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).

When regenerating ulps incrementally with "make regen-ulps", the
resulting diffs should only increase existing ulps, never decrease
them. This allows successive uses of "make regen-ulps" on different
hardware or with different compiler configurations to accumulate ulps
that are sufficient for tests to pass in a variety of configurations.
However, sometimes changes that decrease ulps are wrongly generated;
thus, when applying
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00605.html> I had to
remove such changes manually. The problem is
print_complex_max_error. If the ulps for either the real or the
imaginary part of a function are out of range, this function prints
the maximum ulps seen for both parts, which then replace those
previously in libm-test-ulps. So if the ulps for one part are bigger
than recorded before, but those for the other part are smaller, the
diffs reduce existing ulps.
This patch fixes the logic so that only increased ulps get printed.
Tested x86_64 ("make math/tests", and "make regen-ulps" in a situation
with ulps manually modified so one part would go up and the other
down, to confirm the changes have the intended effect then).
* math/libm-test.inc (print_complex_max_error): Check separately
whether real and imaginary errors are within allowed range and
pass 0 to print_complex_function_ulps instead of value within
allowed range.
The cached offset is reliable to use in ftell when the stream handle
is active. We can consider a stream as being active when there is
unflushed data. However, even in this case, we can use the cached
offset only when the stream is not being written to in a+ mode,
because this case may have unflushed data and a stale offset; the
previous read could have sent it off somewhere other than the end of
the file.
There were a couple of adjustments necessary to get this to work.
Firstly, fdopen now ceases to use _IO_attach_fd because it sets the
offset cache to the current file position. This is not correct
because there could be changes to the file descriptor before the
stream handle is activated, which would not get reflected.
A similar offset caching action is done in _IO_fwide, claiming that
wide streams have 'problems' with the file offsets. There don't seem
to be any obvious problems with not having the offset cache available,
other than that it will have to be queried in a subsequent
read/write/seek. I have removed this as well.
The testsuite passes successfully with these changes on x86_64.
ftell semantics are distinct from fseek(SEEK_CUR) especially when it
is called on a file handler that is not yet active. Due to this
caveat, much care needs to be taken while modifying the handler data
and hence, this first iteration on separating out ftell focusses on
maintaining handler data integrity at all times while it figures out
the current stream offset. The result is that it makes a syscall for
every offset request.
There is scope for optimizing this by caching offsets when we know
that the handler is active. A simple way to find out is when the
buffers have data. It is not so simple to find this out when the
buffer is empty without adding some kind of flag.
Currently, the nscd parent process parses commandline options and
configuration, forks on startup and immediately exits with a success.
If the child process encounters some error after this, it goes
undetected and any services started up after it may have to repeatedly
check to make sure that the nscd service did actually start up and is
serving requests.
To make this process more reliable, I have added a pipe between the
parent and child process, through which the child process sends a
notification to the parent informing it of its status. The parent
waits for this status and once it receives it, exits with the
corresponding exit code. So if the child service sends a success
status (0), the parent exits with a success status. Similarly for
error conditions, the child sends the non-zero status code, which the
parent passes on as the exit code.
This, along with setting the nscd service type to forking in its
systemd configuration file, allows systemd to be certain that the nscd
service is ready and is accepting connections.
Objections were raised surrounding the calloc simplification
and it is better to revert the patch, continue discussions
and then submit a new patch for inclusion with all issues
fully addressed.
This patch optimizes strrchr() for ppc64. It uses aligned memory
access along with cmpb instruction and CPU prefetch to avoid
cache misses for speed improvement.
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.
While it may be argued that nested functions make the resulting
code easier to read, or worse to read the following two bugs
make it difficult to debug:
Bug 8300 - no local symbol information within nested or nesting
procedures
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8300
Bug 53927 - wrong value for DW_AT_static_link
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53927
Until these are fixed I've made check_match a full function.
After they are fixed we can resume arguing about the merits
of nested functions on readability and maintenance.

Current ARM soft-float implementation is violating the RTABI
(http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0043d/IHI0043D_rtabi.pdf)
Section 4.1.1.1:
When not otherwise specified by IEEE 754, the result on an invalid
operation should be the quiet NaN bit pattern with only the most
significant bit of the significand set, and all other significand bits
zero.
This patch fixes it by setting _FP_NANFRAC_* to zero.
Ran make check test with -mfloat-abi=soft. No regression.
* sysdeps/arm/soft-fp/sfp-machine.h (_FP_NANFRAC_S, _FP_NANFRAC_D)
(_FP_NANFRAC_Q): Set to zero.
In 84ba214c, I removed some redundant sign computations and in the
process, I incorrectly got rid of a temporary variable, thus passing
the absolute value of the input to bsloww1. This caused #16623.
This fix undoes the incorrect change.
This patch, an updated version of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00195.html>, makes it
possible for .test-result files for individual tests to contain XPASS
and XFAIL rather than PASS and FAIL in cases where failure is
expected. This replaces the marking of two individual tests with "-"
to cause them to be expected at makefile level to fail;
evaluate-test.sh will ensure it exits with status 0 for an expected
failure.
Tested x86_64.
* scripts/evaluate-test.sh: Take new argument indicating whether
failure is expected.
* Makeconfig (evaluate-test): Pass argument to evaluate-test.sh
indicating whether failure is expected.
* conform/Makefile (test-xfail-run-conformtest): New variable.
($(objpfx)run-conformtest.out): Don't expect to fail at makefile
level.
* posix/Makefile (test-xfail-annexc): New variable.
($(objpfx)annexc.out): Don't expect to fail at makefile level.
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 is a patch to the MIPS math_private.h file to define HAVE_RM_CTX and
implement the ctx macros. I also defined a few other macros and inline
functions that I skipped the first time.
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.
To make future improvements of allocator simpler we could for now calloc
just call malloc and memset. With that we could omit a changes that
would duplicate malloc changes anyway.
Source packages that need to support both 2.19 and
2.20 will need to decide to use _BSD_SOURCE and
_SVID_SOURCE vs. _DEFAULT_SOURCE.
The difficulty in making that decision is that
__GLIBC_MINOR__ is itself defined in features.h,
but you want to set the feature test macros before
including features.h.
Therefore to ease the transition we should disable
the warning if _DEFAULT_SOURCE is also defined.

This commit fixes a bug where the dynamic loader would crash
when loading audit libraries, via LD_AUDIT, where those libraries
used TLS. The dynamic loader was not considering that the audit
libraries would use TLS and failed to bump the TLS generation
counter leaving TLS usage inconsistent after loading the audit
libraries.

Shifting into the sign position is currently supported as a GCC
extension, but explicitly subjected to future changes. Computation
in the unsigned type followed by a cast to the signed type is a GCC
extension that will be available forever.
Now the ARM port implements pointer encryption for jmpbufs, gdb needs
a SystemTap probe point in longjmp to determine the target PC of
a call to longjmp. This patch implements the probe point in longjmp
and a similar probe point in setjmp.
In order to have all the appropriate registers available to pass to the
probe this reorders the layout of jmpbuf, putting the sp and lr registers
at the start rather than the end, allowing them to be read and
written sequentially.
Tested on armv7, no new failures in the glibc testsuite and confirmed
that this fixes the gdb.base/longjmp.exp failures in the gdb testsuite.
ChangeLog:
2014-02-25 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* sysdeps/arm/__longjmp.S: Include stap-probe.h.
(__longjmp): Restore sp and lr before restoring callee
saved registers. Add longjmp and longjmp_target
SystemTap probe point.
* sysdeps/arm/bits/setjmp.h (__jmp_buf): Update comment.
* sysdeps/arm/include/bits/setjmp.h (__JMP_BUF_SP):
Define to zero to match jmpbuf layout.
* sysdeps/arm/setjmp.S: Include stap-probe.h.
(__sigsetjmp): Save sp and lr before saving callee
saved registers. Add setjmp SystemTap probe point.
elf/tst-auxv.c includes misc/sys/auxv.h, which ends up not actually
being included due to the guard overlap, and getauxval becomes an
implicit declaration and implicit pointer conversion which means, at
best, the test isn't actually testing what it thinks it is and, at
worst, it'll crash and burn on platforms where implict pointer
conversion is a Very Bad Thing.
* sysdeps/powerpc/bits/hwcap.h: Allow _SYSDEPS_SYSDEP_H guard as a
synonym for _SYS_AUXV_H to allow direct inclusion.
* sysdeps/sparc/bits/hwcap.h: Likewise.
* sysdeps/powerpc/sysdep.h: Define _SYSDEPS_SYSDEP_H instead of
_SYS_AUXV_H so we can include sysdep.h and sys/auxv.h together.
* sysdeps/sparc/sysdep.h: Likewise.
