The full representation of the alternative calendar year (%EY)
typically includes an internal use of "%Ey". As a GNU extension,
apply any flags on "%EY" (e.g. "%_EY", "%-EY") to the internal "%Ey",
allowing users of "%EY" to control how the year is padded.

* manual/time.texi (strftime): Document "%EC" and "%EY".
* time/Makefile (tests): Add tst-strftime2.
(LOCALES): Add ja_JP.UTF-8, lo_LA.UTF-8, and th_TH.UTF-8.
* time/strftime_l.c (__strftime_internal): Add argument yr_spec to
override padding for "%Ey".
If an optional flag ('_' or '-') is specified to "%EY", interpret the
"%Ey" in the subformat as if decorated with that flag.
* time/tst-strftime2.c: New file.
In Japanese locales, strftime's alternative year format (%Ey) produces
a year numbered within a time period called an _era_. A new era
typically begins when a new emperor is enthroned. The result of "%Ey"
is therefore usually a one- or two-digit number.
Many programs that display Japanese era dates assume that the era year
is two digits wide. To improve how these programs display dates
during the first nine years of a new era, change "%Ey" to pad one-
digit numbers on the left with a zero. This change applies to all
locales. It is expected to be harmless for other locales that use the
alternative year format (e.g. lo_LA and th_TH, in which "%Ey" produces
the year of the Buddhist calendar) as those calendars' year numbers
are already more than two digits wide, and this is not expected to
change.
This change needs to be in place before 2019-05-01 CE, as a new era is
scheduled to begin on that date.

On x32, the size_t parameter may be passed in the lower 32 bits of a
64-bit register with the non-zero upper 32 bits. The string/memory
functions written in assembly can only use the lower 32 bits of a

the full 64-bit register for length.

The only difference between noncompliant and C99-compliant scanf is
that the former accepts the archaic GNU extension '%as' (also %aS and
%a[...]) meaning to allocate space for the input string with malloc.
This extension conflicts with C99's use of %a as a format _type_
meaning to read a floating-point number; POSIX.1-2008 standardized
equivalent functionality using the modifier letter 'm' instead (%ms,
%mS, %m[...]).
The extension was already disabled in most conformance modes:
specifically, any mode that doesn't involve _GNU_SOURCE and _does_
involve either strict conformance to C99 or loose conformance to both
C99 and POSIX.1-2001 would get the C99-compliant scanf. With
compilers new enough to use -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu89, or
equivalent, that includes the default mode.
With this patch, we now provide C99-compliant scanf in all
configurations except when _GNU_SOURCE is defined *and*
__STDC_VERSION__ or __cplusplus (whichever is relevant) indicates
C89/C++98. This leaves the old scanf available under e.g. -std=c89
-D_GNU_SOURCE, but removes it from e.g. -std=gnu11 -D_GNU_SOURCE (it
was already not present under -std=gnu11 without -D_GNU_SOURCE) and
from -std=gnu89 without -D_GNU_SOURCE.
There needs to be an internal override so we can compile the
noncompliant scanf itself. This is the same problem we had when we
removed 'gets' from _GNU_SOURCE and it's dealt with the same way:
there's a new __GLIBC_USE symbol, DEPRECATED_SCANF, which defaults to
off under the appropriate conditions for external code, but can be
overridden by individual files within stdio.
We also run into problems with PLT bypass for internal uses of sscanf,
because libc_hidden_proto uses __REDIRECT and so does the logic in
stdio.h for choosing which implementation of scanf to use; __REDIRECT
isn't transitive, so include/stdio.h needs to bridge the gap with a
macro. As far as I can tell, sscanf is the only function in this
family that's internally called by unrelated code.
Finally, there are several tests in stdio-common that use the
extension. bug21.c is a regression test for a crash; it still
exercises the relevant code when changed to use %ms instead of %as.
scanf14.c through scanf17.c are more complicated since they are
actually testing the subtleties of the extension - under what
circumstances is 'a' treated as a modifier letter, etc. I changed all
of them to use %ms instead of %as as well, but duplicated scanf14.c
and scanf16.c as scanf14a.c and scanf16a.c. These still use %as and
are compiled with -std=gnu89 to access the old extension. A bunch of
diagnostic overrides and manual workarounds for the old stdio.h
behavior become unnecessary. Yay!

We know that building glibc with GCC 4.9 is broken on various
platforms (bug 23993). As it's more than a year since we last
increased the minimum GCC version to build glibc, this patch changes
the requirement to be GCC 5 or later (indeed, based on 4.9 having been
required for building 2.26, it would be consistent in terms of timing
to require GCC 6 or later from the 2.30 release onwards). It
deliberately just updates the configure test and corresponding
documentation, leaving removal of no-longer-needed __GNUC_PREREQ tests
for a separate patch.
In the NEWS entry, the requirement for a newer GCC version for
powerpc64le is reiterated (as in the entry for the 4.9 requirement in
2.26) to avoid suggesting the version requirement there has gone down.
(If that version goes up further as part of support for binary128 long
double, of course the wording would change at that time.)
Tested for x86_64.

Along with posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir,
posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir is the subject of a change proposal
for POSIX: <http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1208>
This patch uses posix_spawn on popen instead of fork and execl. On Linux
this has the advantage of much lower memory consumption (usually 32 Kb
minimum for the mmap stack area).
Two issues are also fixed with this change:
* BZ#17490: although POSIX pthread_atfork description only list 'fork'
as the function that should execute the atfork handlers, popen
description states that:
'[...] shall be *as if* a child process were created within the popen()
call using the fork() function [...]'
Other libc/system seems to follow the idea atfork handlers should not be
executed for popen:
libc/system | run atfork handles | notes
------------|----------------------|---------------------------------------
Freebsd | no | uses vfork
Solaris 11 | no |
MacOSX 11 | no | implemented through posix_spawn syscall
------------|----------------------|----------------------------------------
Similar to posix_spawn and system, popen idea is to spawn a different
binary so all the POSIX rationale to run the atfork handlers to avoid
internal process inconsistency is not really required and in some cases
might be unsafe.
* BZ#22834: the described scenario, where the forked process might access
invalid memory due an inconsistent state in multithreaded environment,
should not happen because posix_spawn does not access the affected
data structure (proc_file_chain).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

This patch makes Python 3.4 or later a required tool for building
glibc, so allowing changes of awk, perl etc. code used in the build

give an error if Python is missing or too old, and removes makefile

libm-err.texi as libm-err-tab.pl did. (gen-libm-test.py is still

Linux from 3.9 through 4.2 does not abort HTM transaction on syscalls,
instead it suspend and resume it when leaving the kernel. The
side-effects of the syscall will always remain visible, even if the
transaction is aborted. This is an issue when transaction is used along
with futex syscall, on pthread_cond_wait for instance, where the futex
call might succeed but the transaction is rolled back leading the
pthread_cond object in an inconsistent state.
Glibc used to prevent it by always aborting a transaction before issuing
a syscall. Linux 4.2 also decided to abort active transaction in
syscalls which makes the glibc workaround superfluous. Worse, glibc
transaction abortion leads to a performance issue on recent kernels
where the HTM state is saved/restore lazily (v4.9). By aborting a
transaction on every syscalls, regardless whether a transaction has being
initiated before, GLIBS makes the kernel always save/restore HTM state
(it can not even lazily disable it after a certain number of syscall
iterations).
Because of this shortcoming, Transactional Lock Elision is just enabled
when it has been explicitly set (either by tunables of by a configure
switch) and if kernel aborts HTM transactions on syscalls
(PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC). It is reported that using simple benchmark [1],
the context-switch is about 5% faster by not issuing a tabort in every
syscall in newer kernels.

The algorithm is exp(y * log(x)), where log(x) is computed with about
1.3*2^-68 relative error (1.5*2^-68 without fma), returning the result
in two doubles, and the exp part uses the same algorithm (and lookup
tables) as exp, but takes the input as two doubles and a sign (to handle
negative bases with odd integer exponent). The __exp1 internal symbol
is no longer necessary.
There is separate code path when fma is not available but the worst case
error is about 0.54 ULP in both cases. The lookup table and consts for
log are 4168 bytes. The .rodata+.text is decreased by 37908 bytes on
aarch64. The non-nearest rounding error is less than 1 ULP.

As discussed at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-09/msg00191.html> and
followup discussions, the MIPS n32 definitions of pr_sigpend and
pr_sighold in struct elf_prstatus, and pr_flag in struct elf_prpsinfo,
are wrong to use unsigned long long int; actual n32 core dumps use a
32-bit type there, so userspace unsigned long int is correct for all
MIPS ABIs. This patch removes the conditionals (also thereby aligning
the structures with other architectures and so facilitating future
unification of different versions of this header).
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for its MIPS configurations.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/sys/procfs.h (struct elf_prstatus):

(struct elf_prpsinfo): Likewise.
As noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-09/msg00178.html>, glibc's
sys/procfs.h headers for microblaze, mips (n64), nios2 and riscv have
incorrect types for the pr_uid and pr_gid members of struct
elf_prpsinfo (as does the generic Linux version, but nothing uses
that).
This patch fixes those headers to use unsigned int. The generic Linux
version is also fixed, but I do *not* recommend making new
architectures use it yet. Rather, I think it should be reworked to
look more like a copy of the AArch64 version, but with a new
<bits/procfs.h> header included to provide register set definitions;
<bits/procfs.h> would then be architecture-specific while many
architectures could use the generic <sys/procfs.h>. This fix is
deliberately separate from any reworking to use a generic header more,
since it's possible there could be uses for backporting this fix but
not for backporting a subsequent cleanup.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py. This of course doesn't provide much
validation of the structure layout; if the Linux kernel is fixed so
that "#include <linux/elfcore.h>" actually compiles with the headers
from "make headers_install" (and if the layout in both headers is
meant to be the same, whatever ABI we are building for), I have a test
that can be added to glibc to check the layout against that from the
Linux kernel.

Similar algorithm is used as in log: log2(2^k x) = k + log2(c) + log2(x/c)

There is separate code path when fma instruction is not available for

Optimized log using carefully generated lookup table with 1/c and log(c)
values for small intervalls around 1. The log(c) is very near a double
precision value, it has about 62 bits precision. The algorithm is
log(2^k x) = k log(2) + log(c) + log(x/c), where the last term is
approximated by a polynomial of x/c - 1. Near 1 a single polynomial of
x - 1 is used.
There is separate code path when fma instruction is not available for
computing x/c - 1 precisely, in which case the table size is doubled.
The code uses __builtin_fma under __FP_FAST_FMA to ensure it is inlined

Optimized exp and exp2 implementations using a lookup table for
fractional powers of 2. There are several variants, see e_exp_data.c,
they can be selected by modifying math_config.h allowing different
tradeoffs.
The default selection should be acceptable as generic libm code.
Worst case error is 0.509 ULP for exp and 0.507 ULP for exp2, on
aarch64 the rodata size is 2160 bytes, shared between exp and exp2.
On aarch64 .text + .rodata size decreased by 24912 bytes.
The non-nearest rounding error is less than 1 ULP even on targets
without efficient round implementation (although the error rate is
higher in that case). Targets with single instruction, rounding mode
independent, to nearest integer rounding and conversion can use them
by setting TOINT_INTRINSICS and adding the necessary code to their
math_private.h.
The __exp1 code uses the same algorithm, so the error bound of pow
increased a bit.
New double precision error handling code was added following the
style of the single precision error handling code.
Improvements on Cortex-A72 compared to current glibc master:
exp thruput: 1.61x in [-9.9 9.9]
exp latency: 1.53x in [-9.9 9.9]
exp thruput: 1.13x in [0.5 1]
exp latency: 1.30x in [0.5 1]
exp2 thruput: 2.03x in [-9.9 9.9]
exp2 latency: 1.64x in [-9.9 9.9]
For small (< 1) inputs the current exp code uses a separate algorithm
so the speed up there is less.
Was tested on
aarch64-linux-gnu (TOINT_INTRINSICS, fma contraction) and
arm-linux-gnueabihf (!TOINT_INTRINSICS, no fma contraction) and
x86_64-linux-gnu (!TOINT_INTRINSICS, no fma contraction) and
powerpc64le-linux-gnu (!TOINT_INTRINSICS, fma contraction) targets,
only non-nearest rounding ulp errors increase and they are within
acceptable bounds (ulp updates are in separate patches).

The glibc.tune namespace is vaguely named since it is a 'tunable', so
give it a more specific name that describes what it refers to. Rename

Define a new ABSOLUTE ABI for static linker's use with EI_ABIVERSION
where correct absolute (SHN_ABS) symbol run-time load semantics is
required. This way it can be ensured at static link time that a program
or DSO will not suffer from previous semantics where absolute symbols
were relocated by the base address, or symbols whose `st_value' is zero
silently ignored leading to a confusing "undefined symbol" error message
at load time, and instead "ELF file ABI version invalid" is printed with
old dynamic loaders, making it clear that there is an ABI version
incompatibility.

The implementation falls back to renameat if renameat2 is not available
in the kernel (or in the kernel headers) and the flags argument is zero.
Without kernel support, a non-zero argument returns EINVAL, not ENOSYS.
This mirrors what the kernel does for invalid renameat2 flags.
$(file …) appears to be the only convenient way to create files
with newlines and make substitution variables. This needs make 4.0

Some Linux distributions are experimenting with a new, separately
maintained and hopefully more agile implementation of the crypt
API. To facilitate this, add a configure option which disables
glibc's embedded libcrypt. When this option is given, libcrypt.*
and crypt.h will not be built nor installed.
The functions encrypt, setkey, encrypt_r, setkey_r, cbc_crypt,
ecb_crypt, and des_setparity should not be used in new programs,
because they use the DES block cipher, which is unacceptably weak by
modern standards. Demote all of them to compatibility symbols, and
remove their prototypes from installed headers. cbc_crypt, ecb_crypt,
and des_setparity were already compat symbols when glibc was
configured with --disable-obsolete-rpc.
POSIX requires encrypt and setkey to be available when _XOPEN_CRYPT
is defined, so this change also removes the definition of X_OPEN_CRYPT
from <unistd.h>.
The entire "DES Encryption" section is dropped from the manual, as is
the mention of AUTH_DES and FIPS 140-2 in the introduction to
crypt.texi. The documentation of 'memfrob' cross-referenced the DES
Encryption section, which is replaced by a hyperlink to libgcrypt, and
while I was in there I spruced up the actual documentation of
'memfrob' and 'strfry' a little. It's still fairly jokey, because
those functions _are_ jokes, but they do also have real use cases, so
people trying to use them for real should have all the information
they need.
DES-based authentication for Sun RPC is also insecure and should be
deprecated or even removed, but maybe that can be left as TI-RPC's
problem.
