Since all feature checks are done through macros, programs compiled with
a newer <sys/platform/x86.h> are compatible with the older glibc binaries
as long as the layout of struct cpu_features is identical.  The features
array can be expanded with backward binary compatibility for both .o and
.so files.  When COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX is increased to support new
processor features, __x86_get_cpu_features in the older glibc binaries
returns NULL and HAS_CPU_FEATURE/CPU_FEATURE_USABLE return false on the
new processor feature.  No new symbol version is neeeded.

Both CPU_FEATURE_USABLE and HAS_CPU_FEATURE are provided.  HAS_CPU_FEATURE
can be used to identify processor features.

Note: Although GCC has __builtin_cpu_supports, it only supports a subset
of <sys/platform/x86.h> and it is equivalent to CPU_FEATURE_USABLE.  It
doesn't support HAS_CPU_FEATURE.

42c9e9af22 aarch64: update NEWS about branch protection
After some discussions it seems the original news was not clear
and that it is valid to manually pass the branch protection flags
iff GCC target libs are built with them too. The main difference
between manually passing the flags and using the configure
option is that the latter also makes branch protection the
default in GCC which may not be desirable in some cases.

efedd1ed3d Linux: Remove rseq support
The kernel ABI is not finalized, and there are now various proposals
to change the size of struct rseq, which would make the glibc ABI
dependent on the version of the kernels used for building glibc.
This is of course not acceptable.

This reverts commit 48699da1c4 ("elf:
Support at least 32-byte alignment in static dlopen"), commit
8f4632deb3 ("Linux: rseq registration
tests"), commit 6e29cb3f61 ("Linux: Use

5500cdba40 Remove --enable-obsolete-rpc configure flag
Sun RPC was removed from glibc. This includes rpcgen program, librpcsvc,
and Sun RPC headers. Also test for bug #20790 was removed
(test for rpcgen).

Backward compatibility for old programs is kept only for architectures
and ABIs that have been added in or before version 2.28.

libtirpc is mature enough, librpcsvc and rpcgen are provided in
rpcsvc-proto project.

NOTE: libnsl code depends on Sun RPC (installed libnsl headers use
installed Sun RPC headers), thus --enable-obsolete-rpc was a dependency
for --enable-obsolete-nsl (removed in a previous commit).

The arc ABI list file has to be updated because the port was added
with the sunrpc symbols

ae7a94e5e3 Remove --enable-obsolete-nsl configure flag
this means that *always* libnsl is only built as shared library for

This compatibility is kept only for architectures and ABIs that have

Replacement implementations based on TIRPC, which additionally support
IPv6, are available from <https://github.com/thkukuk/>.

This change does not affect libnss_compat which does not depended

extra comment token in linker script file.  It disantangle the code
generation from manual and simplify both Linux and Hurd compat code.

The definitions from errlist.c are moved to errlist.h and a new test

706ad1e7af Add the __libc_single_threaded variable
The variable is placed in libc.so, and it can be true only in
an outer libc, not libcs loaded via dlmopen or static dlopen.
Since thread creation from inner namespaces does not work,
pthread_create can update __libc_single_threaded directly.

Using __libc_early_init and its initial flag, implementation of this
variable is very straightforward.  A future version may reset the flag
during fork (but not in an inner namespace), or after joining all
threads except one.

0c76fc3c2b Linux: Perform rseq registration at C startup and thread creation
Register rseq TLS for each thread (including main), and unregister for
each thread (excluding main).  "rseq" stands for Restartable Sequences.

See the rseq(2) man page proposed here:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/19/647

Those are based on glibc master branch commit 3ee1e0ec5c.
The rseq system call was merged into Linux 4.18.

The TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS define is increased to leave additional room for
dlopen'd initial-exec TLS, which keeps elf/tst-auditmany working.

The increase (76 bytes) is larger than 32 bytes because it has not been
increased in quite a while.  The cost in terms of additional TLS storage
is quite significant, but it will also obscure some initial-exec-related
dlopen failures.

051be01f6b powerpc64le: Enable support for IEEE long double
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.

50545f5aa0 powerpc64le: raise GCC requirement to 7.4 for long double transition
Add compiler feature tests to ensure we can build ieee128 long double.
These test for -mabi=ieeelongdouble, -mno-gnu-attribute, and -Wno-psabi.

Likewise, verify some compiler bugs have been addressed.  These aren't
helpful for building glibc, but may cause test failures when testing
the new long double.  See notes below from Raji.

On powerpc64le, some older compiler versions give error for the function
signbit() for 128-bit floating point types.  This is fixed by PR83862
in gcc 8.0 and backported to gcc6 and gcc7.  This patch adds a test
to check compiler version to avoid compiler errors during make check.

Likewise, test for -mno-gnu-attribute support which was

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.

    mips: Force RWX stack for hard-float builds that can run on pre-4.8 kernels

and probably requires a small explanation.

Revise NEWS description of changes to gettimeofday etc.
Mostly English grammar and style improvements.  The bullet list is
reorganized a little for clarity.  The details of exactly which
Linux-based ports still report system-wide time zone information
from gettimeofday has been removed, as this is not intended to be
something people should rely on.

Also clarify the deprecation of older SPARC ISAs, based on the fact
that “SPARC version 7” is actually the very first version of the SPARC
ISA (Sun Microsystems was very fond of letting the marketing
department pick version numbers).

97ff54d2fc Drop dependency of dist target on ChangeLog
We no longer write manual ChangeLog entries since they are
auto-generated at release time.  Drop dependency of the `make dist`
target on the file and document the fact that the latest ChangeLog
entries can be read in the highest numbered ChangeLog.N file in
ChangeLog.old.

The ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.20 file for 2.31 will thus be generated
just before tagging a release.

a1bd5f8673 Linux: Use system call tables during build
Use <arch-syscall.h> instead of <asm/unistd.h> to obtain the system
call numbers.  A few direct includes of <asm/unistd.h> need to be
removed (if the system call numbers are already provided indirectly
by <sysdep.h>) or replaced with <sys/syscall.h>.

Current Linux headers for alpha define the required system call names,
so most of the _NR_* hacks are no longer needed.  For the 32-bit arm
architecture, eliminate the INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ARM macro, now that we
have regular system call names for cacheflush and set_tls.  There are
more such cleanup opportunities for other architectures, but these
cleanups are required to avoid macro redefinition errors during the
build.

For ia64, it is desirable to use <asm/break.h> directly to obtain
the break number for system calls (which is not a system call number
itself).  This requires replacing __BREAK_SYSCALL with
__IA64_BREAK_SYSCALL because the former is defined as an alias in
<asm/unistd.h>, but not in <asm/break.h>.
