Robin Hack discovered Samba would enter an infinite loop processing
certain quota-related requests. We eventually tracked this down to a
glibc issue.
Running a (simplified) test case under strace shows that /etc/passwd
is continuously opened and closed:
…
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
read(3, "root❌0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n"..., 4096) = 2717
lseek(3, 2717, SEEK_SET) = 2717
close(3) = 0
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
read(3, "root❌0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n"..., 4096) = 2717
lseek(3, 2717, SEEK_SET) = 2717
close(3) = 0
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
…
The lookup function implementation in
nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c:DB_LOOKUP has code to prevent that. It is
supposed skip closing the input file if it was already open.
/* Reset file pointer to beginning or open file. */ \
status = internal_setent (keep_stream); \
\
if (status == NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS) \
{ \
/* Tell getent function that we have repositioned the file pointer. */ \
last_use = getby; \
\
while ((status = internal_getent (result, buffer, buflen, errnop \
H_ERRNO_ARG EXTRA_ARGS_VALUE)) \
== NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS) \
{ break_if_match } \
\
if (! keep_stream) \
internal_endent (); \
} \
keep_stream is initialized from the stayopen flag in internal_setent.
internal_setent is called from the set*ent implementation as:
status = internal_setent (stayopen);
However, for non-host database, this flag is always 0, per the
STAYOPEN magic in nss/getXXent_r.c.
Thus, the fix is this:
- status = internal_setent (stayopen);
+ status = internal_setent (1);
This is not a behavioral change even for the hosts database (where the
application can specify the stayopen flag) because with a call to
sethostent(0), the file handle is still not closed in the
implementation of gethostent.
The implementation of roundl for ldbl-128 involves undefined behavior
for arguments with exponents from 31 to 47 inclusive, from the shift:
u_int64_t i = -1ULL >> (j0 - 48);
For example, on mips64, this means roundl (0xffffffffffff.8p0L)
wrongly returns its argument, which is not an integer. A condition
checking for exponents < 31 should actually be checking for exponents
< 48, and this patch makes it do so. (That condition is for whether
the bit representing 0.5 is in the high 64-bit half of the
floating-point number. The value 31 might have arisen from an
incorrect conversion of the ldbl-96 version to handle ldbl-128.)
This was originally reported as a GCC libquadmath bug
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65757>.
Tested for mips64; also tested for x86_64 and x86 to make sure the new
tests pass there.

According to bug 6792, errno is not set to ERANGE/EDOM
by calling log1p/log1pf/log1pl with x = -1 or x < -1.
This patch adds a wrapper which sets errno in those cases
and returns the value of the existing __log1p function.
The log1p is now an alias to the wrapper function
instead of __log1p.
The files in sysdeps are reflecting these changes.
The ia64 implementation sets errno by itself,
thus the wrapper-file is empty.
The libm-test is adjusted for log1p-tests to check errno.

Bug 18247 is an off-by-one error in strtof's determination of a
decimal exponent such that any value with that decimal exponent is at
most half the least subnormal and so the appropriate underflowing
value for the rounding mode can be determined with no
multiple-precision computations. (Whether the value is in fact safe
despite the off-by-one depends on the floating-point format in
question. It's wrong for float and for m68k ldbl-96 but not for other
supported formats.) This patch corrects the computation of the
exponent in question to be safe in general, adding a comment
explaining the new computation.

Trimming heaps is a balance between saving memory and the system overhead
required to update page tables and discard allocated pages. The malloc
option M_TRIM_THRESHOLD is a tunable that users are meant to use to decide
where this balance point is but it is only applied to the main arena.
For scalability reasons, glibc malloc has per-thread heaps but these are
shrunk with madvise() if there is one page free at the top of the heap.
In some circumstances this can lead to high system overhead if a thread
has a control flow like
while (data_to_process) {
buf = malloc(large_size);
do_stuff();
free(buf);
}
For a large size, the free() will call madvise (pagetable teardown, page
free and TLB flush) every time followed immediately by a malloc (fault,
kernel page alloc, zeroing and charge accounting). The kernel overhead
can dominate such a workload.
This patch allows the user to tune when madvise gets called by applying
the trim threshold to the per-thread heaps and using similar logic to the
main arena when deciding whether to shrink. Alternatively if the dynamic
brk/mmap threshold gets adjusted then the new values will be obeyed by
the per-thread heaps.
Bug 17195 was a test case motivated by a problem encountered in scientific
applications written in python that performance badly due to high page fault
overhead. The basic operation of such a program was posted by Julian Taylor
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00373.html
With this patch applied, the overhead is eliminated. All numbers in this
report are in seconds and were recorded by running Julian's program 30
times.

Note that almost a minutes worth of system time is eliminted and the

To illustrate the problem without python this is a basic test-case for
the worst case scenario where every free is a madvise followed by a an alloc
/* gcc bench-free.c -lpthread -o bench-free */
static int num = 1024;
void __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) dostuff (void *p)
{
}
void *worker (void *data)
{
int i;
for (i = num; i--;)
{
void *m = malloc (48*4096);
dostuff (m);
free (m);
}
return NULL;
}
int main()

pthread_t t;
void *ret;
if (pthread_create (&t, NULL, worker, NULL))
exit (2);
if (pthread_join (t, &ret))
exit (3);
return 0;
}
Before the patch, this resulted in 1024 calls to madvise. With the patch applied,
madvise is called twice because the default trim threshold is high enough to avoid
this.
This a more complex case where there is a mix of frees. It's simply a different worker
function for the test case above
void *worker (void *data)
{
int i;
int j = 0;
void *free_index[num];
for (i = num; i--;)
{
void *m = malloc ((i % 58) *4096);
dostuff (m);
if (i % 2 == 0) {
free (m);
} else {
free_index[j++] = m;
}
}
for (; j >= 0; j--)
{
free(free_index[j]);
}
return NULL;
}
glibc 2.21 calls malloc 90305 times but with the patch applied, it's
called 13438. Increasing the trim threshold will decrease the number of
times it's called with the option of eliminating the overhead.
ebizzy is meant to generate a workload resembling common web application
server workloads. It is threaded with a large working set that at its core
has an allocation, do_stuff, free loop that also hits this case. The primary
metric of the benchmark is records processed per second. This is running on
my desktop which is a single socket machine with an I7-4770 and 8 cores.
Each thread count was run for 30 seconds. It was only run once as the
performance difference is so high that the variation is insignificant.

threads 2 19153 84925
threads 4 34295 134569
threads 8 51007 183387
Note that the saving happens to be a concidence as the size allocated
by ebizzy was less than the default threshold. If a different number of
chunks were specified then it may also be necessary to tune the threshold
to compensate
This is roughly quadrupling the performance of this benchmark. The difference in
system CPU usage illustrates why.

running this workload calls madvise approximately 9000 times a second. With

This patch is glibc support for a PowerPC TLS optimization, inspired
by Alexandre Oliva's TLS optimization for other processors,
http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/writeups/TLS/RFC-TLSDESC-x86.txt
In essence, this optimization uses a zero module id in the tls_index
GOT entry to indicate that a TLS variable is allocated space in the
static TLS area. A special plt call linker stub for __tls_get_addr
checks for such a tls_index and if found, returns the offset
immediately. The linker communicates the fact that the special
__tls_get_addr stub is used by setting a bit in the dynamic tag
DT_PPC64_OPT/DT_PPC_OPT. glibc communicates to the linker that this
optimization is available by the presence of __tls_get_addr_opt.
tst-tlsmod2.so is built with -Wl,--no-tls-get-addr-optimize for
tst-tls-dlinfo, which otherwise would fail since it tests that no
static tls is allocated. The ld option --no-tls-get-addr-optimize has
been available since binutils-2.20 so doesn't need a configure test.

sem_timedwait converts absolute timeouts to relative to pass them to
the futex syscall. (Before the recent reimplementation, on x86_64 it
used FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME, but not on other architectures.)
Correctly implementing POSIX requirements, however, requires use of
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME; passing a relative timeout to the kernel does
not conform to POSIX. The POSIX specification for sem_timedwait says
"The timeout shall be based on the CLOCK_REALTIME clock.". The POSIX
specification for clock_settime says "If the value of the
CLOCK_REALTIME clock is set via clock_settime(), the new value of the
clock shall be used to determine the time of expiration for absolute
time services based upon the CLOCK_REALTIME clock. This applies to the
time at which armed absolute timers expire. If the absolute time
requested at the invocation of such a time service is before the new
value of the clock, the time service shall expire immediately as if
the clock had reached the requested time normally.". If a relative
timeout is passed to the kernel, it is interpreted according to the
CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock, and so fails to meet that POSIX requirement in
the event of clock changes.
This patch makes sem_timedwait use lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset with
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME when possible, as done in some other places in
NPTL. FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME is always available for supported Linux
kernel versions; unavailability of lll_futex_timed_wait_bitset is only
an issue for hppa (an issue noted in
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/PortStatus>, and fixed by the
unreviewed
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-12/msg00655.html> that
removes the hppa lowlevellock.h completely).
In the FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME case, the glibc code still needs to check
for negative tv_sec and handle that as timeout, because the Linux
kernel returns EINVAL not ETIMEDOUT for that case, so resulting in
failures of nptl/tst-abstime and nptl/tst-sem13 in the absence of that
check. If we're trying to distinguish between Linux-specific and
generic-futex NPTL code, I suppose having this in an nptl/ file isn't
ideal, but there doesn't seem to be any better place at present.
It's not possible to add a testcase for this issue to the testsuite
because of the requirement to change the system clock as part of a
test (this is a case where testing would require some form of
container, with root in that container, and one whose CLOCK_REALTIME
is isolated from that of the host; I'm not sure what forms of
containers, short of a full virtual machine, provide that clock
isolation).
Tested for x86_64. Also tested for powerpc with the testcase included
in the bug.

In bug 14906 the user complains that the inotify support in nscd
is not sufficient when it comes to detecting changes in the
configurationfiles that should be watched for the various databases.
The current nscd implementation uses inotify to watch for changes in
the configuration files, but adds watches only for IN_DELETE_SELF and
IN_MODIFY. These watches are insufficient to cover even the most basic
uses by a system administrator. For example using emacs or vim to edit
a configuration file should trigger a reload but it might not if
the editors use move to atomically update the file. This atomic update
changes the inode and thus removes the notification on the file (as
inotify is based on inodes). Thus the inotify support in nscd for
configuration files is insufficient to account for the average use
cases of system administrators and users.
The inotify support is significantly enhanced and described here:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00504.html
Tested on x86_64 with and without inotify support.
ldconfig is using an aux-cache to speed up the ld.so.cache update. It
is read by mmaping the file to a structure which contains data offsets
used as pointers. As they are not checked, it is not hard to get
ldconfig to segfault with a corrupted file. This happens for instance if
the file is truncated, which is common following a filesystem check
following a system crash.
This can be reproduced for example by truncating the file to roughly
half of it's size.
There is already some code in elf/cache.c (load_aux_cache) to check
for a corrupted aux cache, but it happens to be broken and not enough.
The test (aux_cache->nlibs >= aux_cache_size) compares the number of
libs entry with the cache size. It's a non sense, as it basically
assumes that each library entry is a 1 byte... Instead this commit
computes the theoretical cache size using the headers and compares it
to the real size.
The function feupdateenv has been fixed to correctly handle FE_DFL_ENV
and FE_NOMASK_ENV.
The fesetexceptflag function has been fixed to correctly handle setting
the new flags instead of just OR-ing the existing flags.
This fixes the test-fenv-return and test-fenvinline failures on hppa.
The constraints in the inline assembly in feholdexcept and fesetenv
are incorrect. The assembly modifies the buffer pointer, but doesn't
express that in the constraints. The simple fix is to remove the
modification of the buffer pointer which is no longer required by
the existing code, and adjust the one constraint that did express
the modification of bufptr.
The change fixes test-fenv when glibc is compiled with recent gcc.
This patch fixes the inline feraiseexcept and feclearexcept macros for
powerpc by casting the input argument to integer before operation on it.
It fixes BZ#17776.
Since 2014-11-24 binutils git commit bb4d2ac2, readelf has appended
the symbol version to symbols shown in reloc dumps.

* scripts/localplt.awk: Strip off symbol version.
* NEWS: Mention bug fix.
__ASSUME_PRLIMIT64 is defined in kernel-features.h for kernels 2.6.36
and later, but hppa, microblaze and sh did not add the prlimit64
syscall until 2.6.37. This patch adds corresponding undefines of
__ASSUME_PRLIMIT64 to those architectures' kernel-features.h files.
(This concludes the kernel-features.h fixes arising out of the review
- limited to macros defined in the architecture-independent
kernel-features.h file - I did in connection with the move to 2.6.32
minimum kernel version. For that subset of macros - I didn't check
any purely architecture-specific macros - I think they are now defined
for the correct kernel versions on each architecture after this
patch.)

Protocted symbol in shared library can only be accessed from PIE

The threshold in ldbl-96 atanhl for when to return the argument,
0x1p-28, is a bit too big, and that in ldbl-128ibm atanhl is much too
big (the relevant condition being x^3/3 being < 0.5ulp of x),
resulting in errors a bit above the limits of those considered
acceptable in glibc in the ldbl-96 case, and in large errors in the
ldbl-128ibm case. This patch changes those implementations to use
more appropriate thresholds and adds tests around the thresholds for
various formats.
Tested for x86_64, x86 and powerpc. x86_64 and x86 ulps updated
accordingly.

The ldbl-128 and ldbl-128ibm implementations of acosl have similar
bugs, using a threshold of 0x1p-57L to determine when they just return
pi/2. Since the result pi/2 - asinl (x) is roughly pi/2 - x for small
x, the relevant cut-off is actually x being < 0.5ulp of 1. This patch
fixes the implementations to use that cut-off and adds tests of small
acos arguments.
Tested for powerpc and mips64. Also tested for x86_64 and x86; no
ulps updates needed.

Similar to various other bugs in this area, some asin implementations
do not raise the underflow exception for subnormal arguments, when the
result is tiny and inexact. This patch forces the exception in a
similar way to previous fixes.

The ldbl-128ibm implementation of logbl produces incorrect results
when the high part of the argument is a power of 2 and the low part a
nonzero number with the opposite sign (and so the returned exponent
should be 1 less than that of the high part). For example, logbl
(0x1.ffffffffffffffp1L) returns 2 but should return 1. (This is
similar to (fixed) bug 16740 for frexpl, and (fixed) bug 18029 for
ilogbl.) This patch adds checks for that case.
Tested for powerpc.

If a locale alias is defined in locale.alias but not in an archive,
and the referenced locale is only present in the archive, setlocale
will fail if given the alias name. This is unintuitive. This patch
fixes it, arranging for the locale archive to be searched again after
alias expansion.

The ldbl-128ibm implementation of asinhl uses cut-offs of 0x1p28 and
0x1p-29 to determine when to use simpler formulas that avoid possible
overflow / underflow. Both those cut-offs are inappropriate for this
format, resulting in large errors. This patch changes the code to use
more appropriate cut-offs of 0x1p56 and 0x1p-56, adding tests around
the cut-offs for various floating-point formats.
Tested for powerpc. Also tested for x86_64 and x86 and updated ulps.

The ldbl-128ibm implementation of acoshl uses a cut-off of 0x1p28 to
determine when to use log(x) + log(2) as a formula. That cut-off is
too small for this format, resulting in large errors. This patch
changes it to a more appropriate cut-off of 0x1p56, adding tests
around the cut-offs for various floating-point formats.
Tested for powerpc. Also tested for x86_64 and x86 and updated ulps.

Various x86 / x86_64 versions of scalb / scalbf / scalbl produce
spurious "invalid" exceptions for (qNaN, -Inf) arguments, because this
is wrongly handled like (+/-Inf, -Inf) which *should* raise such an
exception. (In fact the NaN case of the code determining whether to
quietly return a zero or a NaN for second argument -Inf was
accidentally dead since the code had been made to return a NaN with
exception.) This patch fixes the code to do the proper test for an
infinity as distinct from a NaN.
(Since the existing code does nothing to distinguish qNaNs and sNaNs
here, this patch doesn't either. If in future we systematically
implement proper sNaN semantics following TS 18661-1:2014, there will
be lots of bugs to address - Thomas found lots of issues with his
patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2013-04/msg00008.html> to
add SNaN tests (which never went in and would now require significant
reworking).)
Tested for x86_64 and x86. Committed.
