This copies the sparc version of sigstack.h, which gives powerpc
#define MINSIGSTKSZ 4096
#define SIGSTKSZ 16384
Before the VSX changes, struct rt_sigframe size was 1920 plus 128 for
__SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE giving ppc64 exactly the default MINSIGSTKSZ of
2048.
After VSX, ucontext increased by 256 bytes. Oops, we're over
MINSIGSTKSZ, so powerpc has been using the wrong value for quite a
while. Add another ucontext for TM and rt_sigframe is now at 3872,
giving actual MINSIGSTKSZ of 4000.
The glibc testcase that I was looking at was tst-cancel21, which
allocates 2*SIGSTKSZ (not because the test is trying to be
conservative, but because the test actually has nested signal stack
frames). We blew the allocation by 48 bytes when using current
mainline gcc to compile glibc (le ppc64).
The required stack depth in _dl_lookup_symbol_x from the top of the
next signal frame was 10944 bytes. I guess you'd want to add 288 to
that, implying an actual SIGSTKSZ of 11232.

Use conditional form of branch and link to avoid destroying the cpu
link stack used to predict blr return addresses.

conditional form of branch and link when obtaining pc.

More LE support, correcting word accesses to _dl_hwcap.

HIWORD/LOWORD.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/swapcontext-common.S: Ditto.
sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh and sysdeps/unix/Makefile use GNU Bash's
${parameter/pattern/string} parameter expansion. Non-Bash shells (e.g.
dash or BusyBox ash when built with CONFIG_ASH_BASH_COMPAT disabled)
don't support this expansion syntax. So glibc will fail to build when
$(SHELL) expands to a path that isn't provided by Bash.
An example build failure:
for dir in [...]; do \
test -f $dir/syscalls.list && \
{ sysdirs='[...]' \
asm_CPP='gcc -c -I[...] -D_LIBC_REENTRANT -include include/libc-symbols.h -DASSEMBLER -g -Wa,--noexecstack -E -x assembler-with-cpp' \
/bin/sh sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh $dir || exit 1; }; \
test $dir = sysdeps/unix && break; \
done > [build-dir]/sysd-syscallsT
sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh: line 273: syntax error: bad substitution
This patch simply replaces the three instances of the Bash-only syntax
in these files with an echo and sed command substitution.

This change synchronizes the glibc headers with the Linux kernel
headers and arranges to coordinate the definition of structures
already defined the Linux kernel UAPI headers.
It is now safe to include glibc's netinet/in.h or Linux's linux/in6.h
in any order in a userspace application and you will get the same
ABI. The ABI is guaranteed by UAPI and glibc.
Since fanotify_init requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to work (which usually
means running as root), we need to handle that error case too.

This patch fixes backtrace for PPC32 and PPC64 to correctly handle
signal trampolines. The 'debug/tst-backtrace6.c' also check for
SA_SIGINFO handling, where is triggers another vDSO symbols for PPC32.
This patch fixes dlfcn/tststatic5 for PowerPC where pagesize
variable was not properly initialized in certain cases. This patch
is based on other architecture code.
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.
The generated header is compiled with `-ffreestanding' to avoid any
circular dependencies against the installed implementation headers.
Such a dependency would require the implementation header to be
installed before the generated header could be built (See bug 15711).
In current practice the generated header dependencies do not include
any of the implementation headers removed by the use of `-ffreestanding'.

[BZ #15711]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile ($(objpfx)bits/syscall%h):
Avoid system header dependency with -ffreestanding.
($(objpfx)bits/syscall%d): Likewise.
This patch introduces two new convenience functions to set the default
thread attributes used for creating threads. This allows a programmer
to set the default thread attributes just once in a process and then
run pthread_create without additional attributes.
__clock_gettime and other __clock_* functions could result in an extra
PLT reference within libc.so if it actually gets used. None of the
code currently uses them, which is why this probably went unnoticed.
PowerPC kernel now provides a vDSO implementation for time syscall
(commit fcb41a2030abe0eb716ef0798035ef9562097f42). This patch changes
time syscall wrapper to use the vDSO when available. It also changes
the default non vDSO time on PowerPC to use sysdeps/posix/time.c
(since gettimeofday is a vDSO call).
* sysdeps/gnu/netinet/tcp.h (TCP_TIMESTAMP): New value, from
Linux 3.9.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/socket.h (PF_VSOCK, AF_VSOCK):
Add.
(PF_MAX): Adjust for VSOCK change.
