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.
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.
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.
Some symbols have to be identified process-wide by their name. This is
particularly important for some C++ features (e.g., class local static data
and static variables in inline functions). This cannot completely be
implemented with ELF functionality so far. The STB_GNU_UNIQUE binding
helps by ensuring the dynamic linker will always use the same definition for
all symbols with the same name and this binding.
Some of the new multi-arch string functions for x86-64 were
not aligned to 16 byte boundarie,s possibly creating unnecessary
cache line misses and delays.
This patch adds SSSE3 strcpy/stpcpy. I got up to 4X speed up on Core 2
and Core i7. I disabled it on Atom since SSSE3 version is slower for
shorter (<64byte) data.
I changed the files NSS backend for networks because I thought the
getent use of getnetbyaddr is correct. But it isn't. Undo parts
of the last change and fix getent.
There were two problems in the getnetbyaddr implementation. The type
argument is pretty much useless since (almost) no input file contains
this information and the NSS backends make up the value they fill in
for the n_addrtype field. Therefore we now declare that passing AF_UNSPEC
is always recognized. Secondly, the files backend didn't compare the network
numbers with the correct endianess.
Also change getent to take advantage of the type parameter change.
There is some more shardware/software out there which has problems
if two DNS requests are sent using the same tuple
(source addr, source port, dest addr, dest port)
This can range from firewalls to load balancers. Some of the vendors
already fixed it in response to this problem. Still, we need a way
to make glibc work with broken environments. The single-request-reopen
flag can be used or we fall back automatically to this mode.
The check for the inclusion of a group in the result gave up too early
in case of broken-up NIS groups. We now fall back automatically to
the slow mode of using getgrent_r. As an optimization, if there is
not blacklist we need not perform the check in the first place and
therefore can just accept the results of the initgroups_dyn callback.
The terminal output etc is not visible in a core file. The new
libc-internal variable __abort_msg will point to a string with the
message which has been printed before the abort in case abort is
called from inside libc. BZ #10217
The dl-lookup.c changes are needed for prelink (support in prelink
checked into SVN, tested for both i?86 and x86-64), dl-irel.h just
something I discovered by code inspection.
The kernel from 2.3.31 on supports the rt_tgsigqueueinfo syscall.
Use it to implement the non-standard extension which, like
sigqueue, can pass additional data to the receiving thread.
Old binutils don't provide IFUNC and don't generate the section start/end
symbols we expect. At least for now only add the initializer code for
static IFUNC relocations if multi-arch support is requested.
The test to call the indirect function now includes a subtest to
checked whether the symbol is defined. When coming to that point
this is almost always the case. The test for STT_GNU_IFUNC on the
other hand rarely is true. Move it to the front means we don't have
to perform the second test unless really necessary.
SO far Intel and AMD use exactly the same bits meaning the same
things in CPUID index 1. Simplify the code. Should an architecture
come along which doesn't use the same semantics then it must use a
different index value than COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_1.
The latest stratcliff extension exposed a bug in the IA-64 memchr which
uses non-speculative loads to prefetch data. Change the code to use
speculative loads with appropriate fixup. Fixes BZ 10162.
There are two issues with the forced loop exit in the nscd lookup:
1. the estimate of the entry size isn't pessimistic enough for all
databases, resulting potentially is too early exits
2. the combination of 64-bit process and 32-bit nscd would lead to
rejecting valid records in the database.
The nscd database mapped in processes can change at any time. We
have to be more vigilant when it comes to using that memory. Test
the data entries are valid in their entire size, don't read data
again from memory once we verified it, and make sure the trailing
pointer is not going off the deep end.
If longjmp restores the stack frame to an address which is beyond
the stack frame at the time of the longjmp call it would install
an uninitialized stack frame. If compiled with _FORTIFY_SOURCE
defined, longjmp will now bail out in this situation.
Add a text program, built to run on the host, to check all newly
built DSOs for executable stacks and fail if the stack information
is missing or indicates executable stacks.
