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.

When multi-lib GCC is used to build glibc, the search order of GCC driver
for crt*.o is -B*/`gcc -print-multi-directory`, the installed diretory,
-B*/. This patch adds multi-lib support to csu/Makefile so that
-B/glibc-build-directory/csu/ will pick up the newly built crt*.o.

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the example list of sysdeps directories is still very out of date).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).

The startup code in csu/, and the brk and sbrk functions are
needed very early in initialization of a statically-linked program,
before the stack guard is initialized; TLS initialization also uses
memcpy, which cannot overrun its own stack. Mark all of these as
-fno-stack-protector.
We also finally introduce @libc_cv_ssp@ and @no_stack_protector@, both
substituted by the configury changes made earlier, to detect the case
when -fno-stack-protector is supported by the compiler, and
unconditionally pass it in when this is the case, whether or not
--enable-stack-protector is passed to configure. (This means that
it'll even work when the compiler's been hacked to pass
-fstack-protector by default, unless the hackage is so broken that
it does so in a way that is impossible to override.)
Add a configure check that looks for python3 and python in that order

Some configurations may use NSS cryptographic routines but have no
static library for those routines. The following changes allow glibc to
be built and tested with --enable-nss-crypt, but without having a static
NSS library. At a high level the change does two things:
(1) Detect at configure time if static NSS crypto libraries are
available. Assumes libfreebl3.a (instead of the existing Fedora
libfreebl.a which is incomplete) which matches libfreebl3.so.
(2) If static NSS crypto libraries are _not_ available then adjust the
way in which we build tst-linkall-static. This includes excluding a
reference to crypt and not linking against libcrypt.a, all of which
will fail otherwise.
Testing assumptions:
* Static library is named libfreebl3.a (not libfreebl.a as is currently
provided in Fedora), matching libfreebl3.so shared link name.
Tested on x86_64 on Fedora with:
(a) --enable-nss-crypt, with no static NSS library support: PASS
(previous FAIL)
(b) --enable-nss-crypt, with faked static NSS library support: PASS
(unsupported)
* Requires changing elf/Makefile to include a stub
/lib64/libfreebl3.a for testing purposes.
(c) --disable-nss-crypt: PASS
(default)
No regressions on x86_64.

In 1999 the project split "localedir" into "localedir" (path to compiled
locale archives) and "msgcatdir" (path to message catalogs). This
predates the 2002 change in the GNU Coding Standard to document the use
of "localedir" for the path to the message catalogs. It appears that
newlib, gcc, and several other projects also used "msgcatdir" at one
point or another in the past, and so it is in line with historical
precedent that glibc would also use "msgcatdir." However, given that the
GNU Coding Standard uses "localedir", we will switch to that for
consistency as a GNU project. Previous uses of --localdir didn't work
anyway (see bug 14259).
I am committing this patch in the understanding that nobody would object
to fixing #14259 as part of aligning our variable usage to the GNU
Coding Standard.
Given that previous "localedir" uses were converted to "complocaledir"
by [1], we can now convert "msgcatdir" to "localedir" and complete the
transition. With an addition to config.make.in we also fix bug 14259 and
allow users to specify the locale dependent data directory with
"--localedir" at configure time. There is still no way to control at
configure time the location of the *compiled* locale directory.
Tested on x86_64 with no regressions.
Tested using "--localedir" to specify alternate locale dependent data
directory and verified with "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/glibc".
[1] 90fe682d30
In preparation to fix the --localedir configure argument we must
move the existing conflicting definition of localedir to a more
appropriate name. Given that all current internal uses of localedir
relate to the compiled locales we rename to complocaledir.
sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac tests for forced unwind support and the C
cleanup attribute, giving errors if either is unsupported. It does
nothing beyond running those two tests.

unwind test, were added in GCC 3.3. Thus these tests are long
obsolete, and this patch removes the configure fragment running them,
along with associated conditionals.

There is a configure test for the presence of glibc 2.0 headers (that
were renamed / no longer installed in glibc 2.1) and associated
support for removing them on "make install".
Normal practice for subsequent removal / renaming of installed files
has been not to do anything special about removing them; if you want
installed files from an old installation removed reliably, you need to
use a packaging system that tracks what files were installed by a
previous glibc package (via installing in an intermediate directory
with install_root). I think it's been long enough since 2.0 that it's
not particularly useful to have that special logic for those old
headers either; this patch removes it.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).

With gcc-4.9, a new -fstack-protector-strong flag is available that is
between -fstack-protector (pretty weak) and -fstack-protector-all (pretty
strong) that provides good trade-offs between overhead but still providing
good coverage. Update the places in glibc that use ssp to use this flag
when it's available.
This also kills off the indirection of hardcoding the flag name in the
Makefiles and adding it based on a have-ssp boolean. Instead, the build
always expands the $(stack-protector) variable to the best ssp setting.
This makes the build logic a bit simpler and allows people to easily set
to a diff flag like:
make stack-protector=-fstack-protector-all

Some distros build+install the timezone tools (zic/zdump/tzselect) outside

the install of them is impacted.

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.

This patch removes the --enable-oldest-abi configure option, which has

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.
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.
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.
