e256c4214c manual/memory.texi: Remove register keyword from examples. 
The register keyword doesn't add any information to the examples
and is not useful for modern compilers.

ChangeLog:

2013-11-06  Will Newton  <will.newton@linaro.org>

	* manual/memory.texi (Malloc Examples): Remove register
	keyword from examples.

3d7dc513b7 Mention FIPS 140-2 compliance and Sun RPC. 
The Secure RPC implementation in glibc uses DES encryption
during authentication of the user. This use of DES means
that anyone using Sun RPC will likely not be compliant
with FIPS 140-2 which forbids the use of DES.

One solution to the compliance issue is to disable AUTH_DES
and AUTH_KERB, both use DES, when in FIPS compliance mode.
This is not a good idea because it disables all of the even
mildly secure methods of authentication allowing only plain
text methods.

Instead we leave AUTH_DES and AUTH_KERB enabled in FIPS
compliance mode and document the compliance issue in the
manual. FIPS allows this, that is to say that if you can't
fix it you must document the non-compliance.

This commit adds documentation to that effect in the
"DES encryption and password handling" section of the
manual.

e4608715e6 CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown. 
The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another
user's pseudo-terminal.

Pre-conditions for the attack:

 * Attacker with local user account
 * Kernel with FUSE support
 * "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf
 * Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts

Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file
descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and
trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current
user does not own.  It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however.

In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts
is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building
and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option
to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own
risk.

d9dc34cd56 Manual for platform-specific features and new __ppc_get_timebase inline. 
[BZ #13743]
A new class of installed headers has been documented for low-level
platform-specific functionality.  PowerPC added the first instance with a
function to provide time base register access (__ppc_get_timebase).  This
is required for applications that measure time at high frequencies with
high precision that can't afford a syscall.
