27d83441a2 Block all signals on timer_create thread (BZ#10815)
The behavior of the signal mask on threads created by timer_create
for SIGEV_THREAD timers are implementation-defined and glibc explicit
unblocks all signals before calling the user-defined function.

This behavior, although not incorrect standard-wise, opens a race if a
program using a blocked rt-signal plus sigwaitinfo (and without an
installed signal handler for the rt-signal) receives a signal while
executing the used-defined function for SIGEV_THREAD.

A better alternative discussed in bug report is to rather block all
signals (besides the internal ones not available to application
usage).

This patch fixes this issue by only unblocking SIGSETXID (used on
set*uid function) and SIGCANCEL (used for thread cancellation).

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

8d42bf859a Fix tst-pkey expectations on pkey_get [BZ #23202]
From the GNU C Library manual, the pkey_set can receive a combination of
PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS.  However PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS
is more restrictive than PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and includes its behavior.

The test expects that after setting
(PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE|PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS) pkey_get should return the
same.  This may not be true as PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS will succeed in
describing the state of the key in this case.

The pkey behavior during signal handling is different between x86 and
POWER.  This change make the test compatible with both architectures.

7455b70027 y2038: linux: Provide __gettimeofday64 implementation
In the glibc the gettimeofday can use vDSO (on power and x86 the
USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY is defined), gettimeofday syscall or 'default'
___gettimeofday() from ./time/gettime.c (as a fallback).

In this patch the last function (___gettimeofday) has been refactored and
moved to ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/gettimeofday.c to be Linux specific.

The new __gettimeofday64 explicit 64 bit function for getting 64 bit time from
the kernel (by internally calling __clock_gettime64) has been introduced.

Moreover, a 32 bit version - __gettimeofday has been refactored to internally
use __gettimeofday64.

The __gettimeofday is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting 32
bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary check for time_t potential
overflow and conversion of struct __timeval64 to 32 bit struct timespec.

The iFUNC vDSO direct call optimization has been removed from both i686 and
powerpc32 (USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY is not defined for those architectures
anymore). The Linux kernel does not provide a y2038 safe implementation of
gettimeofday neither it plans to provide it in the future, clock_gettime64
should be used instead. Keeping support for this optimization would require
to handle another build permutation (!__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS &&
USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY) which adds more complexity and has limited use
(since the idea is to eventually have a y2038 safe glibc build).

Build tests:
./src/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py glibcs

Run-time tests:
- Run specific tests on ARM/x86 32bit systems (qemu):
  https://github.com/lmajewski/meta-y2038 and run tests:
  https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038-tests/commits/master

Above tests were performed with Y2038 redirection applied as well as without
to test proper usage of both __gettimeofday64 and __gettimeofday.

a492b1e5ef Linux: Work around kernel bugs in chmod on /proc/self/fd paths [BZ #14578]
It appears that the ability to change symbolic link modes through such

EOPNOTSUPP, even though the symbolic link permissions are updated.

f4349837d9 Introduce <elf-initfini.h> and ELF_INITFINI for all architectures
This supersedes the init_array sysdeps directory.  It allows us to
check for ELF_INITFINI in both C and assembler code, and skip DT_INIT
and DT_FINI processing completely on newer architectures.

A new header file is needed because <dl-machine.h> is incompatible
with assembler code.  <sysdep.h> is compatible with assembler code,
but it cannot be included in all assembler files because on some
architectures, it redefines register names, and some assembler files
conflict with that.

<elf-initfini.h> is replicated for legacy architectures which need
DT_INIT/DT_FINI support.  New architectures follow the generic default
and disable it.

e4a3999213 Prepare redirections for IEEE long double on powerpc64le
All functions that have a format string, which can consume a long double
argument, must have one version for each long double format supported on
a platform.  On powerpc64le, these functions currently have two versions
(i.e.: long double with the same format as double, and long double with
IBM Extended Precision format).  Support for a third long double format
option (i.e. long double with IEEE long double format) is being prepared
and all the aforementioned functions now have a third version (not yet
exported on the master branch, but the code is in).

For these functions to get selected (during build time), references to
them in user programs (or dependent libraries) must get redirected to
the aforementioned new versions of the functions.  This patch installs
the header magic required to perform such redirections.

Notice, however, that since the redirections only happen when
__LONG_DOUBLE_USES_FLOAT128 is set to 1, and no platform (including
powerpc64le) currently does it, no redirections actually happen.
Redirections and the exporting of the new functions will happen at the
same time (when powerpc64le adds ldbl-128ibm-compat to their Implies.

3a0ecccb59 ld.so: Do not export free/calloc/malloc/realloc functions [BZ #25486]
Exporting functions and relying on symbol interposition from libc.so
makes the choice of implementation dependent on DT_NEEDED order, which
is not what some compiler drivers expect.

This commit replaces one magic mechanism (symbol interposition) with
another one (preprocessor-/compiler-based redirection).  This makes
the hand-over from the minimal malloc to the full malloc more
explicit.

Removing the ABI symbols is backwards-compatible because libc.so is
always in scope, and the dynamic loader will find the malloc-related
symbols there since commit f0b2132b35
("ld.so: Support moving versioned symbols between sonames
[BZ #24741]").

5d844e1b72 i386: Enable CET support in ucontext functions
1. getcontext and swapcontext are updated to save the caller's shadow
stack pointer and return address.
2. setcontext and swapcontext are updated to restore shadow stack and
jump to new context directly.
3. makecontext is updated to allocate a new shadow stack and set the
caller's return address to the helper code, L(exitcode).
4. Since we no longer save and restore EAX, ECX and EDX in getcontext,
setcontext and swapcontext, we can use them as scratch register slots
to enable CET in ucontext functions.

Since makecontext allocates a new shadow stack when making a new
context and kernel allocates a new shadow stack for clone/fork/vfork
syscalls, we track the current shadow stack base.  In setcontext and
swapcontext, if the target shadow stack base is the same as the current
shadow stack base, we unwind the shadow stack.  Otherwise it is a stack
switch and we look for a restore token.

We enable shadow stack at run-time only if program and all used shared
objects, including dlopened ones, are shadow stack enabled, which means
that they must be compiled with GCC 8 or above and glibc 2.28 or above.
We need to save and restore shadow stack only if shadow stack is enabled.
When caller of getcontext, setcontext, swapcontext and makecontext is
compiled with smaller ucontext_t, shadow stack won't be enabled at
run-time.  We check if shadow stack is enabled before accessing the
extended field in ucontext_t.

Tested on i386 CET/non-CET machines.

c624d23260 Add a generic scalb implementation
This is a preparatory patch to enable building a _Float128
variant to ease reuse when building a _Float128 variant to
alias this long double only symbol.

Notably, stubs are added where missing to the native _Float128
sysdep dir to prevent building these newly templated variants
created inside the build directories.

Also noteworthy are the changes around LIBM_SVID_COMPAT.  These
changes are not intuitive.  The templated version is only
enabled when !LIBM_SVID_COMPAT, and the compat version is
predicated entirely on LIBM_SVID_COMPAT.  Thus, exactly one is
stubbed out entirely when building.  The nldbl scalb compat
files are updated to account for this.

Likewise, fixup the reuse of m68k's e_scalb{f,l}.c to include
it's override of e_scalb.c.  Otherwise, the search path finds
the templated copy in the build directory.  This could be
futher simplified by providing an overridden template, but I

As I discussed in

heuristic argument suggests 2^(S+P) as the right order of magnitude
for a suitable threshold, where S is the number of significand bits in
the floating-point type and P is the number of significant bits in the
representation of the floating-point type, and the float and ldbl-96
implementations use thresholds that are too small.  Some threshold
does need using, there or elsewhere in the implementation, to avoid
spurious underflow and overflow for large arguments.

This patch sets the thresholds in the affected implementations to more
heuristically justifiable values.  Results will still be inaccurate
close to zeroes of the functions (thus this patch does *not* fix any
of the bugs for Bessel function inaccuracy); fixing that would require
a different implementation approach, likely along the lines described
in <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~jrh13/papers/bessel.ps.gz>.

So the justification for a change such as this would be statistical
rather than based on particular tests that had excessive errors and no
longer do so (no doubt such tests could be found, but would probably
be too fragile to add to the testsuite, as liable to give large errors
again from very small implementation changes or even from compiler
changes).  See
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2020-02/msg00638.html> for such
statistics of the resulting improvements for float functions.

Tested (glibc testsuite) for x86_64.

fa00db0a6e resolv: Fix ABA race in /etc/resolv.conf change detection [BZ #25420]
__resolv_conf_get_current should only record the initial file
change data if after verifying that file just read matches the
original measurement.  Fixes commit aef16cc8a4
("resolv: Automatically reload a changed /etc/resolv.conf file
[BZ #984]").
