The warning is confusing to those who do not understand the context,
and the warning is easy to misunderstand:
A reader needs to know that it was written by someone who is generally
skeptical of government influence and control, otherwise it reads as
an affirmation of the U.S. government's role as the ultimate editor of
the manual. This is precisely the opposite of what the warning
intends to convey. (Reportedly, it criticizes that several
U.S. administrations have tried to restrict the medical advice that
U.S.-funded health care workers can provide abroad, considering that
censorship.)
The warning is also misleading on a technical level. A reader who
makes the connection to pregnancy termination will get the wrong
impression that calling the abort function will terminate subprocesses
of the current process, but this is not what generally happens.
Finally, for both GNU and the FSF, it is inappropriate to use female
reproductive health as mere joke material, since these organizations
do not concern themselves with such issues otherwise, and the warning
is purportedly about something else entirely.
This reinstates commit 340d9652b9
("manual/startup.texi (Aborting a Program): Remove inappropriate
joke."), effectively reverting the revert in commit
ffa81c22a3 ("Revert:").

This patch sets the mode field in ipc_perm as mode_t for all architectures,
as POSIX specification [1]. The changes required are as follow:
1. It moves the ipc_perm definition out of ipc.h to its own header
ipc_perm.h. It also allows consolidate the IPC_* definition on
only one header.
2. The generic implementation follow the kernel ipc64_perm size so the
syscall can be made directly without temporary buffer copy. However,
since glibc defines the MODE field as mode_t, it omits the __PAD1 field
(since glibc does not export mode_t as 16-bit for any architecture).
It is a two-fold improvement:
2.1. New implementation which follow Linux UAPI will not need to
provide an arch-specific ipc-perm.h header neither wrongly
use the wrong 16-bit definition from previous default ipc.h
(as csky did).
2.1. It allows consolidate ipc_perm definition for architectures that
already provide mode_t as 32-bit.
3. All kernel ABIs for the supported architectures already provides the
expected padding for mode type extension to 32-bit. However, some
architectures the padding has the wrong placement, so it requires
the ipc control routines (msgctl, semctl, and shmctl) to adjust the
mode field accordingly. Currently they are armeb, microblaze, m68k,
s390, and sheb.
A new assume is added, __ASSUME_SYSVIPC_BROKEN_MODE_T, which the
required ABIs define.
4. For the ABIs that define __ASSUME_SYSVIPC_BROKEN_MODE_T, it also
require compat symbols that do not adjust the mode field.
Checked on arm-linux-gnueabihf, aarch64-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
and x86_64-linux-gnu. I also checked the sysvipc tests on hppa-linux-gnu,
sh4-linux-gnu, s390x-linux-gnu, and s390-linux-gnu.
I also did a sanity test against armeb qemu usermode for the sysvipc
tests.

This patch provides new __clock_settime64 explicit 64 bit function for
setting the time. Moreover, a 32 bit version - __clock_settime - has been
refactored to internally use __clock_settime64.
The __clock_settime is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting
32 bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary conversion to 64 bit
struct timespec.
The new clock_settime64 syscall available from Linux 5.1+ has been used,
when applicable.
In this patch the internal padding (tv_pad) of struct __timespec64 is
left untouched (on systems with __WORDSIZE == 32) as Linux kernel ignores
upper 32 bits of tv_nsec.
Build tests:
- The code has been tested on x86_64/x86 (native compilation):
make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" && make xcheck PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8"
- The glibc has been build tested (make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8") for
x86 (i386), x86_64-x32, and armv7
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
- Use of cross-test-ssh.sh for ARM (armv7):
make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" test-wrapper='./cross-test-ssh.sh root@192.168.7.2' xcheck
Linux kernel, headers and minimal kernel version for glibc build test
matrix:
- Linux v5.1 (with clock_settime64) and glibc build with v5.1 as minimal
kernel version (--enable-kernel="5.1.0")
The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS flag defined.
- Linux v5.1 and default minimal kernel version
The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS not defined, but kernel supports
__clock_settime64 syscalls.
- Linux v4.19 (no clock_settime64 support) with default minimal kernel
version for contemporary glibc
This kernel doesn't support __clock_settime64 syscalls, so the fallback
to clock_settime is tested.
The above tests were performed with Y2038 redirection applied as well as
without (so the __TIMESIZE != 64 execution path is checked as well).
No regressions were observed.
* include/time.h (__clock_settime64):
Add __clock_settime alias according to __TIMESIZE define
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/clock_settime.c (__clock_settime):

This patch replaces the fork+exec by posix_spawn on wordexp, which
allows a better scability on Linux and simplifies the thread
cancellation handling.
The only change which can not be implemented with posix_spawn the
/dev/null check to certify it is indeed the expected device. I am
not sure how effetive this check is since /dev/null tampering means
something very wrong with the system and this is the least of the
issues. My view is the tests is really out of the place and the
hardening provided is minimum.
If the idea is still to provide such check, I think a possibilty
would be to open /dev/null, check it, add a dup2 file action, and
close the file descriptor.
Checked on powerpc64le-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.

This patch changes how the fallback getdents64 implementation calls
non-LFS getdents by replacing the scratch_buffer with static buffer
plus a loop on getdents calls. This avoids the potential malloc
call on scratch_buffer_set_array_size for large input buffer size
at the cost of more getdents syscalls.
It also adds a small optimization for older kernels, where the first
ENOSYS failure for getdents64 disable subsequent calls.
Check the dirent tests on a mips64-linux-gnu with getdents64 code
disabled.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/getdents64.c (__getdents64):

_dl_var_init is used to patch the read-only data section after
relocation. Several architectures use this to update
GLRO(page_size) with the correct value for the static dlopen case,
where _rtld_global_ro has not been initialized by the dynamic
loader.
RISC-V does not need this. The RISC-V Instruction Set Manual,
Volume II: Privileged Architecture, Document Version
20190608-Priv-MSU-Ratified says this:
After much deliberation, we have settled on a conventional
page size of 4 KiB for both RV32 and RV64. We expect this
decision to ease the porting of low-level runtime software
and device drivers. The TLB reach problem is ameliorated by
transparent superpage support in modern operating systems
[2]. Additionally, multi-level TLB hierarchies are quite
inexpensive relative to the multi-level cache hierarchies
whose address space they map.

This means that the initialization of
_rtld_global_ro._dl_page_size in elf/rtld.c with EXEC_PAGESIZE
is sufficient for RISC-V.
Commit a42faf59d6 ("Fix BZ #16634.")
attempted to fix a TLS modid consistency issue by adding additional
checks to the open_verify function. However, this is fragile
because open_verify cannot reliably predict whether
_dl_map_object_from_fd will later fail in the more complex cases
(such as memory allocation failures). Therefore, this commit
assigns the TLS modid as late as possible. At that point, the link
map pointer will eventually be passed to _dl_close, which will undo
the TLS modid assignment.

If the loader is invoked explicitly and loads the main executable,
it stores the file ID of the main executable in l_file_id. This
information is not available if the main excutable is loaded by the

To work around <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91691>
for RV32, we recently disabled -Wmaybe-uninitialized for some inline
functions in inet/net-internal.h, as included by sunrpc/clnt_udp.c.
The same error has now appeared with current GCC trunk for MIPS, in a
form that is located at the definition of the variable in question and
so unaffected by the disabling in inet/net-internal.h. Thus, this
patch adds the same disabling around the definition of that variable,
to cover the MIPS case.

Commit 69fd157a3 "time: Add padding for the timespec if required"
caused a breakage in the glibc tests as the endian.h include file was

headers.
This patche restores the __USE_MISC conditionals in endian.h to fix the
test failures.
* string/endian.h: Restore the __USE_MISC conditionals.
string/tester.c contains code that correctly triggers various GCC
warnings about dubious uses of string functions (uses that are being

the relevant code.
A change in GCC mainline resulted in this code failing to compile with

-Warray-bounds already disabled. This has been reported as
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91890>. This patch
avoids that problem and possible future issues with these diagnostics
by moving all the warning disabling in this file to top level, as
suggested by Florian in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-10/msg00033.html>, rather
than only doing it locally around specific function calls.

The HURD requires explicit inclusion of <bits/types/struct_timeval.h> to use

Since at least POWER8, there is no performance advantage to entering

This patch adds the ability to run debugglibc.sh's inferior program with
arguments specified on the command line. This enables convenient debugging
of non-testcase programs such as iconv/iconv_prog or other dynamically
linked programs. Program arguments may be passed using `--' as a separator.
For example:
$ ./debugglibc.sh -b iconv -- iconv/iconv_prog -f ASCII -t UTF-8 input.txt
If we are running on a 32-bit system with a 64-bit time_t we need to
ensure there is padding around the tv_nsec variable. This is requried as
the timespec is #defined to the __timespec64 struct.
* time/bits/types/struct_timespec.h: Add padding for the timespec if
required.
With only two exceptions (sys/types.h and sys/param.h, both of which
historically might have defined BYTE_ORDER) the public headers that
include <endian.h> only want to be able to test __BYTE_ORDER against
__*_ENDIAN.
This patch creates a new bits/endian.h that can be included by any
header that wants to be able to test __BYTE_ORDER and/or
__FLOAT_WORD_ORDER against the __*_ENDIAN constants, or needs
__LONG_LONG_PAIR. It only defines macros in the implementation
namespace.
The existing bits/endian.h (which could not be included independently
of endian.h, and only defines __BYTE_ORDER and maybe __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER)
is renamed to bits/endianness.h. I also took the opportunity to
canonicalize the form of this header, which we are stuck with having
one copy of per architecture. Since they are so short, this means git
doesn’t understand that they were renamed from existing headers, sigh.
endian.h itself is a nonstandard header and its only remaining use
from a standard header is guarded by __USE_MISC, so I dropped the
__USE_MISC conditionals from around all of the public-namespace things
it defines. (This means, an application that requests strict library
conformance but includes endian.h will still see the definition of
BYTE_ORDER.)
A few changes to specific bits/endian(ness).h variants deserve
mention:
- sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/bits/endian.h is moved to
sysdeps/ia64/bits/endianness.h. If I remember correctly, ia64 did
have selectable endianness, but we have assembly code in
sysdeps/ia64 that assumes it’s little-endian, so there is no reason
to treat the ia64 endianness.h as linux-specific.
- The C-SKY port does not fully support big-endian mode, the compile
will error out if __CSKYBE__ is defined.
- The PowerPC port had extra logic in its bits/endian.h to detect a
broken compiler, which strikes me as unnecessary, so I removed it.
- The only files that defined __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER always defined it to
the same value as __BYTE_ORDER, so I removed those definitions.
The SH bits/endian(ness).h had comments inconsistent with the
actual setting of __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER, which I also removed.
- I *removed* copyright boilerplate from the few bits/endian(ness).h
headers that had it; these files record a single fact in a fashion
dictated by an external spec, so I do not think they are copyrightable.
As long as I was changing every copy of ieee754.h in the tree, I
noticed that only the MIPS variant includes float.h, because it uses
LDBL_MANT_DIG to decide among three different versions of
ieee854_long_double. This patch makes it not include float.h when
GCC’s intrinsic __LDBL_MANT_DIG__ is available.

This patch adds a new make rule that generates a helper script for
debugging glibc test cases. The new script, debugglibc.sh, is similar
to testrun.sh, in the sense that it allows the execution of the
specified test case, however, it opens the test case in GDB, setting the
library path the same way that testrun.sh does. The commands are based
on the instructions on the wiki for glibc debugging [1,2].
By default, the script tells GDB to load the test case for symbol
information, so that, when a breakpoint is hit, the call stack is
displayed correctly (instead of printing lots of '??'s). For instance,
after running 'make' and 'make check', one could do the following:
$ ./debugglibc.sh nptl/tst-exec1 -b pthread_join

Breakpoint 2 at 0x7ffff7f49d48: file pthread_join.c, line 23.
Notice that the script will always start GDB with the program running
and halted at _dl_start_user. So, in order to reach the actual
breakpoint of interest, one should hit 'c', not 'r':

fesetenv_mode is used variously to write the FPSCR exception enable
bits and rounding mode bits. These are referred to as the control
bits in the POWER ISA. Change the name to be reflective of its
current and expected use, and match up well with fegetenv_control.
libc_feholdsetround_noex_ppc_ctx currently performs:
1. Read FPSCR, save to context.
2. Create new FPSCR value: clear enables and set new rounding mode.
3. Write new value to FPSCR.
Since other bits just pass through, there is no need to write them.
Instead, write just the changed values (enables and rounding mode),
which can be a bit more efficient.
fegetenv_status is used variously to retrieve the FPSCR exception enable
bits, rounding mode bits, or both. These are referred to as the control
bits in the POWER ISA. FPSCR status bits are also returned by the
'mffs' and 'mffsl' instructions, but they are uniformly ignored by all
uses of fegetenv_status. Change the name to be reflective of its
current and expected use.

On POWER9, use more efficient means to update the 2-bit rounding mode
via the 'mffscrn' instruction (instead of two 'mtfsb0/1' instructions
or one 'mtfsfi' instruction that modifies 4 bits).

ROUND_TO_ODD and a couple of other places use libc_feupdateenv_test to
restore the rounding mode and exception enables, preserve exception flags,
and test whether given exception(s) were generated.
If the exception flags haven't changed, then it is sufficient and a bit
more efficient to just restore the rounding mode and enables, rather than
writing the full Floating-Point Status and Control Register (FPSCR).

This patch adds the new TCP_TX_DELAY constant from Linux 5.3 to
sysdeps/gnu/netinet/tcp.h.
Tested for x86_64.
* sysdeps/gnu/netinet/tcp.h (TCP_TX_DELAY): New macro.
This type is a glibc's "internal" type similar to struct timespec but
whose tv_sec field is a __time64_t rather than a time_t, which makes it
Y2038-proof and usable to pass syscalls between user code and Y2038-proof
kernel.
To support passing this structure to the kernel - the unnamed 32 bit
padding bit-field has been introduced. The placement of it depends on
the endianness of the SoC.
Tested on x86_64 and ARM.
It moves the missing CFLAGS from rt/Makefile to time/Makefile missing
from 7b5af2d8f2 (Finish move of clock_* functions to libc. [BZ #24959]).
Checked on powerpc64le-linux-gnu.

* time/Makefile (CFLAGS-clock_nanosleep.c): ... here.
The total_deadline variable inside the clntudp_call() function inside
sunrpc/clnt_udp.c can cause uninitalised variable warnings when building
with GCC 8.3 or 9.2 on a platform with a 64-bit tv_nsec on a 32-bit
architecture. To fix the warning let's use the DIAG_* macros to hide the
warning.

The utility of a ChangeLog file has been discussed in various mailing
list threads and GNU Tools Cauldrons in the past years and the general
consensus is that while the file may have been very useful in the past
when revision control did not exist or was not as powerful as it is
today, it's current utility is fast diminishing. Further, the
ChangeLog format gets in the way of modernisation of processes since
it almost always results in rewriting of a commit, thus preventing use
of any code review tools to automatically manage patches in the glibc
project.
There is consensus in the glibc community that documentation of why a
change was done (i.e. a detailed description in a git commit) is more
useful than what changed (i.e. a ChangeLog entry) since the latter can
be deduced from the patch. The GNU community would however like to
keep the option of ascertaining what changed through a ChangeLog-like
output and as a compromise, it was proposed that a script be developed
that generates this output.
The script below is the result of these discussions. This script
takes two git revisions references as input and generates the git log
between those revisions in a form that resembles a ChangeLog. Its
capabilities and limitations are listed in a comment in the script.
On a high level it is capable of parsing C code and telling what
changed at the top level, but not within constructs such as functions.
Design
------
At a high level, the script analyses the raw output of a VCS, parses
the source files that have changed and attempts to determine what
changed. The script driver needs three distinct components to be
fully functional for a repository:
- A vcstocl_quirks.py file that helps it parse weird patterns in
sources that may result from preprocessor defines.
- A VCS plugin backend; the git backend is implemented for glibc
- A programming language parser plugin. C is currently implemented.
Additional programming language parsers can be added to give more
detailed output for changes in those types of files.
For input in languages other than those that have a parser, the script
only identifies if a file has been added, removed, modified,
permissions changed, etc. but cannot understand the change in content.
The C Parser
------------
The C parser is capable of parsing C programs with preprocessor macros
in place, as if they were part of the language. This presents some
challenges with parsing code that expands macros on the fly and to
help work around that, a vcstocl_quirks.py file has transformations to
ease things.
The C parser currently can identify macro definitions and scopes and
all global and static declarations and definitions. It cannot parse
(and compare) changes inside functions yet, it could be a future
enhancement if the need for it arises.
Testing
-------
The script has been tested with the glibc repository up to glibc-2.29
and also in the past with emacs. While it would be ideal to have
something like this in a repository like gnulib, that should not be a
bottleneck for glibc to start using this, so this patch proposes to
add these scripts into glibc.
And here is (hopefully!) one of the last ChangeLog entries we'd have
to write for glibc:
* scripts/gitlog_to_changelog.py: New script to auto-generate
ChangeLog.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/frontend_c.py: New file.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/misc_util.py: New file.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/vcs_git.py: New file.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/vcstocl_quirks.py: Likewise.
SET_RESTORE_ROUND brackets a block of code, temporarily setting and
restoring the rounding mode and letting everything else, including
exceptions generated within the block, pass through.
On powerpc, the current code clears the exception enables, which will hide
exceptions generated within the block. This issue was introduced by me
in commit e905212627.
Fix this by not clearing exception enable bits in the prologue.
Also, since we are no longer changing the enable bits in either the
prologue or the epilogue, there is no need to test for entering/exiting
non-stop mode.
Also, optimize the prologue get/save/set rounding mode operations for
POWER9 and later by using 'mffscrn' when possible.
