Bug 16564 is spurious overflow of log1pl (LDBL_MAX) in FE_UPWARD mode,
resulting from log1pl adding 1 to its argument (for arguments not
close to 0), which overflows in that mode. This patch fixes this by
avoiding adding 1 to large arguments (precisely what counts as large
depends on the floating-point format).
Tested x86_64 and x86, and spot-checked log1pl tests on mips64 and
powerpc64.

According to C99/C11 Annex G, cacos applied to a value with real part
+Inf and finite imaginary part should produce a result with real part
+0. glibc wrongly produces a result with real part -0 in FE_DOWNWARD
mode. This patch fixes this by checking for zero results in the
relevant case of non-finite arguments (where there should never be a
result with -0 real part), and converts the tests of cacos to
ALL_RM_TEST.
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly.

According to C99 and C11 Annex F, acosh (1) should be +0 in all
rounding modes. However, some implementations in glibc wrongly return
-0 in round-downward mode (which is what you get if you end up
computing log1p (-0), via 1 - 1 being -0 in round-downward mode).
This patch fixes the problem implementations, by correcting the test
for an exact 1 value in the ldbl-96 implementation to allow for the
explicit high bit of the mantissa, and by inserting fabs instructions
in the i386 implementations; tests of acosh are duly converted to
ALL_RM_TEST. I believe all the other sysdeps/ieee754 implementations
are already OK (I haven't checked the ia64 versions, but if buggy then
that will be obvious from the results of test runs after this patch is
in).

Bug 16516 reports spurious underflows from erf (for all floating-point
types), when the result is close to underflowing but does not actually
underflow.
erf (x) is about (2/sqrt(pi))*x for x close to 0, so there are
subnormal arguments for which it does not underflow. The various
implementations do (x + efx*x) (for efx = 2/sqrt(pi) - 1), for greater
accuracy than if just using a single multiplication by an
approximation to 2/sqrt(pi) (effectively, this way there are a few
more bits in the approximation to 2/sqrt(pi)). This can introduce
underflows when efx*x underflows even though the final result does
not, so a scaled calculation with 8*efx is done in these cases - but 8
is not a big enough scale factor to avoid all such underflows. 16 is
(any underflows with a scale factor of 16 would only occur when the
final result underflows), so this patch changes the code to use that
factor. Rather than recomputing all the values of the efx8 variable,
it is removed, leaving it to the compiler's constant folding to
compute 16*efx. As such scaling can also lose underflows when the
final scaling down happens to be exact, appropriate checks are added
to ensure underflow exceptions occur when required in such cases.
Tested x86_64 and x86; no ulps updates needed. Also spot-checked for
powerpc32 and mips64 to verify the changes to the ldbl-128ibm and
ldbl-128 implementations.

This patch reduces duplication between different architectures'
kernel-features.h files by making the architecture-independent file
define various macros unconditionally (instead of only for a
particular list of architectures), with the architecture-specific
files then undefining the macros if necessary.
Specifically, __ASSUME_O_CLOEXEC (O_CLOEXEC flag to open) and
__ASSUME_SOCK_CLOEXEC (SOCK_NONBLOCK and SOCK_CLOEXEC flags to socket)
are supported on all architectures as of 2.6.32 or the minimum kernel
version for the architecture if later. For __ASSUME_IN_NONBLOCK,
__ASSUME_PIPE2, __ASSUME_EVENTFD2, __ASSUME_SIGNALFD4 and
__ASSUME_DUP3, the relevant syscalls were added for alpha in 2.6.33
but otherwise the features are available as of 2.6.32. For
__ASSUME_UTIMES, support is everywhere in 2.6.32 except for
asm-generic architectures and hppa.
Although those were the main cases of duplication among
kernel-features.h files, some other cases of unnecessary definitions
were also cleaned up: the hppa file defined various macros that were
either no longer used at all, or defined by the main file by default
anyway, the ia64 file had duplicative definitions of __ASSUME_PSELECT
and __ASSUME_PPOLL, while mips had such a definition of
__ASSUME_IPC64.
Really, rather than being defined in the main file then undefined for
asm-generic architectures, __ASSUME_UTIMES should become an
hppa-specific macro. Given that __ASSUME_ATFCTS and
__ASSUME_UTIMENSAT are now always true, the only live __ASSUME_UTIMES
conditional is in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/utimes.c, which is not used
for asm-generic architectures. I think the desired state would be an
hppa-specific file (that includes sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/utimes.c if
__ASSUME_UTIMES, and otherwise has fallback code), with the fallback
code being removed from the main utimes.c. But I think that's most
reasonably a separate cleanup once __ASSUME_ATFCTS and
__ASSUME_UTIMESAT have both had conditional code cleaned up.
Given this patch, I think it's straightforward to move non-ex-ports
architectures to having their own kernel-features.h files, like
ex-ports architectures, rather than conditionals in the main file
(i.e., such a move won't require the architecture-specific file to
contain anything that isn't genuinely architecture-specific), and
would encourage architecture maintainers to do so.
Tested x86_64 that the installed shared libraries are unchanged by
this patch. Note that on some architectures this *will* cause
__ASSUME_* macros to be defined in cases where they weren't previously
but should have been (but this is just optimization, not a fix to a
user-visible bug, so doesn't need a bug report in Bugzilla).

This patch cleans up some symbol versioning code in the ARM port that
exists only as relics of the old-ABI port, which was removed some time
ago.
The minimum symbol version in the ARM port is GLIBC_2.4 (the version
where the EABI port was introduced). Thus, any SHLIB_COMPAT
conditionals where the later version is 2.4 or later are obsolete and
can be removed. In addition, there is no need to set symbol versions
before 2.4 explicitly if the symbols would have a version of 2.4 by
default anyway. This includes most of the entries in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/Versions: those for GLIBC_2.0 are for
libgcc unwind functions that aren't actually in ARM EABI glibc at all,
while those for GLIBC_2.2 and GLIBC_2.3.3 are for functions which for
the old-ABI port may have had versions different from the
architecture-independent default, but where for EABI the default
suffices (both the default and the version in that file map to 2.4, so
the entries in that file do nothing). The GLIBC_2.1 entries are
needed (architecture-specific functions), but it seems less confusing
for those to say GLIBC_2.4, as the actual version those symbols in
fact have.
Various cases in the <fenv.h> functions where a function is defined as
__fe* with an fe* versioned alias are cleaned up just to define fe*
directly, as done e.g. on AArch64. If in future we actually need an
__fe* name for use from C90 functions in libm as discussed recently,
of course we can add one on all architectures and make the fe* name
into a weak alias for that particular function, but for now the __fe*
names aren't needed.
In the case of posix_fadvise64, the __posix_fadvise64_l64 name and
posix_fadvise64 alias are kept as __posix_fadvise64_l64 is used in
posix_fadvise. (For that to be a namespace-clean use, posix_fadvise64
needs to be a *weak* alias not a strong one as at present, but that's
an independent preexisting bug.)
(There remain references to GLIBC_2_2 in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/{msgctl.c,semctl.c,shmctl.c}. As those
files are used by alpha which has a genuine 2.2 version for those
functions, I think those references need to stay as-is.)
Tested that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is unchanged
by this patch (though function names shown in disassembly change to no
longer have @@GLIBC_2.4, now those functions get versioned only by the
version map and not redundantly at assembler time) and that the ABI
tests pass.

This patch does some initial cleanup, following the move to 2.6.32
minimum kernel version, by removing __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION
conditionals that are now always-true or always-false. In the case of
__ASSUME_ARG_MAX_STACK_BASED, where the conditional used a kernel
version that was itself in a macro, the associated sysconf.c code is
also cleaned up and __ASSUME_ARG_MAX_STACK_BASED removed completely.
Tested x86_64 that disassembly of installed shared libraries is

This patch fixes bug 16064, i386 fenv_t not including SSE state, using
the technique suggested there of storing the state in the existing
__eip field of fenv_t to avoid needing to increase the size of fenv_t
and add new symbol versions. The included testcase, which previously
failed for i386 (but passed for x86_64), illustrates how the previous
state was buggy.
This patch causes the SSE state to be included *to the extent it is on
x86_64*. Where some state should logically be included but isn't for
x86_64 (see bug 16068), this patch does not cause it to be included
for i386 either. The idea is that any patch fixing that bug should
fix it for both x86_64 and i386 at once.
Tested i386 and x86_64. (I haven't tested the case of a CPU without
SSE2 disabling the test.)

Added support for TX lock elision of pthread mutexes on s390 and
s390x. This may improve lock scaling of existing programs on TX
capable systems. The lock elision code is only built with
--enable-lock-elision=yes and then requires a GCC version supporting
the TX builtins. With lock elision default mutexes are elided via
__builtin_tbegin, if the cpu supports transactions. By default lock
elision is not enabled and the elision code is not built.
Add an optimized implementation of strcmp for ARMv7-A cores. This

The code was written by ARM, who have agreed to assign the copyright
to the FSF for integration into glibc.

performance improvement is noticeable in algorithms that uses these
symbols extensible, like the regex functions.

lowlevellock.c for arm differs from the generic lowlevellock.c only in
insignificant ways, so can be removed. Happily, this fixes BZ 15119
(unnecessary busy loop in __lll_timedlock_wait on arm).
The notable differences between the arm and generic implementations are:
1) arm __lll_timedlock_wait has a fast path out if futex has been set
to 0 between since the function was called. This seems unlikely to
happen very often, so it seems at worst harmless to lose this fast
path.
2) Some function in arm's lowlevellock.c set futex to 2 if it was 1.
The generic version always sets the futex to 2. As futex can only be
0, 1 or 2 on entry into these functions, the behaviour is equivalent.
(If the futex manages to be 0 on entry then we've just lost another
unlikely fast path out.)
There are no test suite regressions.
Note that hppa and sparc also have their own lowlevellock.c. I believe
hppa can also be removed, so I'll send a separate patch for that
shortly. sparc's seems to be genuinely needed as it uses a different
locking structure.
Also note that the analysis at
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2013-02/msg00021.html indicates a
further locking performance bug to fix - I've got a partial patch for
that which I can submit once I've finished testing.

This patch fixes what I believe to be a bug in the handling of
R_ARM_IRELATIVE RELA relocations. At present, these are handled the
same as REL relocations: i.e. the addend is loaded from the relocation
address. Most of the time this isn't a problem because RELA relocations
aren't used on ARM (GNU/Linux at least) anyway, but it causes problems
with prelink, which uses RELA on all targets for its conflict table.
(Support for ifunc prelinking requires a prelink patch, not yet posted.)
Anyway, this patch works, though I'm not 100% sure if it is correct: I
notice that this code path received attention last year:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2013-07/msg00000.html
I'm not sure under what circumstances that patch would have had an
effect, nor if my patch conflicts with that case.
No regressions using Mentor's usual glibc cross-testing infrastructure.
[BZ #16888]
* sysdeps/arm/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_rela): Fix R_ARM_IRELATIVE
handling.
This patch increases the minimum Linux kernel version for glibc to
2.6.32, as discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00511.html>.
This patch just does the minimal change to arch_minimum_kernel
settings (and LIBC_LINUX_VERSION, which determines the minimum kernel
headers version, as it doesn't make sense for that to be older than
the minimum kernel that can be used at runtime). Followups would be
expected to do, roughly and not necessarily precisely in this order:
* Remove __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION checks in kernel-features.h files
where those checks are always true / always false for kernels 2.6.32
and above.
* Otherwise simplify/improve conditionals in those files (for example,
where defining once in the main file then undefining in
architecture-specific files makes things clearer than having lots of
separate definitions of the same macro), possibly fixing in the
process cases where a macro should optimally have been defined for a
given architecture but wasn't. (In the review in preparation for
this version increase I checked what the right conditions should be
for all macros in the main kernel-features.h whose definitions there
would have been affected by the increase - but I only fixed that
subset of the issues found where --enable-kernel=2.6.32 would have
caused a kernel feature to be wrongly assumed to be present, not any
cases where a feature is not assumed but could be assumed.)
* Remove conditionals on __ASSUME_* where they can now be taken to be
always-true, and the definitions when the macros are only used in
Linux-specific files.
* Split more architectures out of the main kernel-features.h (like
ex-ports architectures), once various of the architecture
conditionals there have been eliminated so the new
architecture-specific files are no larger than actually necessary.
Tested x86_64.

[BZ #9894]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac (LIBC_LINUX_VERSION):
Change to 2.6.32.
(arch_minimum_kernel): Change all 2.6.16 settings to 2.6.32.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure: Regenerated.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/microblaze/configure.ac: Remove file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/microblaze/configure: Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile/configure.ac: Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile/configure: Likewise.
* README: Update reference to required Linux kernel version.
* manual/install.texi (Linux): Update reference to required Linux
kernel headers version.
* INSTALL: Regenerated.
This patch optimizes the FPSCR update on exception and rounding change
functions by just updating its value if new value if different from
current one. It also optimizes fedisableexcept and feenableexcept by
removing an unecessary FPSCR read.
__int128 was added in GCC 4.6 and __int128_t was added before x86-64
was supported. This patch replaces __int128 with __int128_t so that
the installed bits/link.h can be used with older GCC.
* sysdeps/x86/bits/link.h (La_x86_64_regs): Replace __int128
with __int128_t.
(La_x86_64_retval): Likewise.
