Since tile support has been removed from the Linux kernel for 4.17,
this patch removes the (unmaintained) port to tilegx from glibc (the
tilepro support having been previously removed). This reflects the
general principle that a glibc port needs upstream support for the
architecture in all the components it build-depends on (so binutils,
GCC and the Linux kernel, for the normal case of a port supporting the
Linux kernel but no other OS), in order to be maintainable.
Apart from removal of sysdeps/tile and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile,
there are updates to various comments referencing tile for which
removal of those references seemed appropriate. The configuration is
removed from README and from build-many-glibcs.py. contrib.texi keeps
mention of removed contributions, but I updated Chris Metcalf's entry
to reflect that he also contributed the non-removed support for the
generic Linux kernel syscall interface.
__ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN support is removed, as it was only used
by tile.
* sysdeps/tile: Remove.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile: Likewise.
* README (tilegx-*-linux-gnu): Remove from list of supported
configurations.
* manual/contrib.texi (Contributors): Mention Chris Metcalf's
contribution of support for generic Linux kernel syscall
interface.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Remove
tilegx configurations.
(Config.install_linux_headers): Do not handle tile.

in comment.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nios2/Makefile: Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/posix_fadvise.c: Likewise.
[__ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN] (__ALIGNMENT_ARG): Remove
conditional undefine and redefine.

[__ASSUME_FADVISE64_64_NO_ALIGN] (__ALIGNMENT_ARG): Remove
conditional undefine and redefine.
Now that GCC 8 has branched, this patch makes build-many-glibcs.py
default to using GCC 8 branch instead of GCC 7. The effect should be
that all builds complete cleanly and the compilation parts of the
glibc testsuite complete cleanly except for on i686-gnu (with GCC 7
there were testsuite failures for some other configurations as well).
I've replaced my bot building using GCC 6 branch with one using GCC 8
branch. (Of course glibc should continue building with GCC 6 - and
for that matter GCC 5 and 4.9, which are no longer maintained, are
supported versions as well - but building with GCC 6 will no longer be
included in my bot testing.)
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default GCC
version to GCC 8 branch.
If e.g. the testcase nptl/test-mutex-printers is run
with enabled lock-elision, it fails on s390x with:
Error: Response does not match the expected pattern.
Command: print *mutex
Expected pattern: pthread_mutex_t
Response: No symbol "mutex" in current context.
(gdb)
See https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-03/msg00583.html
for more details.
In fact the mutex pretty printer tests rely on looking at the
internal details of the lock, thus we disable it by setting up
the GLIB_TUNABLES environment variable inside gdb.
ChangeLog:
* scripts/test_printers_common.py (init_test): Disable lock elision.
The powerpcspe GCC port has been obsoleted in GCC 8 for not having had
the removal of code for non-SPE processors completed. This patch
accordingly arranges for build-many-glibcs.py to configure GCC with
--enable-obsolete for affected configurations. This is temporary;
either the port gets cleaned up and unobsoleted in GCC and the
configure option can be removed, or the port gets removed in GCC and
we should remove the corresponding glibc support.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for the affected configurations.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Use
--enable-obsolete for powerpc-linux-gnuspe.
mig_support does not actually inline the stpncpy any more.
* mach/mach/mig_support.h [defined __USE_GNU]: Do not #error out.
* scripts/check-installed-headers.sh: Do not ignore Hurd and Mach
headers.
We shipped 2.27 with libio.h and _G_config.h still installed but
issuing warnings when used. Let's stop installing them early in 2.28
so that we have plenty of time to think of another plan if there are
problems.
The public stdio.h had a genuine dependency on libio.h for the
complete definitions of FILE and cookie_io_functions_t, and a genuine
dependency on _G_config.h for the complete definitions of fpos_t and
fpos64_t; these are moved to single-type headers.
bits/types/struct_FILE.h also provides a handful of accessor and
bitflags macros so that code is not duplicated between bits/stdio.h
and libio.h. All the other _IO_ and _G_ names used by the public
stdio.h can be replaced with either public names or __-names.
In order to minimize the risk of breaking our own compatibility code,
bits/types/struct_FILE.h preserves the _IO_USE_OLD_IO_FILE mechanism
exactly as it was in libio.h, but you have to define _LIBC to use it,
or it'll error out. Similarly, _IO_lock_t_defined is preserved
exactly, but will error out if used without defining _LIBC.
Internally, include/stdio.h continues to include libio.h, and libio.h
scrupulously provides every _IO_* and _G_* name that it always did,
perhaps now defined in terms of the public names. This is how this
patch avoids touching dozens of files throughout glibc and becoming
entangled with the _IO_MTSAFE_IO mess. The remaining patches in this
series eliminate most of the _G_ names.
Tested on x86_64-linux; in addition to the test suite, I installed the
library in a sysroot and verified that a simple program that uses
stdio.h could be compiled against the installed library, and I also
verified that installed stripped libraries are unchanged.
* libio/bits/types/__fpos_t.h, libio/bits/types/__fpos64_t.h:
New single-type headers split from _G_config.h.
* libio/bits/types/cookie_io_functions_t.h

and _IO_cookie_io_functions_t as cookie_io_functions_t.
Define _STDIO_USES_IOSTREAM, __HAVE_COLUMN, and _IO_file_flags
here, in the "compatibility defines" section. Remove an #if 0
block. Use the "body" macros from bits/types/struct_FILE.h to
define _IO_getc_unlocked, _IO_putc_unlocked, _IO_feof_unlocked,
and _IO_ferror_unlocked.
Move prototypes of __uflow and __overflow...
* libio/stdio.h: ...here. Don't include bits/libio.h.
Don't define _STDIO_USES_IOSTREAM. Get __gnuc_va_list
directly from stdarg.h. Include bits/types/__fpos_t.h,
bits/types/__fpos64_t.h, bits/types/struct_FILE.h,
and, when __USE_GNU, bits/types/cookie_io_functions_t.h.
Use __gnuc_va_list, not _G_va_list; __fpos_t, not _G_fpos_t;
__fpos64_t, not _G_fpos64_t; FILE, not struct _IO_FILE;
cookie_io_functions_t, not _IO_cookie_io_functions_t;
__ssize_t, not _IO_ssize_t. Unconditionally define
BUFSIZ as 8192 and EOF as (-1).
* libio/bits/stdio.h: Add multiple-include guard. Use the "body"
macros from bits/types/struct_FILE.h instead of _IO_* macros
from libio.h; use __gnuc_va_list instead of va_list and __ssize_t
instead of _IO_ssize_t.
* libio/bits/stdio2.h: Similarly.
* libio/iolibio.h: Add multiple-include guard.
Include bits/libio.h after stdio.h.

respectively. Remove improper-inclusion guards.
* conform/data/stdio.h-data: Update expectations of va_list.
* scripts/check-installed-headers.sh: Remove special case for
libio.h and _G_config.h.
With the git checkouts of Hurd components in build-many-glibcs.py
involving running autoreconf, there's a risk that generated files
could be left behind by an old autoreconf run (if an old version of
the sources generates those files in the source directory but a new
version does not).
This patch avoids that by using git clean -dxfq when updating git
checkouts. In this patch, that's conditional on --replace-sources, to
avoid removing any local not-checked-in files someone may have in
their checkout unless the option has been specifically passed that
says it's OK to blow old checkouts away, complete with any local
changes to them.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.git_checkout): Use git
clean -dxfq for git updates when replacing sources.
The disabling of libcilkrts in build-many-glibcs.py has some
peculiarities. It's only for the final GCC build, not the initial
bootstrap one, whereas normally anything disabled for the final build
should be disabled for the bootstrap one as well. And it's only for
Hurd, when it's more natural by analogy with the libsanitizer
disabling to disable this library unconditionally, not only for
targets where it's known to break. This patch cleans up that
disabling accordingly, adding a comment so it's obvious it can be
removed once GCC 7 is too old to build glibc.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Config.build_gcc): Use
--disable-libcilkrts unconditionally, not just for the final GCC
build for Hurd.
This patch makes build-many-glibcs.py use Linux 4.15. Other glibc
updates for Linux 4.15 can wait until after the 2.27 release.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default Linux
version to 4.15.
Some warnings need a couple of fixes in the gnumach headers.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (checkout_vcs): Add gnumach
repository URLs, run autoreconf, and make it the default for now.
Some warnings come from code generated by mig, so we need a very recent
version for now.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (checkout_vcs): Add mig repository
URL, and run autoreconf, make it the default for now.
gcc's libcilkrts has never actually supported GNU/Hurd, and doesn't
automatically disable it, and the support was actually removed in gcc trunk,
so that will never actually be fixed there.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py [os == gnu] (build_gcc): Pass
--disable-libcilkrts to gcc configure.
Since it turns out soft-float ColdFire has a different glibc ABI to
hard-float ColdFire, as well as various differences in which glibc
code gets built, this patch adds such a configuration to
build-many-glibcs.py to (hopefully) complete the set of ABIs being
tested. (Note that the build for soft-float ColdFire is currently
broken even with GCC mainline - I have a glibc patch to fix this, but
it needs before-and-after build-many-glibcs.py comparison of stripped
binaries for all configurations before being committed.)
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
soft-float ColdFire configuration.
This patch adds build-many-glibcs.py support for GNU Hurd. Builds of
the i686-gnu configuration will fail until sufficient support is
merged to master, so completing build-many-glibcs.py coverage of all
glibc ABIs and making results accurately reflect the broken state of
builds for Hurd.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
i686-gnu configurations.
(Context.run_builds): Include mig, gnumach and hurd in components
considered.
(Context.checkout): Add mig, gnumach and hurd to components.
(Context.checkout_tar): Add URL mappings for mig, gnumach and
hurd.
(Context.bot_cycle): Check for changes to mig, gnumach and hurd.
(Config.build): Install gnumach headers, build mig and install
hurd headers for 'gnu' OS.
(Config.install_gnumach_headers): New function.
(Config.install_hurd_headers): Likewise.
(Glibc.build_glibc): Do not use /usr for 'gnu' OS. Specifiy MIG
when building for 'gnu' OS.
The RISC-V port will have libraries in subdirectories of lib, like
"lib64/lp64d". This adds support for stripping these installed
libraries.
2018-01-06 Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@sifive.com>

libio.h was originally the header for a set of supported GNU
extensions, but they have not been maintained as such in many years,
they are now standing in the way of improvements to stdio, and we
don't think there are any remaining external users. _G_config.h was
never intended for public use, but predates the bits convention.
Move both of these headers into the bits directory and provide stubs
at top level which issue deprecation warnings.
The contents of (bits/)libio.h and (bits/)_G_config.h are still
exposed to external software via stdio.h; changing that requires more
complex surgery than I have time to attempt right now.
* libio/libio.h, libio/_G_config.h: New stub headers which issue a
deprecation warning and then include <bits/libio.h>, <bits/_G_config.h>
respectively.
* libio/libio.h: Rename the original version of this file to
libio/bits/libio.h. Error out if not included by stdio.h or the

Since the default GCC and binutils versions used by build-many-glibcs.py,
which are GCC 7 branch and binutils 2.29 branch, support static PIE on
x86_64, x32 and i686, this patch adds --enable-static-pie glibc variants
to x86_64, x32 and i686 to get some coverage for static PIE.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
--enable-static-pie variants to x86_64, x32 and i686.
My fix to make the arm-linux-gnueabihf build-many-glibcs.py builds
actually use the hard-float ABI as intended showed up another issue
when building with mainline GCC: GCC now determines an FPU based on
the selected CPU or architecture and gives an error for
-mfloat-abi=hard when the CPU does not imply a choice of FPU. This
patch fixes all the affected configurations to specify a suitable
--with-cpu, --with-fpu or -mfpu option explicitly to avoid that error
from GCC.
Tested the relevant configurations with build-many-glibcs.py with
mainline GCC.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Specify
CPU or FPU for ARM hard-float configurations.
The conventional configure triplet for ARM GNU/Linux with hard-float
ABI is arm-*-linux-gnueabihf. However, GCC does not automatically use
the hard-float ABI based on that triplet. This patch fixes
build-many-glibcs.py to pass --with-float=hard so that the
arm-linux-gnueabihf configurations actually build with the intended
ABI.
Tested building the affected configurations with build-many-glibcs.py.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Use
--with-float=hard for arm-linux-gnueabihf configurations.
There is a configure option --without-fp that specifies that nofpu
sysdeps directories should be used instead of fpu directories.
For most glibc configurations, this option is of no use: either there
is no valid nofpu variant of that configuration, or there are no fpu
or nofpu sysdeps directories for that processor and so the option does
nothing. For a few configurations, if you are using a soft-float
compiler this option is required, and failing to use it generally
results in compilation errors from inline asm using unavailable
floating-point instructions.
We're moving away from --with-cpu to configuring glibc based on how
the compiler generates code, and it is natural to do so for
--without-fp as well; in most cases the soft-float and hard-float ABIs
are incompatible so you have no hope of building a working glibc with
an inappropriately configured compiler or libgcc.
This patch eliminates --without-fp, replacing it entirely by automatic
configuration based on the compiler. Configurations for which this is
relevant (coldfire / mips / powerpc32 / sh) define a variable
with_fp_cond in their preconfigure fragments (under the same
conditions under which those fragments do anything); this is a
preprocessor conditional which the toplevel configure script then uses
in a test to determine which sysdeps directories to use.
The config.make with-fp variable remains. It's used only by powerpc
(sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/Makefile) to add -mhard-float to various
flags variables. For powerpc, -mcpu= options can imply use of
soft-float. That could be an issue if you want to build for
e.g. 476fp, but are using --with-cpu=476 because there isn't a 476fp
sysdeps directory. If in future we eliminate --with-cpu and replace
it entirely by testing the compiler, it would be natural at that point
to eliminate that code as well (as the user should then just use a
compiler defaulting to 476fp and the 476 sysdeps directory would be
used automatically).
Tested for x86_64, and tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed
shared libraries are unchanged by this patch.

While working on SPARC changes to use libm_alias_* I noticed that the
non-multi-arch sparc32/sparcv9/fpu/s_fabs.S was missing compat symbol
support for fabsl. This clearly shows inadequate test coverage, so
this patch adds SPARC --disable-multi-arch builds to
build-many-glibcs.py (the 32-bit one fails testing until that bug is
fixed, the 64-bit one passes testing).
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs): Add
SPARC --disable-multi-arch glibc variants.
This patch adds two extra configuration for arm-linux-gnueabihf to
cover for multiarch support:
1. arm-linux-gnueabihf-v7a: enables multiarch support by using
-march=armv7a.
2. Same as 1. but with --disable-multiarch.
Check with build-many-glibcs.py for both options.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.add_all_configs):
Add arm-linux-gnueabihf multiarch extra_glibcs.
glibc has an add-ons mechanism to allow additional software to be
integrated into the glibc build. Such add-ons may be within the glibc
source tree, or outside it at a path passed to the --enable-add-ons
configure option.
localedata and crypt were once add-ons, distributed in separate
release tarballs, but long since stopped using that mechanism.
Linuxthreads was always an add-on. Ports spent some time as an add-on
with separate release tarballs, then was first moved into the glibc
source tree, then had its sysdeps files moved into the main sysdeps
hierarchy so the add-ons mechanism was no longer used. NPTL spent
some time as an add-on in the main glibc tree before stopping using
the add-on mechanism. libidn used to have separate release tarballs
but no longer does so, but still uses the add-ons mechanism within the
glibc source tree. Various other software has supported building with
the add-ons mechanism at times in the past, but I don't think any is
still widely used.
Add-ons involve significant, little-used complexity in the glibc build
system, and make it hard to understand what the space of possible
glibc configurations is. This patch removes the add-ons mechanism.
libidn is now built via the Subdirs mechanism to cause any
configuration using sysdeps/unix/inet to build libidn; HAVE_LIBIDN
(which effectively means shared libraries are available) is now
defined via sysdeps/unix/inet/configure. Various references to
add-ons around the source tree are removed (in the case of maint.texi,
the example list of sysdeps directories is still very out of date).
Externally maintained ports should now put their files in the normal
sysdeps directory structure rather than being arranged as add-ons;
they probably need to change e.g. elf.h anyway, rather than actually
being able to work just as a drop-in subtree. Hurd libpthread should
be arranged similarly to NPTL, so some files might go in a
hurd-pthreads (or similar) top-level directory in glibc, while sysdeps
files should go in the normal sysdeps directory structure (possibly in
hurd or hurd-pthreads subdirectories, just as there are nptl
subdirectories in the sysdeps tree).
Tested for x86_64, and with build-many-glibcs.py.

When configuring and building GNU libc using the Mozilla NSS library
for cryptography (--enable-nss-crypt option), also include the
NSPR header files along with the Mozilla NSS library header files.
Finally, when running the check-local-headers test, ignore the
Mozilla NSPR library header files (used by the Mozilla NSS library).
Current implementation of tunables does not set arena_max and arena_test
values. Any value provided by glibc.malloc.arena_max and
glibc.malloc.arena_test parameters is ignored.
These tunables have minval value set to 1 (see elf/dl-tunables.list file)
and undefined maxval value. In that case default value (which is 0. see
scripts/gen-tunables.awk) is being used to set maxval.
For instance, generated tunable_list[] entry for arena_max is:
(gdb) p *cur

As a result, any value of glibc.malloc.arena_max is ignored by
TUNABLE_SET_VAL_IF_VALID_RANGE macro
__type min = (__cur)->type.min; <- initialized to 1
__type max = (__cur)->type.max; <- initialized to 0!

}
Assigning correct min/max values at a build time fixes a problem.
Plus, a bit of optimization: Setting of default min/max values for the
given type at a run time might be eliminated.
* elf/dl-tunables.c (do_tunable_update_val): Range checking fix.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Set unspecified minval and/or maxval
values to correct default value for given type.
This patch updates build-many-glibcs.py to use the current release
branch of binutils and current releases of GMP and the Linux kernel.
* scripts/build-many-glibcs.py (Context.checkout): Default
binutils version to 2.29 branch, GMP version to 6.1.2 and Linux
kernel version to 4.12.
Awk 3.1.x does not support multi-dimensional arrays, so fix up to make
sure that gen-tunables.awk works on it.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Avoid multi-dimensional arrays.
Add LD_HWCAP_MASK to tunables in preparation of it being removed from
rtld.c. This allows us to read LD_HWCAP_MASK much earlier so that it
can influence IFUNC resolution in aarch64.
This patch does not actually do anything other than read the
LD_HWCAP_MASK variable and add the tunables way to set the
LD_HWCAP_MASK, i.e. via the glibc.tune.hwcap_mask tunable. In a
follow-up patch, the _dl_hwcap_mask will be replaced with
glibc.tune.hwcap_mask to complete the transition.
* elf/dl-tunables.list: Add glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Include dl-procinfo.h.
* manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.
