GCC marked OABI obsolete in 4.7 and dropped it in 4.8. So the number
of people this is catching is shrinking every day. At this point,
it's not terribly useful, so just drop it.
This sets __HAVE_64B_ATOMICS if provided. It also sets
USE_ATOMIC_COMPILER_BUILTINS to true if the existing atomic ops use the
__atomic* builtins (aarch64, mips partially) or if this has been
tested (x86_64); otherwise, this is set to false so that C11 atomics will
be based on the existing atomic operations.
This patch removes conditionals in ARM code on __GNUC_PREREQ(4,4),
which were already obsolete even before the move from 4.4 to 4.6 as
minimum GCC version for building glibc.
Tested for ARM that installed shared libraries are unchanged by this
patch.

Continuing the removal of the obsolete INTDEF / INTUSE mechanism, this
patch eliminates its use for _dl_init. Since _dl_init was already
declared with hidden visibility, creating a second hidden alias for it
was completely pointless, so this patch replaces all uses of
_dl_init_internal with plain _dl_init instead of using hidden_proto /
hidden_def (which are only needed when you want a hidden alias for a
non-hidden symbol; it's quite possible there are cases where they are
used but don't need to be because the symbol in question is not part
of the public ABI and is only used within a single library, so using
attributes_hidden instead would suffice).
Tested for x86_64 that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch.

This is a change to the dynamic linker to add prelinker support for the
R_ARM_TLS_DESC relocation. Two cases can be considered here, the usual
one where lazy binding is in use and the less frequent one, where
immediate binding is requested via the use of the DF_BIND_NOW dynamic
flag (e.g. by using the GNU linker's "-z now" option).
This change only handles the first case. In this scenario the prelinker
does what the dynamic linker would do, that is it preinitialises
R_ARM_TLS_DESC relocations with a pointer to the lazy specialization as
provided with the DT_TLSDESC_PLT dynamic tag. A conflict is
additionally created and in the conflict resolution path the dynamic
linker complements the work by initialising the object's pointer as
indicated by the DT_TLSDESC_GOT dynamic tag to the linker's internal
lazy specialization worker function and also providing the associated
link map in the second entry of the GOT. This step is required, because
if prelinking is successful at the run time, then the dynamic linker's
elf_machine_runtime_setup() function isn't called that would normally do
so.
The second case remains unresolved, because support for that scenario
has not been implemented in the prelinker. In this case the lazy
specialization is unavailable and the DT_TLSDESC_PLT dynamic tag is not
present.
The prelinker could assume the common case of static specialization and
resolve the relocation, but that would require the exposure of dynamic
linker's specialization worker function. Furthermore the dynamic linker
would have to handle the relocation in the conflict resolution path and
see if the dynamic specialization should be used instead. This however
would require access to data structures currently not made available to
the conflict resolution path and therefore a redesign of this part of
the dynamic linker.
Alternatively the prelinker could defer all processing to the dynamic
linker's conflict resolution path, but that would require similar access
to the said data structures.
Therefore the prelinker issues an error instead and the dynamic linker
has assertions to check that DT_TLSDESC_PLT and DT_TLSDESC_GOT are in
use in its conflict resolution path.
This change resolves all TLS failures in the prelinker testsuite, as
noted in the bug report, as well as the small test case provided there.
Unfortunately we don't seem to have any hooks to factor in the prelinker
(if present on a system) to testing, so at this time this fix has to
rely on using the prelinker test suite and enabling TLS descriptors
there for coverage.
[BZ #17078]
* sysdeps/arm/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_rela)
[RESOLVE_CONFLICT_FIND_MAP]: Handle R_ARM_TLS_DESC relocation.
(elf_machine_lazy_rel): Handle prelinked R_ARM_TLS_DESC entries.
Various architectures have files such as sysdeps/<arch>/shlib-versions
whose contents are in fact entirely Linux-specific, relating only to
the symbol / shared library versions for the port to Linux on that
architecture, when any future port to a different OS on that
architecture would use the symbol version of the glibc release it goes
in, as standard for new ports.
This patch moves such files under sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/, merging in
the contents of sysdeps/<arch>/nptl/shlib-versions in the process.
The only bits not moved are those relating to libgcc_s versions, which
don't appear OS-specific in the same way that glibc's symbol versions
so. It deliberately does not change the regular expressions given for
matching configurations in each file; some match only Linux although
not Linux-specific, or match other OSes although Linux-specific. It
is with a view to at least the following further cleanups:
* Move architecture-specific content from the toplevel shlib-versions
and nptl/shlib-versions into sysdeps shlib-versions files, so
eliminating another difference between ex-ports and non-ex-ports
architectures.
* Likewise, for OS-specific content in shlib-versions files.
* At that point, the first field in shlib-versions files (the regular
expression matching a configuration triplet) should be redundant, so
eliminate that field and leave shlib-versions selection working
purely on a sysdeps basis (with limited use of %ifdef in
shlib-versions files when needed) rather than having its own
separate mechanism to select what configuration information is
relevant.
* Move the build of gnu/lib-names.h to a similar mechanism to that
used for gnu/stubs.h (each library build installing a version of the
header specifically for that build), so we can eliminate the
duplication of soname information in the makefiles and get it purely
from shlib-versions files again.
There may be other cleanups possible as well (in particular, I'm not
sure that all cases where the same "Earliest symbol set" information
is repeated for many different libraries actually should need to
repeat it rather than specifying it just once for DEFAULT for the
given configuration, and separately specifying any non-default choices
of soname).
Tested x86_64 that the installed shared libraries are unchanged by
this patch.

This patch removes the configure test for working -z relro.
The use of -z relro in Makeconfig became unconditional with
commit 2e6ab1df44c412bb9d30b26a4d8a679150a7e375

Remove conditional code which now is unnecessary.
(commit reference from git://repo.or.cz/glibc/history), so since then
the configure test has not controlled anything about how glibc is
built - simply about whether configure succeeds and allows a build to
be attempted. The test for whether the option did something useful
(as opposed to whether it exists - which we can certainly just assume
by now) was originally added in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2004-09/msg00069.html> to
disable the option in a case when it did nothing useful on ia64 (as a
result of something deliberate in the linker on ia64). Since 2006
that disabling has been of no effect, and given that the current test
does not set libc_relro_required for ia64, it does nothing whatever
useful for the original motivating case. Also at around the same time
in 2006 the test was made to give an error for missing or broken -z
relro support on various architectures.
So effectively all the test does now is verify that, on certain
architectures, the linker has not been changed deliberately to make
the option ineffective. I see no apparent reason why such a change
should be expected, or why the build should be stopped if it were to
be made (any more than we disallow build on ia64); I think we can
trust binutils patch review to point out the consequences of any
change to COMMONPAGESIZE setting. The only thing that might now make
sense would be disabling the -z relro use on an architecture-specific
basis if there were an architecture-specific reason to consider that
to make sense; it would be for the ia64 maintainer to decide if that
makes sense for ia64 at present, but I think that could be done
through sysdeps Makefiles - no special configure tests needed.
Tested for x86_64 that this patch makes no change to the installed
shared libraries.
Together with
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00788.html> (pending
review) this substantially eliminates architecture-specific cases from
architecture-independent configure.ac files. There remains an i386
case in sysdeps/mach/hurd/configure.ac that should properly move to
the i386 subdirectory. (There are also OS-specific cases outside
OS-specific directories; in principle I think should should also
move.)

This patch removes configure tests for assembler CFI support (and
thereby eliminates an architecture-specific case in the main
configure.ac), instead assuming that support is present
unconditionally.
The main test was added in 2003 around the time CFI support was added
to the assembler. cfi_personality and cfi_lsda support were added to
the assembler in 2006. cfi_sections support was added in 2009, a few
weeks before binutils 2.20 was released; it's in 2.20, the minimum
supported version, so even that configure test is obsolete.

This fixes the calculation of R_ARM_TLS_DESC relocations for lazy global
symbol references, i.e. created with `-z lazy' in effect with the static
linker, where immediate resolution is requested with LD_BIND_NOW.
This patch relies on the C version of the rwlocks posted earlier.
With C rwlocks it is very straight forward to do adaptive elision
using TSX. It is based on the infrastructure added earlier
for mutexes, but uses its own elision macros. The macros
are fairly general purpose and could be used for other
elision purposes too.
This version is much cleaner than the earlier assembler based
version, and in particular implements adaptation which makes
it safer.
I changed the behavior slightly to not require any changes
in the test suite and fully conform to all expected
behaviors (generally at the cost of not eliding in
various situations). In particular this means the timedlock
variants are not elided. Nested trylock aborts.
The current code for handling concurrent resolution says that the
ABI for _dl_tlsdesc_resolve_hold is the same as that of
_dl_tlsdesc_lazy_resolver. However _dl_tlsdesc_resolve_hold is
called from the trampoline directly rather than the lazy resolver
stub so, for example, r2 has not been pushed so does not needed
to be restored.
This fixes an intermittent failure in nptl/tst-tls3 when building
glibc for arm-linux-gnueabihf with -mtls-dialect=gnu2.

Commit 7d92b78723 [Fix ARM NAN fraction
bits.] removed all the bits set from NANFRAC macros and, when propagated
to libgcc, regressed gcc.dg/torture/builtin-math-7.c on soft-fp arm-eabi
targets, currently ARMv6-M (`-march=armv6-m -mthumb') only. This is
because when used to construct a NaN in the semi-raw mode, they now
build an infinity instead. Consequently operations such as (Inf - Inf)
now produce Inf rather than NaN. The change worked for the original
test case, posted with PR libgcc/60166, because division is made in the
canonical mode, where the quiet bit is set separately, from the fp
class.
This change brings the quiet bit back to these macros, making semi-raw
mode calculations produce the expected results again.
This patch cleans up some symbol versioning code in the ARM port that
exists only as relics of the old-ABI port, which was removed some time
ago.
The minimum symbol version in the ARM port is GLIBC_2.4 (the version
where the EABI port was introduced). Thus, any SHLIB_COMPAT
conditionals where the later version is 2.4 or later are obsolete and
can be removed. In addition, there is no need to set symbol versions
before 2.4 explicitly if the symbols would have a version of 2.4 by
default anyway. This includes most of the entries in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/Versions: those for GLIBC_2.0 are for
libgcc unwind functions that aren't actually in ARM EABI glibc at all,
while those for GLIBC_2.2 and GLIBC_2.3.3 are for functions which for
the old-ABI port may have had versions different from the
architecture-independent default, but where for EABI the default
suffices (both the default and the version in that file map to 2.4, so
the entries in that file do nothing). The GLIBC_2.1 entries are
needed (architecture-specific functions), but it seems less confusing
for those to say GLIBC_2.4, as the actual version those symbols in
fact have.
Various cases in the <fenv.h> functions where a function is defined as
__fe* with an fe* versioned alias are cleaned up just to define fe*
directly, as done e.g. on AArch64. If in future we actually need an
__fe* name for use from C90 functions in libm as discussed recently,
of course we can add one on all architectures and make the fe* name
into a weak alias for that particular function, but for now the __fe*
names aren't needed.
In the case of posix_fadvise64, the __posix_fadvise64_l64 name and
posix_fadvise64 alias are kept as __posix_fadvise64_l64 is used in
posix_fadvise. (For that to be a namespace-clean use, posix_fadvise64
needs to be a *weak* alias not a strong one as at present, but that's
an independent preexisting bug.)
(There remain references to GLIBC_2_2 in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/{msgctl.c,semctl.c,shmctl.c}. As those
files are used by alpha which has a genuine 2.2 version for those
functions, I think those references need to stay as-is.)
Tested that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is unchanged
by this patch (though function names shown in disassembly change to no
longer have @@GLIBC_2.4, now those functions get versioned only by the
version map and not redundantly at assembler time) and that the ABI
tests pass.

This patch fixes what I believe to be a bug in the handling of
R_ARM_IRELATIVE RELA relocations. At present, these are handled the
same as REL relocations: i.e. the addend is loaded from the relocation
address. Most of the time this isn't a problem because RELA relocations
aren't used on ARM (GNU/Linux at least) anyway, but it causes problems
with prelink, which uses RELA on all targets for its conflict table.
(Support for ifunc prelinking requires a prelink patch, not yet posted.)
Anyway, this patch works, though I'm not 100% sure if it is correct: I
notice that this code path received attention last year:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2013-07/msg00000.html
I'm not sure under what circumstances that patch would have had an
effect, nor if my patch conflicts with that case.
No regressions using Mentor's usual glibc cross-testing infrastructure.
