The ceill assembly implementation (sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/fpu/s_ceill.S)
returns wrong results for some inputs where first double is a exact
integer and the precision is determined by second long double.
Checking on implementation comments and history, I am very confident the
assembly implementation was based on a version before commit
5c68d40169 that fixes BZ#2423 (Errors in
long double (ldbl-128ibm) rounding functions in glibc-2.4).
By just removing the implementation and make the build select
sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_ceill.c instead fixes the failing math.
Fixes BZ#16701.
Reviewing (for all architectures, with a baseline kernel version of
2.6.32) the kernel support for features for which __ASSUME_* macros
would be affected by a move to 2.6.32 as minimum kernel version showed
up that __ASSUME_PSELECT was wrongly defined for MicroBlaze, despite
the corresponding syscall table entry not being wired up in the
MicroBlaze kernel.
This patch makes the MicroBlaze kernel-features.h undefine
__ASSUME_PSELECT. I'd also encourage wiring it up in the kernel (so
you can then make this #undef conditional, and eventually obsolete
once a recent-enough kernel is required). I suspect it wasn't wired
up because of the mistaken comment in asm/unistd.h "obsolete ->
sys_pselect7" (there is no such syscall as pselect7).

This patch fixes an issue for powerpc32-fpu static build which fails
with an 'bzero' undefined reference. This patch adds bzero ifunc selector
for static builds and fixes the '__bzero_ppc' reference to default
memset symbol (since static memset build does not provide ifunc
selector).
Fixes BZ#16689.
The buffer to query netgroup entries is allocated sufficient space for
the netgroup entries and the key to be appended at the end, but it
sends in an incorrect available length to the NSS netgroup query
functions, resulting in overflow of the buffer in some special cases.
The fix here is to factor in the key length when sending the available
buffer and buffer length to the query functions.
ISO C requires the result of nextafter to be independent of the
rounding mode, even when underflow or overflow occurs. This patch
fixes the bug in various nextafter implementations that, having done
an overflowing computation to force an overflow exception (correct),
they then return the result of that computation rather than an
infinity computed some other way (incorrect, when the overflowing
result of arithmetic with that sign and rounding mode is finite but
the correct result is infinite) - generally by falling through to
existing code to return a value that in fact is correct for this case
(but was computed by an integer increment and so without generating
the exceptions required). Having fixed the bug, the previously
deferred conversion of nextafter testing in libm-test.inc to
ALL_RM_TEST is also included.
Tested x86_64 and x86; also spot-checked results of nextafter tests
for powerpc32 and mips64 to test the ldbl-128ibm and ldbl-128
changes. (The m68k change is untested.)

Currently the nscd service is installed in systemd as a simple
service, which means that it is able to handle its own errors and does
not quit. Since nscd does not fit that description, i.e. it can exit
on errors like, say, failing to parse nscd.conf, it should be declared
as forking instead.
This patch fixes one of the header namespace issues shown up by
conformtest, <sched.h> failing to expose all symbols from <time.h> as
required by older standards. The patch keeps the existing behavior if
__USE_XOPEN2K is defined (the default; POSIX.1-2001 was the version
that made it optional to expose these symbols), but ensures that all
the symbols from <time.h> are exposed if an older standard is
selected. Tested x86_64.

ftell semantics are distinct from fseek(SEEK_CUR) especially when it
is called on a file handler that is not yet active. Due to this
caveat, much care needs to be taken while modifying the handler data
and hence, this first iteration on separating out ftell focusses on
maintaining handler data integrity at all times while it figures out
the current stream offset. The result is that it makes a syscall for
every offset request.
There is scope for optimizing this by caching offsets when we know
that the handler is active. A simple way to find out is when the
buffers have data. It is not so simple to find this out when the
buffer is empty without adding some kind of flag.
In 84ba214c, I removed some redundant sign computations and in the
process, I incorrectly got rid of a temporary variable, thus passing
the absolute value of the input to bsloww1. This caused #16623.
This fix undoes the incorrect change.
Source packages that need to support both 2.19 and
2.20 will need to decide to use _BSD_SOURCE and
_SVID_SOURCE vs. _DEFAULT_SOURCE.
The difficulty in making that decision is that
__GLIBC_MINOR__ is itself defined in features.h,
but you want to set the feature test macros before
including features.h.
Therefore to ease the transition we should disable
the warning if _DEFAULT_SOURCE is also defined.

This commit fixes a bug where the dynamic loader would crash
when loading audit libraries, via LD_AUDIT, where those libraries
used TLS. The dynamic loader was not considering that the audit
libraries would use TLS and failed to bump the TLS generation
counter leaving TLS usage inconsistent after loading the audit
libraries.

Shifting into the sign position is currently supported as a GCC
extension, but explicitly subjected to future changes. Computation
in the unsigned type followed by a cast to the signed type is a GCC
extension that will be available forever.
Similar to the issues for accept4 and recvmmsg, __ASSUME_SENDMMSG is
also confused about whether it relates to function availability or
socketcall operation availability, and the conditions for the
definition are always wrong (sendmmsg appeared in Linux kernel 3.0,
not 2.6.39); this is now bug 16611.
This patch splits the macro into separate macros like those for
accept4 and recvmmsg, defining them for appropriate kernel versions.
Tested x86_64, including that disassembly of the installed shared
libraries is unchanged by this patch.

Similar to the issues for accept4, __ASSUME_RECVMMSG is also confused
about whether it relates to function availability or socketcall
operation availability; this is now bug 16610.
Nothing actually tests __ASSUME_RECVMMSG for function availability,
but implicit in the definition in kernel-features.h is the idea that
it makes sense when the syscall is available and socketcall is not
being used. As with accept4, there are architectures where the
syscall was added later than the socketcall operation, meaning that
assuming glibc is built with recent enough kernel headers, it does not
attempt to use socketcall for these operations and __ASSUME_RECVMMSG
gets defined for kernels >= 2.6.33 even when the syscall was only
added later.
This patch splits the macro into separate macros like those used for
accept4; having similar macro structure in both cases (and for
sendmmsg once I've dealt with that) seems likely to be less confusing
than having a different structure on the basis of nothing actually
needing to assume the recvmmsg function works. Appropriate
definitions are added for all architectures.
Architecture-specific note: Tile's kernel-features.h says "TILE glibc
support starts with 2.6.36", which is accurate in that 2.6.36 was the
first kernel version with Tile support, and on that basis I've made
that header define __ASSUME_RECVMMSG_SYSCALL unconditionally.
However, Tile's configure.ac has arch_minimum_kernel=2.6.32. Since
arch_minimum_kernel is meant to reflect only kernel.org kernel
versions, I think that should change to 2.6.36. (If using glibc with
kernel versions from before a port went in kernel.org, it's your
responsibility to change arch_minimum_kernel in a local patch, and at
the same time to adjust any __ASSUME_* definitions that may not be
correct for your older kernel; for developing the official glibc it
should only ever be necessary to consider what official kernel.org
releases support.)

libraries is unchanged by this patch.

In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-12/msg00008.html>,
Aurelien noted issues with the definition of __ASSUME_ACCEPT4, which I
discussed in more detail in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-12/msg00014.html>; these
are now bug 16609.
As previously noted, __ASSUME_ACCEPT4 is used in two ways:
* In OS-independent code, to mean "accept4 can be assumed to work
rather than fail with ENOSYS". It doesn't matter whether it's
implemented with socketcall or a separate syscall.
* In Linux-specific code, to mean "the socketcall multiplex syscall
can be assumed to handle the accept4 operation. When used in
Linux-specific code, it *never* refers to anything relating to the
accept4 syscall, only to the socketcall multiplexer.
This patch splits the macro into separate __ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SOCKETCALL,
__ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SYSCALL and __ASSUME_ACCEPT4 to clarify the different
cases involved. A macro __ASSUME_SOCKETCALL is added for convenience
in writing logic relating to all socketcall architectures. In
addition, to address the issue of architectures where socketcall
support for accept4 was added before a separate syscall was added (and
so the separate syscall should not be used unless known to be present
or fallback to socketcall is available), a fourth macro
__ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SYSCALL_WITH_SOCKETCALL is added to indicate that the
syscall became available at the same time as socketcall support. This
is then used in the relevant places in a conditional determining
whether to undefine __NR_accept4 (the simple approach to avoiding the
syscall's presence causing problems; I didn't try to implement runtime
fallback from the syscall to socketcall).
Architecture-specific note: alpha defined __ASSUME_ACCEPT4 for 2.6.33
and later, but actually the syscall was added for alpha in 3.2, so
this patch uses the correct condition for __ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SYSCALL
there.
Tested x86_64, including that disassembly of the installed shared
libraries is unchanged by this patch.

It is valid C99 to have a trailing comma after the last item in
an enumeration. However it is not valid C90. If possible glibc
attempts to keep all headers C90 + long long without requiring
C99 features. In this case it's easy to fix the headers and it
removes the warning seem with -pedantic.

Fixes to address issues from BZ #15022 resolution, as follows:
* TLS updates to csu/libc-tls.c -- we now have a proper main map, so
there's no longer a need to create a separate fake one to keep TLS
structures,
* random updates to elf/dl-close.c -- LM_ID_BASE is now a valid name
space ID for static executables as well, so assert that we don't
unload the main map. Similarly dl_nns isn't supposed to be 0 for
static executables anymore,
* actual BZ #16046 fix to elf/dl-iteratephdr.c -- the dl_iterate_phdr
special function for static executables isn't needed anymore, provided
that l_phdr and l_phnum members of the main map have been properly
initialized (done in _dl_non_dynamic_init in elf/dl-support.c now),
* ld.so.cache loader update to elf/dl-load.c --
GL(dl_ns)[LM_ID_BASE]._ns_loaded is now always initialized in static
executables so can become the fallback loader map to check for
DF_1_NODEFLIB, provided that the l_flags_1 member of the main map has
been properly initialized (done in elf/dl-support.c now); this also
ensures previous semantics elsewhere in elf/dl-load.c,
* matching updates to elf/dl-support.c -- to complement the two fixes
above.
When i386 and x86-64 mathinline.h was merged into a single mathinline.h,
"gcc -m32" enables x87 inline functions on x86-64 even when -mfpmath=sse
and SSE2 is enabled. It is a regression on x86-64. We should check
__SSE2_MATH__ instead of __x86_64__ when disabling x87 inline functions.
The _nss_*_getnetgrent_r query populates the netgroup results in the
allocated buffer and then sets the result triplet to point to strings
in the buffer. This is a problem when the buffer is reallocated since
the pointers to the triplet strings are no longer valid. The pointers
need to be adjusted so that they now point to strings in the
reallocated buffer.
The IFUNC selector for gettimeofday runs before _libc_vdso_platform_setup where
__vdso_gettimeofday is set. The selector then sets __gettimeofday (the internal
version used within GLIBC) to use the system call version instead of the vDSO one.
This patch changes the check if vDSO is available to get its value directly
instead of rely on __vdso_gettimeofday.
This patch changes it by getting the vDSO value directly.
It fixes BZ#16431.
addgetnetgrentX has a buffer which is grown as per the needs of the
requested size either by using alloca or by falling back to malloc if
the size is larger than 1K. There are two problems with the alloca
bits: firstly, it doesn't really extend the buffer since it does not
use the return value of the extend_alloca macro, which is the location
of the reallocated buffer. Due to this the buffer does not actually
extend itself and hence a subsequent write may overwrite stuff on the
stack.
The second problem is more subtle - the buffer growth on the stack is
discontinuous due to block scope local variables. Combine that with
the fact that unlike realloc, extend_alloca does not copy over old
content and you have a situation where the buffer just has garbage in
the space where it should have had data.
This could have been fixed by adding code to copy over old data
whenever we call extend_alloca, but it seems unnecessarily
complicated. This code is not exactly a performance hotspot (it's
called when there is a cache miss, so factors like network lookup or
file reads will dominate over memory allocation/reallocation), so this
premature optimization is unnecessary.
Thanks Brad Hubbard <bhubbard@redhat.com> for his help with debugging
the problem.
We needlessly enabled thread cancellation before it was necessary. As
only call that needs to be guarded is waitpid which is cancellation
point we could remove cancellation altogether.
