There will be more than one function which, in multiarch mode, wants
to use SSSE3. We should not test in each of them for Atoms with
slow SSSE3. Instead, disable the SSSE3 bit in the startup code for
such machines.
The posix/tst-rfc3484* test cases caused warnings in newer gccs
because the unused but copied sin_zero part of sockaddr_in wasn't
explicitly initialized.
References to unique symbols from copy relocations can only come
from executables which cannot be unloaded anyway. Optimize the
code to set the unload flag a bit.
If a locale does not have 8-bit characters with case conversion which
are different from the ASCII conversion (±0x20) then we can perform
some optimizations. These will follow later.
It just happens that __pthread_enable_asynccancel doesn't modify the $rdi
register. But this isn't guaranteed. Hence we reload the register after
the calls.
In EDNS0 records the maximum result size is transmitted in a 16
bit value. Large buffer sizes were handled incorrectly by using
only the low 16 bits. Fix this by limiting the size to 0xffff.
The commit 20e498bd removes the pthread_mutex_rdlock() calls, but not the
corresponding pthread_mutex_unlock() calls. Also, the database lock is never
unlocked in one branch of the mempool_alloc() if.
I think unreproducible random assert(dh->usable) crashes in prune_cache() were
caused by this. But an easy way to make nscd threads hang with the broken
locking was.
With atomic fastbins the checks performed can race with concurrent
modifications of the arena. If we detect a problem re-do the test
after getting the lock.
The following patch fixes catomic_compare_and_exchange_*_rel definitions
(which were never used and weren't correct) and uses
catomic_compare_and_exchange_val_rel in _int_free. Comparing to the
pre-2009-07-02 --enable-experimental-malloc state the generated code should
be identical on all arches other than ppc/ppc64 and on ppc/ppc64 should use
lwsync instead of isync barrier.
The original AVX patch used a function pointer to handle the difference
between machines with and without AVX support. This is insecure. A
well-placed memory exploit could lead to redirection of the execution.
Using a variable and several tests is a bit slower but cannot be
exploited in this way.
