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 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.
Due to a pasto the fallocate64 interface, introduced in glibc 2.10,
isn't exported for 32-bit Linux platforms. It is too late for this
now so exported them for glibc 2.11.
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.

[BZ #10118]
* Makeconfig (+asflags): New variable based upon ASFLAG or
asflags-cpu.
(ASFLAGS): Add override to set ASFLAGS to +asflags.
* config.make.in (asflags-cpu): Add variable based upon
@libc_cv_cc_submachine@ to propagate -mcpu=CPU from --with-cpu=CPU to
the assembler.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/power6/fpu/setcontext.S:
Remove unneeded file now that the assembler emits _ARCH_PWR6 and
recognizes power6 instruction set due to passing -mcpu=power6 from
--with-cpu=power6 when compiling .S files.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/power6/fpu/swapcontext.S:
Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/power6/fpu/setcontext.S:
Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/power6/fpu/swapcontext.S:
Likewise.
