Little-endian fixes for setjmp/longjmp. When writing these I noticed
the setjmp code corrupts the non volatile VMX registers when using an
unaligned buffer. Anton fixed this, and also simplified it quite a
bit.
The current code uses boilerplate for the case where we want to store
16 bytes to an unaligned address. For that we have to do a
read/modify/write of two aligned 16 byte quantities. In our case we
are storing a bunch of back to back data (consective VMX registers),
and only the start and end of the region need the read/modify/write.

These two functions oddly test x+1>0 when a double x is >= 0.0, and
similarly when x is negative. I don't see the point of that since the
test should always be true. I also don't see any need to convert x+1
to integer rather than simply using xr+1. Note that the standard
allows these functions to return any value when the input is outside
the range of long long, but it's not too hard to prevent xr+1
overflowing so that's what I've done.
(With rounding mode FE_UPWARD, x+1 can be a lot more than what you
might naively expect, but perhaps that situation was covered by the
x - xrf < 1.0 test.)

Another batch of ieee854 macros and union replacement. These four
files also have bugs fixed with this patch. The fact that the two
doubles in an IBM long double may have different signs means that
negation and absolute value operations can't just twiddle one sign bit
as you can with ieee864 style extended double. fmodl, remainderl,
erfl and erfcl all had errors of this type. erfl also returned +1 for
large magnitude negative input where it should return -1. The hypotl
error is innocuous since the value adjusted twice is only used as a
flag. The e_hypotl.c tests for large "a" and small "b" are mutually
exclusive because we've already exited when x/y > 2**120. That allows
some further small simplifications.

Further replacement of ieee854 macros and unions. These files also
have some optimisations for comparison against 0.0L, infinity and nan.
Since the ABI specifies that the high double of an IBM long double
pair is the value rounded to double, a high double of 0.0 means the
low double must also be 0.0. The ABI also says that infinity and
nan are encoded in the high double, with the low double unspecified.

I discovered a number of places where denormals and other corner cases
were being handled wrongly.
- printf_fphex.c: Testing for the low double exponent being zero is
unnecessary. If the difference in exponents is less than 53 then the
high double exponent must be nearing the low end of its range, and the
low double exponent hit rock bottom.
- ldbl2mpn.c: A denormal (ie. exponent of zero) value is treated as
if the exponent was one, so shift mantissa left by one. Code handling
normalisation of the low double mantissa lacked a test for shift count
greater than bits in type being shifted, and lacked anything to handle
the case where the difference in exponents is less than 53 as in
printf_fphex.c.
- math_ldbl.h (ldbl_extract_mantissa): Same as above, but worse, with
code testing for exponent > 1 for some reason, probably a typo for >= 1.
- math_ldbl.h (ldbl_insert_mantissa): Round the high double as per
mpn2ldbl.c (hi is odd or explicit mantissas non-zero) so that the
number we return won't change when applying ldbl_canonicalize().
Add missing overflow checks and normalisation of high mantissa.
Correct misleading comment: "The hidden bit of the lo mantissa is
zero" is not always true as can be seen from the code rounding the hi
mantissa. Also by inspection, lzcount can never be less than zero so
remove that test. Lastly, masking bitfields to their widths can be
left to the compiler.
- mpn2ldbl.c: The overflow checks here on rounding of high double were
just plain wrong. Incrementing the exponent must be accompanied by a
shift right of the mantissa to keep the value unchanged. Above notes
for ldbl_insert_mantissa are also relevant.

[BZ #15915] As described in the bug, the pattern rule for lib%.so files
in Makerules includes linkobj/libc.so as a dependency. However, the
explicit rule for linkobj/libc.so is in the top-level Makefile.
Thus, the subdirectory makefiles that include Makerules end up with an
erroneous makefile pattern rule for linkobj/libc.so that includes
itself as a dependency. The result is make warnings whenever rules
for other .so files are resolved -- and, on occasion, actual makefile
failures when a race condition causes the implicit rule to actually be
used.
This patch moves the explicit rules for linkobj/libc.so into Makerules
to clear up this problem. It also elaborates a couple of comments
that I'd initially found confusing.

Statically built binaries use __pointer_chk_guard_local,

we are building.
The pointer guard used for pointer mangling was not initialized for
static applications resulting in the security feature being disabled.
The pointer guard is now correctly initialized to a random value for
static applications. Existing static applications need to be
recompiled to take advantage of the fix.
The test tst-ptrguard1-static and tst-ptrguard1 add regression
coverage to ensure the pointer guards are sufficiently random

It has been a long practice for software using IEEE 754 floating-point
arithmetic run on MIPS processors to use an encoding of Not-a-Number
(NaN) data different to one used by software run on other processors.
And as of IEEE 754-2008 revision [1] this encoding does not follow one
recommended in the standard, as specified in section 6.2.1, where it
is stated that quiet NaNs should have the first bit (d1) of their
significand set to 1 while signalling NaNs should have that bit set to
0, but MIPS software interprets the two bits in the opposite manner.
As from revision 3.50 [2][3] the MIPS Architecture provides for
processors that support the IEEE 754-2008 preferred NaN encoding format.
As the two formats (further referred to as "legacy NaN" and "2008 NaN")
are incompatible to each other, tools have to provide support for the
two formats to help people avoid using incompatible binary modules.
The change is comprised of two functional groups of features, both of
which are required for correct support.
1. Dynamic linker support.
To enforce the NaN encoding requirement in dynamic linking a new ELF
file header flag has been defined. This flag is set for 2008-NaN
shared modules and executables and clear for legacy-NaN ones. The
dynamic linker silently ignores any incompatible modules it
encounters in dependency processing.
To avoid unnecessary processing of incompatible modules in the
presence of a shared module cache, a set of new cache flags has been
defined to mark 2008-NaN modules for the three ABIs supported.
Changes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/readelflib.c have been made
following an earlier code quality suggestion made here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2009-03/msg00036.html
and are therefore a little bit more extensive than the minimum
required.
Finally a new name has been defined for the dynamic linker so that
2008-NaN and legacy-NaN binaries can coexist on a single system that
supports dual-mode operation and that a legacy dynamic linker that
does not support verifying the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag is not
chosen to interpret a 2008-NaN binary by accident.
2. Floating environment support.
IEEE 754-2008 features are controlled in the Floating-Point Control
and Status (FCSR) register and updates are needed to floating
environment support so that the 2008-NaN flag is set correctly and
the kernel default, inferred from the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag
at the time an executable is loaded, respected.
As the NaN encoding format is a property of GCC code generation that is
both a user-selected GCC configuration default and can be overridden
with GCC options, code that needs to know what NaN encoding standard it
has been configured for checks for the __mips_nan2008 macro that is
defined internally by GCC whenever the 2008-NaN mode has been selected.
This mode is determined at the glibc configuration time and therefore a
few consistency checks have been added to catch cases where compilation
flags have been overridden by the user.
The 2008 NaN set of features relies on kernel support as the in-kernel
floating-point emulator needs to be aware of the NaN encoding used even
on hard-float processors and configure the FPU context according to the
value of the 2008 NaN ELF file header flag of the executable being
started. As at this time work on kernel support is still in progress
and the relevant changes have not made their way yet to linux.org master
repository.
Therefore the minimum version supported has been artificially set to
10.0.0 so that 2008-NaN code is not accidentally run on a Linux kernel
that does not suppport it. It is anticipated that the version is
adjusted later on to the actual initial linux.org kernel version to
support this feature. Legacy NaN encoding support is unaffected, older
kernel versions remain supported.

Long ago static startup did not parse the auxiliary vector and therefore
could not get at any `AT_FPUCW' tag to check whether upon FPU context
allocation the kernel would use a FPU control word setting different to
that provided by the `__fpu_control' variable. Static startup therefore
always initialized the FPU control word, forcing immediate FPU context
allocation even for binaries that otherwise never used the FPU.
As from GIT commit f8f900ecb9 static
startup supports parsing the auxiliary vector, so now it can avoid
explicit initialization of the FPU control word, just as can dynamic
startup, in the usual case where the setting written to the FPU control
word would be the same as the kernel uses. This defers FPU context
allocation until the binary itself actually pokes at the FPU.
Note that the `AT_FPUCW' tag is usually absent from the auxiliary vector
in which case _FPU_DEFAULT is assumed to be the kernel default.

This change synchronizes the glibc headers with the Linux kernel
headers and arranges to coordinate the definition of structures
already defined the Linux kernel UAPI headers.
It is now safe to include glibc's netinet/in.h or Linux's linux/in6.h
in any order in a userspace application and you will get the same
ABI. The ABI is guaranteed by UAPI and glibc.
Since fanotify_init requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN in order to work (which usually
means running as root), we need to handle that error case too.

LDFLAGS puts the library too early in the command line if --as-needed
is being used. Use LDLIBS instead.

* benchtests/Makefile: Use LDLIBS instead of LDFLAGS.
Another example of all the 64bit arches getting the definition via a
common file, but the 32bit ones all adding it by themselves and hppa
was missed.
I'm not entirely sure about the usage of GLIBC_2.19 symbols here.
We'd like to backport this so people can use it, but it means we'd
be releasing a glibc-2.17/glibc-2.18 with a GLIBC_2.19 symbol in it.
But maybe it won't be a big deal since you'd only get that 2.19 ref
if you actually used the symbol ?
There hasn't been a glibc release where hppa worked w/out a bunch of
patches, so in reality there's only two distros that matter -- Gentoo
and Debian.

These have helped me find and fix type conversion issues in QEMU's MIPS
hardware emulation. While certainly glibc is not the best place for such
tests, they're just an enhancement of tests already present.
Since the dlopen funcs might invoke a constructor that calls a func
that is in the same compilation unit as the caller, we cannot mark
them as leaf funcs.
Similarly, dlclose might invoke a destructor that calls a func that
is in the same compilation unit as the caller.

This patch fixes backtrace for PPC32 and PPC64 to correctly handle
signal trampolines. The 'debug/tst-backtrace6.c' also check for
SA_SIGINFO handling, where is triggers another vDSO symbols for PPC32.
This patch fixes dlfcn/tststatic5 for PowerPC where pagesize
variable was not properly initialized in certain cases. This patch
is based on other architecture code.
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.
The generated header is compiled with `-ffreestanding' to avoid any
circular dependencies against the installed implementation headers.
Such a dependency would require the implementation header to be
installed before the generated header could be built (See bug 15711).
In current practice the generated header dependencies do not include
any of the implementation headers removed by the use of `-ffreestanding'.

[BZ #15711]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile ($(objpfx)bits/syscall%h):
Avoid system header dependency with -ffreestanding.
($(objpfx)bits/syscall%d): Likewise.
This change creates a link map in static executables to serve as the
global search list for dlopen. It fixes a problem with the inability
to access the global symbol object and a crash on an attempt to map a
DSO into the global scope. Some code that has become dead after the
addition of this link map is removed too and test cases are provided.
