f08e9a2629 Fix fallout from Joseph's untested Makeconfig change. 2014-02-28 13:00:27 -08:00
Joseph Myers
a5f891ac8d Consistently include Makeconfig after defining subdir.
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  (A list of such variables, possibly out of date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.

4248f0da6f Simplify calloc implementation.
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.

f0881698bf Generate .test-result files for tests with special rules.
This patch, an updated version of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00194.html> now
proposed for inclusion in glibc, extends the generation of PASS and
FAIL status in .test-result files for individual tests to cover tests
with their own custom makefile rules.  This is just adding
$(evaluate-test) calls to all such rules, since tests with multiple
commands were previously split into separate tests.

Note that the tests the makefiles expect to fail (posix/annexc and
conformtest) currently get FAIL listed in the .test-result file,
rather than XFAIL; a subsequent patch will introduce a better XFAIL
mechanism.

Tested x86_64.

362b47fe09 Fix race in free() of fastbin chunk: BZ #15073
Perform sanity check only if we have_lock.  Due to lockless nature of fastbins
we need to be careful derefencing pointers to fastbin entries (chunksize(old)
in this case) in multithreaded environments.

The fix is to add have_lock to the if-condition checks.  The rest of the patch
only makes code more readable.

84ae135d32 Use __glibc_block in public headers.
As detailed in PR11157, the use of '__block' is known to interfere
with keywords in some environments, such as the Clang -fblocks extension.
Recently a similar issue was raised concerning the use of '__unused'
and a '__glibc' prefix was proposed to create a glibc implementation
namespace for these sorts of issues [1].  This patches takes that
approach.

a56ee40b17 malloc: Fix for infinite loop in memalign/posix_memalign.
A very large alignment argument passed to mealign/posix_memalign
causes _int_memalign to enter an infinite loop. Limit the maximum
alignment value to the maximum representable power of two to
prevent this from happening.

39b1f6172a Move _obstack_compat out of common
it is impossible to create an alias of a common symbol (as
compat_symbol does), because common symbols do not have a section or
an offset until linked.  GNU as tolerates aliases of common symbols by
simply creating another common symbol, but other assemblers (notably
LLVM's integrated assembler) are less tolerant.

	* malloc/obstack.c (_obstack_compat): Add initializer.
