TS 18661-1 defines functions for manipulating the payloads of NaNs.
This patch implements the getpayload functions for glibc; these
extract the NaN payload (from an argument passed as a pointer, for
which corresponding libm-test support is added) and return it in the
same floating-point type. The return value of these functions is
unspecified for non-NaN arguments; the patch does the simplest thing
to implement, which is that the functions do not check whether the
argument is a NaN and just treat the relevant bits of the
representation as a payload regardless. A conversion from integer to
floating-point is used to produce the required return value, except in
the ldbl-128 case; as 128-bit integers are not supported for all
configurations using ldbl-128, the code constructs the required
floating-point representation of the return value directly instead.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.

TS 18661-1 defines totalorder functions implementing the totalOrder
comparison operation from IEEE 754-2008. This patch implements these
functions for glibc, including the type-generic macro in <tgmath.h>.
(The totalordermag functions will be added in a separate patch.)
The description of the totalOrder operation is complicated. However,
for IEEE interchange binary formats and the preferred quiet NaN
convention, what that complicated description means is that you
interpret the representation as a sign-magnitude integer (with -0
coming before +0) and do a <= comparison on that interpretation. For
finite values and infinities the ordering of the sign-magnitude
integers is just the same as the ordering of floating-point values, so
this extends that to all representations. (Different representations
of the same floating-point value - which includes same quantum in the
decimal case - must still be considered equal by this operation, but
that issue doesn't arise for IEEE interchange binary formats.) So the
complications are:
* When MIPS quiet NaN conventions are in use, the representation of
NaNs needs adjusting before making such an integer comparison. This
patch does this adjustment only when both arguments are NaNs, as
there's no need for it if only one is a NaN, and as long as both are
NaNs you can just flip the relevant bits without any problems from
this turning a NaN into an infinity.
* For the m68k version of ldbl-96, where the high mantissa bit is
"don't care" for infinities and NaNs, representations where it
differs must compare the same. Note: although the testcase for this
compiles, I have not actually tested on m68k.
* For ldbl-128ibm, the low part must be ignored when the high part is
NaN, and low parts of +0 and -0 must be considered the same whatever
the high part.
The new tests in libm-test.inc are the first tests there specifying
particular payloads for input NaNs. Separate tests are also added for
the ldbl-96 and ldbl-128ibm special cases where there are different
representations of the same value that must compare equal (which can't
be covered in libm-test.inc as that only specifies values, not
representations).

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.
TS 18661-1 adds an iseqsig type-generic comparison macro to <math.h>.
This macro is like the == operator except that unordered operands
result in the "invalid" exception and errno being set to EDOM.
This patch implements this macro for glibc. Given the need to set
errno, this is implemented with out-of-line functions __iseqsigf,
__iseqsig and __iseqsigl (of which the last only exists at all if long
double is ABI-distinct from double, so no function aliases or compat
support are needed). The present patch ignores excess precision
issues; I intend to deal with those in a followup patch. (Like
comparison operators, type-generic comparison macros should *not*
convert operands to their semantic types but should preserve excess
range and precision, meaning that for some argument types and values
of FLT_EVAL_METHOD, an underlying function should be called for a
wider type than that of the arguments.)
The underlying functions are implemented with the type-generic
template machinery. Comparing x <= y && x >= y is sufficient in ISO C
to achieve an equality comparison with "invalid" raised for unordered
operands (and the results of those two comparisons can also be used to
tell whether errno needs to be set). However, some architectures have
GCC bugs meaning that unordered comparison instructions are used
instead of ordered ones. Thus, a mechanism is provided for
architectures to use an explicit call to feraiseexcept to raise
exceptions if required. If your architecture has such a bug you
should add a fix-fp-int-compare-invalid.h header for it, with a
comment pointing to the relevant GCC bug report; if such a GCC bug is
fixed, that header's contents should have a __GNUC_PREREQ conditional
added so that the workaround can eventually be removed for that
architecture.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64, arm and powerpc.

This patches fixes multiples issues on open_{w}memstream reported on both
BZ#18241 and BZ#20181:
- failed fseek does not set errno.
- negative offset in fseek fails even when resulting position is
a valid one.
- a flush after write if the current write position is not at the
end of the stream currupt data.
The main fix is on seek operation for memstream (_IO_{w}str_seekoff), where
both _IO_read_ptr and _IO_read_end pointer are updated if a write operation
has occured (similar to default file operations). Also, to calculate the
offset on both read and write pointers, a temporary value is instead of
updating the argument supplied value. Negative offset are valid if resulting
internal pointer is within the range of _IO_{read,write}_base and
_IO_{read,write}_end.
Also POSIX states that a null or wide null shall be appended to the current
buffer iff a write moves the position to a value larger than the current
lenght. Current implementation appends a null or wide null regardless
of this condition. This patch fixes it by removing the 'else' condition
on _IO_{w}mem_sync.
Checked on x86_64.

TS 18661-1 adds an iscanonical classification macro to <math.h>.
The motivation for this is decimal floating-point, where some values
have both canonical and noncanonical encodings. For IEEE binary
interchange formats, all encodings are canonical. For x86/m68k
ldbl-96, and for ldbl-128ibm, there are encodings that do not
represent any valid value of the type; although formally iscanonical
does not need to handle trap representations (and so could just always
return 1), it seems useful, and in line with the description in the TS
of "representations that are extraneous to the floating-point model"
as being non-canonical (as well as "redundant representations of some
or all of its values"), for it to detect those representations and
return 0 for them.
This patch adds iscanonical to glibc. It goes in a header
<bits/iscanonical.h>, included under appropriate conditions in
<math.h>. The default header version just evaluates the argument
(converted to its semantic type, though current GCC will probably
discard that conversion and any exceptions resulting from it) and
returns 1. ldbl-96 and ldbl-128ibm then have versions of the header
that call a function __iscanonicall for long double (the sizeof-based
tests will of course need updating for float128 support, like other
such type-generic macro implementations). The ldbl-96 version of
__iscanonicall has appropriate conditionals to reflect the differences
in the m68k version of that format (where the high mantissa bit may be
either 0 or 1 when the exponent is 0 or 0x7fff). Corresponding tests
for those formats are added as well. Other architectures do not have
any new functions added because just returning 1 is correct for all
their floating-point formats.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 (to test the default macro version) and
powerpc.

TS 18661-1 adds an iszero classification macro to <math.h>. This
patch implements it for glibc. There are no new underlying functions
in libm because the implementation uses fpclassify when sNaN support
is required and a direct comparison otherwise; any optimizations for
this macro should be done through adding __builtin_iszero in GCC and
using it in the header for suitable GCC versions, not through adding
other optimized inline or out-of-line versions to glibc.

The manual already required that NSS implementation functions set
error codes if they return a value that is not NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS,
but this was not very explicit. The errnop parameter was omitted
in a few places, and the function return value was incorrect.
TS 18661-1 adds an issubnormal classification macro to <math.h>. This
patch implements it for glibc. There are no new underlying functions
in libm because the implementation uses fpclassify; any optimizations
for this macro should be done through adding __builtin_subnormal in
GCC and using it in the header for suitable GCC versions, not through
adding other optimized inline or out-of-line versions to glibc.
The intended structure of the NEWS entry for <math.h> features from TS
18661-1 is like:
* New <math.h> features are added from TS 18661-1:2014:
- Nearest integer functions: roundeven, roundevenf, roundevenl.
- Comparison macros: iseqsig.
- Classification macros: iscanonical, issubnormal, iszero.
(that is, following the grouping of interfaces in TS 18661-1:2014,
with any group where any interfaces are new in glibc 2.25 being listed
like that).

TS 18661-1 defines macros for the width of integer types, intended for
use with the fromfp functions to convert from floating-point types to
integer types of any width, in any rounding mode and with control over
whether "inexact" is raised. Such macros are, of course, more
generally useful than just with those functions.
Those macros are added to <limits.h> and <stdint.h>. Having
previously added the <limits.h> macros, this patch adds the <stdint.h>

TS 18661-1 defines macros for the width of integer types, intended for
use with the fromfp functions to convert from floating-point types to
integer types of any width, in any rounding mode and with control over
whether "inexact" is raised. Such macros are, of course, more
generally useful than just with those functions.
Those macros are added to <limits.h> and <stdint.h>. This patch adds
the <limits.h> macros to glibc's header, with the <stdint.h> ones
intended to be added in a separate patch (which would add to the NEWS
entry created by this patch). I've also added these macros to GCC's
headers for GCC 7, but definitions in glibc's <limits.h> are still
useful for older GCC, for non-GNU compilers and for when it's
_GNU_SOURCE rather than __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ that implies
the macros should be defined since the GCC header only considers
__STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ (and for glibc systems, the
definitions in GCC's <stdint.h> will only be used with
-ffreestanding).

TS 18661-1 defines a type femode_t to represent the set of dynamic
floating-point control modes (such as the rounding mode and trap
enablement modes), and functions fegetmode and fesetmode to manipulate
those modes (without affecting other state such as the raised
exception flags) and a corresponding macro FE_DFL_MODE.
This patch series implements those interfaces for glibc. This first
patch adds the architecture-independent pieces, the x86 and x86_64
implementations, and the <bits/fenv.h> and ABI baseline updates for
all architectures so glibc keeps building and passing the ABI tests on
all architectures. Subsequent patches add the fegetmode and fesetmode
implementations for other architectures.
femode_t is generally an integer type - the same type as fenv_t, or as
the single element of fenv_t where fenv_t is a structure containing a
single integer (or the single relevant element, where it has elements
for both status and control registers) - except where architecture
properties or consistency with the fenv_t implementation indicate
otherwise. FE_DFL_MODE follows FE_DFL_ENV in whether it's a magic
pointer value (-1 cast to const femode_t *), a value that can be
distinguished from valid pointers by its high bits but otherwise
contains a representation of the desired register contents, or a
pointer to a constant variable (the powerpc case; __fe_dfl_mode is
added as an exported constant object, an alias to __fe_dfl_env).
Note that where architectures (that share a register between control
and status bits) gain definitions of new floating-point control or
status bits in future, the implementations of fesetmode for those
architectures may need updating (depending on whether the new bits are
control or status bits and what the implementation does with
previously unknown bits), just like existing implementations of
<fenv.h> functions that take care not to touch reserved bits may need
updating when the set of reserved bits changes. (As any new bits are
outside the scope of ISO C, that's just a quality-of-implementation
issue for supporting them, not a conformance issue.)
As with fenv_t, femode_t should properly include any software DFP
rounding mode (and for both fenv_t and femode_t I'd consider that
fragment of DFP support appropriate for inclusion in glibc even in the
absence of the rest of libdfp; hardware DFP rounding modes should
already be included if the definitions of which bits are status /
control bits are correct).
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 (hard float, and soft float to test the
fallback version), arm (hard float) and powerpc (hard float, soft
float and e500). Other architecture versions are untested.

TS 18661-1 defines an fetestexceptflag function to test the exception
state saved in an fexcept_t object by fegetexceptflag.
This patch implements this function for glibc. Almost all
architectures save exception state in such a way that it can be
directly ANDed with exception flag bits, so rather than having lots of
fetestexceptflag implementations that all do the same thing, the math/
implementation is made to use this generic logic (which is also OK in
the fallback case where FE_ALL_EXCEPT is zero). The only architecture
that seems to need anything different is s390.
(fegetexceptflag and fesetexceptflag use abbreviated filenames
fgetexcptflg.c and fsetexcptflg.c. Because we are no longer concerned
by 14-character filename limits, fetestexceptflag uses the obvious
filename fetestexceptflag.c.)
The NEWS entry is intended to be expanded along the lines given in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-08/msg00356.html> when
fegetmode and fesetmode are added.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.

TS 18661-1 defines an fesetexcept function for setting floating-point
exception flags without the side-effect of causing enabled traps to be
taken.
This patch series implements this function for glibc. The present
patch adds the fallback stub implementation, x86 and x86_64
implementations, documentation, tests and ABI baseline updates. The
remaining patches, some of them untested, add implementations for
other architectures. The implementations generally follow those of
the fesetexceptflag function.
As for fesetexceptflag, the approach taken for architectures where
setting flags causes enabled traps to be taken is to set the flags
(and potentially cause traps) rather than refusing to set the flags
and returning an error. Since ISO C and TS 18661 provide no way to
enable traps, this is formally in accordance with the standards.
The NEWS entry should be considered a placeholder, since this patch
series is intended to be followed by further such series adding other
TS 18661-1 features, so that the NEWS entry would end up looking more
like
* New <fenv.h> features from TS 18661-1:2014 are added to libm: the
fesetexcept, fetestexceptflag, fegetmode and fesetmode functions,
the femode_t type and the FE_DFL_MODE macro.
with hopefully more such entries for other features, rather than
having an entry for a single function in the end.
I believe we have consensus for adding TS 18661-1 interfaces as per
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00421.html>.

This patch implements support for the __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__
feature test macro from ISO/IEC 18661-1:2014, following the
__GLIBC_USE approach now used for __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__. For this
macro, the relevant consideration is whether it is defined or
undefined when an affected header is included (not what its value is
if defined, and not whether it's defined or undefined when any other
unaffected system header is included).
Currently this macro only affects the issignaling macro and the nextup
and nextdown functions (so they can be enabled by defining this macro,
not just by defining _GNU_SOURCE as previously). Any further features
from this TS added in future would also be conditioned on this macro.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped
shared libraries are unchanged by the patch).

This patch implements support for the __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ feature
test macro from ISO/IEC TR 24731-2:2010, thereby implementing one
possible approach for supporting ISO C feature test macros.
Recall that, as described in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00486.html>, these
macros work based on the definition when affected headers are
included, so cannot be handled once when the first system header is
included because that might not be one of the headers the particular
macro in question affects.
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00680.html> expresses
views on possible approaches for implementation and
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00039.html> follows
up on that.
This patch arranges things so that the relevant condition is
__GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2), following one of the suggestions given.
Headers using these macros include <bits/libc-header-start.h>, which
in turn includes <features.h>. Headers must define
__GLIBC_INTERNAL_STARTING_HEADER_IMPLEMENTATION before including
<bits/libc-header-start.h>, to discourage inclusion outside glibc as
requested. __USE_GNU conditions on affected functions are changed to
__GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2), while it's added as an additional alternative
on the conditions for functions already enabled for some POSIX
versions.
It would be possible to convert existing __USE_* conditionals to
__GLIBC_USE (with the relevant __GLIBC_USE_* being defined in
<features.h> where __USE_* are presently defined), and so make them
typo-proof (given -Wundef -Werror in glibc builds) because __GLIBC_USE
is used with #if not #ifdef / #if defined.
No attempt is made to enforce the rule about diagnosing different
definitions of __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ when affected headers are
included; such a diagnostic is incompatible with multiple-include
guards on the affected headers, unless compiler extensions are added
to support it.
As previously noted, glibc does not implement all features from TR
24731-2:2010: the functions aswprintf vaswprintf getwdelim getwline
are not in glibc, although they would be appropriate to add if someone
wished to do so. But I think it makes sense to support the feature
test macro if *any* of the controlled features are present in glibc.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped
shared libraries are unchanged by the patch).

TS 18661 adds nextup and nextdown functions alongside nextafter to provide
support for float128 equivalent to it. This patch adds nextupl, nextup,
nextupf, nextdownl, nextdown and nextdownf to libm before float128 support.
The nextup functions return the next representable value in the direction of
positive infinity and the nextdown functions return the next representable
value in the direction of negative infinity. These are currently enabled
as GNU extensions.
__malloc_initialize_hook is interposed by application code, so
the usual approach to define a compatibility symbol does not work.
This commit adds a new mechanism based on #pragma GCC poison in
<stdc-predef.h>.
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Proposals/GroupMerging
== Justification ==
It is common today for users to rely on centrally-managed user stores for
handling their user accounts. However, much software existing today does
not have an innate understanding of such accounts. Instead, they commonly
rely on membership in known groups for managing access-control (for
example the "wheel" group on Fedora and RHEL systems or the "adm" group
on Debian-derived systems). In the present incarnation of nsswitch, the
only way to have such groups managed by a remote user store such as
FreeIPA or Active Directory would be to manually remove the groups from
/etc/group on the clients so that nsswitch would then move past nss_files
and into the SSSD, nss-ldap or other remote user database.
== Solution ==
With this patch, a new action is introduced for nsswitch:
NSS_ACTION_MERGE. To take advantage of it, one will add [SUCCESS=merge]
between two database entries in the nsswitch.conf file. When a group is
located in the first of the two group entries, processing will continue
on to the next one. If the group is also found in the next entry (and the
group name and GID are an exact match), the member list of the second
entry will be added to the group object to be returned.
== Implementation ==
After each DL_LOOKUP_FN() returns, the next action is checked. If the
function returned NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS and the next action is
NSS_ACTION_MERGE, a copy of the result buffer is saved for the next pass
through the loop. If on this next pass through the loop the database
returns another instance of a group matching both the group name and GID,
the member list is added to the previous list and it is returned as a
single object. If the following database does not contain the same group,
then the original is copied back into the destination buffer.
This patch implements merge functionality only for the group database.
For other databases, there is a default implementation that will return
the EINVAL errno if a merge is requested. The merge functionality can be
implemented for other databases at a later time if such is needed. Each
database must provide a unique implementation of the deep-copy and merge
functions.
If [SUCCESS=merge] is present in nsswitch.conf for a glibc version that
does not support it, glibc will process results up until that operation,
at which time it will return results if it has found them or else will
simply return an error. In practical terms, this ends up behaving like
the remainder of the nsswitch.conf line does not exist.
== Iterators ==
This feature does not modify the iterator functionality from its current
behavior. If getgrnam() or getgrgid() is called, glibc will iterate
through all entries in the `group` line in nsswitch.conf and display the
list of members without attempting to merge them. This is consistent with
the behavior of nss_files where if two separate lines are specified for
the same group in /etc/groups, getgrnam()/getgrgid() will display both.
Clients are already expected to handle this gracefully.
== No Premature Optimizations ==
The following is a list of places that might be eligible for
optimization, but were not overengineered for this initial contribution:
* Any situation where a merge may occur will result in one malloc() of
the same size as the input buffer.
* Any situation where a merge does occur will result in a second
malloc() to hold the list of pointers to member name strings.
* The list of members is simply concatenated together and is not tested
for uniqueness (which is identical to the behavior for nss_files,
which will simply return identical values if they both exist on the
line in the file. This could potentially be optimized to reduce space
usage in the buffer, but it is both complex and computationally
expensive to do so.
== Testing ==
I performed testing by running the getent utility against my newly-built
glibc and configuring /etc/nsswitch.conf with the following entry:
group: group: files [SUCCESS=merge] sss
In /etc/group I included the line:
wheel❌10:sgallagh
I then configured my local SSSD using the id_provider=local to respond
with:
wheel:*:10:localuser,localuser2
I then ran `getent group wheel` against the newly-built glibc in
multiple situations and received the expected output as described
above:
* When SSSD was running.
* When SSSD was configured in nsswitch.conf but the daemon was not
running.
* When SSSD was configured in nsswitch.conf but nss_sss.so.2 was not
installed on the system.
* When the order of 'sss' and 'files' was reversed.
* All of the above with the [SUCCESS=merge] removed (to ensure no
regressions).
* All of the above with `getent group 10`.
* All of the above with `getent group` with and without
`enumerate=true` set in SSSD.
* All of the above with and without nscd enabled on the system.
Previously, application code had to set up the d_namlen member if
the target supported it, involving conditional compilation. After
this change, glob will use the length of the string in d_name instead
of d_namlen to determine the file name length. All glibc targets
provide the d_type and d_ino members, and setting them as needed for
gl_readdir is straightforward.
Changing the behavior with regards to d_ino is left to a future
cleanup.
Previously, a thread M invoking fork would acquire locks in this order:
(M1) malloc arena locks (in the registered fork handler)
(M2) libio list lock
A thread F invoking flush (NULL) would acquire locks in this order:
(F1) libio list lock
(F2) individual _IO_FILE locks
A thread G running getdelim would use this order:
(G1) _IO_FILE lock
(G2) malloc arena lock
After executing (M1), (F1), (G1), none of the threads can make progress.
This commit changes the fork lock order to:
(M'1) libio list lock
(M'2) malloc arena locks
It explicitly encodes the lock order in the implementations of fork,
and does not rely on the registration order, thus avoiding the deadlock.
The overloading approach in the W* macros was incompatible with
integer expressions of a type different from int. Applications
using union wait and these macros will have to migrate to the
POSIX-specified int status type.
A large number of the test-ldouble failures seen for ldbl-128ibm are
spurious "underflow" and "inexact" exceptions. These arise from such
exceptions in the underlying arithmetic; unlike other spurious
exceptions from that arithmetic, they do not in general relate to
cases where the returned result is also substantially inaccurate, are
not so readily avoidable by appropriately conditional libgcc patches,
and are widespread enough to be hard to handle through individual
XFAILing of the affected tests.
Thus, this patch documents relaxed accuracy goals for libm functions
for IBM long double and makes libm-test.inc reflect these spurious
exceptions in ldbl-128ibm arithmetic and always allow them in
ldbl-128ibm testing (while still not allowing these exceptions to be
missing where required to be present). Tested for powerpc.
* manual/math.texi (Errors in Math Functions): Document relaxed
accuracy goals for IBM long double.
* math/libm-test.inc (test_exceptions): Always allow spurious
"underflow" and "inexact" exceptions for IBM long double.
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.

Various Linux kernel syscalls have become obsolete over time.
Specifically, the following are obsolete in all kernel versions
supported by glibc, are not present for architectures more recently
added to the kernel, and as such, the wrapper functions for them
should be compat symbols, not in static libc and not available for new
links with shared libc.
* bdflush: in Linux 2.6, does nothing if present.
* create_module get_kernel_syms query_module: Linux 2.4 module
interface, syscalls not present in Linux 2.6.
* uselib: part of the mechanism for loading a.out shared libraries,
irrelevant with ELF.
This patch adds support for syscalls.list to list syscall aliases of
the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED, with SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals being
generated for such aliases. Those five syscalls are then made into
compat symbols (obsoleted in glibc 2.23, so future ports won't have
these symbols at all), with the header <sys/kdaemon.h> declaring
bdflush being removed. When we move to 3.2 as minimum kernel version,
the same can be done for nfsservctl (removed in Linux 3.1) as well.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, as well as checking that the
symbols in question indeed become compat symbols, that they are indeed
omitted from static libc, and that the generated SHLIB_COMPAT
conditionals look right).
[BZ #18472]
* sysdeps/unix/Makefile ($(objpfx)stub-syscalls.c): Handle entries
for the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED and generate SHLIB_COMPAT
conditionals for them.
* sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh (emit_weak_aliases): Likewise.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (sysdep_headers): Remove

compat-only syscall, obsoleted in glibc 2.23.
(create_module): Likewise.
(get_kernel_syms): Likewise.
(query_module): Likewise.
(uselib): Likewise.
* manual/sysinfo.texi (System Parameters): Do not mention bdflush.
* manual/examples/strncat.c: Remove.
This example was misleading, as the code would have undefined
behavior if "hello" was longer than SIZE. Anyway, the manual
shouldn't encourage strncpy+strncat for this sort of thing.
* manual/string.texi (Copying Strings and Arrays): Split into
three sections Copying Strings and Arrays, Concatenating Strings,
and Truncating Strings, as this section was way too long. All
cross-referenced changed. Add advice about string-truncation
functions. Remove misleading strncat example.
NSS modules which can run in disconnected modes should
return NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND and SUCCESS in order to follow
best practice for such modules and ensure user applications
can have these modules configured without causing problems
if the data sources are not connected.
* manual/string.texi (Copying and Concatenation): Fix typos in
sample implementations of strncat and wcsncat, by having them use
the old value of the destination length, not the new one.
* manual/string.texi (String and Array Utilities):
Distinguish more carefully among bytes, multibyte characters,
and wide characters. Use "byte" when talking about C 'char',
to distinguish it more clearly from multibyte characters.
Say "wide character" or "multibyte character" instead of
"character", when a wide or multibyte character is intended.
Similarly for "multibyte string" versus "string".
Define these terms more carefully.
With current kernel versions, the check does not reliably detect that
unavailable CPUs are requested, for these reasons:
(1) The kernel will silently ignore non-allowed CPUs, that is, CPUs
which are physically present but disallowed for the thread
based on system configuration.
(2) Similarly, CPU bits which lack an online CPU (possible CPUs)
are ignored.
(3) The existing probing code assumes that the CPU mask size is a
power of two and at least 1024. Neither has it to be a power
of two, nor is the minimum possible value 1024, so the value
determined is often too large. This means that the CPU set
size check in glibc accepts CPU bits beyond the actual hard
system limit.
(4) Future kernel versions may not even have a fixed CPU set size.
After the removal of the probing code, the kernel still returns
EINVAL if no CPU in the requested set remains which can run the
thread after the affinity change.
Applications which care about the exact affinity mask will have
to query it using sched_getaffinity after setting it. Due to the
effects described above, this commit does not change this.
The new tests supersede tst-getcpu, which is removed. This
addresses bug 19164 because the new tests allocate CPU sets
dynamically.

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).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 4.7 or later.

This automatically-generated patch converts 29 function definitions in
glibc (including one in an example in the manual) from old-style K&R

declaration declares multiple parameters, as in:

The argument order for posix_fallocate64 in the manual
was wrong, it was listed as [fd, len, offset] when it
should have been [fd, offset, len].
Verified io/fcntl.h has the right argument order, and it
does. Verified generated PDF.
In the posix_fallocate description in the manual we list various
drawbacks with the emulation, including the fact that a file opened
with O_APPEND fails with EBADF. Similarly a file opened with O_WRONLY
fails with EBADF. We must be able to emulate a compare-and-swap via
pread/compare/pwrite in order to make the emulation as safe as possible.
It is not acceptable to ignore the read failure because it could result
in significant data loss across all of the blocks. There is no other way
to make this work without a true atomic CAS and SIGBUS handler (which
is looking more attractive as a way to remove the race condition).
This patch adds O_WRONLY to the manual as another bullet to clarify the
limits of the emulation.
Manual looks good in PDF.
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.
Do not try to generate the manual when perl is unavailable. This
matches the behavior when makeinfo is unavailable. Otherwise the
install step fails when trying to generate the libm section since
it runs a perl script.
This patch adds extra inline functions to change the Program Priority
Register from ISA 2.07.

I was told that Ma Shimao submitted a patch to add envz_remove to the
libc manual, but the patch could not be accepted since he does not
have a copyright assignment in place. I have been woefully behind on
libc-alpha recently and have not seen the patch or the discussion
thread. I have also not read the man page for envz_remove, so
Alexandre Oliva asked me if I could write this independently and post
a patch. The patch below is the result of the same - I have written
it based on the implementation in string/envz.c and Alex told me via
email that the function is AS, AC and MT-safe like envz_strip.
I assume Alex and Carlos cannot review this since they have been
tainted by the original patch (I haven't even tried to look for a link
to it since I don't want to be tainted) so someone else will have to
review this. If there are no reviewers till the end of the week, I
will commit this since I believe there is a chance that there are no
other reviewers who haven't read that thread.
* manual/string.texi (Envz Functions): Add envz_remove.
The manual gives "an example showing how to handle failure to open a
file correctly." The example function, open_sesame, uses the
newly-introduced strerror function and errno and
program_invocation_short_name variables. It fails to specify GNU
extensions, however, so attempts to use it in the following way:
int main (void) {open_sesame ("badname");}
fail during compilation with "error: ‘program_invocation_short_name’
undeclared", indicating the example is incomplete. The presence of
"#include"s suggest everything neccesary for the function to work should
be present. For completeness, the example is lacking the following line:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
as the declarations of program_invocation_*name in errno.h are wrapped
in an "#ifdef __USE_GNU" conditional.
The documentation of the variables is also expanded, adding that their
definition lies in errno.h and noting specifically they are GNU
extensions.
This patch refines the math.texi documentation of the goals for when
libm function raise the inexact and underflow exceptions. The
previous text was problematic in some cases around the underflow
threshold.
* Strictly, it would have meant that if the mathematical result of pow
was very slightly below DBL_MIN, for example, it was required to
raise the underflow exception; although normally a few ulps error
would be OK, if that error meant the computed value was slightly
above DBL_MIN it would fail the previously described underflow
exception goal.
* Similarly, strict IEEE semantics would imply that sin (DBL_MIN), in
round-to-nearest mode, underflows on before-rounding but not
after-rounding architectures, while returning DBL_MIN; the previous
wording would have required an underflow exception, so preventing
checks for a result with absolute value below DBL_MIN from being
sufficient checks to determine whether the exception is required.
(Under the previous wording, checks for a result with absolute value
<= DBL_MIN wouldn't have been sufficient either, because in
FE_TOWARDZERO mode a result of DBL_MIN definitely does not result
from an underflowing infinite-precision result.)
* The previous wording about rounding infinite-precision values could
be taken to mean all exceptions including "inexact" must be
consistent with some such value. That would mean that a result of
DBL_MIN in FE_UPWARD mode with "inexact" raised must also have
"underflow" raised on before-rounding architectures. Again, that
would cause problems for computing a result (possibly with spurious
"inexact" exceptions) and then using a rounding-mode-independent
test for results with absolute value below DBL_MIN to determine
whether an underflow exception must be forced in case the underflows
from intermediate computations happened to be exact.
By refining the documentation, this patch avoids stating goals for
accuracy close to the underflow threshold that were stricter than
applied anywhere else, and allows the implementation strategy of:
compute a result within a few ulps, taking care to avoid underflows in
intermediate computations, then force an underflow exception if that
result was subnormal. Only fully-defined functions such as fma need
to take greater care about the exact underflow threshold (including
its dependence on whether the architecture is before-rounding or
after-rounding, and on the rounding mode on after-rounding
architectures).
(If the rounding mode is changed as part of the computation, it's
still necessary to ensure that not just intermediate computations, but
the final computation of the result to be returned, do not raise
underflow if that result is the least normal value and underflow would
be inconsistent with the original rounding mode. Since such code can
readily discard exceptions as part of saving and restoring the
rounding mode - SET_RESTORE_ROUND_NOEX etc. - I don't think that
should be a problem in practice.)
* manual/math.texi (Errors in Math Functions): Clarify goals

As discussed starting at
<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.

As discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-10/msg00792.html>, and
continuing into November, this patch increases the minimum GCC version
for building glibc to 4.6 (there seemed to be no clear consensus for
4.7). In particular, this allows us to use #pragma GCC diagnostic for
fine-grained warning control with -Werror (subject to establishing a
suitable policy for that use). The documentation has a statement, as
requested, about the most recent GCC version tested for building
glibc, and I've updated <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release> to
refer to updating that statement. A NEWS entry is added for this
change, although previous such changes didn't get them.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 4.6 or later.
* configure: Regenerated.
* manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document a

We add Linux-realted comments about the atomicity of
write with respect to file offsets. As of Linux 3.14
the file offset update is atomic. That means that
multiple threads calling the write syscall can not possibly
get the same file offset. Therefore the writes should
not overlap and data should not be lost as is required
by POSIX.
I noticed that install.texi was out of date with regard to the actual
autoconf version requirement for regenerating configure scripts. This
patch updates the documentation.
* manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Update autoconf
version requirements.
* INSTALL: Regenerated.

install-sh from automake and move-if-change from gnulib.
Tested x86_64 that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the
patch; also looked at the generated libc.pdf manual.

Various glibc build / install / test code has C locale settings that
are redundant with LC_ALL=C.
LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, so anywhere that sets LC_ALL=C
(explicitly, or through it being in the default environment for
running tests) does not need to set LANG=C. LC_ALL=C also takes
precedence over LANGUAGE, since
2001-01-02 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
* intl/dcigettext.c (guess_category_value): Rewrite so that LANGUAGE
value is ignored if the selected locale is the C locale.
* intl/tst-gettext.c: Set locale for above change.
* intl/tst-translit.c: Likewise.
and so settings of LANGUAGE=C are also redundant when LC_ALL=C is
set. One test also had LC_ALL=C in its -ENV setting, although it's
part of the default environment used for tests.
This patch removes the redundant settings. It removes a suggestion in
install.texi of setting LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL=C for "make install"; the
Makefile.in target "install" already sets LC_ALL_C so there's no need
for the user to set it (and nor should there be any need for the user
to set it).
If some build machine tool used by "make install" uses a version of
libintl predating that 2001 change, and the user has LANGUAGE set, the
removal of LANGUAGE=C from the Makefile.in "install" rule could in
principle affect the user's installation. However, I don't think we
need to be concerned about pre-2001 build tools.

One wart in the original support for test wrappers for cross testing,
as noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00722.html>, is the
requirement for test wrappers to pass a poorly-defined set of
environment variables from the build system to the system running the
glibc under test. Although some variables are passed explicitly via
$(test-wrapper-env), including LD_* variables that simply can't be
passed implicitly because of the side effects they'd have on the build
system's dynamic linker, others are passed implicitly, including
variables such as GCONV_PATH and LOCPATH that could potentially affect
the build system's libc (so effectively relying on any such effects
not breaking the wrappers). In addition, the code in
cross-test-ssh.sh for preserving environment variables is fragile (it
depends on how bash formats a list of exported variables, and could
well break for multi-line variable definitions where the contents
contain things looking like other variable definitions).
This patch moves to explicitly passing environment variables via
$(test-wrapper-env). Makefile variables that previously used
$(test-wrapper) are split up into -before-env and -after-env parts
that can be passed separately to the various .sh files used in
testing, so those files can then insert environment settings between
the two parts.
The common default environment settings in make-test-out are made into
a separate makefile variable that can also be passed to scripts,
rather than many scripts duplicating those settings (for testing an
installed glibc, it is desirable to have the GCONV_PATH setting on
just one place, so just that one place needs to support it pointing to
an installed sysroot instead of the build tree). The default settings
are included in the variables such as $(test-program-prefix), so that
if tests do not need any non-default settings they can continue to use
single variables rather than the split-up variables.
Although this patch cleans up LC_ALL=C settings (that being part of
the common defaults), various LANG=C and LANGUAGE=C settings remain.
Those are generally unnecessary and I propose a subsequent cleanup to
remove them. LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, and while LANGUAGE
takes precedence over LC_ALL, it only does so for settings other than
LC_ALL=C. So LC_ALL=C on its own is sufficient to ensure the C
locale, and anything that gets LC_ALL=C does not need the other
settings.
While preparing this patch I noticed some tests with .sh files that
appeared to do nothing beyond what the generic makefile support for
tests can do (localedata/tst-wctype.sh - the makefiles support -ENV
variables and .input files - and localedata/tst-mbswcs.sh - just runs
five tests that could be run individually from the makefile). So I
propose another subsequent cleanup to move those to using the generic
support instead of special .sh files.

This patch increases the minimum Linux kernel version for glibc to
2.6.32, as discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00511.html>.
This patch just does the minimal change to arch_minimum_kernel
settings (and LIBC_LINUX_VERSION, which determines the minimum kernel
headers version, as it doesn't make sense for that to be older than
the minimum kernel that can be used at runtime). Followups would be
expected to do, roughly and not necessarily precisely in this order:
* Remove __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION checks in kernel-features.h files
where those checks are always true / always false for kernels 2.6.32
and above.
* Otherwise simplify/improve conditionals in those files (for example,
where defining once in the main file then undefining in
architecture-specific files makes things clearer than having lots of
separate definitions of the same macro), possibly fixing in the
process cases where a macro should optimally have been defined for a
given architecture but wasn't. (In the review in preparation for
this version increase I checked what the right conditions should be
for all macros in the main kernel-features.h whose definitions there
would have been affected by the increase - but I only fixed that
subset of the issues found where --enable-kernel=2.6.32 would have
caused a kernel feature to be wrongly assumed to be present, not any
cases where a feature is not assumed but could be assumed.)
* Remove conditionals on __ASSUME_* where they can now be taken to be
always-true, and the definitions when the macros are only used in
Linux-specific files.
* Split more architectures out of the main kernel-features.h (like
ex-ports architectures), once various of the architecture
conditionals there have been eliminated so the new
architecture-specific files are no larger than actually necessary.
Tested x86_64.

In the glibc manual we have a "Roadmap to the manual" section at
the end of the "Introduction" chapter.
The introductory text says "Here is an overview of the contents
of the remaining chapters of this manual.", but then proceeds to
list chapters out of order and some chapter are never referenced.
This commit reorders the overview to correctly match the manual
order.

Calling setcontext from a signal handler can be done safely so
it is sufficient to note that it is not recommended.
Also mention in setcontext documentation that the behaviour of
setcontext when restoring a context created by a call to a signal
handler is unspecified.
2014-04-17 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/setjmp.texi (System V contexts): Add note that
calling setcontext on a context created by a call to a
signal handler is undefined. Update text to note that
setcontext from a signal handler is possible but not
recommended.
If the user has requested automatic buffer creation, getline may create
it and not free things when an error occurs. That means the user is
always responsible for calling free() regardless of the return value.
The current documentation does not explicitly cover this which leaves it
slightly ambiguous to the reader. So clarify things.

This patch is an updated version of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00198.html> and
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-03/msg00180.html>.
Normal practice for software testsuites is that rather than
terminating immediately when a test fails, they continue running and
report at the end on how many tests passed or failed.
The principle behind the glibc testsuite stopping on failure was
probably that the expected state is no failures and so any failure
indicates a problem such as miscompilation. In practice, while this
is fairly close to true for native testing on x86_64 and x86 (kernel
bugs and race conditions can still cause intermittent failures), it's
less likely to be the case on other platforms, and so people testing
glibc run the testsuite with "make -k" and then examine the logs to
determine whether the failures are what they expect to fail on that
platform, possibly with some automation for the comparison.
This patch switches the glibc testsuite to the normal convention of
not stopping on failure - unless you use stop-on-test-failure=y, in
which case it behaves essentially as it did before (and does not
generate overall test summaries on failure). Instead, the summary
tests.sum may contain tests that FAILed. At the end of the test run,
any FAIL or ERROR lines from tests.sum are printed, and then it exits
with error status if there were any such lines. In addition, build
failures will also cause the test run to stop - this has the
justification that those *do* indicate serious problems that should be
promptly fixed and aren't generally hard to fix (but apart from that,
avoiding the build stopping on those failures seems harder).
Note that unlike the previous patches in this series, this *does*
require people with automation around testing glibc to change their
processes - either to start using tests.sum / xtests.sum to track
failures and compare them with expectations (with or without also
using "make -k" and examining "make" logs to identify build failures),
or else to use stop-on-test-failure=y and ignore the new tests.sum /
xtests.sum mechanism. (If all you check is the exit status from "make
check", no changes are needed unless you want to avoid test runs
continuing after the first failure.)

As recently discussed
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00670.html>, it
doesn't seem particularly useful for libm-test-ulps files to contain
huge amounts of data on ulps for individual tests; just the global
maximum observed ulps for each function, together with the
verification of exceptions, errno and special results such as
infinities and NaNs for each test, suffices to verify that a
function's behavior on the given test inputs is within the expected
accuracy. Removing this data reduces source tree churn caused by
updates to these files when libm tests are added, and reduces the
frequency with which testsuite additions actually need libm-test-ulps
changes at all.
Accordingly, this patch removes that data, so that individual tests
get checked against the global bounds for the given function and only
generate an error if those are exceeded. Tested x86_64 (including
verifying that if an ulps value is artificially reduced, the tests do
indeed fail as they should and "make regen-ulps" generates the
expected changes).

The glibc manual uses special annotations to include functions
in the summary chapter. These annotations were missing from the
functions in the threads chapter. This patch adds those special
markers and in turn adds these functions to the summary chapter.
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html> I
noted it was necessary to add includes of Makeconfig early in various
subdirectory makefiles for the tests-special variable settings added
by that patch to be conditional on configuration information. No-one
commented on the general question there of whether Makeconfig should
always be included immediately after the definition of subdir.
This patch implements that early inclusion of Makeconfig in each
directory (which is a lot easier than consistent placement of includes
of Rules). Includes are added if needed, or moved up if already
present. Subdirectory "all:" targets are removed, since Makeconfig
provides one.
There is potential for further cleanups I haven't done. Rules and
Makerules have code such as
ifneq "$(findstring env,$(origin headers))" ""
headers :=
endif
to override to empty any value of various variables that came from the
environment. I think there is a case for Makeconfig setting all the
subdirectory variables (other than subdir) to empty to ensure no
outside value is going to take effect if a subdirectory fails to
define a variable. (A list of such variables, possibly out of date
and incomplete, is in manual/maint.texi.) Rules and Makerules would
give errors if Makeconfig hadn't already been included, instead of
including it themselves. The special code to override values coming
from the environment would then be obsolete and could be removed.
Tested x86_64, including that installed binaries are identical before
and after the patch.

This patch adds a new "Inter-Process Communication"
chapter to cover the sem*, msg*, and shm* functions.
Initially we document only the sem* function signatures
and their safety notes.
This is a minimal patch to remove _BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE from
the documented user API, making them into aliases for _DEFAULT_SOURCE

that all the consequent cleanups will go in followup patches.

This patch adds a feature test macro _DEFAULT_SOURCE to enable the
default set of header declarations.
The intention is: if _DEFAULT_SOURCE is not used there is no change to
the set of __USE_* macros glibc defines; if it's used on its own, and
without compiler options such as -std=c99 that define __STRICT_ANSI__,
again, there is no change; if it's used together with the macros it
approximately (i.e., apart from __USE_POSIX_IMPLICITLY) implies
(-D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L), again, there
is no change. Otherwise, it causes the relevant features to be
enabled, even if __STRICT_ANSI__, or another feature test macro, would
cause them to be disabled.
This macro deliberately bundles the POSIX.1-2008 (non-X/Open)
functionality with the BSD/SVID/"misc" functionality, rather than
defining a macro that gives just the latter, as many of the header
cleanups resulting from removing _BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE support
are only possible when BSD/SVID/"misc" is always bundled with
POSIX.1-2008.
Tested x86_64.
* include/features.h: Update comment documenting feature test
macros. Mention _DEFAULT_SOURCE in comment.

[BZ 15846] As discussed in the recent thread on my $EXEC_ORIGIN patch
and in BZ 15846, getauxval() presently has no unambiguous way of
reporting an error condition. It currently returns zero on error, but
this may also be a valid result for some auxv entries. As there is no
clear invalid result for all current and future auxv entries, this patch
sets errno (following a suggestion in the BZ entry).
This version of the patch also adds documentation and tests for the
value-not-found conditions in getauxval().

The Secure RPC implementation in glibc uses DES encryption
during authentication of the user. This use of DES means
that anyone using Sun RPC will likely not be compliant
with FIPS 140-2 which forbids the use of DES.
One solution to the compliance issue is to disable AUTH_DES
and AUTH_KERB, both use DES, when in FIPS compliance mode.
This is not a good idea because it disables all of the even
mildly secure methods of authentication allowing only plain
text methods.
Instead we leave AUTH_DES and AUTH_KERB enabled in FIPS
compliance mode and document the compliance issue in the
manual. FIPS allows this, that is to say that if you can't
fix it you must document the non-compliance.
This commit adds documentation to that effect in the
"DES encryption and password handling" section of the
manual.

The pt-chown binary is discussed in the "Running make install" section
without clarification of the needed configure option. Clarify this
and simplfy the discription which is already covered in the "Configuring
and compiling" section.
The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another
user's pseudo-terminal.
Pre-conditions for the attack:
* Attacker with local user account
* Kernel with FUSE support
* "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf
* Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts
Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file
descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and
trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current
user does not own. It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however.
In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts
is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building
and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option
to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own
risk.
