This patch makes Python 3.4 or later a required tool for building
glibc, so allowing changes of awk, perl etc. code used in the build
and test to Python code without any such changes needing makefile
conditionals or to handle older Python versions.
This patch makes the configure test for Python check the version and
give an error if Python is missing or too old, and removes makefile
conditionals that are no longer needed. It does not itself convert
any code from another language to Python, and does not remove any
compatibility with older Python versions from existing scripts.
Tested for x86_64.

This patch extends gen-libm-test.py to generate the ulps table for the
manual, so meaning there is only a single ulps file parser needed and
another Perl script is eliminated. As with the introduction of
gen-libm-test.py, this is designed to generate exactly the same
libm-err.texi as libm-err-tab.pl did. (gen-libm-test.py is still
shorter in lines than the old gen-libm-test.pl even after this patch.)
Note that this introduces a Python dependency for building the manual,
which is thus noted in install.texi and NEWS.

compatibility library is built.
The install.texi documentation of uses of Perl and Python is
substantially out of date.
The description of Perl is "to test the installation" (which I
interpret as referring to test-installation.pl), but it's used for
more tests than that, and to build the manual, and to regenerate one
file in the source tree.
The description of Python is only for pretty-printer tests, but it's
used for other tests / benchmarks as well (and for other internal uses
such as updating Unicode data, for which we already require Python 3,
but I think install.texi only needs to describe uses from the main
glibc Makefiles).
This patch updates the descriptions of what those tools are used for.
The Python information (and information about other tools for testing
pretty printers) was awkwardly in the middle of the general
description of building and testing glibc, rather than with the rest
of information about tools used in glibc build and test; this patch
moves the information about those tools into the main list.
Tested with regeneration of INSTALL as well as "make info" and "make
pdf".
* manual/install.texi (Configuring and compiling): Do not list
tools used for testing pretty printers here.
(Tools for Compilation): List Python, PExpect and GDB here.
Update descriptions of uses of Perl and Python.
* INSTALL: Regenerate.
The convenience install target 'install-locale-files' is created
to allow distributions to install all of the SUPPORTED locales as
files instead of into the locale-archive.
You invoke the new convenience target like this:
make localedata/install-locale-files DESTDIR=<prefix>
$(file …) appears to be the only convenient way to create files
with newlines and make substitution variables. This needs make 4.0
(released in 2013), so update the requirement to match.

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.
There are some bug reports from people setting CFLAGS not including a
-O option and then being confused when the build fails. This patch
addresses this by documenting the proper use of CC and CFLAGS in more
detail - saying what options should go where and specifying the
requirement to compile with optimization.
The previous text incorrectly used @var markup with CC and CFLAGS.
The correct markup for environment variables is @env, but it's also
the case that passing such variables explicitly on the configure
command line is preferred to passing them in the environment, so this
patch changes the documentation to describe passing them on the
command line (and uses @code).
In many cases putting options in the wrong place may in fact work, but
I believe what I've specified is the correct rule for which options to
put where.

To build static PIE, all .o files are compiled with -fPIE. Since
--enable-static-pie is designed to provide additional security hardening
benefits, it also implies that glibc programs and tests are created as
dynamic position independent executables (PIE) by default for better
security hardening.

* manual/install.texi: Document that --enable-static-pie
implies PIE.
* INSTALL: Regenerated.
Static PIE extends address space layout randomization to static
executables. It provides additional security hardening benefits at
the cost of some memory and performance.
Dynamic linker, ld.so, is a standalone program which can be loaded at
any address. This patch adds a configure option, --enable-static-pie,
to embed the part of ld.so in static executable to create static position
independent executable (static PIE). A static PIE is similar to static
executable, but can be loaded at any address without help from a dynamic
linker. When --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc, libc.a is
built as PIE and all static executables, including tests, are built as
static PIE. The resulting libc.a can be used together with GCC 8 or
above to build static PIE with the compiler option, -static-pie. But
GCC 8 isn't required to build glibc with --enable-static-pie. Only GCC
with PIE support is needed. When an older GCC is used to build glibc
with --enable-static-pie, proper input files are passed to linker to
create static executables as static PIE, together with "-z text" to
prevent dynamic relocations in read-only segments, which are not allowed
in static PIE.
The following changes are made for static PIE:
1. Add a new function, _dl_relocate_static_pie, to:
a. Get the run-time load address.
b. Read the dynamic section.
c. Perform dynamic relocations.
Dynamic linker also performs these steps. But static PIE doesn't load
any shared objects.
2. Call _dl_relocate_static_pie at entrance of LIBC_START_MAIN in
libc.a. crt1.o, which is used to create dynamic and non-PIE static
executables, is updated to include a dummy _dl_relocate_static_pie.
rcrt1.o is added to create static PIE, which will link in the real
_dl_relocate_static_pie. grcrt1.o is also added to create static PIE
with -pg. GCC 8 has been updated to support rcrt1.o and grcrt1.o for
static PIE.
Static PIE can work on all architectures which support PIE, provided:
1. Target must support accessing of local functions without dynamic
relocations, which is needed in start.S to call __libc_start_main with
function addresses of __libc_csu_init, __libc_csu_fini and main. All
functions in static PIE are local functions. If PIE start.S can't reach
main () defined in a shared object, the code sequence:
pass address of local_main to __libc_start_main
...
local_main:
tail call to main via PLT
can be used.
2. start.S is updated to check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path and
avoid dynamic relocation, when PIC is defined and SHARED isn't defined,
to support static PIE.
3. All assembly codes are updated check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code
path to avoid dynamic relocations in read-only sections.
4. All assembly codes are updated check SHARED instead PIC for static
symbol name.
5. elf_machine_load_address in dl-machine.h are updated to support static
PIE.
6. __brk works without TLS nor dynamic relocations in read-only section
so that it can be used by __libc_setup_tls to initializes TLS in static
PIE.
NB: When glibc is built with GCC defaulted to PIE, libc.a is compiled
with -fPIE, regardless if --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc.
When glibc is configured with --enable-static-pie, libc.a is compiled
with -fPIE, regardless whether GCC defaults to PIE or not. The same
libc.a can be used to build both static executable and static PIE.
There is no need for separate PIE copy of libc.a.
On x86-64, the normal static sln:
text data bss dec hex filename
625425 8284 5456 639165 9c0bd elf/sln
the static PIE sln:
text data bss dec hex filename
657626 20636 5392 683654 a6e86 elf/sln
The code size is increased by 5% and the binary size is increased by 7%.
Linker requirements to build glibc with --enable-static-pie:
1. Linker supports --no-dynamic-linker to remove PT_INTERP segment from
static PIE.
2. Linker can create working static PIE. The x86-64 linker needs the
fix for
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21782
The i386 linker needs to be able to convert "movl main@GOT(%ebx), %eax"
to "leal main@GOTOFF(%ebx), %eax" if main is defined locally.
Binutils 2.29 or above are OK for i686 and x86-64. But linker status for
other targets need to be verified.
3. Linker should resolve undefined weak symbols to 0 in static PIE:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22269
4. Many ELF backend linkers incorrectly check bfd_link_pic for TLS
relocations, which should check bfd_link_executable instead:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22263
Tested on aarch64, i686 and x86-64.

There is a configure option --without-fp that specifies that nofpu
sysdeps directories should be used instead of fpu directories.
For most glibc configurations, this option is of no use: either there
is no valid nofpu variant of that configuration, or there are no fpu
or nofpu sysdeps directories for that processor and so the option does
nothing. For a few configurations, if you are using a soft-float
compiler this option is required, and failing to use it generally
results in compilation errors from inline asm using unavailable
floating-point instructions.
We're moving away from --with-cpu to configuring glibc based on how
the compiler generates code, and it is natural to do so for
--without-fp as well; in most cases the soft-float and hard-float ABIs
are incompatible so you have no hope of building a working glibc with
an inappropriately configured compiler or libgcc.
This patch eliminates --without-fp, replacing it entirely by automatic
configuration based on the compiler. Configurations for which this is
relevant (coldfire / mips / powerpc32 / sh) define a variable
with_fp_cond in their preconfigure fragments (under the same
conditions under which those fragments do anything); this is a
preprocessor conditional which the toplevel configure script then uses
in a test to determine which sysdeps directories to use.
The config.make with-fp variable remains. It's used only by powerpc
(sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/Makefile) to add -mhard-float to various
flags variables. For powerpc, -mcpu= options can imply use of
soft-float. That could be an issue if you want to build for
e.g. 476fp, but are using --with-cpu=476 because there isn't a 476fp
sysdeps directory. If in future we eliminate --with-cpu and replace
it entirely by testing the compiler, it would be natural at that point
to eliminate that code as well (as the user should then just use a
compiler defaulting to 476fp and the 476 sysdeps directory would be
used automatically).

shared libraries are unchanged by this patch.

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
selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of
the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].
Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.

There is a subtle non-determinism when building glibc.
This depends on whether the glibc is built using the distibuted
file intl/plural.c or built using the generated file intl/plural.c.
These two files (intl/plural.c generated vs. distributed) are slightly
different, hence we may end up with slightly different libraries.
Originally, having "bison" installed was optional. So if "bison" was
not present, we always built libraries with the distributed plural.c.
If bison was installed, we *** may have *** replaced the distributed
file plural.c with a new plural.c generated from plural.y. if the
timestamps triggered this rule:
plural.c plural.y
$(BISON) $(BISONFLAGS) $@ $^
Given that timestamps are not preserved in GIT repositories, the above
rule is not reliable without explicitly touching plural.c or plural.y.
In other words, the rule may or may not have fired.
In summary: there are two distinct sources of non-determinism:
1. Having "bison" installed or not
2. Having "bison" installed but timestamps poorly defined.
This patch fixes this by requiring "bison" being installed
and by always generating intl/plural.c from intl/plural.y.
(This is achieved by simply removing checked-in intl/plural.c)

glibc has an add-ons mechanism to allow additional software to be
integrated into the glibc build. Such add-ons may be within the glibc
source tree, or outside it at a path passed to the --enable-add-ons
configure option.
localedata and crypt were once add-ons, distributed in separate
release tarballs, but long since stopped using that mechanism.
Linuxthreads was always an add-on. Ports spent some time as an add-on
with separate release tarballs, then was first moved into the glibc
source tree, then had its sysdeps files moved into the main sysdeps
hierarchy so the add-ons mechanism was no longer used. NPTL spent
some time as an add-on in the main glibc tree before stopping using
the add-on mechanism. libidn used to have separate release tarballs
but no longer does so, but still uses the add-ons mechanism within the
glibc source tree. Various other software has supported building with
the add-ons mechanism at times in the past, but I don't think any is
still widely used.
Add-ons involve significant, little-used complexity in the glibc build
system, and make it hard to understand what the space of possible
glibc configurations is. This patch removes the add-ons mechanism.
libidn is now built via the Subdirs mechanism to cause any
configuration using sysdeps/unix/inet to build libidn; HAVE_LIBIDN
(which effectively means shared libraries are available) is now
defined via sysdeps/unix/inet/configure. Various references to
add-ons around the source tree are removed (in the case of maint.texi,
the example list of sysdeps directories is still very out of date).
Externally maintained ports should now put their files in the normal
sysdeps directory structure rather than being arranged as add-ons;
they probably need to change e.g. elf.h anyway, rather than actually
being able to work just as a drop-in subtree. Hurd libpthread should
be arranged similarly to NPTL, so some files might go in a
hurd-pthreads (or similar) top-level directory in glibc, while sysdeps
files should go in the normal sysdeps directory structure (possibly in
hurd or hurd-pthreads subdirectories, just as there are nptl
subdirectories in the sysdeps tree).

This patch implements a requirement of binutils >= 2.25 (up from 2.22)
to build glibc. Tests for 2.24 or later on x86_64 and s390 are
removed. It was already the case, as indicated by buildbot results,
that 2.24 was too old for building tests for 32-bit x86 (produced
internal linker errors linking elf/tst-gnu2-tls1mod.so). I don't know
if any configure tests for binutils features are obsolete given the
increased version requirement.

This patch makes configure require GCC 4.9 or later for building
glibc, and documents that requirement. Requiring GCC 4.9 or later
allows use of _Generic (as in tzcode). It would allow <stdatomic.h>
and _Atomic to be used as well if desired, although we need to avoid
any libatomic dependencies on any platforms. This patch is explicitly
the minimum to implement a new version requirement, with any
consequent cleanups of conditional code (not in installed headers or
files shared with gnulib etc.) to be done separately.

All of the major architectures are adopting tunables as a way to add
tuning to the library, from hwcap_mask for aarch64 to HLE for s390 and
ifunc and cache geometry for x86. Given this adoption and the fact
that we don't want additional tuning knobs to be added outside of
tunables, it makes sense to enable tunables by default using this
trivial patch.
Smoke tested on x86 to ensure that tunables code was built without
specifying it as a configure flag. I have kept it as --enabled and
not changed it to --disable since we want to still keep the option of
different kinds of front-ends for tunables.
* configure.ac(--enable-tunables): Enable by default.

Simplify the Linux accept4 implementation based on the assumption
that it is available in some way. __ASSUME_ACCEPT4_SOCKETCALL was
previously unused, so remove it.
For ia64, the accept4 system call (and socket call) were backported
in kernel version 3.2.18. Reflect this in the installation
instructions.
At the GNU Tools Cauldron 2016, the state of the current tunables
patchset was considered OK with the addition of a way to select the
frontend to be used for the tunables. That is, to avoid being locked
in to one type of frontend initially, it should be possible to build
tunables with a different frontend with something as simple as a
configure switch.
To that effect, this patch enhances the --enable-tunables option to
accept more values than just 'yes' or 'no'. The current frontend (and
default when enable-tunables is 'yes') is called 'valstring', to
select the frontend where a single environment variable is set to a
colon-separated value string. More such frontends can be added in
future.

The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global
variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has
instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables.
Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables
configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a
framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are
read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc
behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the

This adds =all and =strong, with obvious semantics, defaulting to off.
We don't validate the value of the option yet: that's in a later patch.
Nor do we use it for anything at this stage.
We differentiate between 'the compiler understands -fstack-protector'
and 'the user wanted -fstack-protector' so that we can pass
-fno-stack-protector in appropriate places even if the user didn't want
to turn on -fstack-protector for other parts. (This helps us overcome
another existing limitation, that glibc doesn't work with GCCs hacked
to pass in -fstack-protector by default.)
We also arrange to set the STACK_PROTECTOR_LEVEL #define to a value
appropriate for the stack-protection level in use for each file in
particular.
This patch adds pretty printers for the following NPTL types:
- pthread_mutex_t
- pthread_mutexattr_t
- pthread_cond_t
- pthread_condattr_t
- pthread_rwlock_t
- pthread_rwlockattr_t
To load the pretty printers into your gdb session, do the following:
python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/path/to/glibc/build/nptl/pretty-printers')
end
source /path/to/glibc/source/pretty-printers/nptl-printers.py
You can check which printers are registered and enabled by issuing the
'info pretty-printer' gdb command. Printers should trigger automatically when
trying to print a variable of one of the types mentioned above.
The printers are architecture-independent, and were tested on an AMD64 running
Ubuntu 14.04 and an x86 VM running Fedora 24.
In order to work, the printers need to know the values of various flags that
are scattered throughout pthread.h and pthreadP.h as enums and #defines. Since
replicating these constants in the printers file itself would create a
maintenance burden, I wrote a script called gen-py-const.awk that Makerules uses
to extract the constants. This script is pretty much the same as gen-as-const.awk,
except it doesn't cast the constant values to 'long' and is thorougly documented.
The constants need only to be enumerated in a .pysym file, which is then referenced
by a Make variable called gen-py-const-headers.
As for the install directory, I discussed this with Mike Frysinger and Siddhesh
Poyarekar, and we agreed that it can be handled in a separate patch, and shouldn't
block merging of this one.
In addition, I've written a series of test cases for the pretty printers.
Each lock type (mutex, condvar and rwlock) has two test programs, one for itself
and other for its related 'attributes' object. Each test program in turn has a
PExpect-based Python script that drives gdb and compares its output to the
expected printer's. The tests run on the glibc host, which is assumed to have
both gdb and PExpect; if either is absent the tests will fail with code 77
(UNSUPPORTED). For cross-testing you should use cross-test-ssh.sh as test-wrapper.
I've tested the printers on both native builds and a cross build using a Beaglebone
Black running Debian, with the build system's filesystem shared with the board
through NFS.
Finally, I've written a README that explains all this and more.

This patch adds a configure check to test if gcc supports attribute ifunc.
The support can either be enabled in <gcc-src>/gcc/config.gcc for one
architecture in general by setting default_gnu_indirect_function variable to yes
or by configuring gcc with --enable-gnu-indirect-function.
The next patch rewrites libc_ifunc macro to use gcc attribute ifunc instead
of inline assembly to generate the IFUNC symbols due to false debuginfo.
If gcc does not support attribute ifunc, the old approach for generating
ifunc'ed symbols is used. Then the debug-information is false. Thus it is
recommended to use a gcc with indirect function support (See notes in INSTALL).
After this patch-series these inline assemblies for ifunc-handling are not
scattered in multiple files but are used only indirect via ifunc-macros
and can simply removed in libc-symbols.h in future.
If glibc is configured with --enable-multi-arch and gcc does not support
attribute ifunc, a configure warning is dumped!
ChangeLog:
* config.h.in (HAVE_GCC_IFUNC): New undef.
* configure.ac: Add check if gcc supports attribute ifunc feature.
* configure: Regenerated.
* manual/install.texi: Add recommendation for gcc with
indirect-function support.
* INSTALL: Regenerated.
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.

This patch implements a requirement of GCC 4.7 or later to build
glibc.
This was discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-08/msg00851.html>.
Concerns were expressed by Mike and David. At
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00453.html> I have
provided a 14-patch series showing in outline the cleanups facilitated
by this version requirement, as requested by Mike (this patch is the
first in that series, with the addition of a NEWS entry). Given the
absence of further concerns or alternative proposals for criteria for
updates to this version requirement as requested in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00065.html>, I am
interpreting this as "absence of sustained opposition" under Carlos's
definition at <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Consensus> and
proposing this patch for inclusion in glibc. I'd like to remind
people testing with 4.6 that if they move to testing with GCC 5 then
it will probably be about four years before they need to update the
compiler they use to test glibc again.
Although on the principles of time-based updates I think a move to
requiring binutils 2.23 would be reasonable, I'm not currently aware
of any cleanups that would facilitate so am not proposing that at this
time (but would expect to propose a move to requiring binutils 2.24 in
a year's time, as that brings features such as AVX512 support that
should allow some conditionals to be cleaned up). If someone thinks a
move to requiring 2.23 would help clean things up for their
architecture, please speak up. (And in general, I suspect there are
lots of architecture-specific configure tests that could be removed on
the basis of current GCC and binutils version requirements, given how
I've found architecture-independent tests obsolete on the basis of
version requirements going back 20 years.)
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).

Some distros build+install the timezone tools (zic/zdump/tzselect) outside
of glibc and use the upstream package directly. Add a configure flag to
glibc so they can disable install of those tools.
This allows tests to run & pass regardless of the configure flag. Only
the install of them is impacted.
a non-standard directory specified by the prefix make variable
fails with an error. Since this is an unsupported use case,
this change makes make install fail early and with a descriptive
error message when either the prefix or the exec_prefix make
variable is overridden on the command line.

<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-11/msg00323.html>, this
patch makes the glibc build use -Werror by default to avoid
accidentally adding new warnings to the build. The configure option
--disable-werror can be used to disable this.
-Wno-error=undef is temporarily used because the build isn't clean
regarding -Wundef warnings. The idea is that once the remaining
-Wundef warnings have been cleaned up (in at least one configuration),
-Wno-error=undef will be removed.
I get a clean build and test on x86_64 (GCC 4.9 branch) with this
patch. The expectation is that this may well break the build for some
other configurations, and people seeing such breakage should make
appropriate fixes to fix or suppress the warnings for their
configurations. In some cases that may involve using pragmas as the
right fix (I think that will be right for the -Wno-inline issue for
MIPS I referred to in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-11/msg00798.html>, for
example), in some cases -Wno-error in sysdeps makefiles (__restore_rt
in MIPS sigaction, for example), in some cases substantive fixes for
the warnings.
Note that if, with a view to listing all the warnings then fixing them
all, you just look for "warning:" in output from building and testing
with --disable-werror, you'll see lots of warnings from the linker
about functions such as tmpnam. Those warnings can be ignored - only
compiler warnings are relevant to -Werror, not linker warnings.
