fixes this by requiring "bison" being installed and by always generating intl/plural.c from intl/plural.y.

@cindex kernel header files
If you are installing @theglibc{} on @gnulinuxsystems{}, you need to have
Require Linux 3.2 except on x86 / x86_64, 3.2 headers everywhere. In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00885.html> I proposed a minimum Linux kernel version of 3.2 for glibc 2.24, since Linux 2.6.32 has reached EOL. In the discussion in February, some concerns were expressed about compatibility with OpenVZ containers. It's not clear that these are real issues, given OpenVZ backporting kernel features and faking the kernel version for guest software, as discussed in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00278.html>. It's also not clear that supporting running GNU/Linux distributions from late 2016 (at the earliest) on a kernel series from 2009 is a sensible expectation. However, as an interim step, this patch increases the requirement everywhere except x86 / x86_64 (since the controversy was only about those architectures); the special caveats and settings can easily be removed later when we're ready to increase the requirements on x86 / x86_64 (and if someone would like to raise the issue on LWN as suggested in the previous discussion, that would be welcome). 3.2 kernel headers are required everywhere by this patch. (x32 already requires 3.4 or later, so is unaffected by this patch.) As usual for such a change, this patch only changes the configure scripts and associated documentation. The intent is to follow up with removal of dead __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION conditionals. Each __ASSUME_* or other macro that becomes dead can then be removed independently. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac (LIBC_LINUX_VERSION): Define to 3.2.0. (arch_minimum_kernel): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Define to 2.6.32. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure.ac (arch_minimum_kernel): Define to 2.6.32. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/configure: Regenerated. * README: Document Linux 3.2 requirement. * manual/install.texi (Linux): Document Linux 3.2 headers requirement. * INSTALL: Regenerated.

the header files from a 3.2 or newer kernel around for reference.
(For the ia64 architecture, you need version 3.2.18 or newer because this
is the first version with support for the @code{accept4} system call.)
These headers must be installed using @samp{make headers_install}; the
headers present in the kernel source directory are not suitable for
direct use by @theglibc{}. You do not need to use that kernel, just have
its headers installed where @theglibc{} can access them, referred to here as
@var{install-directory}. The easiest way to do this is to unpack it
in a directory such as @file{/usr/src/linux-@var{version}}. In that
directory, run @samp{make headers_install
INSTALL_HDR_PATH=@var{install-directory}}. Finally, configure @theglibc{}
with the option @samp{--with-headers=@var{install-directory}/include}.
Use the most recent kernel you can get your hands on. (If you are
cross-compiling @theglibc{}, you need to specify
@samp{ARCH=@var{architecture}} in the @samp{make headers_install}
command, where @var{architecture} is the architecture name used by the
Linux kernel, such as @samp{x86} or @samp{powerpc}.)
After installing @theglibc{}, you may need to remove or rename
directories such as @file{/usr/include/linux} and
@file{/usr/include/asm}, and replace them with copies of directories
such as @file{linux} and @file{asm} from
@file{@var{install-directory}/include}. All directories present in
@file{@var{install-directory}/include} should be copied, except that
@theglibc{} provides its own version of @file{/usr/include/scsi}; the
files provided by the kernel should be copied without replacing those
provided by @theglibc{}. The @file{linux}, @file{asm} and
@file{asm-generic} directories are required to compile programs using
@theglibc{}; the other directories describe interfaces to the kernel but
are not required if not compiling programs using those interfaces.
You do not need to copy kernel headers if you did not specify an
alternate kernel header source using @samp{--with-headers}.

There are probably bugs in @theglibc{}. There are certainly
errors and omissions in this manual. If you report them, they will get
fixed. If you don't, no one will ever know about them and they will
remain unfixed for all eternity, if not longer.
It is a good idea to verify that the problem has not already been
reported. Bugs are documented in two places: The file @file{BUGS}
describes a number of well known bugs and the central @glibcadj{}
bug tracking system has a
WWW interface at
@url{https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/}. The WWW
interface gives you access to open and closed reports. A closed report
normally includes a patch or a hint on solving the problem.
To report a bug, first you must find it. With any luck, this will be the
hard part. Once you've found a bug, make sure it's really a bug. A
good way to do this is to see if @theglibc{} behaves the same way
some other C library does. If so, probably you are wrong and the
libraries are right (but not necessarily). If not, one of the libraries
is probably wrong. It might not be @theglibc{}. Many historical

conform to the ISO and POSIX standards (@pxref{Standards and
Portability}), that is definitely a bug. Report it!
Once you're sure you've found a bug, try to narrow it down to the
smallest test case that reproduces the problem. In the case of a C
library, you really only need to narrow it down to one library
function call, if possible. This should not be too difficult.
The final step when you have a simple test case is to report the bug.
Do this at @value{REPORT_BUGS_TO}.
If you are not sure how a function should behave, and this manual
doesn't tell you, that's a bug in the manual. Report that too! If the
function's behavior disagrees with the manual, then either the library
or the manual has a bug, so report the disagreement. If you find any
errors or omissions in this manual, please report them to the
bug database. If you refer to specific
sections of the manual, please include the section names for easier
identification.
