c43c579612 Introduce _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3
Introduce a new _FORTIFY_SOURCE level of 3 to enable additional
fortifications that may have a noticeable performance impact, allowing
more fortification coverage at the cost of some performance.

With llvm 9.0 or later, this will replace the use of
__builtin_object_size with __builtin_dynamic_object_size.

__builtin_dynamic_object_size
-----------------------------

__builtin_dynamic_object_size is an LLVM builtin that is similar to
__builtin_object_size.  In addition to what __builtin_object_size
does, i.e. replace the builtin call with a constant object size,
__builtin_dynamic_object_size will replace the call site with an
expression that evaluates to the object size, thus expanding its
applicability.  In practice, __builtin_dynamic_object_size evaluates
these expressions through malloc/calloc calls that it can associate
with the object being evaluated.

A simple motivating example is below; -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 would miss
this and emit memcpy, but -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 with the help of
__builtin_dynamic_object_size is able to emit __memcpy_chk with the
allocation size expression passed into the function:

void *copy_obj (const void *src, size_t alloc, size_t copysize)
{
  void *obj = malloc (alloc);
  memcpy (obj, src, copysize);
  return obj;
}

Limitations
-----------

If the object was allocated elsewhere that the compiler cannot see, or
if it was allocated in the function with a function that the compiler
does not recognize as an allocator then __builtin_dynamic_object_size
also returns -1.

Further, the expression used to compute object size may be non-trivial
and may potentially incur a noticeable performance impact.  These
fortifications are hence enabled at a new _FORTIFY_SOURCE level to
allow developers to make a choice on the tradeoff according to their
environment.

844b4d8b4b s390x: Require GCC 7.1 or later to build glibc.
GCC 6.5 fails to correctly build ldconfig with recent ld.so.cache
commits, e.g.:
785969a047
elf: Implement a string table for ldconfig, with tail merging

If glibc is build with gcc 6.5.0:
__builtin_add_overflow is used in
<glibc>/elf/stringtable.c:stringtable_finalize()
which leads to ldconfig failing with "String table is too large".
This is also recognizable in following tests:
FAIL: elf/tst-glibc-hwcaps-cache
FAIL: elf/tst-glibc-hwcaps-prepend-cache
FAIL: elf/tst-ldconfig-X
FAIL: elf/tst-ldconfig-bad-aux-cache
FAIL: elf/tst-ldconfig-ld_so_conf-update
FAIL: elf/tst-stringtable

See gcc "Bug 98269 - gcc 6.5.0 __builtin_add_overflow() with small
uint32_t values incorrectly detects overflow"

f88242af19 S390: Derive float_t from FLT_EVAL_METHOD
float_t supposedly represents the type that is used to evaluate float
expressions internally. While the isa supports single-precision float
operations, the port of glibc to s390 incorrectly deferred to the
generic definitions which, back then, tied float_t to double. gcc by
default evaluates float in single precision, so that scenario violates
the C standard (sections 5.2.4.2.2 and 7.12 in C11/C17). With
-fexcess-precision=standard, gcc evaluates float in double precision,
which aligns with the standard yet at the cost of added conversion
instructions.

With this patch, we drop the s390-specific definition of float_t and
defer to the default behavior, which aligns float_t with the
compiler-defined FLT_EVAL_METHOD in a standard-compliant way.

Checked on s390x-linux-gnu with 31-bit and 64-bit builds.

9a99c68214 iconv: Accept redundant shift sequences in IBM1364 [BZ #26224]
The IBM1364, IBM1371, IBM1388, IBM1390 and IBM1399 character sets
share converter logic (iconvdata/ibm1364.c) which would reject
redundant shift sequences when processing input in these character
sets.  This led to a hang in the iconv program (CVE-2020-27618).

This commit adjusts the converter to ignore redundant shift sequences
and adds test cases for iconv_prog hangs that would be triggered upon
their rejection.  This brings the implementation in line with other
converters that also ignore redundant shift sequences (e.g. IBM930
etc., fixed in commit 692de4b396).

ab5ee31e14 Move vtimes to a compatibility symbol
I couldn't pinpoint which standard has added it, but no other POSIX
system supports it and/or no longer provide it.  The 'struct vtimes'
also has a lot of drawbacks due its limited internal type size.

I couldn't also see find any project that actually uses this symbol,
either in some dignostic way (such as sanitizer).  So I think it should
be safer to just move to compat symbol, instead of deprecated.  The
idea it to avoid new ports to export such broken interface (riscv32
for instance).

27fe5f2e67 Linux: Require properly configured /dev/pts for PTYs

grantpt is now essentially a no-op.  It only verifies that the

After some discussions it seems the original news was not clear
and that it is valid to manually pass the branch protection flags
iff GCC target libs are built with them too. The main difference
between manually passing the flags and using the configure
option is that the latter also makes branch protection the
default in GCC which may not be desirable in some cases.

5500cdba40 Remove --enable-obsolete-rpc configure flag
Sun RPC was removed from glibc. This includes rpcgen program, librpcsvc,
and Sun RPC headers. Also test for bug #20790 was removed
(test for rpcgen).

Backward compatibility for old programs is kept only for architectures
and ABIs that have been added in or before version 2.28.

libtirpc is mature enough, librpcsvc and rpcgen are provided in
rpcsvc-proto project.

NOTE: libnsl code depends on Sun RPC (installed libnsl headers use
installed Sun RPC headers), thus --enable-obsolete-rpc was a dependency
for --enable-obsolete-nsl (removed in a previous commit).

The arc ABI list file has to be updated because the port was added

The variable is placed in libc.so, and it can be true only in

Since thread creation from inner namespaces does not work,
pthread_create can update __libc_single_threaded directly.

Using __libc_early_init and its initial flag, implementation of this
variable is very straightforward.  A future version may reset the flag
during fork (but not in an inner namespace), or after joining all

0c76fc3c2b Linux: Perform rseq registration at C startup and thread creation
Register rseq TLS for each thread (including main), and unregister for
each thread (excluding main).  "rseq" stands for Restartable Sequences.

See the rseq(2) man page proposed here:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/19/647

Those are based on glibc master branch commit 3ee1e0ec5c.
The rseq system call was merged into Linux 4.18.

The TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS define is increased to leave additional room for
dlopen'd initial-exec TLS, which keeps elf/tst-auditmany working.

The increase (76 bytes) is larger than 32 bytes because it has not been
increased in quite a while.  The cost in terms of additional TLS storage
is quite significant, but it will also obscure some initial-exec-related
dlopen failures.

051be01f6b powerpc64le: Enable support for IEEE long double
On platforms where long double may have two different formats, i.e.: the
same format as double (64-bits) or something else (128-bits), building
with -mlong-double-128 is the default and function calls in the user
program match the name of the function in Glibc.  When building with
-mlong-double-64, Glibc installed headers redirect such calls to the
appropriate function.

Likewise, the internals of glibc are now built against IEEE long double.
However, the only (minimally) notable usage of long double is difftime.

50545f5aa0 powerpc64le: raise GCC requirement to 7.4 for long double transition
Add compiler feature tests to ensure we can build ieee128 long double.
These test for -mabi=ieeelongdouble, -mno-gnu-attribute, and -Wno-psabi.

Likewise, verify some compiler bugs have been addressed.  These aren't
helpful for building glibc, but may cause test failures when testing
the new long double.  See notes below from Raji.

On powerpc64le, some older compiler versions give error for the function
signbit() for 128-bit floating point types.  This is fixed by PR83862
in gcc 8.0 and backported to gcc6 and gcc7.  This patch adds a test
to check compiler version to avoid compiler errors during make check.

Likewise, test for -mno-gnu-attribute support which was

On powerpc64le, a few files are built on IEEE long double mode
(-mabi=ieeelongdouble), whereas most are built on IBM long double mode
(-mabi=ibmlongdouble, the default for -mlong-double-128).  Since binutils
2.31, linking object files with different long double modes causes
errors similar to:

  ld: libc_pic.a(s_isinfl.os) uses IBM long double,
      libc_pic.a(ieee128-qefgcvt.os) uses IEEE long double.
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[2]: *** [../Makerules:649: libc_pic.os] Error 1

The warnings are fair and correct, but in order for glibc to have
support for both long double modes on powerpc64le, they have to be
ignored.  This can be accomplished with the use of -mno-gnu-attribute
option when building the few files that require IEEE long double mode.

However, -mno-gnu-attribute is not available in GCC 6, the minimum
version required to build glibc, so this patch adds a test for this
feature in powerpc64le builds, and fails early if it's not available.

6d246cb852 misc: Remove sstk from the autogenerated system call list
This change should not have an effect because the system call was
never defined.  Also add the misssing attribute_compat_text_section
attribute to the sstk function (a minor optimization).  Also update the
NEWS file to document the change.

Fixes commit 9cc93ba097
("misc: Turn sstk into a compat symbol").

076f09afba Linux: Remove <sys/sysctl.h> and the sysctl function
Linux 5.5 remove the system call in commit
61a47c1ad3a4dc6882f01ebdc88138ac62d0df03 ("Linux: Remove
<sys/sysctl.h>").  Therefore, the compat function is just a stub that
sets ENOSYS.

Due to SHLIB_COMPAT, new ports will not add the sysctl function anymore
automatically.

x32 already lacks the sysctl function, so an empty sysctl.c file is
used to suppress it.  Otherwise, a new compat symbol would be added.
