This patch removes configure tests for assembler CFI support (and
thereby eliminates an architecture-specific case in the main
configure.ac), instead assuming that support is present
unconditionally.
The main test was added in 2003 around the time CFI support was added
to the assembler. cfi_personality and cfi_lsda support were added to
the assembler in 2006. cfi_sections support was added in 2009, a few
weeks before binutils 2.20 was released; it's in 2.20, the minimum
supported version, so even that configure test is obsolete.
Tested x86_64 that the installed shared libraries are unchanged by
this patch.
* configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_cfi_directives): Remove configure
test.
* configure: Regenerated.
* config.h.in (HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES): Remove macro undefine.
* sysdeps/arm/configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_cfi_directive_sections):
Remove configure test.
* sysdeps/arm/configure: Regenerated.
* sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac: Do not check
libc_cv_asm_cfi_directives.
* sysdeps/nptl/configure: Regenerated.
* sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/configure.ac: Remove file.
* sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/configure: Remove generated file.
* b/sysdeps/generic/sysdep.h [HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES]: Make code
unconditional.
[!HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES]: Remove conditional code.
This patch moves the USE_REGPARMS define from the toplevel
configure.ac to sysdeps/i386/configure.ac.
Tested x86 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is
unchanged by this patch.
* configure.ac (USE_REGPARMS): Don't define here.
* configure: Regenerated.
* sysdeps/i386/configure.ac (USE_REGPARMS): Define here.
* sysdeps/i386/configure: Regenerated.
One piece of architecture-specific code in the main configure.ac is
the powerpc test that can define BROKEN_PPC_ASM_CR0. There's no need
to move this to a sysdeps configure script, or to work out what bug it
was testing in May 1998 to see if it's still relevant, since nothing
in the source tree now uses the results of this test. Thus, this
patch just removes the test in question.
Not tested.
* configure.ac (libc_cv_c_asmcr0_bug): Remove configure test.
* configure: Regenerated.
* config.h.in (BROKEN_PPC_ASM_CR0): Remove macro.
This patch makes non-ex-ports architectures set base_machine and
machine based on the original configured machine value in preconfigure
fragments, like ex-ports architectures, rather than in the toplevel
configure.ac.
Tested x86 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is
unchanged by the patch.
* configure.ac (base_machine): Do not set specially for particular
machines here.
* configure: Regenerated.
* sysdeps/powerpc/preconfigure: Move machine and base_machine
settings from configure.ac.
* sysdeps/i386/preconfigure: New file.
* sysdeps/s390/preconfigure: Likewise.
* sysdeps/sh/preconfigure: Likewise.
* sysdeps/sparc/preconfigure: Likewise.
Added support for TX lock elision of pthread mutexes on s390 and
s390x. This may improve lock scaling of existing programs on TX
capable systems. The lock elision code is only built with
--enable-lock-elision=yes and then requires a GCC version supporting
the TX builtins. With lock elision default mutexes are elided via
__builtin_tbegin, if the cpu supports transactions. By default lock
elision is not enabled and the elision code is not built.
The SELinux team has indicated to me that glibc's SELinux checks
in nscd are not being carried out as they would expect the API
to be used today. They would like to move away from static header
defines for class and permissions and instead use dynamic checks
at runtime that provide an answer which is dependent on the runtime
status of SELinux i.e. more dynamic.
The following patch is a minimal change that moves us forward in
this direction.
It does the following:
* Stop checking for SELinux headers that define NSCD__SHMEMHOST.
Check only for the presence or absence of the library.
* Don't encode the specific SELinux permission constants into a
table at build time, and instead use the symbolic name for the
permission as expected.
* Lookup the "What do we do if we don't know this permission?"
policy and use that if we find SELinux's policy is older than
the glibc policy e.g. we make a request for a permission that
SELinux doesn't know about.
* Lastly, translate the class and permission and then make
the permission check. This is done every time we lookup
a permission, and this is the expected way to use the API.
SELinux will optimize this for us, and we expect the network
latencies to hide these extra library calls.
Tested on x86, x86-64, and via Fedora Rawhide since November 2013.

This patch makes the configure adds -D_CALL_ELF=1 when compiler does
not define _CALL_ELF (versions before powerpc64le support). It cleans
up compiler warnings on old compiler where _CALL_ELF is not defined
on powerpc64(be) builds.
It does by add a new config.make variable for configure-deduced
CPPFLAGS and accumulate into that (confix-extra-cppflags). It also
generalizes libc_extra_cflags so it accumulates in sysdeps configure
fragmenets.
Autoconf is tested for and run if needed only when --enable-maintainer-mode
is used on configure. This results in the autom4te.cache directory only
being written in the source directory during configure if automatic
autoconf usage is requested.
Fixes BZ #14120.
Autoconf has been deprecating configure.in for quite a long time.
Rename all our configure.in and preconfigure.in files to .ac.
