Continuing the series of patches to clean up conformtest expectations
for "POSIX" (1995/6) based on review of the expectations against the
standard, this patch cleans up expectations for stdlib.h and
string.h. Tested x86_64; no new XFAILs needed.
* conform/data/stdlib.h-data [POSIX] (stddef.h): Do not allow
header inclusion.
[POSIX] (limits.h): Likewise.
[POSIX] (math.h): Likewise.
[POSIX] (sys/wait.h): Likewise.
* conform/data/string.h-data [POSIX || UNIX98] (strtok_r): Require
function.
[POSIX] (stddef.h): Do not allow header inclusion.
lll_unlock() will be called again if it goes to "wake_all" in
pthread_cond_broadcast(). This may make another thread which is
waiting for lock in pthread_cond_timedwait() unlock. So there are
more than one threads get the lock, it will break the shared data.
It's introduced by commit 8313cb997d2d("FUTEX_*_REQUEUE_PI support for
non-x86 code")
The datahead structure has an unused padding field that remains
uninitialized. Valgrind prints out a warning for it on querying a
netgroups entry. This is harmless, but is a potential data leak since
it would result in writing out an uninitialized byte to the cache
file. Besides, this happens only when there is a cache miss, so we're
not adding computation to any fast path.
This patch consolidates the code to initialize the header of a dataset
into a single set of functions (one for positive and another for
negative datasets) primarily to reduce repetition of code. The
secondary reason is to simplify Patch 2/2 which fixes the problem of
an uninitialized byte in the header by initializing an unused field in
the structure and hence preventing a possible data leak into the cache
file.
[Fixes BZ #14308, #12994, #13651]
AF_UNSPEC results in sending two queries in parallel, one for the A
record and the other for the AAAA record. If one of these is a
referral, then the query fails, which is wrong. It should return at
least the one successful response.
The fix has two parts. The first part makes the referral fall back to
the SERVFAIL path, which results in using the successful response.
There is a bug in that path however, due to which the second part is
necessary. The bug here is that if the first response is a failure
and the second succeeds, __libc_res_nsearch does not detect that and
assumes a failure. The case where the first response is a success and
the second fails, works correctly.
This condition is produced by buggy routers, so here's a crude
interposable library that can simulate such a condition. The library
overrides the recvfrom syscall and modifies the header of the packet
received to reproduce this scenario. It has two key variables:
mod_packet and first_error.
The mod_packet variable when set to 0, results in odd packets being
modified to be a referral. When set to 1, even packets are modified
to be a referral.
The first_error causes the first response to be a failure so that a
domain-appended search is performed to test the second part of the
__libc_nsearch fix.
The driver for this fix is a simple getaddrinfo program that does an
AF_UNSPEC query. I have omitted this since it should be easy to
implement.
I have tested this on x86_64.
The interceptor library source:
/* Override recvfrom and modify the header of the first DNS response to make it
a referral and reproduce bz #845218. We have to resort to this ugly hack
because we cannot make bind return the buggy response of a referral for the
AAAA record and an authoritative response for the A record. */

This patch removes the ports/README now that ports is no longer
being used. It also adds a header to all ChangeLogs for all machines
that were moved to the main libc tree. The header indicates that the
ChangeLog is no longer used.
This patch optimizes the FPSCR update on exception and rounding change
functions by just updating its value if new value if different from
current one. It also optimizes fedisableexcept and feenableexcept by
removing an unecessary FPSCR read.
__int128 was added in GCC 4.6 and __int128_t was added before x86-64
was supported. This patch replaces __int128 with __int128_t so that
the installed bits/link.h can be used with older GCC.
* sysdeps/x86/bits/link.h (La_x86_64_regs): Replace __int128
with __int128_t.
(La_x86_64_retval): Likewise.
In the glibc manual we have a "Roadmap to the manual" section at
the end of the "Introduction" chapter.
The introductory text says "Here is an overview of the contents
of the remaining chapters of this manual.", but then proceeds to
list chapters out of order and some chapter are never referenced.
This commit reorders the overview to correctly match the manual
order.

This patch removes the arch specific powerpc implementation and instead
uses the linux default one. Although the current powerpc implementation
already constains the required memory barriers for correct
initialization, the default implementation shows a better performance on
newer chips.
Calling setcontext from a signal handler can be done safely so
it is sufficient to note that it is not recommended.
Also mention in setcontext documentation that the behaviour of
setcontext when restoring a context created by a call to a signal
handler is unspecified.
2014-04-17 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/setjmp.texi (System V contexts): Add note that
calling setcontext on a context created by a call to a
signal handler is undefined. Update text to note that
setcontext from a signal handler is possible but not
recommended.
On aarch64 calling swapcontext clobbers the state of the signal
stack (BZ #16629). Check that the address and size of the signal
stack before and after the call to swapcontext remains the same.
ChangeLog:

[BZ #16629]
* stdlib/tst-setcontext.c: Include signal.h.
(main): Check that the signal stack before and
after swapcontext is the same.
The current implementation of setcontext uses rt_sigreturn to restore
the contents of registers. This contrasts with the way most other
architectures implement setcontext:
powerpc64, mips, tile:
Call rt_sigreturn if context was created by a call to a signal handler,
otherwise restore in user code.
powerpc32:
Call swapcontext system call and don't call sigreturn or rt_sigreturn.
x86_64, sparc, hppa, sh, ia64, m68k, s390, arm:
Only support restoring "synchronous" contexts, that is contexts
created by getcontext, and restoring in user code and don't call
sigreturn or rt_sigreturn.
alpha:
Call sigreturn (but not rt_sigreturn) in all cases to do the restore.
The text of the setcontext manpage suggests that the requirement to be
able to restore a signal handler created context has been dropped from
SUSv2:
If the context was obtained by a call to a signal handler, then old
standard text says that "program execution continues with the program
instruction following the instruction interrupted by the signal".
However, this sentence was removed in SUSv2, and the present verdict
is "the result is unspecified".
Implementing setcontext by calling rt_sigreturn unconditionally causes
problems when used with sigaltstack as in BZ #16629. On this basis it
seems that aarch64 is broken and that new ports should only support
restoring contexts created with getcontext and do not need to call
rt_sigreturn at all.
This patch re-implements the aarch64 setcontext function to restore
the context in user code in a similar manner to x86_64 and other ports.
ChangeLog:
2014-04-17 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
[BZ #16629]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/setcontext.S (__setcontext):
Re-implement to restore registers in user code and avoid
rt_sigreturn system call.
