On platforms where long double may have two different formats, i.e.: the
same format as double (64-bits) or something else (128-bits), building
with -mlong-double-128 is the default and function calls in the user
program match the name of the function in Glibc. When building with
-mlong-double-64, Glibc installed headers redirect such calls to the
appropriate function.
Likewise, the internals of glibc are now built against IEEE long double.
However, the only (minimally) notable usage of long double is difftime.

On powerpc64le, some older compiler versions give error for the function

On powerpc64le, a few files are built on IEEE long double mode
(-mabi=ieeelongdouble), whereas most are built on IBM long double mode
(-mabi=ibmlongdouble, the default for -mlong-double-128). Since binutils
2.31, linking object files with different long double modes causes
errors similar to:
ld: libc_pic.a(s_isinfl.os) uses IBM long double,
libc_pic.a(ieee128-qefgcvt.os) uses IEEE long double.
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../Makerules:649: libc_pic.os] Error 1
The warnings are fair and correct, but in order for glibc to have
support for both long double modes on powerpc64le, they have to be
ignored. This can be accomplished with the use of -mno-gnu-attribute
option when building the few files that require IEEE long double mode.
However, -mno-gnu-attribute is not available in GCC 6, the minimum
version required to build glibc, so this patch adds a test for this
feature in powerpc64le builds, and fails early if it's not available.

X32 has 32-bit long and pointer with 64-bit off_t. Since x32 psABI
requires that pointers passed in registers must be zero-extended to
64bit, x32 can share many syscall interfaces with LP64. When a LP64
syscall with long and unsigned long int arguments is used for x32, these
arguments must be properly extended to 64-bit. Otherwise if the upper
32 bits of the register have undefined value, such a syscall will be
rejected by kernel.
For syscalls implemented in assembly codes, 'U' is added to syscall
signature key letters for unsigned long, which is zero-extended to
64-bit types. SYSCALL_ULONG_ARG_1 and SYSCALL_ULONG_ARG_2 are passed
to syscall-template.S for the first and the second unsigned long int
arguments if PSEUDOS_HAVE_ULONG_INDICES is defined. They are used by
x32 to zero-extend 32-bit arguments to 64 bits.
Tested on i386, x86-64 and x32 as well as with build-many-glibcs.py.
Being not familiar with the glibc repository, I typed "make" inside some
subdirectory that has a Makefile, and was met with:
$ make

At Makeconfig:42, we have:
objdir must be defined by the build-directory Makefile.
Change that to use $(error ...), which I guess was the original
intention. The result is:
$ make
../Makeconfig:42: *** objdir must be defined by the build-directory Makefile. Stop.
This change should not have an effect because the system call was
never defined. Also add the misssing attribute_compat_text_section
attribute to the sstk function (a minor optimization). Also update the
NEWS file to document the change.
Fixes commit 9cc93ba097
("misc: Turn sstk into a compat symbol").
This patch removes the IEEE_DOUBLE_BIG_ENDIAN and
IEEE_DOUBLE_MIXED_ENDIAN macros from gmp-impl.h and gmp-mparam.h, and
the ieee_double_extract union from gmp-impl.h. The macros were used
only in defining the union, which was used nowhere in glibc. As GMP's
gmp-impl.h is over 5000 lines, the file in glibc is so far from the
GMP version that it doesn't seem to make sense to keep things there
that are not relevant in glibc. (I expect there is plenty more in the
header after this patch that is also not relevant in glibc and can be
cleaned up later.)
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by this patch.
On the current AArch64 buildbot the default 20s timeout is not
enough to run this test, it seems
make test t=locale/tst-localedef-path-norm
takes about 25s, so i increased the timeout to 30s.
It is not implemented anywhere. There is an osf_sstk system call on
alpha, but it is not used to implement sstk, and the system call
is not implemented on Linux, either.
New threads inherit the signal mask from the current thread. This
means that signal handlers can run on the newly created thread
immediately after the kernel has created the userspace thread, even
before glibc has initialized the TCB. Consequently, new threads can
observe uninitialized ctype data, among other things.
To address this, block all signals before starting the thread, and
pass the original signal mask to the start routine wrapper. On the
new thread, first perform all thread initialization, and then unblock
signals.
The cost of doing this is two rt_sigprocmask system calls on the old
thread, and one rt_sigprocmask system call on the new thread. (If
there was a way to clone a new thread with a signals disabled, this
could be brought down to one system call each.) The thread descriptor
increases in size, too, and sigset_t is fairly large. This increase
could be brought down by reusing space the in the descriptor which is
not needed before running user code, or by switching to an internal
sigset_t definition which only covers the signals supported by the
kernel definition. (Part of the thread descriptor size increase is
already offset by reduced stack usage in the thread start wrapper
routine after this commit.)

During testing of localedef running in a minimal container
there were several error cases which were hard to diagnose
since they appeared as strerror (errno) values printed by the
higher level functions. This change adds three new verbose
messages for potential failure paths. The new messages give
the user the opportunity to use -v and display additional
information about why localedef might be failing. I found
these messages useful myself while writing a localedef
container test for --no-hard-links.
Since the changes cleanup the code that handle codeset
normalization we add tst-localedef-path-norm which contains
many sub-tests to verify the correct expected normalization of
codeset strings both when installing to default paths (the
only time normalization is enabled) and installing to absolute
paths. During the refactoring I created at least one
buffer-overflow which valgrind caught, but these tests did not
catch because the exec in the container had a very clean heap
with zero-initialized memory. However, between valgrind and
the tests the results are clean.
The new tst-localedef-path-norm passes without regression on
x86_64.

Most gmp-mparam.h headers in glibc define various macros to the same
values they would be defined to by the generic version of that header,
plus macros IEEE_DOUBLE_BIG_ENDIAN or IEEE_DOUBLE_MIXED_ENDIAN related
to the representation of double. The latter macros are in turn only
used in gmp-impl.h to define union ieee_double_extract, which is not
used in glibc. Thus all of these headers, except for the generic one
and those that define _LONG_LONG_LIMB for ILP32 configurations with
64-bit registers, are redundant, and this patch removes them.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed stripped shared

This function is defined in libc.so, and the dynamic loader calls
right after relocation has been finished, before any ELF constructors
or the preinit function is invoked. It is also used in the static
build for initializing parts of the static libc.
To locate __libc_early_init, a direct symbol lookup function is used,
_dl_lookup_direct. It does not search the entire symbol scope and
consults merely a single link map. This function could also be used
to implement lookups in the vDSO (as an optimization).
A per-namespace variable (libc_map) is added for locating libc.so,
to avoid repeated traversals of the search scope. It is similar to
GL(dl_initfirst). An alternative would have been to thread a context
argument from _dl_open down to _dl_map_object_from_fd (where libc.so
is identified). This could have avoided the global variable, but
the change would be larger as a result. It would not have been
possible to use this to replace GL(dl_initfirst) because that global
variable is used to pass the function pointer past the stack switch
from dl_main to the main program. Replacing that requires adding
a new argument to _dl_init, which in turn needs changes to the
architecture-specific libc.so startup code written in assembler.
__libc_early_init should not be used to replace _dl_var_init (as
it exists today on some architectures). Instead, _dl_lookup_direct
should be used to look up a new variable symbol in libc.so, and
that should then be initialized from the dynamic loader, immediately
after the object has been loaded in _dl_map_object_from_fd (before
relocation is run). This way, more IFUNC resolvers which depend on
these variables will work.

The exported x86_64 fenv.h functions operate on both i387 and SSE (since
they should work on both float, double, and long double) while the
internal libc_fe* set either SSE (float, double, and float128) or
i387 (long double).
The libgcc __sfp_handle_exceptions (used on float128 implementation),
however, will set either SEE or i387 exception depending of the
exception to raise. This broke the internal assumption of float128
where only SSE operations will be used.
This patch reimplements the libgcc __sfp_handle_exceptions to use only
SSE operations and sets libgcc to use it instead of its own
implementation.
And I think we should fix libgcc in a similar manner, since checking on
config/i386/64/sfp-machine.h it already only supports SSE rounding mode
and x86_64 ABI also expectes float128 to use SSE registers [1]
(although it is not clear on how future implementation might implement
it).
