In commit 4b7c74179c the nsswitch.conf
file was harmonized with downstream distributions, but this change
included adding "initgroups: files". We should not add initgroups by
default, we can have it, but it should be commented out to allow it
to inherit the settings for group. The problem is principally that
downstream authconfig won't update initgroups and it will get out of
sync with the setting for group.
This patch provides new __clock_getres64 explicit 64 bit function for
getting the resolution (precision) of specified clock ID. Moreover, a
32 bit version - __clock_getres has been refactored to internally use
__clock_getres64.
The __clock_getres is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting
32 bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary conversion from 64 bit
struct __timespec64 to struct timespec.
The new clock_getres_time64 syscall available from Linux 5.1+ has been used,
when applicable.
On systems which are not supporting clock_getres_time64 (as their
clock_getres supports 64 bit time ABI) the vDSO syscall is attempted.
On the contrary the non-vDSO syscall is used for clock_getres_time64 as
up till now the kernel is not providing such interface.
No additional checks (i.e. if tv_nsec value overflow) are performed on
values returned via clock_getres{_time64} syscall, as it is assumed that
the Linux kernel will either return 0 and provide correct value or error.
The check for tv_sec being out of range on systems still supporting 32 bit
time (__TIMESIZE != 64) without Y2038 time support is also omitted as it is
_very_ unlikely that we would have a timer with resolution which exceeds 32
bit time_t range.
Build tests:
- The code has been tested on x86_64/x86 (native compilation):
make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" && make xcheck PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8"
- The glibc has been build tested (make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8") for
x86 (i386), x86_64-x32, and armv7

Linux kernel, headers and minimal kernel version for glibc build test

- Linux v5.1 (with clock_getres_time64) and glibc build with v5.1 as
minimal kernel version (--enable-kernel="5.1.0")
The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS flag defined.
- Linux v5.1 and default minimal kernel version
The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS not defined, but kernel supports
clock_getres_time64 syscall.
- Linux v4.19 (no clock_getres_time64 support) with default minimal kernel

This kernel doesn't support clock_getres_time64 syscall, so the fallback
to clock_getres is tested.
The above tests were performed with Y2038 redirection applied as well as
without (so the __TIMESIZE != 64 execution path is checked as well).
No regressions were observed.
The valid_nanoseconds () static inline function has been introduced to
check if nanoseconds value is in the correct range - greater or equal to
zero and less than 1000000000.
The explicit #include <time.h> has been added to files where it was

because the Makefile logic assumes that the path on such a line with

only that should be copied. The patch follows the approach suggested

Linux 5.1 adds missing SySV IPC syscalls to the syscall table for
remanining one that still uses the ipc syscall on glibc (m68k, mips-o32,
powerpc, s390, sh, and sparc32). However the newly added direct ipc
syscall are different than the old ones:
1. They do not expect IPC_64, meaning __IPC_64 should be set to zero
when new syscalls are used. And new syscalls can not be used
for compat functions like __old_semctl (to emulated old sysvipc it
requires to use the old __NR_ipc syscall without __IPC_64).
Thus IPC_64 is redefined for newer kernels on affected ABIs.
2. semtimedop and semop does not exist on 32-bit ABIs (only
semtimedop_time64 is supplied). The provided syscall wrappers only
uses the wire-up syscall if __NR_semtimedop and __NR_semop are
also defined.

This patch refactor the internal sysvipc in two main points:
1. Add a new __ASSUME_SYSVIPC_DEFAULT_IPC_64 to infer the __IPC_64
value to be used along either the multiplexed __NR_ipc or wired-up
syscall. The defaut value assumed for __IPC_64 is also changed
from 0x100 to 0x0, aligning with Linux generic UAPI. The idea
is to simplify the Linux 5.1 wire-up for sysvipc syscalls for
some 32-bit ABIs (which expectes __IPC_64 being 0x0) and simplify
new ports (which will no longer need to add ipc_priv.h).
2. It also removes some duplicated internal definition used on compat
sysvipc symbols defined at ipc_priv.h (more specifically the
__old_ipc_perm, SEMCTL_ARG_ADDRESS, MSGRCV_ARGS, and
SEMTIMEDOP_IPC_ARGS). The idea is also to make it simpler to enable
the new wire-up sysvipc syscall provided by Linux v5.1.

This commit replaces the test with elf/tst-dlopen-self for (a) and
elf/tst-dlopen-tlsmodid for (b). The latter tests use the

bits/ptrace-shared.h). As with previous such constants and associated
structures, the glibc version of the structure is named struct
__ptrace_syscall_info.

The warning is confusing to those who do not understand the context,
and the warning is easy to misunderstand:
A reader needs to know that it was written by someone who is generally
skeptical of government influence and control, otherwise it reads as
an affirmation of the U.S. government's role as the ultimate editor of
the manual. This is precisely the opposite of what the warning
intends to convey. (Reportedly, it criticizes that several
U.S. administrations have tried to restrict the medical advice that
U.S.-funded health care workers can provide abroad, considering that
censorship.)
The warning is also misleading on a technical level. A reader who
makes the connection to pregnancy termination will get the wrong
impression that calling the abort function will terminate subprocesses
of the current process, but this is not what generally happens.
Finally, for both GNU and the FSF, it is inappropriate to use female
reproductive health as mere joke material, since these organizations
do not concern themselves with such issues otherwise, and the warning
is purportedly about something else entirely.
This reinstates commit 340d9652b9
("manual/startup.texi (Aborting a Program): Remove inappropriate
joke."), effectively reverting the revert in commit
ffa81c22a3 ("Revert:").

This patch sets the mode field in ipc_perm as mode_t for all architectures,
as POSIX specification [1]. The changes required are as follow:
1. It moves the ipc_perm definition out of ipc.h to its own header
ipc_perm.h. It also allows consolidate the IPC_* definition on
only one header.
2. The generic implementation follow the kernel ipc64_perm size so the
syscall can be made directly without temporary buffer copy. However,
since glibc defines the MODE field as mode_t, it omits the __PAD1 field
(since glibc does not export mode_t as 16-bit for any architecture).
It is a two-fold improvement:
2.1. New implementation which follow Linux UAPI will not need to
provide an arch-specific ipc-perm.h header neither wrongly
use the wrong 16-bit definition from previous default ipc.h
(as csky did).
2.1. It allows consolidate ipc_perm definition for architectures that
already provide mode_t as 32-bit.
3. All kernel ABIs for the supported architectures already provides the
expected padding for mode type extension to 32-bit. However, some
architectures the padding has the wrong placement, so it requires
the ipc control routines (msgctl, semctl, and shmctl) to adjust the
mode field accordingly. Currently they are armeb, microblaze, m68k,
s390, and sheb.
A new assume is added, __ASSUME_SYSVIPC_BROKEN_MODE_T, which the
required ABIs define.
4. For the ABIs that define __ASSUME_SYSVIPC_BROKEN_MODE_T, it also
require compat symbols that do not adjust the mode field.

This patch provides new __clock_settime64 explicit 64 bit function for

refactored to internally use __clock_settime64.
The __clock_settime is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting

The new clock_settime64 syscall available from Linux 5.1+ has been used,

In this patch the internal padding (tv_pad) of struct __timespec64 is

The only change which can not be implemented with posix_spawn the

not sure how effetive this check is since /dev/null tampering means
something very wrong with the system and this is the least of the
issues. My view is the tests is really out of the place and the

If the idea is still to provide such check, I think a possibilty

This patch changes how the fallback getdents64 implementation calls
non-LFS getdents by replacing the scratch_buffer with static buffer
plus a loop on getdents calls. This avoids the potential malloc

at the cost of more getdents syscalls.
It also adds a small optimization for older kernels, where the first
ENOSYS failure for getdents64 disable subsequent calls.

After much deliberation, we have settled on a conventional

decision to ease the porting of low-level runtime software

transparent superpage support in modern operating systems

inexpensive relative to the multi-level cache hierarchies
whose address space they map.
