The ChangeLog automation scripts were incorporated in gnulib as
vcs-to-changelog for a while now since other projects expressed the
desire to use and extend this script. In the interest of avoiding
duplication of code, drop the glibc version of gitlog-to-changelog and
use the gnulib one directly.
The only file that remains is vcstocl_quirks.py, which specifies
properties and quirks of the glibc project source code. This patch
also drops the shebang at the start of vcstocl_quirks.py since the
file is not intended to be directly executable.
The change was introduced in:
commit 33bc9efd91

When unwinding through a signal frame the backtrace function on PowerPC
didn't check array bounds when storing the frame address. Fixes commit
d400dcac5e ("PowerPC: fix backtrace to handle signal trampolines").
Filip Ochnik spotted that one of the error jumps in gethosts fails to
call __resolv_context_put to release the resolver context.
Fixes commit 352f4ff9a2 ("resolv:

964263bb8d ("getaddrinfo: Release
resolver context on error in gethosts [BZ #21885]").

The commit 446997ff14 introduced
this new usage of resplen. If build with gcc 9 -march>=z13 on s390x,
the following warning occurs:
res_send.c: In function ‘__res_context_send’:
res_send.c:539:6: error: ‘resplen’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
539 | if (resplen > HFIXEDSZ)

Therefore this patch adds a further DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT in the
same way as it was previously done for usages of resplen or n.

The translation project coordinator Benno Schulenberg suggested that
we could save space in our tarball by trimming the generated po files
by using msgattrib and dropping all untranslated, fuzzy and obsolete
messages. This patch updates the update-translations target to do
that. Testing indicates that the current po files reduce by over 65K
lines due to this trimming.
The latest translations in the translationproject URL need to be
merged in using msgmerge for the po files to be correctly updated,
otherwise we may end up getting odd results, such as the previous
translations update. This patch adds another step to the
update-translations Makefile target which does a msgmerge of the
downloaded po file with libc.pot and then uses that as the final
result.
The build has been failing on powerpc64le-linux-gnu with GCC 10
due to a maybe-uninitialized error:
../sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64/mpa.c:875:6: error: ‘w.e’ may be used
uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
875 | EY -= EX;
| ^~
The warning is thrown because when __inv is called by __dvd *y is not
initialized and if t == 0 before calling __dbl_mp, EY will stay
uninitialized, as the function does not touch it in this case.
However, since t will be set to 1/t before calling __dbl_mp, t == 0 will
never happen, so we can instruct the compiler to ignore this case, which
suppresses the warning.
Tested on powerpc64le.

This test was failing in some powerpc systems as it was not checking

As said on the Linux man-pages and can be observed by the implementation

return EINVAL or ENOSPC. ENOSPC will indicate either that all keys are

Without CET, a jump into a newly loaded object through an overwritten
link map often does not crash, it just executes some random code.
CET detects this in some cases because the function pointer does not
point to the start of a function in the replacement shared object,
so there is no ENDBR instruction.
The new test uses a small shared object and the existing dangling
link map to trigger the bug.

In commit aa706e13f4,
sysdeps/mips/ieee754/ieee754.h was changed to use GCC’s predefined
macro __LDBL_MANT_DIG__, instead of including <float.h> and using
LDBL_MANT_DIG (and therefore polluting the user namespace with all of
the macros defined in float.h). In order to support compilers that
don’t provide __LDBL_MANT_DIG__, there is a fallback #if block which
was supposed to include <float.h> and then define __LDBL_MANT_DIG__ to
LDBL_MANT_DIG. However, at some point during the development of the
patch, a typo was introduced, causing the fallback block to define
__LDBL_MANT_DIG__ to expand to __LDBL_MANT_DIG__.
Correct this typo.
Add another newline when the number of files differing is too large.
This is typical for across-the-board changes such as the copyright
year update that happened recently.
Without a proper size, we get MACH_RCV_TOO_LARGE instead of MACH_MSG_SUCCESS.

As explained on
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2020-01/msg00049.html
the presence of __errno_location in libpthread.so on GNU/Linux makes
libpthread getting linked in for libstdc++. This aligns on that behavior, to
avoid issues that only GNU/Hurd would get.
This follows bd60ce8652 ('nptl: Move pthread_atfork to libc_nonshared.a')
with the same rationale: there is no non-libpthread equivalent to be used
for making linking against libpthread optional.
libpthread_nonshared.a is unused after this, so remove it from the
build.
There is no ABI impact because pthread_atfork was implemented using
__register_atfork in libc even before this change.
pthread_atfork has to be a weak alias because pthread_* names are not
reserved in libc.
This patch avoid probing the __NR_clock_getttime64 syscall each time

This patch moves the vDSO setup from libc to loader code, just after
the vDSO link_map setup. For static case the initialization
is moved to _dl_non_dynamic_init instead.
Instead of using the mangled pointer, the vDSO data is set as
attribute_relro (on _rtld_global_ro for shared or _dl_vdso_* for
static). It is read-only even with partial relro.
It fixes BZ#24967 now that the vDSO pointer is setup earlier than
malloc interposition is called.
Also, vDSO calls should not be a problem for static dlopen as
indicated by BZ#20802. The vDSO pointer would be zero-initialized
and the syscall will be issued instead.
