We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

These deprecated functions are only safe to call from
__malloc_initialize_hook and as a result, are not useful in the
general case. Move the implementations to libc_malloc_debug so that
existing binaries that need it will now have to preload the debug DSO
to work correctly.
This also allows simplification of the core malloc implementation by
dropping all the undumping support code that was added to make
malloc_set_state work.
One known breakage is that of ancient emacs binaries that depend on
this. They will now crash when running with this libc. With
LD_BIND_NOW=1, it will terminate immediately because of not being able
to find malloc_set_state but with lazy binding it will crash in
unpredictable ways. It will need a preloaded libc_malloc_debug.so so
that its initialization hook is executed to allow its malloc
implementation to work properly.

The malloc-check debugging feature is tightly integrated into glibc
malloc, so thanks to an idea from Florian Weimer, much of the malloc
implementation has been moved into libc_malloc_debug.so to support
malloc-check. Due to this, glibc malloc and malloc-check can no
longer work together; they use altogether different (but identical)
structures for heap management. This should not make a difference
though since the malloc check hook is not disabled anywhere.
malloc_set_state does, but it does so early enough that it shouldn't
cause any problems.
The malloc check tunable is now in the debug DSO and has no effect
when the DSO is not preloaded.

Split the mcheck implementation into the debugging hooks and API so
that the API can be replicated in libc and libc_malloc_debug.so. The
libc APIs always result in failure.
The mcheck implementation has also been moved entirely into
libc_malloc_debug.so and with it, all of the hook initialization code
can now be moved into the debug library. Now the initialization can
be done independently of libc internals.
With this patch, libc_malloc_debug.so can no longer be used with older
libcs, which is not its goal anyway. tst-vfork3 breaks due to this
since it spawns shell scripts, which in turn execute using the system
glibc. Move the test to tests-container so that only the built glibc
is used.
This move also fixes bugs in the mcheck version of memalign and
realloc, thus allowing removal of the tests from tests-mcheck
exclusion list.

Remove all malloc hook uses from core malloc functions and move it
into a new library libc_malloc_debug.so. With this, the hooks now no
longer have any effect on the core library.
libc_malloc_debug.so is a malloc interposer that needs to be preloaded
to get hooks functionality back so that the debugging features that
depend on the hooks, i.e. malloc-check, mcheck and mtrace work again.
Without the preloaded DSO these debugging features will be nops.
These features will be ported away from hooks in subsequent patches.
Similarly, legacy applications that need hooks functionality need to
preload libc_malloc_debug.so.
The symbols exported by libc_malloc_debug.so are maintained at exactly
the same version as libc.so.
Finally, static binaries will no longer be able to use malloc
debugging features since they cannot preload the debugging DSO.

This patch adds a way to close a range of file descriptors on
posix_spawn as a new file action. The API is similar to the one
provided by Solaris 11 [1], where the file action causes the all open
file descriptors greater than or equal to input on to be closed when
the new process is spawned.
The function posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np is safe to be
implemented by iterating over /proc/self/fd, since the Linux spawni.c
helper process does not use CLONE_FILES, so its has own file descriptor
table and any failure (in /proc operation) aborts the process creation
and returns an error to the caller.
I am aware that this file action might be redundant to the current
approach of POSIX in promoting O_CLOEXEC in more interfaces. However
O_CLOEXEC is still not the default and for some specific usages, the
caller needs to close all possible file descriptors to avoid them
leaking. Some examples are CPython (discussed in BZ#10353) and OpenJDK
jspawnhelper [2] (where OpenJDK spawns a helper process to exactly
closes all file descriptors). Most likely any environment which calls
functions that might open file descriptor under the hood and aim to use
posix_spawn might face the same requirement.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu on kernel 5.11 and 4.15.

The function closes all open file descriptors greater than or equal to
input argument. Negative values are clamped to 0, i.e, it will close
all file descriptors.
As indicated by the bug report, this is a common symbol provided by
different systems (Solaris, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD) and, although
its has inherent issues with not taking in consideration internal libc
file descriptors (such as syslog), this is also a common feature used
in multiple projects [1][2][3][4][5].
The Linux fallback implementation iterates over /proc and close all
file descriptors sequentially. Although it was raised the questioning
whether getdents on /proc/self/fd might return disjointed entries
when file descriptor are closed; it does not seems the case on my
testing on multiple kernel (v4.18, v5.4, v5.9) and the same strategy
is used on different projects [1][2][3][5].
Also, the interface is set a fail-safe meaning that a failure in the
fallback results in a process abort.

Austin Group issue 62 [1] dropped the async-signal-safe requirement
for fork and provided a async-signal-safe _Fork replacement that
does not run the atfork handlers. It will be included in the next
POSIX standard.
It allow to close a long standing issue to make fork AS-safe (BZ#4737).
As indicated on the bug, besides the internal lock for the atfork
handlers itself; there is no guarantee that the handlers itself will
not introduce more AS-safe issues.
The idea is synchronize fork with the required internal locks to allow
children in multithread processes to use mostly of standard function
(even though POSIX states only AS-safe function should be used). On
signal handles, _Fork should be used intead and only AS-safe functions
should be used.
For testing, the new tst-_Fork only check basic usage. I also added
a new tst-mallocfork3 which uses the same strategy to check for
deadlock of tst-mallocfork2 but using threads instead of subprocesses
(and it does deadlock if it replaces _Fork with fork).

It turns out the startup code in csu/elf-init.c has a perfect pair of
ROP gadgets (see Marco-Gisbert and Ripoll-Ripoll, "return-to-csu: A
New Method to Bypass 64-bit Linux ASLR"). These functions are not
needed in dynamically-linked binaries because DT_INIT/DT_INIT_ARRAY
are already processed by the dynamic linker. However, the dynamic
linker skipped the main program for some reason. For maximum
backwards compatibility, this is not changed, and instead, the main
map is consulted from __libc_start_main if the init function argument
is a NULL pointer.
For statically linked binaries, the old approach based on linker
symbols is still used because there is nothing else available.
A new symbol version __libc_start_main@@GLIBC_2.34 is introduced because
new binaries running on an old libc would not run their ELF
constructors, leading to difficult-to-debug issues.
In <sys/platform/x86.h>, define CPU features as enum instead of using
the C preprocessor magic to make it easier to wrap this functionality
in other languages. Move the C preprocessor magic to internal header
for better GCC codegen when more than one features are checked in a
single expression as in x86-64 dl-hwcaps-subdirs.c.
1. Rename COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_XXX to CPUID_INDEX_XXX.
2. Move CPUID_INDEX_MAX to sysdeps/x86/include/cpu-features.h.
3. Remove struct cpu_features and __x86_get_cpu_features from

4. Add __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf to <sys/platform/x86.h> and put it

5. Make __get_cpu_features() private to glibc.
6. Replace __x86_get_cpu_features(N) with __get_cpu_features().
7. Add _dl_x86_get_cpu_features to GLIBC_PRIVATE.
8. Use a single enum index for each CPU feature detection.
9. Pass the CPUID feature leaf to __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf.
10. Return zero struct cpuid_feature for the older glibc binary with a
smaller CPUID_INDEX_MAX [BZ #27104].
11. Inside glibc, use the C preprocessor magic so that cpu_features data
can be loaded just once leading to more compact code for glibc.
256 bits are used for each CPUID leaf. Some leaves only contain a few
features. We can add exceptions to such leaves. But it will increase
code sizes and it is harder to provide backward/forward compatibilities
when new features are added to such leaves in the future.
When new leaves are added, _rtld_global_ro offsets will change which
leads to race condition during in-place updates. We may avoid in-place
updates by
1. Rename the old glibc.
2. Install the new glibc.
3. Remove the old glibc.

Instead of having the arch-specific trampoline setup code detect whether

SA_SIGINFO is actually just another way of expressing what we were

SIGINFO interface and fixes the posix values when that interface is

Change sbrk to fail for !__libc_initial (in the generic
implementation). As a result, sbrk is (relatively) safe to use
for the __libc_initial case (from the main libc). It is therefore
no longer necessary to avoid using it in that case (or updating the
brk cache), and the __libc_initial flag does not need to be updated
as part of dlmopen or static dlopen.
As before, direct brk system calls on Linux may lead to memory
