In commit cba595c350 and commit
f81ddabffd, ABI compatibility with
applications was broken by increasing the size of the on-stack
allocated __pthread_unwind_buf_t beyond the oringal size.
Applications only have the origianl space available for
__pthread_unwind_register, and __pthread_unwind_next to use,
any increase in the size of __pthread_unwind_buf_t causes these
functions to write beyond the original structure into other
on-stack variables leading to segmentation faults in common
applications like vlc. The only workaround is to version those
functions which operate on the old sized objects, but this must
happen in glibc 2.28.
Thank you to Andrew Senkevich, H.J. Lu, and Aurelien Jarno, for
submitting reports and tracking the issue down.
The commit reverts the above mentioned commits and testing on
x86_64 shows that the ABI compatibility is restored. A tst-cleanup1
regression test linked with an older glibc now passes when run
with the newly built glibc. Previously a tst-cleanup1 linked with
an older glibc would segfault when run with an affected glibc build.
Tested on x86_64 with no regressions.

I verified that without the guard accounting change in commit
630f4cc3aa (Fix stack guard size
accounting) and RTLD_NOW for libgcc_s introduced by commit
f993b87540 (nptl: Open libgcc.so with
RTLD_NOW during pthread_cancel), the tst-minstack-cancel test fails on
an AVX-512F machine. tst-minstack-exit still passes, and either of
the mentioned commit by itself frees sufficient stack space to make
tst-minstack-cancel pass, too.

Previously if user requested S stack and G guard when creating a
thread, the total mapping was S and the actual available stack was
S - G - static_tls, which is not what the user requested.
This patch fixes the guard size accounting by pretending the user
requested S+G stack. This way all later logic works out except
when reporting the user requested stack size (pthread_getattr_np)
or when computing the minimal stack size (__pthread_get_minstack).
Normally this will increase thread stack allocations by one page.
TLS accounting is not affected, that will require a separate fix.

GCC PR 83641 results in a miscompilation of libpthread, which

All binaries use TLS and thus need a properly set up TCB, so we can
simply return its address directly, instead of forwarding to the
libpthread implementation from libc.
For versioned symbols, the dynamic linker checks that the soname matches
the name supplied by the link editor, so a compatibility symbol in
libpthread is needed.
To avoid linking against the libpthread function in all cases, we would
have to bump the symbol version of libpthread in libc.so and supply a
compat symbol. This commit does not do that because the function
implementation is so small, so the overhead by two active copies of the
same function might well be smaller than the increase in symbol table
size.
On x86, padding in struct __jmp_buf_tag is used for shadow stack pointer
to support shadow stack in Intel Control-flow Enforcemen Technology.
Since the cancel_jmp_buf array is passed to setjmp and longjmp by
casting it to pointer to struct __jmp_buf_tag, it should be as large
as struct __jmp_buf_tag. Otherwise when shadow stack is enabled,
setjmp and longjmp will write and read beyond cancel_jmp_buf when saving
and restoring shadow stack pointer.
This patch adds bits/types/__cancel_jmp_buf_tag.h to define struct
__cancel_jmp_buf_tag so that Linux/x86 can add saved_mask to
cancel_jmp_buf.

nptl/tst-attr3 fails to build with GCC mainline because of
(deliberate) aliasing between the second (attributes) and fourth
(argument to thread start routine) arguments to pthread_create.
Although both those arguments are restrict-qualified in POSIX,
pthread_create does not actually dereference its fourth argument; it's
an opaque pointer passed to the thread start routine. Thus, the
aliasing is actually valid in this case, and it's deliberate in the
test. So this patch makes the test disable -Wrestrict for the two
pthread_create calls in question. (-Wrestrict was added in GCC 7,
hence the __GNUC_PREREQ conditions, but the particular warning in
question is new in GCC 8.)

This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends
on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled,
and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime

the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].
Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.

Various subdirectories of glibc include Banner files to put some text
in the output of executing libc.so.6, under "Available extensions".
Some of those subdirectories (e.g. crypt) may originally have been
add-ons (and so optional, so a particular glibc build might or might
not have included them), but except for libidn they aren't now (or if
only included in some builds, in the case of soft-fp, the inclusion
depends on the architecture for which glibc is configured rather than
having any glibc configuration for which it's an optional feature),
and it doesn't seem useful for the libc.so.6 output to call out a few
features like that.

Unlike the vfork forwarder and like the fork forwarder as in bug 19861,
there won't be a problem when the compiler does not turn this into a tail
call.
65810f0ef0 fixed a robust mutex bug but
introduced BZ 21778: if the CAS used to try to acquire a lock fails, the
expected value is not updated, which breaks other cases in the loce
acquisition loop. The fix is to simply update the expected value with
the value returned by the CAS, which ensures that behavior is as if the
first case with the CAS never happened (if the CAS fails).
This is a regression introduced in the last release.
Tested on x86_64, i686, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, aarch64, armv7hl.
Without this fix, the rwlock can fail to execute the explicit hand-over
in certain cases (e.g., empty critical sections that switch quickly between
read and write phases). This can then lead to errors in how __wrphase_futex
is accessed, which in turn can lead to deadlocks.
Single thread optimization is valid if at thread creation time the
optimization can be disabled. This is in principle true for all
stream objects that user code can access (and thus needs locking),
using the same internal list as fflush(0) uses. However in glibc
open_memstream is not on that list (BZ 21735) so the optimization
has to be disabled.

This patch increases the timeouts for some tests that I've seen timing
out on slow systems in my 2.26 release testing. (In the case of

seconds, so putting the default into effect.)

Locking overhead can be significant in some stdio operations
that are common in single threaded applications.
This patch adds the _IO_FLAGS2_NEED_LOCK flag to indicate if
an _IO_FILE object needs to be locked and some of the stdio
functions just jump to their _unlocked variant when not. The
flag is set on all _IO_FILE objects when the first thread is
created. A new GLIBC_PRIVATE libc symbol, _IO_enable_locks,
was added to do this from libpthread.
The optimization can be applied to more stdio functions,
currently it is only applied to single flag check or single
non-wide-char standard operations. The flag should probably
be never set for files with _IO_USER_LOCK, but that's just a
further optimization, not a correctness requirement.
The optimization is valid in a single thread because stdio
operations are non-as-safe (so lock state is not observable
from a signal handler) and stdio locks are recursive (so lock
state is not observable via deadlock). The optimization is not
valid if a thread may be created while an stdio lock is taken
and thus it should be disabled if any user code may run during
an stdio operation (interposed malloc, printf hooks, etc).
This makes the optimization more complicated for some stdio
operations (e.g. printf), but those are bigger and thus less

Current allocate_stack logic for create stacks is to first mmap all
the required memory with the desirable memory and then mprotect the
guard area with PROT_NONE if required. Although it works as expected,
it pessimizes the allocation because it requires the kernel to actually
increase commit charge (it counts against the available physical/swap
memory available for the system).
The only issue is to actually check this change since side-effects are
really Linux specific and to actually account them it would require a
kernel specific tests to parse the system wide information. On the kernel
I checked /proc/self/statm does not show any meaningful difference for
vmm and/or rss before and after thread creation. I could only see
really meaningful information checking on system wide /proc/meminfo
between thread creation: MemFree, MemAvailable, and Committed_AS shows
large difference without the patch. I think trying to use these
kind of information on a testcase is fragile.
The BZ#18988 reports shows that the commit pages are easily seen with
mlockall (MCL_FUTURE) (with lock all pages that become mapped in the
process) however a more straighfoward testcase shows that pthread_create
could be faster using this patch:

On x86_64 (4.4.0-45-generic, gcc 5.4.0) running the small benchtests
I see:
$ time ./test
real 0m3.647s
user 0m0.080s
sys 0m11.836s
While with the patch I see:
$ time ./test
real 0m0.696s
user 0m0.040s
sys 0m1.152s
So I added a pthread_create benchtest (thread_create) which check
the thread creation latency. As for the simple benchtests, I saw
improvements in thread creation on all architectures I tested the
change.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux-gnu,
arm-linux-gnueabihf, powerpc64le-linux-gnu, sparc64-linux-gnu,

This patch optimizes the generic spinlock code.
The type pthread_spinlock_t is a typedef to volatile int on all archs.
Passing a volatile pointer to the atomic macros which are not mapped to the
C11 atomic builtins can lead to extra stores and loads to stack if such
a macro creates a temporary variable by using "__typeof (*(mem)) tmp;".
Thus, those macros which are used by spinlock code - atomic_exchange_acquire,
atomic_load_relaxed, atomic_compare_exchange_weak - have to be adjusted.
According to the comment from Szabolcs Nagy, the type of a cast expression is
unqualified (see http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/dr_423.htm):
__typeof ((__typeof (*(mem)) *(mem)) tmp;
Thus from spinlock perspective the variable tmp is of type int instead of
type volatile int. This patch adjusts those macros in include/atomic.h.
With this construct GCC >= 5 omits the extra stores and loads.
The atomic macros are replaced by the C11 like atomic macros and thus
the code is aligned to it. The pthread_spin_unlock implementation is now
using release memory order instead of sequentially consistent memory order.
The issue with passed volatile int pointers applies to the C11 like atomic
macros as well as the ones used before.
I've added a glibc_likely hint to the first atomic exchange in
pthread_spin_lock in order to return immediately to the caller if the lock is
free. Without the hint, there is an additional jump if the lock is free.
I've added the atomic_spin_nop macro within the loop of plain reads.
The plain reads are also realized by C11 like atomic_load_relaxed macro.
The new define ATOMIC_EXCHANGE_USES_CAS determines if the first try to acquire
the spinlock in pthread_spin_lock or pthread_spin_trylock is an exchange
or a CAS. This is defined in atomic-machine.h for all architectures.
The define SPIN_LOCK_READS_BETWEEN_CMPXCHG is now removed.
There is no technical reason for throwing in a CAS every now and then,
and so far we have no evidence that it can improve performance.
If that would be the case, we have to adjust other spin-waiting loops
elsewhere, too! Using a CAS loop without plain reads is not a good idea
on many targets and wasn't used by one. Thus there is now no option to
do so.
Architectures are now using the generic spinlock automatically if they
do not provide an own implementation. Thus the pthread_spin_lock.c files
in sysdeps folder are deleted.

This patch adds support of preadv2 and pwritev2 which are similar to
preadv/pwritev but with an extra flag argument. As for preadv/pwritev
both interfaces are added a non-standard GNU API.
For default 'posix' implementation trying to emulate the Linux supported
flags is troublesome:
* We can not temporary change the file state of the O_DSYNC and O_SYNC
flags to emulate RWF_{D}SYNC (attempts to change the state of using
fcntl are silently ignored).
* IOCB_HIPRI requires the file opened in O_DIRECT and uses an internal
semantic not provided by any other flag (O_NONBLOCK for instance).
So default sysdeps/posix implementations fails with EOPNOTSUPP for any non
supported flag (which are none currently) calls generic preadv/pwritev.
Basically this implementation supports only preadv2 called as preadv (with
flags sets to 0).
The Linux one uses the preadv2/pwritev2 syscall if defined, otherwise it
call preadv/writev. Instead of using the previous __ASSUME_* to
unconditionally issue the syscall (and avoid building the fallback routine),
it call pread/write if the preadv2/pwritev2 syscalls fails. The idea
is just avoid adding another __ASSUME_* and checking each architecture
on every kernel bump and simplify code conditionals.

These __need macros are only used internally, by nptl/descr.h.
However, including all of resolv.h from descr.h causes build failures
due to resolv.h's dozens of pseudo-struct-field macros, some of which
collide with struct fields in NPTL internal data structures.
Similarly, including all of list.h from descr.h produces an include
cycle, atomic.h -> atomic-machine.h -> tls.h -> descr.h -> list.h ->
atomic.h, and then list.h tries to use atomic.h macros that haven't
been defined yet. So we do need mini-headers for these. In the
list.h case I called it include/list_t.h since it isn't going to be
installed.

This patch consolidates the fsync Linux syscall generation on
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fsync.c. It basically removes it from
architectures auto-generation list.
For arm it also removes the __errno_location call since fsync
is not called with SYSCALL_CANCEL with call arch-specific
INLINE_SYSCALL macro which in turn will call __set_errno macro
(and setting errno directly).
