This patch removes the --enable-oldest-abi configure option, which has
long been bitrotten (as reported in bug 6652). The principle of
removing this option was agreed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-07/msg00174.html>.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries other
than libc.so are unchanged by this patch and that libc.so disassembly
and symbol versions are unchanged (debug info changes because of
changed line numbers in csu/version.c).
[BZ #6652]
* Makeconfig (soversions-default-setname): Remove variable.
($(common-objpfx)soversions.i): Don't pass default_setname to
soversions.awk.

oldest_abi to abi-versions.awk.
* config.h.in (GLIBC_OLDEST_ABI): Remove macro undefine.
* config.make.in (oldest-abi): Remove variable.
* configure.ac (--enable-oldest-abi): Remove configure option.
* configure: Regenerated.

text.

* sysdeps/mach/hurd/configure.ac: Do not handle oldest_abi
variable.
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/configure: Regenerated.

variable.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure: Regenerated.
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.
New configure option --enable-obsolete-rpc makes the deprecated RPC
headers and functions available at compile time as they were before
version 2.14. This option will be removed at some time in the future
after the TI-RPC library becomes fully sufficient for the needs of
existing applications.

[BZ #10118]
* Makeconfig (+asflags): New variable based upon ASFLAG or
asflags-cpu.
(ASFLAGS): Add override to set ASFLAGS to +asflags.
* config.make.in (asflags-cpu): Add variable based upon
@libc_cv_cc_submachine@ to propagate -mcpu=CPU from --with-cpu=CPU to
the assembler.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/power6/fpu/setcontext.S:
Remove unneeded file now that the assembler emits _ARCH_PWR6 and
recognizes power6 instruction set due to passing -mcpu=power6 from
--with-cpu=power6 when compiling .S files.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/power6/fpu/swapcontext.S:
Likewise.
