Linux from 3.9 through 4.2 does not abort HTM transaction on syscalls,
instead it suspend and resume it when leaving the kernel. The
side-effects of the syscall will always remain visible, even if the
transaction is aborted. This is an issue when transaction is used along
with futex syscall, on pthread_cond_wait for instance, where the futex
call might succeed but the transaction is rolled back leading the
pthread_cond object in an inconsistent state.
Glibc used to prevent it by always aborting a transaction before issuing
a syscall. Linux 4.2 also decided to abort active transaction in
syscalls which makes the glibc workaround superfluous. Worse, glibc
transaction abortion leads to a performance issue on recent kernels
where the HTM state is saved/restore lazily (v4.9). By aborting a
transaction on every syscalls, regardless whether a transaction has being
initiated before, GLIBS makes the kernel always save/restore HTM state
(it can not even lazily disable it after a certain number of syscall
iterations).
Because of this shortcoming, Transactional Lock Elision is just enabled
when it has been explicitly set (either by tunables of by a configure
switch) and if kernel aborts HTM transactions on syscalls
(PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC). It is reported that using simple benchmark [1],
the context-switch is about 5% faster by not issuing a tabort in every
syscall in newer kernels.

The algorithm is exp(y * log(x)), where log(x) is computed with about
1.3*2^-68 relative error (1.5*2^-68 without fma), returning the result
in two doubles, and the exp part uses the same algorithm (and lookup
tables) as exp, but takes the input as two doubles and a sign (to handle
negative bases with odd integer exponent). The __exp1 internal symbol
is no longer necessary.
There is separate code path when fma is not available but the worst case
error is about 0.54 ULP in both cases. The lookup table and consts for
log are 4168 bytes. The .rodata+.text is decreased by 37908 bytes on
aarch64. The non-nearest rounding error is less than 1 ULP.

As discussed at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-09/msg00191.html> and
followup discussions, the MIPS n32 definitions of pr_sigpend and
pr_sighold in struct elf_prstatus, and pr_flag in struct elf_prpsinfo,
are wrong to use unsigned long long int; actual n32 core dumps use a
32-bit type there, so userspace unsigned long int is correct for all
MIPS ABIs. This patch removes the conditionals (also thereby aligning
the structures with other architectures and so facilitating future
unification of different versions of this header).
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for its MIPS configurations.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/sys/procfs.h (struct elf_prstatus):

(struct elf_prpsinfo): Likewise.
As noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-09/msg00178.html>, glibc's
sys/procfs.h headers for microblaze, mips (n64), nios2 and riscv have
incorrect types for the pr_uid and pr_gid members of struct
elf_prpsinfo (as does the generic Linux version, but nothing uses
that).
This patch fixes those headers to use unsigned int. The generic Linux
version is also fixed, but I do *not* recommend making new
architectures use it yet. Rather, I think it should be reworked to
look more like a copy of the AArch64 version, but with a new
<bits/procfs.h> header included to provide register set definitions;
<bits/procfs.h> would then be architecture-specific while many
architectures could use the generic <sys/procfs.h>. This fix is
deliberately separate from any reworking to use a generic header more,
since it's possible there could be uses for backporting this fix but
not for backporting a subsequent cleanup.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py. This of course doesn't provide much
validation of the structure layout; if the Linux kernel is fixed so
that "#include <linux/elfcore.h>" actually compiles with the headers
from "make headers_install" (and if the layout in both headers is
meant to be the same, whatever ABI we are building for), I have a test
that can be added to glibc to check the layout against that from the
Linux kernel.

Similar algorithm is used as in log: log2(2^k x) = k + log2(c) + log2(x/c)
where the last term is approximated by a polynomial of x/c - 1, the first
order coefficient is about 1/ln2 in this case.
There is separate code path when fma instruction is not available for
computing x/c - 1 precisely, for which the table size is doubled.
The worst case error is 0.547 ULP (0.55 without fma), the read only
global data size is 1168 bytes (2192 without fma) on aarch64. The
non-nearest rounding error is less than 1 ULP.

Optimized log using carefully generated lookup table with 1/c and log(c)
values for small intervalls around 1. The log(c) is very near a double
precision value, it has about 62 bits precision. The algorithm is
log(2^k x) = k log(2) + log(c) + log(x/c), where the last term is
approximated by a polynomial of x/c - 1. Near 1 a single polynomial of
x - 1 is used.
There is separate code path when fma instruction is not available for
computing x/c - 1 precisely, in which case the table size is doubled.
The code uses __builtin_fma under __FP_FAST_FMA to ensure it is inlined
as an instruction.
With the default configuration settings the worst case error is 0.519 ULP
(and 0.520 without fma), the rodata size is 2192 bytes (4240 without fma).
The non-nearest rounding error is less than 1 ULP.

Optimized exp and exp2 implementations using a lookup table for
fractional powers of 2. There are several variants, see e_exp_data.c,
they can be selected by modifying math_config.h allowing different
tradeoffs.
The default selection should be acceptable as generic libm code.
Worst case error is 0.509 ULP for exp and 0.507 ULP for exp2, on
aarch64 the rodata size is 2160 bytes, shared between exp and exp2.
On aarch64 .text + .rodata size decreased by 24912 bytes.
The non-nearest rounding error is less than 1 ULP even on targets
without efficient round implementation (although the error rate is
higher in that case). Targets with single instruction, rounding mode
independent, to nearest integer rounding and conversion can use them
by setting TOINT_INTRINSICS and adding the necessary code to their
math_private.h.
The __exp1 code uses the same algorithm, so the error bound of pow
increased a bit.
New double precision error handling code was added following the
style of the single precision error handling code.

Some Linux distributions are experimenting with a new, separately
maintained and hopefully more agile implementation of the crypt
API. To facilitate this, add a configure option which disables
glibc's embedded libcrypt. When this option is given, libcrypt.*
and crypt.h will not be built nor installed.
The functions encrypt, setkey, encrypt_r, setkey_r, cbc_crypt,
ecb_crypt, and des_setparity should not be used in new programs,
because they use the DES block cipher, which is unacceptably weak by
modern standards. Demote all of them to compatibility symbols, and
remove their prototypes from installed headers. cbc_crypt, ecb_crypt,
and des_setparity were already compat symbols when glibc was
configured with --disable-obsolete-rpc.
POSIX requires encrypt and setkey to be available when _XOPEN_CRYPT
is defined, so this change also removes the definition of X_OPEN_CRYPT
from <unistd.h>.
The entire "DES Encryption" section is dropped from the manual, as is
the mention of AUTH_DES and FIPS 140-2 in the introduction to
crypt.texi. The documentation of 'memfrob' cross-referenced the DES
Encryption section, which is replaced by a hyperlink to libgcrypt, and
while I was in there I spruced up the actual documentation of
'memfrob' and 'strfry' a little. It's still fairly jokey, because
those functions _are_ jokes, but they do also have real use cases, so
people trying to use them for real should have all the information
they need.
DES-based authentication for Sun RPC is also insecure and should be
deprecated or even removed, but maybe that can be left as TI-RPC's
problem.
This patch fixes the OFD ("file private") locks for architectures that
support non-LFS flock definition (__USE_FILE_OFFSET64 not defined). The
issue in this case is both F_OFD_{GETLK,SETLK,SETLKW} and
F_{SET,GET}L{W}K64 expects a flock64 argument and when using old
F_OFD_* flags with a non LFS flock argument the kernel might interpret
the underlying data wrongly. Kernel idea originally was to avoid using
such flags in non-LFS syscall, but since GLIBC uses fcntl with LFS
semantic as default it is possible to provide the functionality and
avoid the bogus struct kernel passing by adjusting the struct manually
for the required flags.
The idea follows other LFS interfaces that provide two symbols:
1. A new LFS fcntl64 is added on default ABI with the usual macros to
select it for FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.
2. The Linux non-LFS fcntl use a stack allocated struct flock64 for
F_OFD_{GETLK,SETLK,SETLKW} copy the results on the user provided
struct.
3. Keep a compat symbol with old broken semantic for architectures
that do not define __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T.
So for architectures which defines __USE_FILE_OFFSET64, fcntl64 will
aliased to fcntl and no adjustment would be required. So to actually
use F_OFD_* with LFS support the source must be built with LFS support

Kashubian language is not supported by CLDR, data copied from Wikipedia
and documents released by RJK (official Kashubian Language Council),
also consulted with a native speaker.
Note that this language also needs ab_alt_mon feature due to the month
May: nominative "môj", genitive "maja"; abbreviated nominative "môj",
abbreviated genitive "maj".

This commit improves DST handling significantly in the following
ways: firstly is_dst () is overhauled to correctly process DST
sequences that would be accepted given the ELF gABI. This means that
we actually now accept slightly more sequences than before. Now we
accept $ORIGIN$ORIGIN, but in the past we accepted only $ORIGIN\0 or
$ORIGIN/..., but this kind of behaviour results in unexpected
and uninterpreted DST sequences being used as literal search paths
leading to security defects. Therefore the first step in correcting
this defect is making is_dst () properly account for all DSTs
and making the function context free in the sense that it counts
DSTs without knowledge of path, or AT_SECURE. Next, _dl_dst_count ()
is also simplified to count all DSTs regardless of context.
Then in _dl_dst_substitute () we reintroduce context-dependent
processing for such things as AT_SECURE handling. At the level of
_dl_dst_substitute we can have access to things like the true start
of the string sequence to validate $ORIGIN-based paths rooted in
trusted directories. Lastly, we tighten up the accepted sequences
in AT_SECURE, and avoid leaving known unexpanded DSTs, this is
noted in the NEWS entry.
Verified with a sequence of 68 tests on x86_64 that cover
non-AT_SECURE and AT_SECURE testing using a sysroot (requires root
to run). The tests cover cases for bug 23102, bug 21942, bug 18018,
and bug 23259. These tests are not yet appropriate for the glibc
regression testsuite, but with the upcoming test-in-container testing
framework it should be possible to include these tests upstream soon.
See the mailing list for the tests:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-06/msg00251.html
As a followup of fixing bug 10871, these three languages now support two
grammatical cases of the month names.
This commit does not resolve the bug because there are more languages
to be committed.

The llseek function name is an obsolete, Linux-specific, unprototyped
name for lseek64 with a link-time warning. This patch completes the
obsoletion of this function name by making it into a compat symbol,
not available for newly linked programs and not included in the ABI
for new ports.
When a compat symbol is defined in syscalls.list, the code for that
function is not built at all for static linking unless some non-compat
symbol for that function is also defined with an explicit symbol
version, so an explicit symbol version for lseek64 is added to the
MIPS n32 syscalls.list. The case in make-syscalls.sh that handles
such explicit non-compat symbol versions then needs to be changed to
use weak_alias instead of strong_alias when the syscall is built
outside of libc, to avoid linknamespace failures from a strong lseek64
symbol in static libpthread.
The x32 llseek.S was as far as I could tell already unused (nothing
builds an llseek.* source file, at least since the lseek / lseek64 /
llseek consolidation), so is removed in this patch as well.
Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py.
[BZ #18471]
* sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh (emit_weak_aliases): Use weak
aliases for non-libc case of versioned symbols.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/lseek64.c: Include <shlib-compat.h>.
(llseek): Define as compat symbol if
[SHLIB_COMPAT (libc, GLIBC_2_0, GLIBC_2_28)], not as weak alias
with link warning.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n32/syscalls.list (llseek):
Make into a compat symbol, disabled for minimum symbol version
GLIBC_2.28 and later.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/llseek.S: Remove file.
The Linux nfsservctl syscall was removed in Linux 3.1. Since the
minimum kernel version for use with glibc is 3.2, the glibc wrapper
for this syscall can no longer usefully be called. This patch makes
it into a compat symbol, not provided at all for static linking or new
ports. (It was already the case that there was no header declaration
of this function.)
Tested for x86_64.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list (nfsservctl): Make into a
compat symbol, disabled for minimum symbol version GLIBC_2.28 and
later.
As for sysctl, ustat has been deprecated in favor of {f}statfs. Also
some newer ports which uses generic interface builds a stub version that
returns ENOSYS.
This patch deprecates ustat interface by removing ustat.h related headers,
adding a compatibility symbol, and avoiding new ports to build and provide
the symbol.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. Also checked with a
check-abi on all affected ABIs.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/ustat.c: Define DEV_TO_KDEV and use
generic Linux implementation.
Since tile support has been removed from the Linux kernel for 4.17,
this patch removes the (unmaintained) port to tilegx from glibc (the
tilepro support having been previously removed). This reflects the
general principle that a glibc port needs upstream support for the
architecture in all the components it build-depends on (so binutils,
GCC and the Linux kernel, for the normal case of a port supporting the
Linux kernel but no other OS), in order to be maintainable.
Apart from removal of sysdeps/tile and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile,
there are updates to various comments referencing tile for which
removal of those references seemed appropriate. The configuration is
removed from README and from build-many-glibcs.py. contrib.texi keeps
mention of removed contributions, but I updated Chris Metcalf's entry
to reflect that he also contributed the non-removed support for the
generic Linux kernel syscall interface.
__ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN support is removed, as it was only used
by tile.
* sysdeps/tile: Remove.

Make the indentation of the "Deprecated and removed features" section
for 2.28 consistent with the indentation of the "Major new features"
section above. Also, consistently refer to "stdio functions" instead
of "stdio.h functions".
Alternative (nominative/genitive) month names have been added to the
Catalan and Czech locale data and the abbreviated alternative names to
Catalan and Greek.
C99 specifies that the EOF condition on a file is "sticky": once EOF
has been encountered, all subsequent reads should continue to return
EOF until the file is closed or something clears the "end-of-file
indicator" (e.g. fseek, clearerr). This is arguably a change from
C89, where the wording was ambiguous; the BSDs always had sticky EOF,
but the System V lineage would attempt to read from the underlying fd
again. GNU libc has followed System V for as long as we've been
using libio, but nowadays C99 conformance and BSD compatibility are
more important than System V compatibility.
You might wonder if changing the _underflow impls is sufficient to
apply the C99 semantics to all of the many stdio functions that
perform input. It should be enough to cover all paths to _IO_SYSREAD,
and the only other functions that call _IO_SYSREAD are the _seekoff
impls, which is OK because seeking clears EOF, and the _xsgetn impls,
which, as far as I can tell, are unused within glibc.
The test programs in this patch use a pseudoterminal to set up the
necessary conditions. To facilitate this I added a new test-support
function that sets up a pair of pty file descriptors for you; it's
almost the same as BSD openpty, the only differences are that it
allocates the optionally-returned tty pathname with malloc, and that
it crashes if anything goes wrong.
