The getdents64 syscall adds on 32-but platforms padding which isn't needed
and not included in the userlevel data structure definition. We have to
avoid copying those padding bytes in the readdir64_r function.
When doing i686-unknown-linux-gnu build configured with --enable-kernel=2.6.24,
there are several warnings like this:
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/fcntl.c:36:12: warning: ‘miss_F_GETOWN_EX’ defined but not used
It's already so marked in dl-sysdep.c. Failure to so mark
in the header file leads the compiler to believe that the
variable should be addressable via the .sdata section.

GCC 4.5 warns about "extern void _end; &end;".
Use char[] instead, as that also doesn't fall foul
of a target's .sdata optimizations.

When not using gethostbyname4 methods we immediately aborted the loop
over the nss modules on the first successful lookup. While this is
almost always what is wanted the nsswitch.conf file allows to select
something different.
The old implementation uses fd 0 to determine the login TTY. This
was needed because using /dev/tty it is not possible to deduce the
login TTY. For some time now there is the pseudo-file
/proc/self/loginuid which directly helps us to find the user. Prefer
using this file. It also works if stdin is closed, redirected, or
re-opened.
msgrcv() does not work on sparc64, as it passes the 6th argument using
the ipc kludge, while the kernel waits for a 6 arguments syscall. This
patches fixes the problem by using a sparc64 specific version of
msgrcv.c.

When prelinking fails we have to rewrite the PLT, but the code
doing so forgets to adjust all rela->r_offset addresses by the
location of where the object was actually mapped.

If a binary gets invoked by passing it as argument to ld.so the stack
still holds the auxiliary vector of ld.so when entering the _start
routine of the executable. So the invocation via ld.so is not fully
transparent to the executable. This causes problems if the executable
wants to scan the auxv itself.
grantpt was performing two consecutive calls to stat with the same
file name. Avoid this by creating a special version of the ptsname
function which allows to pass the stat result back to the caller.
The pt_chown program is completely transparently called. It might
not be able to live with the various file descriptors the program
has open at the time of the call (e.g., under SELinux). Close all
but the needed descriptor and connect stdin, stdout, and stderr
with /dev/null. pt_chown shouldn't print anything when called to
do real work.
This is a minor optimization. The tty group mustn't change so a
successful call to getgrnam will always return the same information.
Cache it and reuse it.
The ntp_gettime implementation of NTP exports the tai field the kernel
now produces. This requires an ABI change since the ntptimeval structure
changed. Upstream kept the same name, there is nothing to do. This
patch changes the ntptimeval structure but keeps the old ntp_gettime
definition. A new ntp_gettimex function which is transparently invoked
through the old name is introduced. This has the advantage that even
object files can remain compatible. This wouldn't be the case if
symbol versioning would be used to overload the name ntp_gettime.
I've noticed that sync_file_range is a stub on ppc/ppc64.
The kernel on these arches provides sync_file_range2 syscall with swapped
parameters.
The following completely untested patch ought to fix this.
Due to alignment of 64bit parameters there is a dummy second argument.
But other than that the syscall arguments are directly mapped to the
function arguments.
I've just committed STT_GNU_IFUNC ppc/ppc64 support into prelink,
and this patch is needed on the glibc side. Without it ld.so segfaults,
as in dl-conflict.c sym_map is always NULL. While dl-machine.h could use
RESOLVE_CONFLICT_FIND_MAP macro to compute it, it doesn't make sense,
because with prelink we know it is already properly relocated (all relative
relocations are applied by prelink).
As reported in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/533063 , preadv/pwritev prototypes
are wrong on 32-bit arches with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and as I've just
found, fallocate is wrong too.
The problem is that only off_t is remapped to the 64-bit type transparently,
__off_t is not.
The implementation of posix_openpt on Linux can fail in a few extra
ways if the appropriate pseudo filesystems are not mounted etc. In
some of these cases we have to explicitly set errno.
If a second call to ttyname is not for the same type of device (e.g.,
serial vs ptty) the prefix of the buffer was wrong. Don't rely on
the previous content, always reinitialize it.
The syscall conventions on some Linux archs prevented F_GETOWN from working
correctly in some situations. This can be rectified when using the new
F_GETOWN_EX command.
tst-longjmp_chk passes, tst-longjmp_chk2 fails but that is because
of some limitations of kernel signal delivery on sparc that I need
to fix, it has nothing to do with the longjmp_chk implementation.
(The problem with tst-longjmp_chk2 is that it tries to do a stack
fault SIGSEGV within a stack fault SIGSEGV , and the Linux kernel
will refuse to setup the signal stack and deliver the signal if the
register windows can't be written out to the stack first)
If a signal arrived during a symbol lookup and the signal handler also
required a symbol lookup, the end of the lookup in the signal handler reset
the flag whether restoring AVX/SSE registers is needed. Resetting means
in this case that the tail part of the outer lookup code will try to
restore the registers and this can fail miserably. We now restore to the
previous value which makes nesting calls possible.
On 64-bit machines we should not split doubles into two 32 bit
integer and handle the words separately. We have wide registers.
This patch implements a 64-bit ceil version. Ideally all other
functions will be converted over time.
This patch fixes mixed SSE/AVX audit and checks AVX only once in
_dl_runtime_profile. When an AVX or SSE register value in pltenter is
modified, we have to make sure that the SSE part value is the same in both
lr_xmm and lr_vector fields so that pltexit will get the correct value
from either lr_xmm or lr_vector fields. AVX-enabled pltenter should
update both lr_xmm and lr_vector fields to support stacked AVX/SSE
pltenter functions.
The meaning of the 25-14 bits in EAX returned from cpuid with EAX = 4
has been changed from "the maximum number of threads sharing the cache"
to "the maximum number of addressable IDs for logical processors sharing
the cache" if cpuid takes EAX = 11. We need to use results from both
EAX = 4 and EAX = 11 to get the number of threads sharing the cache.
The 25-14 bits in EAX on Core i7 is 15 although the number of logical
processors is 8. Here is a white paper on this:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-64-architecture-processor-topology-enumeration/
This patch correctly counts number of logical processors on Intel CPUs
with EAX = 11 support on cpuid. Tested on Dinnington, Core i7 and
Nehalem EX/EP.
It also fixed Pentium Ds workaround since EBX may not have the right
value returned from cpuid with EAX = 1.
This patch adds 32bit SSE4.2 string functions. It uses -16L instead of
0xfffffffffffffff0L, which works for both 32bit and 64bit long. Tested
on 32bit Core i7 and Core 2.
