ChangeLog:
2013-12-16 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/memory.texi (Malloc Examples): Mention aligned_alloc.
(Aligned Memory Blocks): Add documentation for aligned_alloc
and suggest it as an alternative to posix_memalign.
(Hooks for Malloc): Document __memalign_hook is also called
for aligned_alloc. (Summary of Malloc): Add summary for
aligned alloc. Document __memalign_hook is also called
for aligned_alloc.
The current documentation suggests using memalign and valloc which
are now considered obsolete, so suggest using posix_memalign instead.
Also document the possible error return and errno values for memalign
and posix_memalign and improve documentation of __memalign_hook.
ChangeLog:
2013-12-16 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/memory.texi (Malloc Examples): Clarify default
alignment documentation. Suggest posix_memalign rather
than memalign or valloc.
(Aligned Memory Blocks): Remove suggestion to use memalign
or valloc. Remove obsolete comment about BSD.
Document memalign errno values and mark the function obsolete.
Document posix_memalign returned error codes. Mark valloc
as obsolete. (Hooks for Malloc): __memalign_hook is also
called for posix_memalign and valloc.
(Summary of Malloc): Add posix_memalign to function summary.
__memalign_hook is also called for posix_memalign and valloc.
The register keyword doesn't add any information to the examples
and is not useful for modern compilers.

The Secure RPC implementation in glibc uses DES encryption
during authentication of the user. This use of DES means
that anyone using Sun RPC will likely not be compliant
with FIPS 140-2 which forbids the use of DES.
One solution to the compliance issue is to disable AUTH_DES
and AUTH_KERB, both use DES, when in FIPS compliance mode.
This is not a good idea because it disables all of the even
mildly secure methods of authentication allowing only plain
text methods.
Instead we leave AUTH_DES and AUTH_KERB enabled in FIPS
compliance mode and document the compliance issue in the
manual. FIPS allows this, that is to say that if you can't
fix it you must document the non-compliance.
This commit adds documentation to that effect in the
"DES encryption and password handling" section of the
manual.
Add systemtap probes to various slow paths in libm so that application
developers may use systemtap to find out if their applications are
hitting these slow paths. We have added probes for pow, exp, log,
tan, atan and atan2.

Split the final note as it is unrelated to the above comment and

The pt-chown binary is discussed in the "Running make install" section
without clarification of the needed configure option. Clarify this
and simplfy the discription which is already covered in the "Configuring
and compiling" section.
The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another
user's pseudo-terminal.
Pre-conditions for the attack:
* Attacker with local user account
* Kernel with FUSE support
* "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf
* Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts
Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file
descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and
trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current
user does not own. It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however.
In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts
is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building
and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option
to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own
risk.
It is the magnitude of the return value which lies

Surround the "Detailed Node Listing" section of the info page menu with

Putting @cartouche inside of @smallexample does not work with HTML output
as the former produces a <table> while the latter produces a <pre>. You
cannot nest a <table> in a <pre> as the contents are no longer formatted.
Since it's entirely unnecessary, and none of the other examples do this,
just drop the cartouche.

[BZ #13743]
A new class of installed headers has been documented for low-level
platform-specific functionality. PowerPC added the first instance with a
function to provide time base register access (__ppc_get_timebase). This
is required for applications that measure time at high frequencies with
high precision that can't afford a syscall.

standards, In most cases the simplest fix is to remove the
confusing comments. Cross-referencing all the standards properly
is a bit of a pain, and it should be enough to put that info in

* manual/time.texi (Formatting Calendar Time):

The RFC 822 example is not valid in arbitrary locales.
Reword the POSIX.2 wording slightly, to make it a bit clearer
that POSIX.2 formats are also supported by later POSIX versions.
If a format was introduced in ISO C99 it is also required by
POSIX.1-2001.
