Fix the RLIM64_INFINITY constant for O32 and N32 ABIs to match the
kernel one. Change the getrlimit64/setrlimit64 into old compat symbols,
and provide the Linux generic getrlimit64/setrlimit64 functions as
GLIBC_2_19 version.
RLIM64_INFINITY was supposed to be a glibc convention rather than
anything seen by the kernel, but it ended being passed to the kernel
through the prlimit64 syscall. On O32 and N32 ABIs, we therefore
end-up with different values on the userland and kernel side:
* On the kernel side, the value is defined for all architectures as
include/uapi/linux/resource.h:
#define RLIM64_INFINITY (~0ULL)
* On the GNU libc side, the value is defined in
ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/bits/resource.h:
For the O32 and N32 ABI:
# define RLIM64_INFINITY 0x7fffffffffffffffULL
and for the N64 ABI:
# define RLIM64_INFINITY 0xffffffffffffffffUL
This was not a problem until the prlimit64 syscall was wired in the
2.6.36 kernel. Given the GLIBC uses the prlimit64 syscall to implement
getrlimit64 and setrlimit64, pam_limits.so is setting the limits to
a very big value instead of infinity. As a normal user process can
later only decrease the value and not increase it, it will later get
and EPERM error when trying to set the value to infinity with setrlimit.
The GLIBC has this constant for more than 7 years, and as it is defined
in a header file, it means a lot of binaries are in the wild. This patch
fixes that by adding a wrapper to fix the value passed to or received
from the kernel, before or after calling the prlimit64 syscall.
Add support for handling the R_AARCH64_IRELATIVE relocation and
STT_GNU_IFUNC symbols to the aarch64 port.

On hppa and ia64, the macro DL_AUTO_FUNCTION_ADDRESS() uses the
variable fptr[2] in it's own scope.
The content of fptr[] is thus undefined right after the macro exits.
Newer gcc's (>= 4.7) reuse the stack space of this variable triggering
a segmentation fault in dl-init.c:69.
To fix this we rewrite the macros to make the call directly to init
and fini without needing to pass back a constructed function pointer.
The hard alignment of 8 was appropriate for most platforms for
which 8-byte values are 8-byte aligned, but this is not true
for the nios2 platform, so only align to the alignment of the
8-byte type on the platform.
Remove the explicit alignment of struct statfs as it's redundant.
Autoconf has been deprecating configure.in for quite a long time.
Rename all our configure.in and preconfigure.in files to .ac.

Add support for pointer encryption in glibc internal structures in C

described here:

The ARM implementation uses global variables instead of thread pointer
relative accesses to get the value of the pointer encryption guard
because accessing the thread pointer can be very expensive on older

The pointer guard used for pointer mangling was not initialized for
static applications resulting in the security feature being disabled.
The pointer guard is now correctly initialized to a random value for
static applications. Existing static applications need to be
recompiled to take advantage of the fix.
The test tst-ptrguard1-static and tst-ptrguard1 add regression
coverage to ensure the pointer guards are sufficiently random
and initialized to a default value.
It has been a long practice for software using IEEE 754 floating-point
arithmetic run on MIPS processors to use an encoding of Not-a-Number
(NaN) data different to one used by software run on other processors.
And as of IEEE 754-2008 revision [1] this encoding does not follow one
recommended in the standard, as specified in section 6.2.1, where it
is stated that quiet NaNs should have the first bit (d1) of their
significand set to 1 while signalling NaNs should have that bit set to
0, but MIPS software interprets the two bits in the opposite manner.
As from revision 3.50 [2][3] the MIPS Architecture provides for
processors that support the IEEE 754-2008 preferred NaN encoding format.
As the two formats (further referred to as "legacy NaN" and "2008 NaN")
are incompatible to each other, tools have to provide support for the
two formats to help people avoid using incompatible binary modules.
The change is comprised of two functional groups of features, both of
which are required for correct support.
1. Dynamic linker support.
To enforce the NaN encoding requirement in dynamic linking a new ELF
file header flag has been defined. This flag is set for 2008-NaN
shared modules and executables and clear for legacy-NaN ones. The
dynamic linker silently ignores any incompatible modules it
encounters in dependency processing.
To avoid unnecessary processing of incompatible modules in the
presence of a shared module cache, a set of new cache flags has been
defined to mark 2008-NaN modules for the three ABIs supported.
Changes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/readelflib.c have been made
following an earlier code quality suggestion made here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2009-03/msg00036.html
and are therefore a little bit more extensive than the minimum
required.
Finally a new name has been defined for the dynamic linker so that
2008-NaN and legacy-NaN binaries can coexist on a single system that
supports dual-mode operation and that a legacy dynamic linker that
does not support verifying the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag is not
chosen to interpret a 2008-NaN binary by accident.
2. Floating environment support.
IEEE 754-2008 features are controlled in the Floating-Point Control
and Status (FCSR) register and updates are needed to floating
environment support so that the 2008-NaN flag is set correctly and
the kernel default, inferred from the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag
at the time an executable is loaded, respected.
As the NaN encoding format is a property of GCC code generation that is
both a user-selected GCC configuration default and can be overridden
with GCC options, code that needs to know what NaN encoding standard it
has been configured for checks for the __mips_nan2008 macro that is
defined internally by GCC whenever the 2008-NaN mode has been selected.
This mode is determined at the glibc configuration time and therefore a
few consistency checks have been added to catch cases where compilation
flags have been overridden by the user.
The 2008 NaN set of features relies on kernel support as the in-kernel
floating-point emulator needs to be aware of the NaN encoding used even
on hard-float processors and configure the FPU context according to the
value of the 2008 NaN ELF file header flag of the executable being
started. As at this time work on kernel support is still in progress
and the relevant changes have not made their way yet to linux.org master
repository.
Therefore the minimum version supported has been artificially set to
10.0.0 so that 2008-NaN code is not accidentally run on a Linux kernel
that does not suppport it. It is anticipated that the version is
adjusted later on to the actual initial linux.org kernel version to
support this feature. Legacy NaN encoding support is unaffected, older
kernel versions remain supported.

Another example of all the 64bit arches getting the definition via a
common file, but the 32bit ones all adding it by themselves and hppa
was missed.
I'm not entirely sure about the usage of GLIBC_2.19 symbols here.
We'd like to backport this so people can use it, but it means we'd
be releasing a glibc-2.17/glibc-2.18 with a GLIBC_2.19 symbol in it.
But maybe it won't be a big deal since you'd only get that 2.19 ref
if you actually used the symbol ?
There hasn't been a glibc release where hppa worked w/out a bunch of
patches, so in reality there's only two distros that matter -- Gentoo
and Debian.

Reserved bits in the Floating-Point Control and Status Register (FCSR)
should not be implicitly cleared by fedisableexcept or feenableexcept,
there is no reason to. Among these are the 8 condition codes and one of
the two bits reserved for architecture implementers (bits #22 & #21).
As to the latter, there is no reason to treat any of them as reserved
either, they should be user controllable and settable via __fpu_control
override as the user sees fit. For example in processors implemented by
MIPS Technologies, such as the 5Kf or the 24Kf, these bits are used to
change the treatment of denormalised operands and tiny results: bit #22
is Flush Override (FO) and bit #21 is Flush to Nearest (FN). They cause
non-IEEE-compliant behaviour, but some programs may have a use for such
modes of operation; the library should not obstruct such use just as it
does not for the architectural Flush to Zero (FS) bit (bit #24).
Therefore the change adjusts the reserved mask accordingly and also
documents the distinction between bits 22:21 and 20:18.

A recently-added test (dlfcn/tststatic5) pointed out that tile was not
properly initializing the variable pagesize in certain cases. This
change just copies the existing code from MIPS.
The sfp-machine.h is based on the gcc version, but extended with
required new macros by comparison with other architectures and by
investigating the hardware support for FP on tile.
This function is now called from dl_open_worker with the GL(dl_load_lock)
lock held and no longer needs local protection. GL(dl_load_lock) also
correctly protects _dl_lookup_symbol_x called here that relies on the
caller to have serialized access to the data structures it uses.
This patch introduces two new convenience functions to set the default
thread attributes used for creating threads. This allows a programmer
to set the default thread attributes just once in a process and then
run pthread_create without additional attributes.
