The example did not work because the null byte was not converted, and
mbrtowc was called with a zero-length input string. This results in a
(size_t) -2 return value, so the function always returns NULL.
The size computation for the heap allocation of the result was
incorrect because it did not deal with integer overflow.
Error checking was missing, and the allocated memory was not freed on
error paths. All error returns now set errno. (Note that there is an
assumption that free does not clobber errno.)
The slightly unportable comparision against (size_t) -2 to catch both
(size_t) -1 and (size_t) -2 return values is gone as well.
A null wide character needs to be stored in the result explicitly, to
terminate it.
The description in the manual is updated to deal with these finer
points. The (size_t) -2 behavior (consuming the input bytes) matches
what is specified in ISO C11.

The opening parenthesis for function arguments in an @deftypefun need
to be separated from the function name. This isn't just a matter of

To build static PIE, all .o files are compiled with -fPIE. Since
--enable-static-pie is designed to provide additional security hardening
benefits, it also implies that glibc programs and tests are created as
dynamic position independent executables (PIE) by default for better
security hardening.

These changes will be active for all platforms that don't provide
their own exp() routines. They will also be active for ieee754
versions of ccos, ccosh, cosh, csin, csinh, sinh, exp10, gamma, and
erf.
Typical performance gains is typically around 5x when measured on
Sparc s7 for common values between exp(1) and exp(40).
Using the glibc perf tests on sparc,
sparc (nsec) x86 (nsec)
old new old new
max 17629 395 5173 144
min 399 54 15 13
mean 5317 200 1349 23
The extreme max times for the old (ieee754) exp are due to the
multiprecision computation in the old algorithm when the true value is
very near 0.5 ulp away from an value representable in double
precision. The new algorithm does not take special measures for those
cases. The current glibc exp perf tests overrepresent those values.
Informal testing suggests approximately one in 200 cases might
invoke the high cost computation. The performance advantage of the new
algorithm for other values is still large but not as large as indicated
by the chart above.
Glibc correctness tests for exp() and expf() were run. Within the
test suite 3 input values were found to cause 1 bit differences (ulp)
when "FE_TONEAREST" rounding mode is set. No differences in exp() were
seen for the tested values for the other rounding modes.
Typical example:
exp(-0x1.760cd2p+0) (-1.46113312244415283203125)
new code: 2.31973271630014299393707e-01 0x1.db14cd799387ap-3
old code: 2.31973271630014271638132e-01 0x1.db14cd7993879p-3
exp = 2.31973271630014285508337 (high precision)
Old delta: off by 0.49 ulp
New delta: off by 0.51 ulp
In addition, because ieee754_exp() is used by other routines, cexp()
showed test results with very small imaginary input values where the
imaginary portion of the result was off by 3 ulp when in upward
rounding mode, but not in the other rounding modes. For x86, tgamma
showed a few values where the ulp increased to 6 (max ulp for tgamma
is 5). Sparc tgamma did not show these failures. I presume the tgamma
differences are due to compiler optimization differences within the
gamma function.The gamma function is known to be difficult to compute
accurately.

Static PIE extends address space layout randomization to static
executables. It provides additional security hardening benefits at
the cost of some memory and performance.
Dynamic linker, ld.so, is a standalone program which can be loaded at
any address. This patch adds a configure option, --enable-static-pie,
to embed the part of ld.so in static executable to create static position
independent executable (static PIE). A static PIE is similar to static
executable, but can be loaded at any address without help from a dynamic
linker. When --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc, libc.a is
built as PIE and all static executables, including tests, are built as
static PIE. The resulting libc.a can be used together with GCC 8 or
above to build static PIE with the compiler option, -static-pie. But
GCC 8 isn't required to build glibc with --enable-static-pie. Only GCC
with PIE support is needed. When an older GCC is used to build glibc
with --enable-static-pie, proper input files are passed to linker to
create static executables as static PIE, together with "-z text" to
prevent dynamic relocations in read-only segments, which are not allowed
in static PIE.
The following changes are made for static PIE:
1. Add a new function, _dl_relocate_static_pie, to:
a. Get the run-time load address.
b. Read the dynamic section.
c. Perform dynamic relocations.
Dynamic linker also performs these steps. But static PIE doesn't load
any shared objects.
2. Call _dl_relocate_static_pie at entrance of LIBC_START_MAIN in
libc.a. crt1.o, which is used to create dynamic and non-PIE static
executables, is updated to include a dummy _dl_relocate_static_pie.
rcrt1.o is added to create static PIE, which will link in the real
_dl_relocate_static_pie. grcrt1.o is also added to create static PIE
with -pg. GCC 8 has been updated to support rcrt1.o and grcrt1.o for
static PIE.
Static PIE can work on all architectures which support PIE, provided:
1. Target must support accessing of local functions without dynamic
relocations, which is needed in start.S to call __libc_start_main with
function addresses of __libc_csu_init, __libc_csu_fini and main. All
functions in static PIE are local functions. If PIE start.S can't reach
main () defined in a shared object, the code sequence:
pass address of local_main to __libc_start_main
...
local_main:
tail call to main via PLT
can be used.
2. start.S is updated to check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path and
avoid dynamic relocation, when PIC is defined and SHARED isn't defined,
to support static PIE.
3. All assembly codes are updated check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code
path to avoid dynamic relocations in read-only sections.
4. All assembly codes are updated check SHARED instead PIC for static
symbol name.
5. elf_machine_load_address in dl-machine.h are updated to support static
PIE.
6. __brk works without TLS nor dynamic relocations in read-only section
so that it can be used by __libc_setup_tls to initializes TLS in static
PIE.
NB: When glibc is built with GCC defaulted to PIE, libc.a is compiled
with -fPIE, regardless if --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc.
When glibc is configured with --enable-static-pie, libc.a is compiled
with -fPIE, regardless whether GCC defaults to PIE or not. The same
libc.a can be used to build both static executable and static PIE.
There is no need for separate PIE copy of libc.a.
On x86-64, the normal static sln:
text data bss dec hex filename
625425 8284 5456 639165 9c0bd elf/sln
the static PIE sln:
text data bss dec hex filename
657626 20636 5392 683654 a6e86 elf/sln
The code size is increased by 5% and the binary size is increased by 7%.
Linker requirements to build glibc with --enable-static-pie:
1. Linker supports --no-dynamic-linker to remove PT_INTERP segment from
static PIE.
2. Linker can create working static PIE. The x86-64 linker needs the
fix for
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21782
The i386 linker needs to be able to convert "movl main@GOT(%ebx), %eax"
to "leal main@GOTOFF(%ebx), %eax" if main is defined locally.
Binutils 2.29 or above are OK for i686 and x86-64. But linker status for
other targets need to be verified.
3. Linker should resolve undefined weak symbols to 0 in static PIE:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22269
4. Many ELF backend linkers incorrectly check bfd_link_pic for TLS
relocations, which should check bfd_link_executable instead:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22263
Tested on aarch64, i686 and x86-64.

There is a configure option --without-fp that specifies that nofpu
sysdeps directories should be used instead of fpu directories.
For most glibc configurations, this option is of no use: either there
is no valid nofpu variant of that configuration, or there are no fpu
or nofpu sysdeps directories for that processor and so the option does
nothing. For a few configurations, if you are using a soft-float
compiler this option is required, and failing to use it generally
results in compilation errors from inline asm using unavailable
floating-point instructions.
We're moving away from --with-cpu to configuring glibc based on how
the compiler generates code, and it is natural to do so for
--without-fp as well; in most cases the soft-float and hard-float ABIs
are incompatible so you have no hope of building a working glibc with
an inappropriately configured compiler or libgcc.
This patch eliminates --without-fp, replacing it entirely by automatic
configuration based on the compiler. Configurations for which this is
relevant (coldfire / mips / powerpc32 / sh) define a variable
with_fp_cond in their preconfigure fragments (under the same
conditions under which those fragments do anything); this is a
preprocessor conditional which the toplevel configure script then uses
in a test to determine which sysdeps directories to use.
The config.make with-fp variable remains. It's used only by powerpc
(sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/Makefile) to add -mhard-float to various
flags variables. For powerpc, -mcpu= options can imply use of
soft-float. That could be an issue if you want to build for
e.g. 476fp, but are using --with-cpu=476 because there isn't a 476fp
sysdeps directory. If in future we eliminate --with-cpu and replace
it entirely by testing the compiler, it would be natural at that point
to eliminate that code as well (as the user should then just use a
compiler defaulting to 476fp and the 476 sysdeps directory would be
used automatically).
Tested for x86_64, and tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed
shared libraries are unchanged by this patch.

This patch continues filling out TS 18661-3 support by adding *f64 and
*f32x function aliases, supporting _Float64 and _Float32x, as aliases
for double functions. These types are supported for all glibc
configurations. The API corresponds exactly to that for _Float128 and
_Float64x. _Float32 aliases to float functions remain to be added in
subsequent patches to complete this process (then there are a few
miscellaneous functions in TS 18661-3 to implement that aren't simply
versions of existing functions for new types).
The patch enables the feature in bits/floatn-common.h, adds symbol
versions and documentation with updates to ABI baselines, and arranges
for the libm functions for the new types to be tested. As with the
_Float64x changes there are some x86 ulps updates because of header
inlines not used for the new types (and one other change to the
non-multiarch libm-test-ulps, which I suppose comes from using a
different compiler version / configuration from when it was last
regenerated).

This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends
on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled,
and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime
selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of
the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].
Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.

This adds system call wrappers for pkey_alloc, pkey_free, pkey_mprotect,
and x86-64 implementations of pkey_get and pkey_set, which abstract over
the PKRU CPU register and hide the actual number of memory protection
keys supported by the CPU. pkey_mprotect with a -1 key is implemented
using mprotect, so it will work even if the kernel does not support the
pkey_mprotect system call.
The system call wrapers use unsigned int instead of unsigned long for
parameters, so that no special treatment for x32 is needed. The flags
argument is currently unused, and the access rights bit mask is limited
to two bits by the current PKRU register layout anyway.

There is a subtle non-determinism when building glibc.
This depends on whether the glibc is built using the distibuted
file intl/plural.c or built using the generated file intl/plural.c.
These two files (intl/plural.c generated vs. distributed) are slightly
different, hence we may end up with slightly different libraries.
Originally, having "bison" installed was optional. So if "bison" was
not present, we always built libraries with the distributed plural.c.
If bison was installed, we *** may have *** replaced the distributed
file plural.c with a new plural.c generated from plural.y. if the
timestamps triggered this rule:
plural.c plural.y
$(BISON) $(BISONFLAGS) $@ $^
Given that timestamps are not preserved in GIT repositories, the above
rule is not reliable without explicitly touching plural.c or plural.y.
In other words, the rule may or may not have fired.
In summary: there are two distinct sources of non-determinism:
1. Having "bison" installed or not
2. Having "bison" installed but timestamps poorly defined.
This patch fixes this by requiring "bison" being installed
and by always generating intl/plural.c from intl/plural.y.
(This is achieved by simply removing checked-in intl/plural.c)
[BZ #22432]
* configure.ac (BISON): Require to be present.
* configure: Regenerated.
* intl/Makefile (generated): Add plural.c.
[$(BISON) != no]: Make code unconditional.

This patch continues filling out TS 18661-3 support by adding *f64x
function aliases on platforms with _Float64x support. (It so happens
the set of such platforms is exactly the same as the set of platforms
with _Float128 support, although on x86_64, x86 and ia32 the _Float64x
format is Intel extended rather than binary128.) The API provided
corresponds exactly to that provided for _Float128, mostly coming from
TS 18661-3. As these functions always alias those for another type
(long double, _Float128 or both), __* function names are not provided,
as in other cases of alias types.
Given the preparation done in previous patches, this one just enables
the feature via Makeconfig and bits/floatn.h, adds symbol versions,
and updates documentation and ABI baselines. The symbol versions are
present unconditionally as GLIBC_2.27 in the relevant Versions files,
as it's OK for those to specify versions for functions that may not be
present in some configurations; no additional complexity is needed
unless in future some configuration gains support for this type that
didn't have such support in 2.27. The Makeconfig additions for ia64
and x86 aren't strictly needed, as those configurations also get
float64x-alias-fcts definitions from
sysdeps/ieee754/float128/Makeconfig, but still seem appropriate given
that _Float64x is not _Float128 for those configurations.
A libm-test-ulps update for x86 is included. This is because
bits/mathinline.h does not have _Float64x support added and for two
functions the use of out-of-line functions results in increased ulps
(ifloat64x shares ulps with ildouble / ifloat128 as appropriate).
Given that we'd like generally to eliminate bits/mathinline.h
optimizations, preferring to have such optimizations in GCC instead,
it seems reasonable not to add such support there for new types. GCC
support for _FloatN / _FloatNx built-in functions is limited, but has
been improved in GCC 8, and at some point I hope the full set of libm
built-in functions in GCC, and other optimizations with
per-floating-type aspects, will be enabled for all _FloatN / _FloatNx
types.
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py, with both
GCC 6 and GCC 7.

The system call is somewhat obscure because it is closely related
to file descriptor sealing. However, it is also the recommended
way to create alias mappings, which is why it has more general use.
No emulation is provided. Except for the name of the
/proc/self/fd links, it would be possible to implement an
approximation using O_TMPFILE and tmpfs, but this does not appear
to be worth the added complexity.

The _SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE is reported using the contents of the

cache line size as long as cache cleaning and invalidation work
correctly with that line size in userspace. The falkor core for

This patch adds support for *f128 function aliases on platforms where
long double has the binary128 format (and thus GCC 7 provides the
_Float128 type with the same ABI as long double but as a distinct type
in terms of C type compatibility). This is the same API as provided
in glibc 2.26 for powerpc64le / x86_64 / x86 / ia64 where _Float128
has a different format from long double, with the bulk of the API
coming from TS 18661-3. All the functions alias the corresponding
long double functions, and __* function names are not provided since
those are only needed once for each floating-point format, not more
than once for different types with the same format (so for example,
-ffinite-math-only maps foof128 to __fool_finite, while type-generic
macros end up calling e.g. __issignalingl for _Float128 arguments on
such platforms).
The preparation for this feature was done in previous patches, so this
one just needs to add the relevant makefile and header definitions,
and update macro definitions of libm_alias_ldouble_other_r, to turn on
the feature, and update documentation and ABI baselines.
