This patch fixes bug 16408, ldbl-128ibm expm1l returning NaN for some
large arguments.
The basic problem is that the approach of converting the exponent to
the form n * log(2) + y, where -0.5 <= y <= 0.5, then computing 2^n *
expm1(y) + (2^n - 1) falls over when 2^n overflows (starting slightly
before the point where expm1 overflows, when y is negative and n is
the least integer for which 2^n overflows). The ldbl-128 code, and
the x86/x86_64 code, make expm1l fall back to expl for large positive
arguments to avoid this issue. This patch makes the ldbl-128ibm code
do the same. (The problem appears for the particular argument in the
testsuite because the ldbl-128ibm code also uses an overflow threshold
that's for ldbl-128 and is too big for ldbl-128ibm, but the problem
described applies for large non-overflowing cases as well, although
during the freeze is not a suitable time for making the expm1 tests
cover cases close to overflow more thoroughly.)
This leaves some code for large positive arguments in expm1l that is
now dead. To keep the code for ldbl-128 and ldbl-128ibm similar, and
to avoid unnecessary changes during the freeze, the patch doesn't
remove it; instead I propose to file a bug in Bugzilla as a reminder
that this code (for overflow, including errno setting, and for
arguments of +Inf) is no longer needed and should be removed from both
those expm1l implementations.
Tested powerpc32.
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_expm1l.c (__expm1l): Use __expl
for large positive arguments.
This patch marks more libm tests as expected to fail for ldbl-128ibm
in non-default rounding modes. Given this, my expm1l fix
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00135.html> and my
libgcc fix <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-01/msg00157.html>
for spurious overflows, the remaining failures in test-ldouble.out
(for powerpc32 hard float) are small ulps, spurious underflow and
inexact exceptions (the former probably arising from libgcc bugs
though I haven't checked each case; the latter are barely meaningful
for this format anyway when basic arithmetic isn't correctly rounding,
though most of them are probably GCC bug 59412 which doesn't actually
involve long double), missing underflow exceptions from clog, ctan and
ctanh (probably one of the known bugs for another function), and logb
in round-downward mode (bug 887, though it's really a GCC bug that
we're not currently working around).
Tested for powerpc32 hard float.
* math/auto-libm-test-in: Mark various tests with
xfail-rounding:ldbl-128ibm.
* math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
This patch fixes bug 16407, spurious overflows from ldbl-128ibm coshl.
The implementation assumed that a high part (reinterpreted as an
integer) of the absolute value of the argument of 0x408633ce8fb9f87dLL
or more meant overflow, but the actual threshold has high part
0x408633ce8fb9f87eLL (and a negative low part). The patch adjusts the
threshold accordingly.
sinhl probably has the same issue, but I didn't get that far in adding
tests of special cases (such as just below and above overflow) before
the freeze and during the freeze is not a suitable time to add them
(as they'd require ulps to be regenerated again), so I'm not changing
that function for now; when I add more tests of special cases, we'll
discover whether sinhl indeed has this problem.
Tested powerpc32.
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/e_coshl.c (__ieee754_coshl):
Increase overflow threshold.
This patch fixes bug 16400, spurious underflow exceptions for ldbl-128
/ ldbl-128ibm lgammal with small positive arguments, by just using
-__logl (x) as the result in the problem cases (similar to the
previous fix for problems with small negative arguments).
Tested powerpc32, and also tested on mips64 that this does not require
ulps regeneration for the ldbl-128 case.
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128/e_lgammal_r.c (__ieee754_lgammal_r):
Return -__logl (x) for small positive arguments without evaluating
a polynomial.
All the other ptrace structures in this file have a __ prefix except this
new one. This in turn causes build problems for most packages that try to
use ptrace such as strace:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../linux/x86_64 -I../../linux \
-I./linux -Wall -Wwrite-strings -g -O2 -MT process.o -MD -MP \
-MF .deps/process.Tpo -c -o process.o ../../process.c

Since this struct was introduced in glibc-2.18, there shouldn't be any
real regressions with adding the __ prefix.

Usage output for option --invalidate=TABLE is not helpful without
list of tables. The list is also missing from nscd(8) manual which
made it pretty difficult to know what are the tables.
This patch fixes bug 16390, incorrect signs of zero results from
ldbl-128ibm atan2l, soft-float only. The problem is a longstanding
GCC bug with fabsl not being correct for signed zero for soft float,
and the fix is using -fno-builtin-fabsl as a workaround, as already
done for various other source files. Tested powerpc-nofpu.
* sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/Makefile [$(subdir) = math]
(CFLAGS-e_atan2l.c): Use -fno-builtin-fabsl.
This patch marks various libm tests with xfail-rounding:ldbl-128ibm,
where the failures appear to relate to GCC bug 59666 (bad libgcc
handling of directed rounding), so as to allow clean libm-test-ulps
regeneration without needing to edit out large ulps for various
functions manually.
Note that this only deals with the cases problematic for ulps
regeneration. There are plenty of test failures left that do not
affect ulps regeneration - results that are infinities or NaNs but
should be finite, or vice versa, and missing and spurious exceptions -
which should also be resolved during the release testing period.
Tested for powerpc32 (hard float).
* math/auto-libm-test-in: Mark various tests with
xfail-rounding:ldbl-128ibm.
* math/auto-libm-test-out: Regenerated.
This patch fixes bug 16386, ldbl-128ibm logl inaccuracy (with
consequent inaccuracy for lgammal) for arguments where the high double
is subnormal, which showed up while attempting to regenerate ulps for
powerpc-nofpu for 2.19. The problem here is logic failing to allow
for subnormals when calculating the exponent of the argument. Tested
for powerpc-nofpu.
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/e_logl.c (__ieee754_logl): Adjust
numbers with subnormal high part when calculating exponent.
This patch fixes bug 16385, ldbl-128ibm asinhl inaccuracy, which
showed up while attempting to regenerate ulps for powerpc-nofpu for
2.19. The problem here was use of fabs instead of fabsl meaning large
arguments were reduced to the precision of double. Tested for
powerpc-nofpu.
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_asinhl.c (__asinhl): Use fabsl not
fabs.
This patch fixes bug 16384, ldbl-128ibm acoshl inaccuracy, which
showed up while attempting to regenerate ulps for powerpc-nofpu for
2.19. There were two separate problems, use of __log1p instead of
__log1pl and an insufficiently accurate constant value for log 2
(which this patch replaces by use of M_LN2l), each of which could
cause substantial inaccuracy in affected cases.
Tested for powerpc-nofpu.
* sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/e_acoshl.c (ln2): Initialize with
M_LN2l.
(__ieee754_acoshl): Use __log1pl not __log1p.
nscd incorrectly returns a success even when the netgroup in question
is not found and adds a positive result in the cache. this patch
fixes this behaviour by adding a negative lookup entry to cache and
returning an error when the netgroup is not found.
Currently, when a user looks up a netgroup that does not have any
members, nscd goes into an infinite loop trying to find members in the
group. This is because it does not handle cases when getnetgrent
returns an NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND (which is what it does on empty group).
Fixed to handle this in the same way as NSS_STATUS_RETURN, similar to
what getgrent does by itself.
We support older kernels that lack this header, so check for it
before we try to use it.

Add a comprehensive number of inputs for all branches in sin and cos
computation, excluding the fast paths. This also adds a number of
inputs for the multiple precision slow paths.
Add a more comprehensive set of inputs for the atan function. I have
also fixed the name on the multiple precision fallback inputs (I
couldn't find any new inputs there) to reflect the fact that the
fallback is only 144bits and not 768bits as I had earlier mentioned.
Like sinh and cosh, this patch has benchmark inputs for asinh and
acosh, generated using a random number generator and spread over
significant branches, ignoring the fast return paths.
Add a full set of inputs for sinh and cosh functions generated using a
random number generator and spreading it over all branches in the
function, ignoring the fast paths (i.e. immediate return for special
values).
In the string/string.h and string/strings.h headers, we have a couple
of macros that "tell the caller that we provide correct C++
prototypes" according to the comment; they are used to determine
whether to wrap some prototypes in "extern "C++"" (and provide
multiple overloads of them, and some other magic) when __cplusplus is
defined.
The macros are set to check for sufficiently-recent GCC versions (4.4
and later), but this is not the right check for non-GCC compilers. In
particular, these macros should also be set when using Clang -- if
they are not set, then Clang will be unable to correctly diagnose a
number of subtle bugs that will be errors in GCC compilations.
As per discussion on earlier versions of this patch, rather than
restrict the fix to Clang per se, we assume that all C++ compilers that
claim to fully support C++98 are using a standard-conforming C++
standard library, which seems pretty reasonable. Clang has been
providing an appropriate value of __cplusplus since May 2012.
Perform sanity check only if we have_lock. Due to lockless nature of fastbins
we need to be careful derefencing pointers to fastbin entries (chunksize(old)
in this case) in multithreaded environments.
The fix is to add have_lock to the if-condition checks. The rest of the patch
only makes code more readable.
* malloc/malloc.c (_int_free): Perform sanity check only if we
have_lock.
