Commit 68ab82f566 added support for the scv
syscall ABI on powerpc. Since then systems that have kernel and processor
support started using scv. However adding the proper support for a new syscall
ABI requires changes to several other projects (e.g. qemu, valgrind, strace,
kernel), which are gradually receiving support.
Meanwhile, having a way to disable scv on glibc at build time can be useful for
distros that may encounter conflicts with projects that still do not support the
scv ABI, buying time until proper support is added.
This commit adds a --disable-scv option that disables scv support and uses sc
for all syscalls, like before commit 68ab82f566.

This essentially folds compat_symbol_unique functionality into
compat_symbol.
This change eliminates the need for intermediate aliases for defining
multiple symbol versions, for both compat_symbol and versioned_symbol.
Some binutils versions do not suport multiple versions per symbol on
some targets, so aliases are automatically introduced, similar to what
compat_symbol_unique did. To reduce symbol table sizes, a configure
check is added to avoid these aliases if they are not needed.
The new mechanism works with data symbols as well as function symbols,
due to the way an assembler-level redirect is used. It is not
compatible with weak symbols for old binutils versions, which is why
the definition of __malloc_initialize_hook had to be changed. This
is not a loss of functionality because weak symbols do not matter
to dynamic linking.
The placeholder symbol needs repeating in nptl/libpthread-compat.c
now that compat_symbol is used, but that seems more obvious than
introducing yet another macro.
A subtle difference was that compat_symbol_unique made the symbol
global automatically. compat_symbol does not do this, so static
had to be removed from the definition of
__libpthread_version_placeholder.

As discussed during development for glibc 2.29, when we increased the
required minimum GCC version for building glibc to GCC 5, working
purely based on the times at which such requirements have been
increased in the past it would be appropriate for glibc 2.30 to
require GCC 6 (matching GCC 4.9 having been required for glibc 2.26).
Naming 6.2 specifically as the minimum version then means a separate
version requirement no longer needs to be specified for powerpc64le.
Thus, this patch increases the minimum to 6.2, removing the
documentation of the separate requirement for powerpc64le. It does
not remove the powerpc64le configure test, or any __GNUC_PREREQ that
could be removed as not being in installed headers or files shared
with gnulib; I think such cleanups are best done separately.
Tested for x86_64.

version.

We know that building glibc with GCC 4.9 is broken on various
platforms (bug 23993). As it's more than a year since we last
increased the minimum GCC version to build glibc, this patch changes
the requirement to be GCC 5 or later (indeed, based on 4.9 having been
required for building 2.26, it would be consistent in terms of timing
to require GCC 6 or later from the 2.30 release onwards). It
deliberately just updates the configure test and corresponding
documentation, leaving removal of no-longer-needed __GNUC_PREREQ tests
for a separate patch.
In the NEWS entry, the requirement for a newer GCC version for
powerpc64le is reiterated (as in the entry for the 4.9 requirement in
2.26) to avoid suggesting the version requirement there has gone down.
(If that version goes up further as part of support for binary128 long
double, of course the wording would change at that time.)

Currently, DT_TEXTREL is incompatible with IFUNC. When DT_TEXTREL or

to segfault when performing IFUNC resolution (which requires PROT_EXEC
as well for the IFUNC resolver).
This patch makes it call __mprotect with extra PROT_WRITE bit, which
will keep the PROT_EXEC bit if exists, and thus fixes the segfault.

https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/4d/2a/control-flow-en

GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is added to GNU program property to
indicate that all executable sections are compatible with IBT when
ENDBR instruction starts each valid target where an indirect branch
instruction can land. Linker sets GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT on
output only if it is set on all relocatable inputs.
On an IBT capable processor, the following steps should be taken:
1. When loading an executable without an interpreter, enable IBT and
lock IBT if GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is set on the executable.
2. When loading an executable with an interpreter, enable IBT if
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT is set on the interpreter.
a. If GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT isn't set on the executable,
disable IBT.
b. Lock IBT.
3. If IBT is enabled, when loading a shared object without
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT:
a. If legacy interwork is allowed, then mark all pages in executable
PT_LOAD segments in legacy code page bitmap. Failure of legacy code
page bitmap allocation causes an error.
b. If legacy interwork isn't allowed, it causes an error.
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK is added to GNU program property to
indicate that all executable sections are compatible with SHSTK where
return address popped from shadow stack always matches return address
popped from normal stack. Linker sets GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK
on output only if it is set on all relocatable inputs.
On a SHSTK capable processor, the following steps should be taken:
1. When loading an executable without an interpreter, enable SHSTK if
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK is set on the executable.
2. When loading an executable with an interpreter, enable SHSTK if
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK is set on interpreter.
a. If GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK isn't set on the executable
or any shared objects loaded via the DT_NEEDED tag, disable SHSTK.
b. Otherwise lock SHSTK.
3. After SHSTK is enabled, it is an error to load a shared object
without GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK.
To enable CET support in glibc, --enable-cet is required to configure
glibc. When CET is enabled, both compiler and assembler must support
CET. Otherwise, it is a configure-time error.
To support CET run-time control,
1. _dl_x86_feature_1 is added to the writable ld.so namespace to indicate
if IBT or SHSTK are enabled at run-time. It should be initialized by
init_cpu_features.
2. For dynamic executables:
a. A l_cet field is added to struct link_map to indicate if IBT or
SHSTK is enabled in an ELF module. _dl_process_pt_note or
_rtld_process_pt_note is called to process PT_NOTE segment for
GNU program property and set l_cet.
b. _dl_open_check is added to check IBT and SHSTK compatibilty when
dlopening a shared object.
3. Replace i386 _dl_runtime_resolve and _dl_runtime_profile with
_dl_runtime_resolve_shstk and _dl_runtime_profile_shstk, respectively if
SHSTK is enabled.
CET run-time control can be changed via GLIBC_TUNABLES with
$ export GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_shstk=[permissive|on|off]
$ export GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_ibt=[permissive|on|off]
1. permissive: SHSTK is disabled when dlopening a legacy ELF module.
2. on: IBT or SHSTK are always enabled, regardless if there are IBT or
SHSTK bits in GNU program property.
3. off: IBT or SHSTK are always disabled, regardless if there are IBT or
SHSTK bits in GNU program property.
<cet.h> from CET-enabled GCC is automatically included by assembly codes
to add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_IBT and GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_1_SHSTK
to GNU program property. _CET_ENDBR is added at the entrance of all
assembly functions whose address may be taken. _CET_NOTRACK is used to
insert NOTRACK prefix with indirect jump table to support IBT. It is
defined as notrack when _CET_NOTRACK is defined in <cet.h>.

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:

There is a configure option --without-fp that specifies that nofpu
sysdeps directories should be used instead of fpu directories.
For most glibc configurations, this option is of no use: either there
is no valid nofpu variant of that configuration, or there are no fpu
or nofpu sysdeps directories for that processor and so the option does
nothing. For a few configurations, if you are using a soft-float
compiler this option is required, and failing to use it generally
results in compilation errors from inline asm using unavailable
floating-point instructions.
We're moving away from --with-cpu to configuring glibc based on how
the compiler generates code, and it is natural to do so for
--without-fp as well; in most cases the soft-float and hard-float ABIs
are incompatible so you have no hope of building a working glibc with
an inappropriately configured compiler or libgcc.
This patch eliminates --without-fp, replacing it entirely by automatic
configuration based on the compiler. Configurations for which this is
relevant (coldfire / mips / powerpc32 / sh) define a variable
with_fp_cond in their preconfigure fragments (under the same
conditions under which those fragments do anything); this is a
preprocessor conditional which the toplevel configure script then uses
in a test to determine which sysdeps directories to use.
The config.make with-fp variable remains. It's used only by powerpc
(sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/Makefile) to add -mhard-float to various
flags variables. For powerpc, -mcpu= options can imply use of
soft-float. That could be an issue if you want to build for
e.g. 476fp, but are using --with-cpu=476 because there isn't a 476fp
sysdeps directory. If in future we eliminate --with-cpu and replace
it entirely by testing the compiler, it would be natural at that point
to eliminate that code as well (as the user should then just use a
compiler defaulting to 476fp and the 476 sysdeps directory would be
used automatically).
Tested for x86_64, and tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed
shared libraries are unchanged by this patch.

This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends
on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled,
and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime
selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of
the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].
Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.

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.
(This is achieved by simply removing checked-in intl/plural.c)

GCC 8 emits an warning for alias for functions with incompatible types
and it is used extensivelly for ifunc resolvers implementations in C
(for instance on weak_alias with the internal symbol name to the
external one or with the libc_hidden_def to set ifunc for internal
usage).
This breaks the build when the ifunc resolver is not defined using
gcc attribute extensions (HAVE_GCC_IFUNC being 0). Although for
all currently architectures that have multiarch support this compiler
options is enabled for default, there is still the option where the
user might try build glibc with a compiler without support for such
extension. In this case this patch just disable the multiarch folder
in sysdeps selections.
GCC 7 and before still builds IFUNCs regardless of compiler support
(although for the lack of attribute support debug information would
be optimal).
Checked with a build on multiarch support architectures (aarch64,
arm, sparc, s390, powerpc, x86_64, i386) with multiarch enable
and disable and with GCC 7 and GCC 8.
* configure.ac (libc_cv_gcc_incompatbile_alias): New define:
indicates whether compiler emits an warning for alias for
functions with incompatible types.
glibc has an add-ons mechanism to allow additional software to be
integrated into the glibc build. Such add-ons may be within the glibc
source tree, or outside it at a path passed to the --enable-add-ons
configure option.
localedata and crypt were once add-ons, distributed in separate
release tarballs, but long since stopped using that mechanism.
Linuxthreads was always an add-on. Ports spent some time as an add-on
with separate release tarballs, then was first moved into the glibc
source tree, then had its sysdeps files moved into the main sysdeps
hierarchy so the add-ons mechanism was no longer used. NPTL spent
some time as an add-on in the main glibc tree before stopping using
the add-on mechanism. libidn used to have separate release tarballs
but no longer does so, but still uses the add-ons mechanism within the
glibc source tree. Various other software has supported building with
the add-ons mechanism at times in the past, but I don't think any is
still widely used.
Add-ons involve significant, little-used complexity in the glibc build
system, and make it hard to understand what the space of possible
glibc configurations is. This patch removes the add-ons mechanism.
libidn is now built via the Subdirs mechanism to cause any
configuration using sysdeps/unix/inet to build libidn; HAVE_LIBIDN
(which effectively means shared libraries are available) is now
defined via sysdeps/unix/inet/configure. Various references to
add-ons around the source tree are removed (in the case of maint.texi,
the example list of sysdeps directories is still very out of date).
Externally maintained ports should now put their files in the normal
sysdeps directory structure rather than being arranged as add-ons;
they probably need to change e.g. elf.h anyway, rather than actually
being able to work just as a drop-in subtree. Hurd libpthread should
be arranged similarly to NPTL, so some files might go in a
hurd-pthreads (or similar) top-level directory in glibc, while sysdeps
files should go in the normal sysdeps directory structure (possibly in
hurd or hurd-pthreads subdirectories, just as there are nptl
subdirectories in the sysdeps tree).

that 2.24 was too old for building tests for 32-bit x86 (produced

This patch makes configure require GCC 4.9 or later for building
glibc, and documents that requirement. Requiring GCC 4.9 or later
allows use of _Generic (as in tzcode). It would allow <stdatomic.h>
and _Atomic to be used as well if desired, although we need to avoid
any libatomic dependencies on any platforms. This patch is explicitly
the minimum to implement a new version requirement, with any
consequent cleanups of conditional code (not in installed headers or
files shared with gnulib etc.) to be done separately.

All of the major architectures are adopting tunables as a way to add
tuning to the library, from hwcap_mask for aarch64 to HLE for s390 and
ifunc and cache geometry for x86. Given this adoption and the fact
that we don't want additional tuning knobs to be added outside of
tunables, it makes sense to enable tunables by default using this
trivial patch.
Smoke tested on x86 to ensure that tunables code was built without
specifying it as a configure flag. I have kept it as --enabled and
not changed it to --disable since we want to still keep the option of
different kinds of front-ends for tunables.

<bits/std_abs.h> from GCC 7 will include /usr/include/stdlib.h from

The test for "-z combreloc" fails when cross-compiling on a machine
that uses BSD grep (e.g. on macos). grep complains about empty
subexpression and exits with non-zero status, which is interpreted
by configure as "not found". As a result, support for "-z combreloc"
(HAVE_Z_COMBRELOC) is not detected, leading to link failure on SPARC.
While there, replace fgrep with 'grep -F', as fgrep is non-POSIX.
* configure.ac: Avoid empty subexpression in grep.

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.

TUNABLES_FRONTEND == TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring.

--enable-tunables.
* INSTALL: Regenerate.
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.

With all the machinery we just added, we can easily arrange to work even
when the compiler passes in -fstack-protector automatically: all the
necessary bits of glibc are always compiled with -fno-stack-protector
now.
So tear out the check in configure, and add appropriate calls to
-fno-stack-protector in tests that need them (largely those that use
-nostdlib), since we don't yet have a __stack_chk_fail that those
tests can rely upon. (GCC often provides one, but we cannot rely on
this, especially not when bootstrapping.)
When stack protection is disabled, explicitly pass -fno-stack-protector
to everything, to stop a compiler hacked to enable it from inserting
calls to __stack_chk_fail via the PLT in every object file.
When dynamically linking, ifunc resolvers are called before TLS is
initialized, so they cannot be safely stack-protected.
We avoid disabling stack-protection on large numbers of files by
using __attribute__ ((__optimize__ ("-fno-stack-protector")))
to turn it off just for the resolvers themselves. (We provide
the attribute even when statically linking, because we will later
use it elsewhere too.)
This adds =all and =strong, with obvious semantics, defaulting to off.
We don't validate the value of the option yet: that's in a later patch.
Nor do we use it for anything at this stage.
We differentiate between 'the compiler understands -fstack-protector'
and 'the user wanted -fstack-protector' so that we can pass
-fno-stack-protector in appropriate places even if the user didn't want
to turn on -fstack-protector for other parts. (This helps us overcome
another existing limitation, that glibc doesn't work with GCCs hacked
to pass in -fstack-protector by default.)
We also arrange to set the STACK_PROTECTOR_LEVEL #define to a value
appropriate for the stack-protection level in use for each file in
particular.
Add a configure check that looks for python3 and python in that order
since we had agreed in the past to prefer python3 over python in all
our code. The patch also adjusts invocations through the various
Makefiles to use the set variable.
* configure.ac: Check for python3 or python.
* configure: Regenerated.
* config.make.in (PYTHON): New variable.
* benchtests/Makefile: Don't define PYTHON.
(bench): Define target only if PYTHON was defined.
* Rules: Don't define PYTHON.
Define pretty printer targets only if PYTHON was defined.
(tests-printers): Add to tests-unsupported if PYTHON is not
found.
(python-flags, python-invoke): Remove.
(tests-printers-out): Use PYTHON instead of python-invoke.
Some configurations may use NSS cryptographic routines but have no
static library for those routines. The following changes allow glibc to
be built and tested with --enable-nss-crypt, but without having a static
NSS library. At a high level the change does two things:
(1) Detect at configure time if static NSS crypto libraries are
available. Assumes libfreebl3.a (instead of the existing Fedora
libfreebl.a which is incomplete) which matches libfreebl3.so.
(2) If static NSS crypto libraries are _not_ available then adjust the
way in which we build tst-linkall-static. This includes excluding a
reference to crypt and not linking against libcrypt.a, all of which
will fail otherwise.
Testing assumptions:
* Static library is named libfreebl3.a (not libfreebl.a as is currently
provided in Fedora), matching libfreebl3.so shared link name.
Tested on x86_64 on Fedora with:
(a) --enable-nss-crypt, with no static NSS library support: PASS
(previous FAIL)
(b) --enable-nss-crypt, with faked static NSS library support: PASS
(unsupported)
* Requires changing elf/Makefile to include a stub
/lib64/libfreebl3.a for testing purposes.
(c) --disable-nss-crypt: PASS
(default)
No regressions on x86_64.
For details see:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-11/msg00647.html
When glibc is compiled with gcc 6.2 that has been configured with
--enable-default-pie and --enable-default-ssp, the configure script
fails to detect that the compiler has ssp turned on by default when
being built for i686-linux-gnu.
This is because gcc is emitting __stack_chk_fail_local but the
script is only looking for __stack_chk_fail. Support both.
Example output:
checking whether x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -m32 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed
implicitly enables -fstack-protector... no
This patch adds a configure check to test if gcc supports attribute ifunc.
The support can either be enabled in <gcc-src>/gcc/config.gcc for one
architecture in general by setting default_gnu_indirect_function variable to yes
or by configuring gcc with --enable-gnu-indirect-function.
The next patch rewrites libc_ifunc macro to use gcc attribute ifunc instead
of inline assembly to generate the IFUNC symbols due to false debuginfo.
If gcc does not support attribute ifunc, the old approach for generating
ifunc'ed symbols is used. Then the debug-information is false. Thus it is
recommended to use a gcc with indirect function support (See notes in INSTALL).
After this patch-series these inline assemblies for ifunc-handling are not
scattered in multiple files but are used only indirect via ifunc-macros
and can simply removed in libc-symbols.h in future.
If glibc is configured with --enable-multi-arch and gcc does not support
attribute ifunc, a configure warning is dumped!
ChangeLog:
* config.h.in (HAVE_GCC_IFUNC): New undef.
* configure.ac: Add check if gcc supports attribute ifunc feature.
* configure: Regenerated.
* manual/install.texi: Add recommendation for gcc with
indirect-function support.
* INSTALL: Regenerated.
Since _dl_tlsdesc_dynamic is called via PLT, we need to add 8 bytes for
push in the PLT entry to align the stack.
[BZ #20309]
* configure.ac (have-mtls-dialect-gnu2): Set to yes if
-mtls-dialect=gnu2 works.
* configure: Regenerated.
* elf/Makefile [have-mtls-dialect-gnu2 = yes]
(tests): Add tst-gnu2-tls1.
(modules-names): Add tst-gnu2-tls1mod.
($(objpfx)tst-gnu2-tls1): New.

* elf/tst-gnu2-tls1mod.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/dl-tlsdesc.S (_dl_tlsdesc_dynamic): Add 8
bytes for push in the PLT entry to align the stack.
When --enable-bind-now is used to configure glibc build, we can avoid
an extra branch to the PLT entry by using indirect branch via the GOT
slot instead, which is similar to the first instructuon in the PLT
entry. Changes in the shared library sizes in text sections:
Shared library Before (bytes) After (bytes)
libm.so 1060813 1060797
libmvec.so 160881 160805
libpthread.so 94992 94984
librt.so 25064 25048
* config.h.in (BIND_NOW): New.
* configure.ac (BIND_NOW): New. Defined for --enable-bind-now.
* configure: Regenerated.
* sysdeps/x86_64/sysdep.h (JUMPTARGET)[BIND_NOW]: Defined to
indirect branch via the GOT slot.
In preparation to fix the --localedir configure argument we must
move the existing conflicting definition of localedir to a more
appropriate name. Given that all current internal uses of localedir
relate to the compiled locales we rename to complocaledir.
There are configure tests for the linker -z nodelete, -z nodlopen and
-z initfirst options. These options were added in binutils 2.11, so
the tests are obsolete; this patch removes them.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_z_nodelete): Remove configure test.
(libc_cv_z_nodlopen): Likewise.
(libc_cv_z_initfirst): Likewise.
* configure: Regenerated.
There is a configure test for the --no-whole-archive linker option.
This option was added in binutils 2.7, so the test is obsolete; this
patch removes it.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_ld_no_whole_archive): Remove configure
test.
* configure: Regenerated.
There is a configure test "for .preinit_array/.init_array/.fini_array
support". Support for this feature was added in binutils 2.13, so the
configure test is obsolete; this patch removes it.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_initfini_array): Remove configure test.
* configure: Regenerated.
There are various configure tests for visibility support in the
compiler and assember.
GCC support for visibility attributes was added in GCC 3.3. I don't
know what specific fix was intended by the test "for broken
__attribute__((visibility())", but it was added by
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2002-08/msg00030.html>, and GCC
3.3 appears not to have that breakage, so I suspect it was only ever
in development versions before 3.3 was released. The assembler
support was added in binutils 2.10.
This patch removes the tests in question as obsolete. Two tests that
were formerly conditional on "if test $libc_cv_visibility_attribute =
yes", including the one for linker support for protected data, are now
unconditional.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_protected_directive): Remove configure
test.
(libc_cv_visibility_attribute): Likewise.
(libc_cv_protected_data): Test unconditionally.
(libc_cv_broken_visibility_attribute): Remove configure test.
(libc_cv_have_sdata_section): Test unconditionally.
* configure: Regenerated.
Now that GCC 4.7 or later is required to build glibc, this patch moves
the build from using -std=gnu99 to -std=gnu11 (option added in 4.7).
This allows use of C11 features from GCC's headers, such as new
float.h macros and max_align_t.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite; installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch on x86_64, while I see some
slight code reordering of no significance on x86).
* Makeconfig (CFLAGS): Use -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu99.
* Makefile ($(objpfx)c++-types-check.out): Filter out -std=gnu11
instead of -std=gnu99.
* configure.ac (systemtap): Test with -std=gnu11 instead of
-std=gnu99.
* configure: Regenerated.
* math/gen-auto-libm-tests.c: Use -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu99
in compilation command in comment.
sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac tests for forced unwind support and the C
cleanup attribute, giving errors if either is unsupported. It does
nothing beyond running those two tests.
Both the attribute, and _Unwind_GetCFA which is used in the forced
unwind test, were added in GCC 3.3. Thus these tests are long
obsolete, and this patch removes the configure fragment running them,
along with associated conditionals.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped
shared libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac: Remove file.
* sysdeps/nptl/configure: Remove generated file.
* configure.ac (libc_cv_forced_unwind): Do not substitute.
* configure: Regenerated.
* config.h.in (HAVE_FORCED_UNWIND): Remove #undef.

This patch implements a requirement of GCC 4.7 or later to build
glibc.
This was discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-08/msg00851.html>.
Concerns were expressed by Mike and David. At
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00453.html> I have
provided a 14-patch series showing in outline the cleanups facilitated
by this version requirement, as requested by Mike (this patch is the
first in that series, with the addition of a NEWS entry). Given the
absence of further concerns or alternative proposals for criteria for
updates to this version requirement as requested in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00065.html>, I am
interpreting this as "absence of sustained opposition" under Carlos's
definition at <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Consensus> and
proposing this patch for inclusion in glibc. I'd like to remind
people testing with 4.6 that if they move to testing with GCC 5 then
it will probably be about four years before they need to update the
compiler they use to test glibc again.
Although on the principles of time-based updates I think a move to
requiring binutils 2.23 would be reasonable, I'm not currently aware
of any cleanups that would facilitate so am not proposing that at this
time (but would expect to propose a move to requiring binutils 2.24 in
a year's time, as that brings features such as AVX512 support that
should allow some conditionals to be cleaned up). If someone thinks a
move to requiring 2.23 would help clean things up for their
architecture, please speak up. (And in general, I suspect there are
lots of architecture-specific configure tests that could be removed on
the basis of current GCC and binutils version requirements, given how
I've found architecture-independent tests obsolete on the basis of
version requirements going back 20 years.)
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 4.7 or later.
* configure: Regenerated.
* manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document
requirement for GCC 4.7 or later.
* INSTALL: Regenerated.
There seemed to be support in response to
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00510.html> for
removing configure tests that exist only to produce errors, where we
expect that tool versions failing the tests would also fail the tests
of minimum GCC / binutils versions.
This patch removes the tests for TLS support as one instance of such
tests. Since the addition of TLS emulation support in GCC 4.3, I
don't think these tests would have failed even if proper TLS support
(as required by glibc) was missing in that architecture's GCC back
end, so any new glibc ports wanting a substantive test (if there are
actual GCC or binutils versions for those architectures, with
supported version numbers, missing TLS support) would have needed an
architecture-specific test anyway.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_gcc___thread): Remove configure test.
(libc_cv_gcc_tls_model_attr): Likewise.
* configure: Regenerated.
There is a configure test for "whether we need to use -P to assemble
.S files".
I think this test is long obsolete. I don't have a specific reference
to a binutils change or version that obsoleted this test, but: (a) we
only support GNU binutils; (b) it looks like every architecture
supported by glibc has '#' as a line comment character in its gas
port; (c) in any case, if the (compiler, assembler) combination in use
cannot compile a .S file without special options, that would clearly
be a substantially broken combination, which I don't think we need to
allow for at all.
The test in question was added by:
Thu Jan 27 16:46:03 1994 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu)
* configure.in (asm-CPPFLAGS): Add new check to see if assembling
a .S file loses without -P. If so, set asm-CPPFLAGS=-P in config.make.
This patch removes the test and the reference to this issue in the
comment on the default empty definition of asm-CPPFLAGS. (Various
other settings of asm-CPPFLAGS remain in sysdeps Makefile fragments.)
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_need_minus_P): Remove configure test.
* configure: Regenerated.
* Makeconfig (asm-CPPFLAGS): Remove reference to -P in comment.
There is a configure test for the presence of glibc 2.0 headers (that
were renamed / no longer installed in glibc 2.1) and associated
support for removing them on "make install".
Normal practice for subsequent removal / renaming of installed files
has been not to do anything special about removing them; if you want
installed files from an old installation removed reliably, you need to
use a packaging system that tracks what files were installed by a
previous glibc package (via installing in an intermediate directory
with install_root). I think it's been long enough since 2.0 that it's
not particularly useful to have that special logic for those old
headers either; this patch removes it.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* configure.ac (old_glibc_headers): Remove configure test.
* configure: Regenerated.
* config.make.in (old-glibc-headers): Remove variable.

(install): Remove dependency on remove-old-headers.
(headers2_0): Remove variable.
(remove-old-headers): Remove rule.
There is a configure test for assembler support for the .text
directive.
I suppose this test must have been aimed at some non-ELF platform or
non-GNU assembler. Certainly the GNU assembler has had ELF-specific
architecture-independent handling for .text since version 2.2, and
generic non-ELF-specific support predates that.
This patch removes this test as obsolete.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_dot_text): Remove configure test.
(libc_cv_asm_set_directive): Use .text instead of
${libc_cv_dot_text} in configure test.
* configure: Regenerated.
There is a configure test for assembler support for the
gnu_unique_object symbol type. This support was added in binutils
2.20, so is present in all versions supported for building glibc.
Thus, I think the configure test can be removed; this patch does so.
Now, there is a caveat that the gas NEWS entry refers to this as a
feature for GNU/Linux targets. But the condition is use of
ELFOSABI_GNU or ELFOSABI_NONE. ELFOSABI_GNU covers Hurd as well as
GNU/Linux (as was the case with the older ELFOSABI_LINUX name), and
ELFOSABI_NONE means this is effectively OS-independent. Furthermore,
I think a correct binutils port for any glibc target ought to support
this feature for use with glibc; glibc supports this as an
OS-independent feature (the configure test is only about glibc
testcases).
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_unique_object): Remove configure test.
* configure: Regenerated.

With gcc-4.9, a new -fstack-protector-strong flag is available that is
between -fstack-protector (pretty weak) and -fstack-protector-all (pretty
strong) that provides good trade-offs between overhead but still providing
good coverage. Update the places in glibc that use ssp to use this flag
when it's available.
This also kills off the indirection of hardcoding the flag name in the
Makefiles and adding it based on a have-ssp boolean. Instead, the build
always expands the $(stack-protector) variable to the best ssp setting.
This makes the build logic a bit simpler and allows people to easily set
to a diff flag like:
make stack-protector=-fstack-protector-all
There is a configure test for -fgnu89-inline. This option was added
in GCC 4.2, so the test is obsolete; this patch removes it.

There are configure tests for assembler .weak support, and, as a
fallback, for .weakext support.
.weakext appears to be an ECOFF thing (although a few ELF targets
support it as well). .weak has been supported by the GNU assembler
for ELF targets since version 2.2, so given the requirement for ELF
the configure tests are obsolete; this patch removes them.

to pop back to it. Handle unquoted section name as well as quoted
section name. Don't crash on invalid strings.
(obj_pseudo_table): Handle new pseudos "previous", "2byte", and
"4byte".

(and with it the fallback .popsection test).

There is a configure test for -static-libgcc. GCC added this option
in version 3.0, so this test is obsolete; this patch removes it.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).

There is a configure test "for libc-friendly stddef.h", which sets a
makefile variable stddef.h that appears to be nowhere used. It
appears the uses of this variable were removed by:

* Makefile (headers): Remove $(stddef.h).
* Makeconfig (stddef.h): Variable removed; now require gcc version
>= 2.2.

so the test was of use for less than two years, before being obsolete
for over 20 years). This patch removes the test.

Some distros build+install the timezone tools (zic/zdump/tzselect) outside
of glibc and use the upstream package directly. Add a configure flag to
glibc so they can disable install of those tools.
This allows tests to run & pass regardless of the configure flag. Only
the install of them is impacted.
To support building glibc with GCC 6 configured with --enable-default-pie,
which generates PIE by default, we need to build programs as PIE. But
elf/tst-dlopen-aout must not be built as PIE since it tests dlopen on
ET_EXEC file and PIE is ET_DYN.
[BZ #17841]
* Makeconfig (no-pie-ldflag): New.
(+link): Set to $(+link-pie) if default to PIE.
(+link-tests): Set to $(+link-pie-tests) if default to PIE.
* config.make.in (build-pie-default): New.
* configure.ac (libc_cv_pie_default): New. Set to yes if -fPIE
is default. AC_SUBST.
* configure: Regenerated.
* elf/Makefile (LDFLAGS-tst-dlopen-aout): New.
Installation of libm.so as linker script only in case of libmvec.so build.

* Makeconfig (rpath-dirs, all-subdirs): Added mathvec folder.
(libmvec): New variable.
* configure.ac: Added option for mathvec build.
* configure: Regenerated.
* mathvec/Depend: New file.
* mathvec/Makefile: New file.
* shlib-versions: Added libmvec.
* math/Makefile: Added rule for libm.so installation.
Linkers in some versions of binutils 2.25 and 2.26 don't support protected
data symbol with error messsage like:
/usr/bin/ld: copy reloc against protected `bar' is invalid
/usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value
We check if linker supports copy reloc against protected data symbol to
avoid running the test if linker is broken.
[BZ #17711]
* config.make.in (have-protected-data): New.
* configure.ac: Check linker support for protected data symbol.
* configure: Regenerated.
* elf/Makefile (modules-names): Add tst-protected1moda and
tst-protected1modb if $(have-protected-data) is yes.
(tests): Add tst-protected1a and tst-protected1b if
$(have-protected-data) is yes.
($(objpfx)tst-protected1a): New.
($(objpfx)tst-protected1b): Likewise.
(tst-protected1modb.so-no-z-defs): Likewise.

* elf/tst-protected1b.c: Likewise.
* elf/tst-protected1mod.h: Likewise.
* elf/tst-protected1moda.c: Likewise.
* elf/tst-protected1modb.c: Likewise.
and revert the corresponding part of ba90e05 which was making the fix
necessary.
* abi-tags: Revert ae20c9a: rename back gnu into gnu-gnu.
* configure.ac, configure: Revert ba90e05: modify gnu-* host_os back
into gnu-gnu, and update comment to refer to abi-tags.
