Since x86 has an optimized mempcpy and GCC can inline mempcpy on x86,
define _HAVE_STRING_ARCH_mempcpy to 1 for x86.
[BZ #19759]
* sysdeps/x86/bits/string.h (_HAVE_STRING_ARCH_mempcpy): New.
The operand modifier %s on powerpc is an undocumented internal implementation
detail of GCC. Besides that, the GCC community wants to remove it. This patch
rewrites the expressions that use this modifier with logically equivalent
expressions that don't require it.
Explanation for the substitution:
The %s modifier takes an immediate operand and prints 32 less such immediate.
Thus, in the previous code, the expression resulted in:
32 - __builtin_ffs(e)
where e was guaranteed to have exactly a single bit set, by the following
expressions:
(e & (e-1) == 0) : e has at most one bit set.
(e != 0) : e is not zero, thus it has at least one bit set.
Since we guarantee that there is exactly only one bit set, the following
statement is true:
32 - __builtin_ffs(e) == __builtin_clz(e)
Thus, we can replace __builtin_ffs with __builtin_clz and remove the %s operand
modifier.
HWCAP-related code should had been updated when the 32 bits of HWCAP were
used. This patch updates the code in dl-procinfo.h to loop through all
the 32 bits in HWCAP and updates _dl_powerpc_cap_flags accordingly.
benchtests should use $(test-via-rtld-prefix) and $(+link-tests) like
other glibc tests.

This patch fixes the posix/tst-execvpe5 invocation when GLIBC is
configured with --enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests which fails with:
$ cat posix/tst-execvpe5.out
Wrong number of arguments (4)
Checked on x86-64 and powerpc64le.
* posix/tst-execvpe5.c (do_test): Fix fix test invocation when
configured with --enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests.
The ldbl-128ibm implementation of remainderl has logic resulting in
incorrect tests for equality of the absolute values of the arguments
in the case of zero low parts. If the low parts are both zero but
with different signs, this can wrongly cause equal arguments to be
treated as different, resulting in turn in incorrect signs of zero
result in nondefault rounding modes arising from the subtractions done
when the arguments are not equal.
This patch fixes the logic to convert -0 low parts into +0 before the
comparison (remquo already has separate logic to deal with signs of
zero results, so doesn't need such a change). Tests are added for
remainderl and remquol similar to that for fmodl, and based on a
refactoring of it, since the bug depends on low parts which should not
be relied upon in tests not setting the representation explicitly
(although in fact the bug shows up in test-ldouble with current GCC).
Tested for powerpc.

When using sln on some filesystems which return 64-bit inodes,
the stat call might fail during install like so:

/lib32/ld-linux.so.2: invalid destination: Value too large for defined data type

Switch to using stat64 all the time to avoid this.

With older kernels, it is mostly ineffective because it causes malloc
to switch from sbrk to mmap (potentially invalidating malloc testing
compared to what real appliations do). With newer kernels which
have switched to enforcing RLIMIT_DATA for mmap as well, some test
cases will fail in an unintended fashion because the limit which was
set previously does not include room for all mmap mappings.
This patch implements a new posix_spawn{p} implementation for Linux. The main
difference is it uses the clone syscall directly with CLONE_VM and CLONE_VFORK
flags and a direct allocated stack. The new stack and start function solves
most the vfork limitation (possible parent clobber due stack spilling). The
remaning issue are related to signal handling:
1. That no signal handlers must run in child context, to avoid corrupt
parent's state.
2. Child must synchronize with parent to enforce stack deallocation and
to possible return execv issues.
The first one is solved by blocking all signals in child, even NPTL-internal
ones (SIGCANCEL and SIGSETXID). The second issue is done by a stack allocation
in parent and a synchronization with using a pipe or waitpid (in case or error).
The pipe has the advantage of allowing the child signal an exec error (checked
with new tst-spawn2 test).
There is an inherent race condition in pipe2 usage for architectures that do not
support the syscall directly. In such cases the a pipe plus fctnl is used
instead and it may lead to file descriptor leak in parent (as decribed by fcntl
documentation).
The child process stack is allocate with a mmap with MAP_STACK flag using
default architecture stack size. Although it is slower than use a stack buffer
from parent, it allows some slack for the compatibility code to run scripts
with no shebang (which may use a buffer with size depending of argument list
count).
Performance should be similar to the vfork default posix implementation and
way faster than fork path (vfork on mostly linux ports are basically
clone with CLONE_VM plus CLONE_VFORK). The only difference is the syscalls
required for the stack allocation/deallocation.
It fixes BZ#10354, BZ#14750, and BZ#18433.
Tested on i386, x86_64, powerpc64le, and aarch64.

This patch removes all the dynamic allocation on execvpe code and
instead use direct stack allocation. This is QoI approach to make
it possible use in scenarios where memory is shared with parent
(vfork or clone with CLONE_VM).
For default process spawn (script file without a shebang), stack
allocation is bounded by NAME_MAX plus PATH_MAX plus 1. Large
file arguments returns an error (ENAMETOOLONG). This differs than
current GLIBC pratice in general, but it used to limit stack
allocation for large inputs. Also, path in PATH environment variable
larger than PATH_MAX are ignored.
The shell direct execution exeception, where execve returns ENOEXEC,
might requires a large stack allocation due large input argument list.

GLIBC execl{e,p} implementation might use malloc if the total number of
arguments exceed initial assumption size (1024). This might lead to
issues in two situations:
1. execl/execle is stated to be async-signal-safe by POSIX [1]. However
if execl is used in a signal handler with a large argument set (that
may call malloc internally) and if the resulting call fails it might
lead malloc in the program in a bad state.
2. If the functions are used in a vfork/clone(VFORK) situation it also
might issue malloc internal bad state.
This patch fixes it by using stack allocation instead. It also fixes
BZ#19534.

In 1999 the project split "localedir" into "localedir" (path to compiled
locale archives) and "msgcatdir" (path to message catalogs). This
predates the 2002 change in the GNU Coding Standard to document the use
of "localedir" for the path to the message catalogs. It appears that
newlib, gcc, and several other projects also used "msgcatdir" at one
point or another in the past, and so it is in line with historical
precedent that glibc would also use "msgcatdir." However, given that the
GNU Coding Standard uses "localedir", we will switch to that for
consistency as a GNU project. Previous uses of --localdir didn't work
anyway (see bug 14259).
I am committing this patch in the understanding that nobody would object
to fixing #14259 as part of aligning our variable usage to the GNU
Coding Standard.
Given that previous "localedir" uses were converted to "complocaledir"
by [1], we can now convert "msgcatdir" to "localedir" and complete the
transition. With an addition to config.make.in we also fix bug 14259 and
allow users to specify the locale dependent data directory with
"--localedir" at configure time. There is still no way to control at
configure time the location of the *compiled* locale directory.
Tested on x86_64 with no regressions.
Tested using "--localedir" to specify alternate locale dependent data
directory and verified with "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/glibc".

In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00885.html> I
proposed a minimum Linux kernel version of 3.2 for glibc 2.24, since
Linux 2.6.32 has reached EOL.
In the discussion in February, some concerns were expressed about
compatibility with OpenVZ containers. It's not clear that these are
real issues, given OpenVZ backporting kernel features and faking the
kernel version for guest software, as discussed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00278.html>. It's
also not clear that supporting running GNU/Linux distributions from
late 2016 (at the earliest) on a kernel series from 2009 is a sensible
expectation. However, as an interim step, this patch increases the
requirement everywhere except x86 / x86_64 (since the controversy was
only about those architectures); the special caveats and settings can
easily be removed later when we're ready to increase the requirements
on x86 / x86_64 (and if someone would like to raise the issue on LWN
as suggested in the previous discussion, that would be welcome). 3.2
kernel headers are required everywhere by this patch.
(x32 already requires 3.4 or later, so is unaffected by this patch.)
As usual for such a change, this patch only changes the configure
scripts and associated documentation. The intent is to follow up with
removal of dead __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION conditionals. Each __ASSUME_*
or other macro that becomes dead can then be removed independently.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.

HAVE_BUILTIN_EXPECT macro was removed by commit glibc-2.14-280-g3ce1f29,
but then its use was unintentionally reintroduced during merge with GNU
gettext 0.19.3 by commit glibc-2.20-324-g6d24885, effectively disabling
all optimization based on __builtin_expect. As intl files are also part
of GNU gettext, HAVE_BUILTIN_EXPECT macro cannot be removed, so define
it unconditionally in config.h.in instead.

__tls_get_addr may be called with 8-byte stack alignment. Although
this bug has been fixed in GCC 4.9.4, 5.3 and 6, we can't assume
that stack will be always aligned at 16 bytes. Since SSE optimized
memory/string functions with aligned SSE register load and store are
used in the dynamic linker, we must set DL_RUNTIME_UNALIGNED_VEC_SIZE
to 8 so that _dl_runtime_resolve_sse will align the stack before
calling _dl_fixup:
