When installing glibc (w/mathvec enabled) in-place on a system with
a glibc w/out mathvec enabled, the install will clobber the existing
libm.so (e.g., /lib64/libm-2.21.so) with a linker script. This is
because libm.so is a symlink to libm.so.6 which is a symlink to the
final libm-2.21.so file. When the makefile writes the linker script
directly to libm.so, it gets clobbered.
The simple patch below to math/Makefile fixes this. It is based on
the nptl Makefile, which does exactly the same thing in a safer way.
Current Linux posix_spawn spawn do not test if the pid argument is
valid before trying to update it for success case. This patch fixes
it.
Tested on x86_64 and i686.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawnix): Fix invalid memory
access where posix_spawn success and pid argument is null.
* posix/tst-spawn.c (do_test): Add posix_spawn null pid argument for
success case.
* sysdeps/generic/dl-fcntl.h: New file, adds attribute_hidden to __open
and __fcntl.
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-fcntl.h: New file, adds attribute_hidden to
__fcntl only.
* include/fcntl.h [IS_IN (rtld)]: Include <dl-fcntl.h> instead of
adding attribute_hidden to __open and __fcntl.
Generating errnos.d does not actually need libc-modules.h.

"-include $(common-objpfx)libc-modules.h" from CPPFLAGS, and do not
depend on libc-modules.h,
Given current Linux kernel version requirements, we can assume the
presence of the eventfd2 syscall. This means that __ASSUME_EVENTFD2
can be removed, and a syscalls.list entry suffices for eventfd instead
of needing a .c file. This patch implements those changes.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (not that that means much, given the lack of
testsuite coverage for eventfd).
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h (__ASSUME_EVENTFD2):
Remove macro.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/eventfd.c: Remove file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list (eventfd): New syscall
entry.
Given current Linux kernel version requirements, we can always assume
the fallocate syscall to be available. This patch removes
__ASSUME_FALLOCATE and a test for whether __NR_fallocate is defined.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h (__ASSUME_FALLOCATE):
Remove macro.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64/posix_fallocate.c: Do not
include <kernel-features.h>.
[!__ASSUME_FALLOCATE]: Remove conditional code.
(posix_fallocate) [__NR_fallocate]: Make code unconditional.
When building on i686, x86_64, and arm, and with NDEBUG, or --with-cpu
there are various variables and functions which are unused based on
these settings.
This patch marks all such variables with __attribute__((unused)) to
avoid the compiler warnings when building with the aformentioned
options.
With current kernel version requirements, the ppoll Linux syscall can
be assumed to be present on all architectures; this patch removes the
__ASSUME_PPOLL macro and conditionals on it and on whether __NR_ppoll
is defined. (Note that the same can't yet be done for pselect,
because MicroBlaze only wired that up in the syscall table in 3.15.)
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h (__ASSUME_PPOLL):
Remove macro.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ppoll.c: Do not include
<kernel-features.h>.
[__NR_ppoll]: Make code unconditional.
[!__ASSUME_PPOLL]: Remove conditional code.
This patch adjusts the defaults for kernel-features.h macros relating
to availability of accept4, recvmmsg and sendmmsg. It is not intended
to affect which macros end up getting defined in any configuration.
At present, all architectures with syscalls for those functions need
to define __ASSUME_*_SYSCALL macros; in particular, any new
architecture needs its own kernel-features.h file for that purpose,
though it may not otherwise need such a header. Those macros are then
used together with __ASSUME_SOCKETCALL to define macros for whether
the functions in question are available.
This patch changes the defaults so that the syscalls are assumed to be
available by default with recent-enough kernels, and it is the
responsibility of architecture headers to undefine the macros if they
are unavailable in supported kernels at least as recent as the version
where the architecture-independent functionality was introduced. The
__ASSUME_<function> macros are defaulted similarly instead of being
defined based on other macros (defining based on other macros would no
longer work because the #undefs appear after the generic header is
included), so where the syscall being unavailable means the function
is unavailable this means the architecture header has to undefine the
__ASSUME_<function> macro; this only affects __ASSUME_ACCEPT4 for
ia64, as other cases where the syscalls were added late enough to be
relevant with current kernel version requirements are all on
socketcall architectures.
As a consequence, the AArch64 and Nios II kernel-features.h header
files are removed, and others simplified. When the minimum kernel
version becomes 4.3 or later on all architectures, the syscalls in
question can just be assumed unconditionally, permitting further
simplification.
Tested for x86_64, x86 and powerpc (that installed shared libraries
are unchanged by the patch, and testsuite for x86_64 and x86).

A large number of the test-ldouble failures seen for ldbl-128ibm are
spurious "underflow" and "inexact" exceptions. These arise from such
exceptions in the underlying arithmetic; unlike other spurious
exceptions from that arithmetic, they do not in general relate to
cases where the returned result is also substantially inaccurate, are
not so readily avoidable by appropriately conditional libgcc patches,
and are widespread enough to be hard to handle through individual
XFAILing of the affected tests.
Thus, this patch documents relaxed accuracy goals for libm functions
for IBM long double and makes libm-test.inc reflect these spurious
exceptions in ldbl-128ibm arithmetic and always allow them in
ldbl-128ibm testing (while still not allowing these exceptions to be
missing where required to be present). Tested for powerpc.

index_* and bit_* macros are used to access cpuid and feature arrays o
struct cpu_features. It is very easy to use bits and indices of cpuid
array on feature array, especially in assembly codes. For example,
sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/bcopy.S has
HAS_CPU_FEATURE (Fast_Rep_String)
which should be
HAS_ARCH_FEATURE (Fast_Rep_String)
We change index_* and bit_* to index_cpu_*/index_arch_* and
bit_cpu_*/bit_arch_* so that we can catch such error at build time.

In makecontext the FDE needs to be terminated before the return

The ldbl-128ibm implementation of nearbyintl uses logic that only
works in round-to-nearest mode. This contrasts with rintl, which
works in all rounding modes.
Now, arguably nearbyintl could simply be aliased to rintl, given that
spurious "inexact" is generally allowed for ldbl-128ibm, even for the
underlying arithmetic operations. But given that the only point of
nearbyintl is to avoid "inexact", this patch follows the more
conservative approach of adding conditionals to the rintl
implementation to make it suitable for use to implement nearbyintl,
then builds it for nearbyintl with USE_AS_NEARBYINTL defined. The
test test-nearbyint-except-2 shows up issues when traps on "inexact"
are enabled, which turn out to be problems with the powerpc
fenv_private.h implementation (two functions that should disable
exception traps potentially failing to do so in some cases); this
patch duly fixes that as well (I don't see any other existing cases
where this would be user-visible; there isn't much use of *_NOEX,
*hold* etc. in libm that requires exceptions to be discarded and not
trapped on).
Tested for powerpc.

The operand modifier %s on powerpc is an undocumented internal implementation
detail of GCC. Besides that, the GCC community wants to remove it. This patch
rewrites the expressions that use this modifier with logically equivalent
expressions that don't require it.
Explanation for the substitution:
The %s modifier takes an immediate operand and prints 32 less such immediate.
Thus, in the previous code, the expression resulted in:
32 - __builtin_ffs(e)
where e was guaranteed to have exactly a single bit set, by the following
expressions:
(e & (e-1) == 0) : e has at most one bit set.
(e != 0) : e is not zero, thus it has at least one bit set.
Since we guarantee that there is exactly only one bit set, the following
statement is true:
32 - __builtin_ffs(e) == __builtin_clz(e)
Thus, we can replace __builtin_ffs with __builtin_clz and remove the %s operand
modifier.
HWCAP-related code should had been updated when the 32 bits of HWCAP were
used. This patch updates the code in dl-procinfo.h to loop through all
the 32 bits in HWCAP and updates _dl_powerpc_cap_flags accordingly.

The ldbl-128ibm implementation of remainderl has logic resulting in
incorrect tests for equality of the absolute values of the arguments
in the case of zero low parts. If the low parts are both zero but
with different signs, this can wrongly cause equal arguments to be
treated as different, resulting in turn in incorrect signs of zero
result in nondefault rounding modes arising from the subtractions done
when the arguments are not equal.
This patch fixes the logic to convert -0 low parts into +0 before the
comparison (remquo already has separate logic to deal with signs of
zero results, so doesn't need such a change). Tests are added for
remainderl and remquol similar to that for fmodl, and based on a
refactoring of it, since the bug depends on low parts which should not
be relied upon in tests not setting the representation explicitly
(although in fact the bug shows up in test-ldouble with current GCC).
Tested for powerpc.

With older kernels, it is mostly ineffective because it causes malloc
to switch from sbrk to mmap (potentially invalidating malloc testing
compared to what real appliations do). With newer kernels which
have switched to enforcing RLIMIT_DATA for mmap as well, some test
cases will fail in an unintended fashion because the limit which was
set previously does not include room for all mmap mappings.
This patch implements a new posix_spawn{p} implementation for Linux. The main
difference is it uses the clone syscall directly with CLONE_VM and CLONE_VFORK
flags and a direct allocated stack. The new stack and start function solves
most the vfork limitation (possible parent clobber due stack spilling). The
remaning issue are related to signal handling:
1. That no signal handlers must run in child context, to avoid corrupt
parent's state.
2. Child must synchronize with parent to enforce stack deallocation and
to possible return execv issues.
The first one is solved by blocking all signals in child, even NPTL-internal
ones (SIGCANCEL and SIGSETXID). The second issue is done by a stack allocation
in parent and a synchronization with using a pipe or waitpid (in case or error).
The pipe has the advantage of allowing the child signal an exec error (checked
with new tst-spawn2 test).
There is an inherent race condition in pipe2 usage for architectures that do not
support the syscall directly. In such cases the a pipe plus fctnl is used
instead and it may lead to file descriptor leak in parent (as decribed by fcntl
documentation).
The child process stack is allocate with a mmap with MAP_STACK flag using
default architecture stack size. Although it is slower than use a stack buffer
from parent, it allows some slack for the compatibility code to run scripts
with no shebang (which may use a buffer with size depending of argument list
count).
Performance should be similar to the vfork default posix implementation and
way faster than fork path (vfork on mostly linux ports are basically
clone with CLONE_VM plus CLONE_VFORK). The only difference is the syscalls
required for the stack allocation/deallocation.
It fixes BZ#10354, BZ#14750, and BZ#18433.

This patch removes all the dynamic allocation on execvpe code and
instead use direct stack allocation. This is QoI approach to make
it possible use in scenarios where memory is shared with parent
(vfork or clone with CLONE_VM).
For default process spawn (script file without a shebang), stack
allocation is bounded by NAME_MAX plus PATH_MAX plus 1. Large
file arguments returns an error (ENAMETOOLONG). This differs than
current GLIBC pratice in general, but it used to limit stack
allocation for large inputs. Also, path in PATH environment variable
larger than PATH_MAX are ignored.
The shell direct execution exeception, where execve returns ENOEXEC,
might requires a large stack allocation due large input argument list.

GLIBC execl{e,p} implementation might use malloc if the total number of
arguments exceed initial assumption size (1024). This might lead to
issues in two situations:
1. execl/execle is stated to be async-signal-safe by POSIX [1]. However
if execl is used in a signal handler with a large argument set (that
may call malloc internally) and if the resulting call fails it might
lead malloc in the program in a bad state.
2. If the functions are used in a vfork/clone(VFORK) situation it also
might issue malloc internal bad state.
This patch fixes it by using stack allocation instead. It also fixes
BZ#19534.
