form name of tested functions for ability to use separate name for tested
functions and for functions used in test suite infrastructure.

To make a strtok faster and improve performance in general we need to do one
additional change.
A comment:
/* It doesn't make sense to send libc-internal strcspn calls through a PLT.
The speedup we get from using SSE4.2 instruction is likely eaten away
by the indirect call in the PLT. */
Does not make sense at all because nobody bothered to check it. Gap
between these implementations is quite big, when haystack is empty a
sse2 is around 40 cycles slower because it needs to populate a lookup
table and difference only increases with size. That is much bigger than
plt slowdown which is few cycles.
Even benchtest show a gap which also may be reverse by branch
misprediction but my internal benchmark shown.

For mips16, some of the linknamespace tests were failing because
[MIPS16] annotations in readelf output were wrongly interpreted as
falling in the symbol index field, meaning symbol index values were
wrongly interpreted as symbol names and such names as 1 and 2 then
resulted in namespace test failures.
This patch fixes this by removing the annotations for such
architecture-specific st_other bits before splitting the readelf
output into fields. Tested for x86_64 and mips16.
* conform/linknamespace.pl (list_syms): Remove \[.*?\] before
splitting into fields.
Programs are supposed to be able to define the __fpu_control variable,
overriding the library's version to cause the floating-point control
word to be set to the chosen value at startup.
This is broken for mips16 for static linking because the library's
__fpu_control variable is in the same object file as the helper
functions used by fpu_control.h for mips16, so test-fpucw-ieee-static
fails to link with multiple definitions of __fpu_control.
This patch fixes this by putting the helpers in a separate file rather
than overriding fpu_control.c. Tested for mips16 that this fixes the
link failure and the ABI tests still pass.

There appears to be a discrepancy among the implementations
of setcontext with regards to the function called once the last
linked-to context has finished executing via setcontext.
The POSIX standard says:
~~~
If the uc_link member of the ucontext_t structure pointed to by
the ucp argument is equal to 0, then this context is the main
context, and the thread will exit when this context returns.
~~~
It says "exit" not "exit immediately" nor "exit without running
functions registered with atexit or on_exit."
Therefore the AArch64, ARM, hppa and NIOS II implementations are
wrong and no test detects it.
It is questionable if this should even be fixed or just documented
that the above 4 targets are wrong. The functions are deprecated
and nobody should be using them, but at the same time it silly to
have cross-target differences that make it hard to port old
applications from say x86_64 to AArch64.
Therefore I will ix the 4 arches, and checkin a regression
test to prevent it from changing again.

Robin Hack discovered Samba would enter an infinite loop processing
certain quota-related requests. We eventually tracked this down to a
glibc issue.
Running a (simplified) test case under strace shows that /etc/passwd
is continuously opened and closed:
…
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
read(3, "root❌0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n"..., 4096) = 2717
lseek(3, 2717, SEEK_SET) = 2717
close(3) = 0
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
read(3, "root❌0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n"..., 4096) = 2717
lseek(3, 2717, SEEK_SET) = 2717
close(3) = 0
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
…
The lookup function implementation in
nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c:DB_LOOKUP has code to prevent that. It is
supposed skip closing the input file if it was already open.
/* Reset file pointer to beginning or open file. */ \
status = internal_setent (keep_stream); \
\
if (status == NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS) \
{ \
/* Tell getent function that we have repositioned the file pointer. */ \
last_use = getby; \
\
while ((status = internal_getent (result, buffer, buflen, errnop \
H_ERRNO_ARG EXTRA_ARGS_VALUE)) \
== NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS) \
{ break_if_match } \
\
if (! keep_stream) \
internal_endent (); \
} \
keep_stream is initialized from the stayopen flag in internal_setent.
internal_setent is called from the set*ent implementation as:
status = internal_setent (stayopen);
However, for non-host database, this flag is always 0, per the
STAYOPEN magic in nss/getXXent_r.c.
Thus, the fix is this:
- status = internal_setent (stayopen);
+ status = internal_setent (1);
This is not a behavioral change even for the hosts database (where the
application can specify the stayopen flag) because with a call to
sethostent(0), the file handle is still not closed in the
implementation of gethostent.
The implementation of roundl for ldbl-128 involves undefined behavior
for arguments with exponents from 31 to 47 inclusive, from the shift:
u_int64_t i = -1ULL >> (j0 - 48);
For example, on mips64, this means roundl (0xffffffffffff.8p0L)
wrongly returns its argument, which is not an integer. A condition
checking for exponents < 31 should actually be checking for exponents
< 48, and this patch makes it do so. (That condition is for whether
the bit representing 0.5 is in the high 64-bit half of the
floating-point number. The value 31 might have arisen from an
incorrect conversion of the ldbl-96 version to handle ldbl-128.)
This was originally reported as a GCC libquadmath bug
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65757>.
Tested for mips64; also tested for x86_64 and x86 to make sure the new
tests pass there.
[BZ #18346]

Any use of SHF_EXCLUDE in code that tries to check it against sh_flags

add_temp_file now makes a copy which is freed by delete_temp_files.
Callers to create_temp_file can now free the returned file name to
avoid the memory leak. These changes do not affect the leak behavior
of existing code.
Also address a NULL pointer derefence in tzset after a memoru allocation
failure, found during testing.
-Winline causes architecture- and optimization-dependent build failures
due to -Werror. -Winline warns about inlining decisions based on
branch hints, in effect preventing the use of inline functions in
header files (because they might be called on unlikely branches, leading
to a decision not to inline).
The option was apparently added to the glibc build at a time when GCC
did not support the always_inline attribute. With current GCC versions,
inlining failure for functions declared always_inline will receive a
warning under -Wattributes, which is enabled by default, so -Winline
appears unnecessary.
This patch adds support to query cache information on s390
via sysconf() function - e.g. with _SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_SIZE.

which was first available with z10.

This time, do it the right way, and pacify GCC with a pragma.
This does make ld.so very slightly larger (0.3%) and doesn't seem to
actually improve performance; in fact, my limited testing suggested a
slight (0.1%) performance decrease (running fork/exec of a no-op program
in a loop), but I didn't do enough testing to establish statistical
significance.
However, Roland agrees that it makes sense to switch tile to using
this path, since it's the more standard way.
This patch fix the static build for strftime, which uses __wcschr.
Current powerpc32 implementation defines the __wcschr be an alias to
__wcschr_ppc32 and current implementation misses the correct alias for
static build.
It also changes the default wcschr.c logic so a IFUNC implementation
should just define WCSCHR and undefine the required alias/internal
definitions.

According to bug 6792, errno is not set to ERANGE/EDOM
by calling log1p/log1pf/log1pl with x = -1 or x < -1.
This patch adds a wrapper which sets errno in those cases
and returns the value of the existing __log1p function.
The log1p is now an alias to the wrapper function
instead of __log1p.
The files in sysdeps are reflecting these changes.
The ia64 implementation sets errno by itself,
thus the wrapper-file is empty.

Bug 18247 is an off-by-one error in strtof's determination of a
decimal exponent such that any value with that decimal exponent is at
most half the least subnormal and so the appropriate underflowing
value for the rounding mode can be determined with no
multiple-precision computations. (Whether the value is in fact safe
despite the off-by-one depends on the floating-point format in
question. It's wrong for float and for m68k ldbl-96 but not for other
supported formats.) This patch corrects the computation of the
exponent in question to be safe in general, adding a comment
explaining the new computation.

On Alpha and IA-64, fexcept_t is unsigned long. But all the values
fit within an int, so the cast is ok for printing. All other hosts
use unsigned int or unsigned short already.
Trimming heaps is a balance between saving memory and the system overhead
required to update page tables and discard allocated pages. The malloc
option M_TRIM_THRESHOLD is a tunable that users are meant to use to decide
where this balance point is but it is only applied to the main arena.
For scalability reasons, glibc malloc has per-thread heaps but these are
shrunk with madvise() if there is one page free at the top of the heap.
In some circumstances this can lead to high system overhead if a thread
has a control flow like
while (data_to_process) {
buf = malloc(large_size);
do_stuff();
free(buf);
}
For a large size, the free() will call madvise (pagetable teardown, page
free and TLB flush) every time followed immediately by a malloc (fault,
kernel page alloc, zeroing and charge accounting). The kernel overhead
can dominate such a workload.
This patch allows the user to tune when madvise gets called by applying
the trim threshold to the per-thread heaps and using similar logic to the
main arena when deciding whether to shrink. Alternatively if the dynamic
brk/mmap threshold gets adjusted then the new values will be obeyed by
the per-thread heaps.
Bug 17195 was a test case motivated by a problem encountered in scientific
applications written in python that performance badly due to high page fault
overhead. The basic operation of such a program was posted by Julian Taylor
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00373.html
With this patch applied, the overhead is eliminated. All numbers in this
report are in seconds and were recorded by running Julian's program 30
times.

To illustrate the problem without python this is a basic test-case for
the worst case scenario where every free is a madvise followed by a an alloc
/* gcc bench-free.c -lpthread -o bench-free */
static int num = 1024;
void __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) dostuff (void *p)
{
}
void *worker (void *data)
{
int i;
for (i = num; i--;)
{
void *m = malloc (48*4096);
dostuff (m);
free (m);
}
return NULL;
}
int main()
{
int i;
pthread_t t;
void *ret;
if (pthread_create (&t, NULL, worker, NULL))
exit (2);
if (pthread_join (t, &ret))
exit (3);
return 0;
}
Before the patch, this resulted in 1024 calls to madvise. With the patch applied,
madvise is called twice because the default trim threshold is high enough to avoid
this.
This a more complex case where there is a mix of frees. It's simply a different worker
function for the test case above
void *worker (void *data)
{
int i;
int j = 0;
void *free_index[num];
for (i = num; i--;)
{
void *m = malloc ((i % 58) *4096);
dostuff (m);
if (i % 2 == 0) {
free (m);
} else {
free_index[j++] = m;
}
}
for (; j >= 0; j--)
{
free(free_index[j]);
}
return NULL;
}
glibc 2.21 calls malloc 90305 times but with the patch applied, it's
called 13438. Increasing the trim threshold will decrease the number of
times it's called with the option of eliminating the overhead.
ebizzy is meant to generate a workload resembling common web application
server workloads. It is threaded with a large working set that at its core
has an allocation, do_stuff, free loop that also hits this case. The primary
metric of the benchmark is records processed per second. This is running on
my desktop which is a single socket machine with an I7-4770 and 8 cores.
Each thread count was run for 30 seconds. It was only run once as the
performance difference is so high that the variation is insignificant.

threads 2 19153 84925
threads 4 34295 134569
threads 8 51007 183387
Note that the saving happens to be a concidence as the size allocated
by ebizzy was less than the default threshold. If a different number of
chunks were specified then it may also be necessary to tune the threshold
to compensate
This is roughly quadrupling the performance of this benchmark. The difference in
system CPU usage illustrates why.

With copy relocation, address of protected data defined in the shared
library may be external. When there is a relocation against the
protected data symbol within the shared library, we need to check if we
should skip the definition in the executable copied from the protected
data. This patch adds ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA and defines
it for x86. If ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA isn't 0, do_lookup_x
will skip the data definition in the executable from copy reloc.

IFUNC is difficult to correctly implement on any target needing a GOT
to support position independent code, due to the dependency on order
of dynamic relocations. ld.so should be changed to apply IFUNC
relocations last, globally, because without that it is actually
impossible to write an IFUNC resolver in C that works in all
situations. Case in point, vfork in libpthread.so is an IFUNC with
the resolver returning &__libc_vfork. (system and fork are similar.)
If another shared library, libA say, uses vfork then it is quite
possible that libpthread.so hasn't been dynamically relocated before
the unfortunate libA is dynamically relocated. In that case the GOT
entry for &__libc_vfork is still zero, so the IFUNC resolver returns
NULL. LD_BIND_NOW=1 results in libA PLT dynamic relocations being
applied using this NULL value and ld.so segfaults.
This patch hardens ld.so to not segfault on a NULL from an IFUNC
resolver. It also fixes a problem with undefined weak. If you leave
the plt entry as-is for undefined weak then if the entry is ever
called it will loop in ld.so rather than segfaulting.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_fixup_plt):
Don't segfault if ifunc resolver returns a NULL. Do set plt to
zero for undefined weak.

This patch follows the approach outlined in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-03/msg00656.html> to
support six-argument syscalls from INTERNAL_SYSCALL for 32-bit x86,
making them call a function __libc_do_syscall that takes the syscall
number and three syscall arguments in the registers in which the
kernel expects them, along with a pointer to a structure containing
the other three arguments.
In turn, this allows the generic lowlevellock-futex.h to be used on
32-bit x86, so supporting lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset (and so allowing
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME to be used in various cases, so fixing bug 18138
for 32-bit x86 and leaving hppa as the only architecture missing
lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset). The change to lowlevellock.h's
definition of SYS_futex is because the generic lowlevelloc-futex.h
ends up bringing in bits/syscall.h which defines SYS_futex to
__NR_futex, so resulting in redefinition errors. The revised
definition in lowlevellock.h is in line with what the x86_64 version
does.
__libc_do_syscall is only needed in libpthread at present (meaning
nothing special needs to be done to make it shared-only in most
libraries containing it, static in libc only, as on ARM).
Tested for 32-bit x86, with the glibc testsuite and with the test in
bug 18138. The failures seen
FAIL: nptl/tst-cleanupx4
FAIL: rt/tst-cpuclock2
are pre-existing.

This patch is glibc support for a PowerPC TLS optimization, inspired
by Alexandre Oliva's TLS optimization for other processors,
http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/writeups/TLS/RFC-TLSDESC-x86.txt
In essence, this optimization uses a zero module id in the tls_index
GOT entry to indicate that a TLS variable is allocated space in the
static TLS area. A special plt call linker stub for __tls_get_addr
checks for such a tls_index and if found, returns the offset
immediately. The linker communicates the fact that the special
__tls_get_addr stub is used by setting a bit in the dynamic tag
DT_PPC64_OPT/DT_PPC_OPT. glibc communicates to the linker that this
optimization is available by the presence of __tls_get_addr_opt.
tst-tlsmod2.so is built with -Wl,--no-tls-get-addr-optimize for
tst-tls-dlinfo, which otherwise would fail since it tests that no
static tls is allocated. The ld option --no-tls-get-addr-optimize has
been available since binutils-2.20 so doesn't need a configure test.

The x86_64 and x86 libm-test-ulps files hadn't been regenerated from
scratch for some time, as evidenced by the presence of entries for
*_tonearest functions (those tests duplicated the
default-rounding-mode tests, and such duplicates are no longer run).
The aarch64, alpha, hppa, ia64, m68k, microblaze, powerpc, s390, sh,
sparc, tile files similarly could do with from-scratch regeneration as
evidenced by the presence of such entries. (Truncate the existing
file then run "make regen-ulps" and move the resulting file into
place.)
This patch regenerates the x86_64 and x86 files from scratch. It's
likely some of the reduced / removed ulps will need restoring because
they appear on processors or compiler versions other than the one I
tested on, but in such cases I'd like to first see if I can generate
new tests that show such ulps on the Intel processor I'm testing on,
to reduce the effects from different people using different processors
and compilers to regenerate the ulps.

In testing for x86_64 on an AMD processor, I observed libm test
failures of the form:
testing long double (without inline functions)
Failure: Test: log2_downward (0x2.b7e151628aed4p+0)
Result:
is: 1.44269504088896356633e+00 0xb.8aa3b295c17f67600000p-3
should be: 1.44269504088896356622e+00 0xb.8aa3b295c17f67500000p-3
difference: 1.08420217248550443400e-19 0x8.00000000000000000000p-66
ulp : 1.0000
max.ulp : 0.0000
Maximal error of `log2_downward'
is : 1 ulp
accepted: 0 ulp
These issues arise because the maximum ulps when regenerating on one
processor are not the same as on another processor, so regeneration on
several processors may be needed when updating libm-test-ulps to avoid
failures for some users testing glibc - but such regeneration on
multiple processors is inconvenient. Causes can be: on x86 and, for
x86_64, for long double, variation in results of x87 instructions for
transcendental operations between processors; on x86, variation in
compiler excess precision between compiler versions and
configurations; on any processor where the compiler may contract
expressions using fused multiply-add, variation in what contraction
occurs.
Although it's hard to be sure libm-test-ulps covers all ulps that may
be seen in any configuration for the given architecture, in practice
it helps simply to add wider test coverage to make it more likely
that, when testing on one processor, the ulps seen are the biggest
that can be seen for that function on that processor, and hopefully
they are also the biggest that can be seen for that function in other
configurations for that architecture. Thus, this patch adds some
tests of log2 that increase the ulps I see on x86_64 on an Intel
processor, so that hopefully future from-scratch regenerations on that
processor will produce ulps big enough not to have errors from testing
on AMD processors. These tests were found by randomly generating
inputs and seeing what produced ulps larger than those currently in
libm-test-ulps. Of course such increases also improve the accuracy of
the empirical table of known ulps generated from libm-test-ulps files
that goes in the manual.

sem_timedwait converts absolute timeouts to relative to pass them to
the futex syscall. (Before the recent reimplementation, on x86_64 it
used FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, but not on other architectures.)
Correctly implementing POSIX requirements, however, requires use of
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME; passing a relative timeout to the kernel does
not conform to POSIX. The POSIX specification for sem_timedwait says
"The timeout shall be based on the CLOCK_REALTIME clock.". The POSIX
specification for clock_settime says "If the value of the
CLOCK_REALTIME clock is set via clock_settime(), the new value of the
clock shall be used to determine the time of expiration for absolute
time services based upon the CLOCK_REALTIME clock. This applies to the
time at which armed absolute timers expire. If the absolute time
requested at the invocation of such a time service is before the new
value of the clock, the time service shall expire immediately as if
the clock had reached the requested time normally.". If a relative
timeout is passed to the kernel, it is interpreted according to the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock, and so fails to meet that POSIX requirement in
the event of clock changes.
This patch makes sem_timedwait use lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset with
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME when possible, as done in some other places in
NPTL. FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME is always available for supported Linux
kernel versions; unavailability of lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset is only
an issue for hppa (an issue noted in
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/PortStatus>, and fixed by the
unreviewed
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-12/msg00655.html> that
removes the hppa lowlevellock.h completely).
In the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME case, the glibc code still needs to check
for negative tv_sec and handle that as timeout, because the Linux
kernel returns EINVAL not ETIMEDOUT for that case, so resulting in
failures of nptl/tst-abstime and nptl/tst-sem13 in the absence of that
check. If we're trying to distinguish between Linux-specific and
generic-futex NPTL code, I suppose having this in an nptl/ file isn't
ideal, but there doesn't seem to be any better place at present.
It's not possible to add a testcase for this issue to the testsuite
because of the requirement to change the system clock as part of a
test (this is a case where testing would require some form of
container, with root in that container, and one whose CLOCK_REALTIME
is isolated from that of the host; I'm not sure what forms of
containers, short of a full virtual machine, provide that clock
isolation).
Tested for x86_64. Also tested for powerpc with the testcase included
in the bug.

_rpc_dtablesize() that memory does not get initialised and may in theory

* nptl_db/td_symbol_list.c: Drop gnu/lib-names.h include.
(td_lookup): Rename to...
(td_mod_lookup): ... this. Use new mod parameter instead of
LIBPTHREAD_SO.
* nptl_db/td_thr_tlsbase.c: Include link.h.
(dtv_slotinfo_list, dtv_slotinfo): New functions.
(td_thr_tlsbase): Check DTV generation. Compute Static TLS
addresses even if the DTV is out of date or missing them.
* nptl_db/fetch-value.c (_td_locate_field): Do not refuse to
index zero-length arrays.
* nptl_db/thread_dbP.h: Include gnu/lib-names.h.
(td_lookup): Make it a macro implemented in terms of...
(td_mod_lookup): ... this declaration.
* nptl_db/db-symbols.awk (DB_RTLD_VARIABLE): Override.
(DB_MAIN_VARIABLE): Likewise.
We need to add a BND prefix before indirect branch at the end of
_dl_runtime_resolve to preserve bound registers.
[BZ #18134]
* sysdeps/x86_64/dl-trampoline.S (PRESERVE_BND_REGS_PREFIX): New.
(_dl_runtime_resolve): Add a BND prefix before indirect branch.
In bug 14906 the user complains that the inotify support in nscd
is not sufficient when it comes to detecting changes in the
configurationfiles that should be watched for the various databases.
The current nscd implementation uses inotify to watch for changes in
the configuration files, but adds watches only for IN_DELETE_SELF and
IN_MODIFY. These watches are insufficient to cover even the most basic
uses by a system administrator. For example using emacs or vim to edit
a configuration file should trigger a reload but it might not if
the editors use move to atomically update the file. This atomic update
changes the inode and thus removes the notification on the file (as
inotify is based on inodes). Thus the inotify support in nscd for
configuration files is insufficient to account for the average use
cases of system administrators and users.
The inotify support is significantly enhanced and described here:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00504.html
Tested on x86_64 with and without inotify support.
This patch makes soft-fp use static assertions in place of conditional
calls to abort, in places where there are checks for conditions (on
the types for which a macro is used) that the code is not prepared to
handle. The fallback definition of _FP_STATIC_ASSERT (for kernel use
only, as only relevant to compilers not supported for building glibc)
is as in misc/sys/cdefs.h.
This means that soft-fp only ever calls abort for _FP_UNREACHABLE
calls in builds with GCC versions before 4.5. Thus, there is no need
for an abort declaration or <stdlib.h> include, since the kernel code
handles defining abort as a macro itself - and so this avoids any need
for an __KERNEL__ condition on the abort declaration to avoid it
breaking with the kernel's macro definition. That is, this patch is
intended to make glibc's soft-fp code suitable for kernel use with no
kernel-local changes to the soft-fp code needed at all.
Tested for powerpc-nofpu that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch. One explicit <stdlib.h> include had to be
added to a file that was relying on the include from soft-fp.h.
* soft-fp/soft-fp.h (_FP_STATIC_ASSERT): New macro.
[_LIBC]: Do not include <stdlib.h>.
[!_LIBC] (abort): Remove declaration.
* soft-fp/op-2.h (_FP_MUL_MEAT_2_120_240_double): Use
_FP_STATIC_ASSERT instead of conditionally calling abort.
* soft-fp/op-common.h (_FP_FROM_INT): Likewise.
(_FP_EXTEND_CNAN): Likewise.
(FP_TRUNC): Likewise.
(__FP_CLZ): Likewise.
* sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/flt-rounds.c: Include <stdlib.h>.
ldconfig is using an aux-cache to speed up the ld.so.cache update. It
is read by mmaping the file to a structure which contains data offsets
used as pointers. As they are not checked, it is not hard to get
ldconfig to segfault with a corrupted file. This happens for instance if
the file is truncated, which is common following a filesystem check
following a system crash.
This can be reproduced for example by truncating the file to roughly
half of it's size.
There is already some code in elf/cache.c (load_aux_cache) to check
for a corrupted aux cache, but it happens to be broken and not enough.
The test (aux_cache->nlibs >= aux_cache_size) compares the number of
libs entry with the cache size. It's a non sense, as it basically
assumes that each library entry is a 1 byte... Instead this commit
computes the theoretical cache size using the headers and compares it
to the real size.
With AIX port deprecated there is no need to check/define
HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME anymore since the current minimum binutils
supported (2.22) does not emit global symbol with dot.
This patch removes all the HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME definition and
checks for powerpc64 port.
The function feupdateenv has been fixed to correctly handle FE_DFL_ENV
and FE_NOMASK_ENV.
The fesetexceptflag function has been fixed to correctly handle setting
the new flags instead of just OR-ing the existing flags.
This fixes the test-fenv-return and test-fenvinline failures on hppa.
The constraints in the inline assembly in feholdexcept and fesetenv
are incorrect. The assembly modifies the buffer pointer, but doesn't
express that in the constraints. The simple fix is to remove the
modification of the buffer pointer which is no longer required by
the existing code, and adjust the one constraint that did express
the modification of bufptr.
The change fixes test-fenv when glibc is compiled with recent gcc.
