Only gaih_inet() and gaih_inet_serv() use a special bit flag denoted
by the GAIH_OKIFUNSPEC macro. Only the return value of
gaih_inet_serv() is actively checked for the bit flag which is
redundant because it just copies the nonzero property of the value
otherwise returned. The return value of gaih_inet() is only checked
for being zero and then the bit flag is filtered out. As the bit flag
is set only for otherwise nonzero return values, it doesn't affect the
zero comparison. GAIH_EAI just an alias to ~GAIH_OKIFUNSPEC.
AF_INET lookup in hosts file uses _nss_files_gethostbyname2_r, which
is not capable of returning a canonical name if it has found one.
This change adds _nss_files_gethostbyname3_r, which wraps around
_nss_files_gethostbyname2_r and then returns result.h_name as the
canonical name.
The event code is PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP, not PTRAVE_EVENT_SECCOMP.
This patch fixes the V->C typo. There are no ABI issues since the
number remains the same for the code. Code using the old wrong
name will need to be updated.
This patch helps some math functions performance by adding the libc_fexxx
variant of inline functions to handle both FPU round and exception set/restore
and by using them on the libc_fexxx_ctx functions. It is based on already coded
fexxx family functions for PPC with fpu.

As detailed in PR11157, the use of '__block' is known to interfere
with keywords in some environments, such as the Clang -fblocks extension.
Recently a similar issue was raised concerning the use of '__unused'
and a '__glibc' prefix was proposed to create a glibc implementation
namespace for these sorts of issues [1]. This patches takes that
approach.

On hppa and ia64, the macro DL_AUTO_FUNCTION_ADDRESS() uses the
variable fptr[2] in it's own scope.
The content of fptr[] is thus undefined right after the macro exits.
Newer gcc's (>= 4.7) reuse the stack space of this variable triggering
a segmentation fault in dl-init.c:69.
To fix this we rewrite the macros to make the call directly to init
and fini without needing to pass back a constructed function pointer.
Not all architectures define this value, and if they don't,
just let the test run the same as test-fpucw, with __fpu_control
set to _FPU_DEFAULT explicitly.
[BZ #16150]
* sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/multiarch/add_n.S: Resolve to the correct generic
symbol in the non-vis3 case in static builds.
* sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/multiarch/addmul_1.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/multiarch/mul_1.S: Likewise.

* sysdeps/sparc/sparc64/multiarch/submul_1.S: Likewise.
This patch fixes the vDSO symbol used directed in IFUNC resolver where
they do not have an associated ODP entry leading to undefined behavior
in some cases. It adds an artificial OPD static entry to such cases
and set its TOC to non 0 to avoid triggering lazy resolutions.
We cannot use fnegd in this code, as fnegd was added in v9.
Only fnegs exists in v8 and earlier.
[BZ #15985]
* sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/fpu/s_fdim.S (__fdim): Do not use fnegd
on pre-v9 cpus, use a fnegs+fmovs sequence instead.
The register keyword doesn't add any information to the examples
and is not useful for modern compilers.
ChangeLog:

* manual/memory.texi (Malloc Examples): Remove register
keyword from examples.
A very large alignment argument passed to mealign/posix_memalign
causes _int_memalign to enter an infinite loop. Limit the maximum
alignment value to the maximum representable power of two to
prevent this from happening.

[BZ #16038]
* malloc/hooks.c (memalign_check): Limit alignment to the
maximum representable power of two.

* malloc/tst-memalign.c (do_test): Add test for very
large alignment values.
* malloc/tst-posix_memalign.c (do_test): Likewise.
Currently for AF_INET lookups from the hosts file, buffer sizes larger
than INT_MAX silently overflow and may result in access beyond bounds
of a buffer. This happens when the number of results in an AF_INET
lookup in /etc/hosts are very large.
There are two aspects to the problem. One problem is that the size
computed from the buffer size is stored into an int, which results in
overflow for large sizes. Additionally, even if this size was
expanded, the function used to read content into the buffer (fgets)
accepts only int sizes. As a result, the fix is to have a function
wrap around fgets that calls it multiple times with int sizes if
necessary.
Autoconf has been deprecating configure.in for quite a long time.
Rename all our configure.in and preconfigure.in files to .ac.

A more comprehensive set of inputs for exp, including all slow paths.
The inputs have been shuffled so that they don't give a false-positive
due to a hot cache.
This patch intends to unify both strcpy and stpcpy implementationsi
for PPC64 and PPC64/POWER7. The idead default powerpc64 implementation
is to provide both doubleword and word aligned memory access.
For PPC64/POWER7 is also provide doubleword and word memory access,
remove the branch hints, use the cmpb instruction for compare
doubleword/words, and add an optimization for inputs of same alignment.
Resolves#16072 (CVE-2013-4458).
This patch fixes another stack overflow in getaddrinfo when it is
called with AF_INET6. The AF_UNSPEC case was fixed as CVE-2013-1914,
but the AF_INET6 case went undetected back then.
[BZ #9954]
With the following /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 www.my-domain.es
127.0.1.1 www.my-domain.es
192.168.0.1 www.my-domain.es
Using getaddrinfo() on www.my-domain.es, trigger the following assertion:
../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:1473: rfc3484_sort: Assertion
`src->results[i].native == -1 || src->results[i].native == a1_native' failed.
This is due to two different bugs:
- In rfc3484_sort() rule 7, src->results[i].native is assigned even if
src->results[i].index is -1, meaning that no interface is associated.
- In getaddrinfo() the source IP address used with the lo interface needs a
special case, as it can be any IP within 127.X.Y.Z.
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.
The localedef --list-archive option claims that it can
accept a [file] argument and list the contents of that
archive. The support was never implemented. This patch
adds that support and allows --list-archive to work as
expected. You can now use localedef to list the contents
of arbitrary locale archives by using:
./localedef --list-archive file
It was noted in 2005 (BZ #832), 2006 (BZ #3266), and 2007 [1] that ldd
fails on shells other than Bash >= 3.0 because of the pipefail option
around try_trace (added on 2004-12-08). EGLIBC was patched in 2008 [2]
(r6912) to make the pipefail check run only on shells that support it,
but RTLD output would still be lost on other shells with certain SELinux
policies.
This patch rewrites try_trace to work on any POSIX-conformant shell in
such a way as to also work with such SELinux policies. It also obviates
one difference between glibc and EGLIBC.

[BZ #832]
* elf/ldd.bash.in (try_trace): More robustly and portably work around
SELinux terminal write permissions by using a command substitution
instead of a pipeline and pipefail option.
Add systemtap probes to various slow paths in libm so that application
developers may use systemtap to find out if their applications are
hitting these slow paths. We have added probes for pow, exp, log,
tan, atan and atan2.
Partially revert commits 2b766585f9 and
de2fd463b1, which were intended to fix BZ#11741
but caused another, likely worse bug, namely that fwrite() and fputs() could,
in an error path, read data beyond the end of the specified buffer, and
potentially even write this data to the file.
Fix BZ#11741 properly by checking the return value from _IO_padn() in
stdio-common/vfprintf.c.
A large value of bytes passed to memalign_check can cause an integer
overflow in _int_memalign and heap corruption. This issue can be
exposed by running tst-memalign with MALLOC_CHECK_=3.
ChangeLog:
2013-10-10 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* malloc/hooks.c (memalign_check): Ensure the value of bytes
passed to _int_memalign does not overflow.
This adds the "include-sources" directive to scripts/bench.pl. This
allows for including source code (vs including headers, which might get
a different search path) after the inclusion of any headers.
