There is some more shardware/software out there which has problems
if two DNS requests are sent using the same tuple
(source addr, source port, dest addr, dest port)
This can range from firewalls to load balancers. Some of the vendors
already fixed it in response to this problem. Still, we need a way
to make glibc work with broken environments. The single-request-reopen
flag can be used or we fall back automatically to this mode.
The check for the inclusion of a group in the result gave up too early
in case of broken-up NIS groups. We now fall back automatically to
the slow mode of using getgrent_r. As an optimization, if there is
not blacklist we need not perform the check in the first place and
therefore can just accept the results of the initgroups_dyn callback.
The terminal output etc is not visible in a core file. The new
libc-internal variable __abort_msg will point to a string with the
message which has been printed before the abort in case abort is
called from inside libc. BZ #10217
The dl-lookup.c changes are needed for prelink (support in prelink
checked into SVN, tested for both i?86 and x86-64), dl-irel.h just
something I discovered by code inspection.
The kernel from 2.3.31 on supports the rt_tgsigqueueinfo syscall.
Use it to implement the non-standard extension which, like
sigqueue, can pass additional data to the receiving thread.
Old binutils don't provide IFUNC and don't generate the section start/end
symbols we expect. At least for now only add the initializer code for
static IFUNC relocations if multi-arch support is requested.
The test to call the indirect function now includes a subtest to
checked whether the symbol is defined. When coming to that point
this is almost always the case. The test for STT_GNU_IFUNC on the
other hand rarely is true. Move it to the front means we don't have
to perform the second test unless really necessary.
SO far Intel and AMD use exactly the same bits meaning the same
things in CPUID index 1. Simplify the code. Should an architecture
come along which doesn't use the same semantics then it must use a
different index value than COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_1.
The latest stratcliff extension exposed a bug in the IA-64 memchr which
uses non-speculative loads to prefetch data. Change the code to use
speculative loads with appropriate fixup. Fixes BZ 10162.
There are two issues with the forced loop exit in the nscd lookup:
1. the estimate of the entry size isn't pessimistic enough for all
databases, resulting potentially is too early exits
2. the combination of 64-bit process and 32-bit nscd would lead to
rejecting valid records in the database.
The nscd database mapped in processes can change at any time. We
have to be more vigilant when it comes to using that memory. Test
the data entries are valid in their entire size, don't read data
again from memory once we verified it, and make sure the trailing
pointer is not going off the deep end.
If longjmp restores the stack frame to an address which is beyond
the stack frame at the time of the longjmp call it would install
an uninitialized stack frame. If compiled with _FORTIFY_SOURCE
defined, longjmp will now bail out in this situation.
Add a text program, built to run on the host, to check all newly
built DSOs for executable stacks and fail if the stack information
is missing or indicates executable stacks.

* resolv/res_query.c (__libc_res_nquery): If one query returns NOTIMP
or FORMERR and the other NOERROR, don't raise an error.

[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.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/power6/fpu/setcontext.S:
Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/power6/fpu/swapcontext.S:
Likewise.
to MAP_ANON in PROT_NONE mmap64 call.
(open_archive): Likewise.
(file_data_available_p): Use mmap64 instead of mremap.
(enlarge_archive): Likewise. Update head if ah->addr changed.
Attempt to reserve address space after mmap64 region.
