When converting a struct hostent response to struct gaih_addrtuple, the
gethosts macro (which is called from gaih_inet) used alloca, without
malloc fallback for large responses. This commit changes this code to
use calloc unconditionally.
This commit also consolidated a second hostent-to-gaih_addrtuple
conversion loop (in gaih_inet) to use the new conversion function.
The overloading approach in the W* macros was incompatible with
integer expressions of a type different from int. Applications
using union wait and these macros will have to migrate to the
POSIX-specified int status type.
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00885.html> I
proposed a minimum Linux kernel version of 3.2 for glibc 2.24, since
Linux 2.6.32 has reached EOL.
In the discussion in February, some concerns were expressed about
compatibility with OpenVZ containers. It's not clear that these are
real issues, given OpenVZ backporting kernel features and faking the
kernel version for guest software, as discussed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00278.html>. It's
also not clear that supporting running GNU/Linux distributions from
late 2016 (at the earliest) on a kernel series from 2009 is a sensible
expectation. However, as an interim step, this patch increases the
requirement everywhere except x86 / x86_64 (since the controversy was
only about those architectures); the special caveats and settings can
easily be removed later when we're ready to increase the requirements
on x86 / x86_64 (and if someone would like to raise the issue on LWN
as suggested in the previous discussion, that would be welcome). 3.2
kernel headers are required everywhere by this patch.
(x32 already requires 3.4 or later, so is unaffected by this patch.)
As usual for such a change, this patch only changes the configure
scripts and associated documentation. The intent is to follow up with
removal of dead __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION conditionals. Each __ASSUME_*
or other macro that becomes dead can then be removed independently.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.

* A stack-based buffer overflow was found in libresolv when invoked from
libnss_dns, allowing specially crafted DNS responses to seize control
of execution flow in the DNS client. The buffer overflow occurs in
the functions send_dg (send datagram) and send_vc (send TCP) for the
NSS module libnss_dns.so.2 when calling getaddrinfo with AF_UNSPEC
family. The use of AF_UNSPEC triggers the low-level resolver code to
send out two parallel queries for A and AAAA. A mismanagement of the
buffers used for those queries could result in the response of a query
writing beyond the alloca allocated buffer created by
_nss_dns_gethostbyname4_r. Buffer management is simplified to remove
the overflow. Thanks to the Google Security Team and Red Hat for
reporting the security impact of this issue, and Robert Holiday of
Ciena for reporting the related bug 18665. (CVE-2015-7547)

Various Linux kernel syscalls have become obsolete over time.
Specifically, the following are obsolete in all kernel versions
supported by glibc, are not present for architectures more recently
added to the kernel, and as such, the wrapper functions for them
should be compat symbols, not in static libc and not available for new
links with shared libc.
* bdflush: in Linux 2.6, does nothing if present.
* create_module get_kernel_syms query_module: Linux 2.4 module
interface, syscalls not present in Linux 2.6.
* uselib: part of the mechanism for loading a.out shared libraries,
irrelevant with ELF.
This patch adds support for syscalls.list to list syscall aliases of
the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED, with SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals being
generated for such aliases. Those five syscalls are then made into
compat symbols (obsoleted in glibc 2.23, so future ports won't have
these symbols at all), with the header <sys/kdaemon.h> declaring
bdflush being removed. When we move to 3.2 as minimum kernel version,
the same can be done for nfsservctl (removed in Linux 3.1) as well.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, as well as checking that the
symbols in question indeed become compat symbols, that they are indeed
omitted from static libc, and that the generated SHLIB_COMPAT
conditionals look right).

Update __STDC_ISO_10646__ to 201505L for Unicode 8.0.0.
Update character encoding, ctype, and transliteration tables.
New scripts autogenerate transliteration tables.
The nan, nanf and nanl functions handle payload strings by doing e.g.:
if (tagp[0] != '\0')
{
char buf[6 + strlen (tagp)];
sprintf (buf, "NAN(%s)", tagp);
return strtod (buf, NULL);
}
This is an unbounded stack allocation based on the length of the
argument. Furthermore, if the argument starts with an n-char-sequence
followed by ')', that n-char-sequence is wrongly treated as
significant for determining the payload of the resulting NaN, when ISO
C says the call should be equivalent to strtod ("NAN", NULL), without
being affected by that initial n-char-sequence. This patch fixes both
those problems by using the __strtod_nan etc. functions recently
factored out of strtod etc. for that purpose, with those functions
being exported from libc at version GLIBC_PRIVATE.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc.

With current kernel versions, the check does not reliably detect that
unavailable CPUs are requested, for these reasons:
(1) The kernel will silently ignore non-allowed CPUs, that is, CPUs
which are physically present but disallowed for the thread
based on system configuration.
(2) Similarly, CPU bits which lack an online CPU (possible CPUs)
are ignored.
(3) The existing probing code assumes that the CPU mask size is a
power of two and at least 1024. Neither has it to be a power
of two, nor is the minimum possible value 1024, so the value
determined is often too large. This means that the CPU set
size check in glibc accepts CPU bits beyond the actual hard
system limit.
(4) Future kernel versions may not even have a fixed CPU set size.
After the removal of the probing code, the kernel still returns
EINVAL if no CPU in the requested set remains which can run the
thread after the affinity change.
Applications which care about the exact affinity mask will have
to query it using sched_getaffinity after setting it. Due to the
effects described above, this commit does not change this.
The new tests supersede tst-getcpu, which is removed. This
addresses bug 19164 because the new tests allocate CPU sets
dynamically.

The lgamma (and likewise lgammaf, lgammal) function wrongly sets the
signgam variable even when building for strict ISO C conformance
(-std=c99 / -std=c11), although the user may define such a variable
and it's only in the implementation namespace for POSIX with XSI
extensions enabled.
Following discussions starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-04/msg00767.html> and
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00844.html>, it seems
that the safest approach for fixing this particular issue is for
signgam to become a weak alias for a newly exported symbol __signgam,
with the library functions only setting __signgam, at which point
static linker magic will preserve the alias for newly linked binaries
that refer to the library's signgam rather than defining their own,
while breaking the alias for programs that define their own signgam,
with new symbol versions for lgamma functions and with compat symbols
for existing binaries that set both signgam and __signgam.
This patch implements that approach for the fix. signgam is made into
a weak alias. The four symbols __signgam, lgamma, lgammaf, lgammal
get new symbol versions at version GLIBC_2.23, with the existing
versions of lgamma, lgammaf and lgammal becoming compat symbols.
When the compat versions are built, gamma, gammaf and gammal are
aliases for the compat versions (i.e. always set signgam); this is OK
as they are not ISO C functions, and avoids adding new symbol versions
for them unnecessarily. When the compat versions are not built
(i.e. for static linking and for future glibc ports), gamma, gammaf
and gammal are aliases for the new versions that set __signgam. The
ldbl-opt versions are updated accordingly.
The lgamma wrappers are adjusted so that the same source files,
included from different files with different definitions of
USE_AS_COMPAT, can build either the new versions or the compat
versions. Similar changes are made to the ia64 versions (untested).
Tests are added that the lgamma functions do not interfere with a user
variable called signgam for ISO C, with various choices for the size
of that variable, whether it is initialized, and for static and
dynamic linking. The conformtest whitelist entry is removed as well.
Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 and powerpc, including looking at
objdump --dynamic-syms output to make sure the expected sets of
symbols were aliases. Also spot-tested that a binary built with old
glibc works properly (i.e. gets signgam set) when run with new glibc.

The recvmsg system calls for netlink sockets have been particularly
prone to picking up unrelated data after a file descriptor race
(where the descriptor is closed and reopened concurrently in a
multi-threaded process, as the result of a file descriptor
management issue elsewhere). This commit adds additional error
checking and aborts the process if a datagram of unexpected length
(without the netlink header) is received, or an error code which
cannot happen due to the way the netlink socket is used.

For the -ffinite-math-only versions of various x86_64 and x86 log*

The lgamma inline functions in bits/math-finite.h do not set signgam
if __USE_ISOC99, even when other feature test macros mean a standard
such as XSI POSIX is selected for which it should be set. (This is
essentially the opposite issue to bug 15421, the out-of-line versions
setting signgam even when they shouldn't.)
This patch fixes those functions to use __USE_MISC || __USE_XOPEN as
the condition for when to set signgam, since it's the condition for
when math.h declares signgam. The legacy gamma* names are only
declared at all if __USE_MISC || __USE_XOPEN, so they just set signgam
unconditionally.
Tests for certain standards or not using _GNU_SOURCE cannot use
test-skeleton.c (this is a known issue noted on the wiki todo list).
Thus, the new tests that signgam remains not set in ISO C modes do not
use test-skeleton.c. They also define _ISOMAC to avoid running into
declarations in the internal include/ headers that only work in
_GNU_SOURCE mode.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.

not scalbn, and (b) in any case useless, since the ldexp and scalbn
functions have identical semantics (for floating-point types with
radix 2), and since the fix for bug 6803 are actually aliases
(presumably the mapping was based around the old bug of scalbn not
setting errno). This patch removes the bogus redirections.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.
[BZ #19209]
* math/bits/math-finite.h (ldexp): Remove declaration.
(ldexpf): Likewise.
(ldexpl): Likewise.
bits/math-finite.h declares -ffinite-math-only variants of various
functions under conditions not matching those under which the normal
versions are declared.
* math.h only ever includes bits/mathcalls.h to declare float and long
double functions if __USE_ISOC99, but bits/math-finite.h declares
some float functions regardless (long double ones are conditioned on
__MATH_DECLARE_LDOUBLE). (For C90 functions this isn't a
conformance bug because C90 reserves the float and long double
names, but is still contrary to good glibc practice. For some other
functions in older XSI standards it *is* a conformance bug.)
* Some functions are defined as inlines using lgamma_r functions under
conditions where those lgamma_r functions are not themselves
declared.
* hypot is declared under __USE_XOPEN || __USE_ISOC99 in
bits/mathcalls.h, __USE_ISOC99 only in bits/math-finite.h.
* float and long double versions of Bessel functions should be limited
to __USE_MISC (as in bug 18977).
* gamma should not be declared for __USE_XOPEN2K (as in bug 18967).
* remainder should be restricted to __USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED ||
__USE_ISOC99, not unconditional.
* scalb should not be declared for __USE_XOPEN2K8, and scalbf and
scalbl are non-POSIX (as in bug 18967).
This patch fixes all these issues (it doesn't seem worth splitting
them into separate patches or bugs). I put __USE_ISOC99 conditionals,
where needed, around both float and long double declarations, even
though formally redundant around the long double declarations because
__MATH_DECLARE_LDOUBLE isn't defined without __USE_ISOC99; it seemed
clearer that way. The missing declarations of lgamma_r functions are
dealt with by directly using declarations of __lgamma*_r_finite, in
the implementation namespace, rather than having the inlines rely on
asm redirection of lgamma*_r.
After this patch, there are some apparently redundant nested
__USE_ISOC99 conditionals in lgamma / gamma definitions. These
actually reflect a separate bug (the correct condition for the lgamma
inline functions to set signgam is __USE_MISC || __USE_XOPEN, the
condition under which signgam is declared, rather than disabling
setting it if __USE_ISOC99, which includes XSI POSIX versions for
which signgam *should* be set). They'll be fixed as part of a fix for
that bug, which will also add tests for these inlines. I've put a
note about more general conform/ test coverage for -ffinite-math-only
on
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Development_Todo/Master#conformtest_improvements>,
alongside other options for which this is also relevant (some of which
have also had such bugs in the past relating to mismatched
conditionals).
I also intend to enable the main libm-test.inc tests for the
math-finite.h functions, but some other bugs in __*_finite need fixing
first.

For some large arguments, the dbl-64 implementation of remainder gives
zero results with the wrong sign, resulting from a subtraction that is
mathematically correct but does not guarantee that a zero result has
the sign of the first argument to remainder. This patch adds an
appropriate check for this case, similar to other implementations of
remainder in the case of equality, and adds tests of remainder on
inputs already used to test remquo.

The ldbl-128 version of log1pl raises a spurious "invalid" exception
for a -qNaN argument. This patch fixes this by making the initial
check for infinities and NaNs handle arguments of both signs in such a
way that NaNs result in a NaN being returned (quietly if the input NaN
was quiet) while +Inf results in +Inf being returned and -Inf results
in a qNaN being returned with "invalid" exception raised.

fenv_t should include architecture-specific floating-point modes and
status flags. i386 and x86_64 fesetenv limit which bits they use from
the x87 status and control words, when using saved state, and limit
which parts of the state they set to fixed values, when using
FE_DFL_ENV / FE_NOMASK_ENV. The following should be included but are
excluded in at least some cases: status and masking for the "denormal
operand" exception (which isn't part of FE_ALL_EXCEPT); precision
control (explicitly mentioned in Annex F as something that counts as
part of the floating-point environment); MXCSR FZ and DAZ bits (for
FE_DFL_ENV and FE_NOMASK_ENV). This patch arranges for this extra
state to be handled by fesetenv (and thereby by feupdateenv, which
calls fesetenv).
(Note that glibc functions using floating point are not generally
expected to work correctly with non-default values of this state,
especially precision control, but it is still logically part of the
floating-point environment and should be handled as such by fesetenv.
Changes to the state relating to subnormals ought generally to work
with libm functions when the arguments aren't subnormal and neither
are the expected results; that's a consequence of functions avoiding
spurious internal underflows.)
A question arising from this is whether FE_NOMASK_ENV should or should
not mask the "denormal operand" exception. I decided it should mask
that exception. This is the status quo - previously that exception
could only be unmasked by direct manipulation of control registers
(possibly via <fpu_control.h>). In addition, it means that use of
FE_NOMASK_ENV leaves a floating-point environment the same as could be
obtained by fesetenv (FE_DFL_ENV); feenableexcept (FE_ALL_EXCEPT);,
rather than an environment in which an exception is unmasked that
could only be masked again by using fesetenv with FE_DFL_ENV (or a
previously saved environment) - this exception not being usable with
other <fenv.h> functions because it's outside FE_ALL_EXCEPT.

This patch implements a requirement of GCC 4.7 or later to build
glibc.
This was discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-08/msg00851.html>.
Concerns were expressed by Mike and David. At
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00453.html> I have
provided a 14-patch series showing in outline the cleanups facilitated
by this version requirement, as requested by Mike (this patch is the
first in that series, with the addition of a NEWS entry). Given the
absence of further concerns or alternative proposals for criteria for
updates to this version requirement as requested in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00065.html>, I am
interpreting this as "absence of sustained opposition" under Carlos's
definition at <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Consensus> and
proposing this patch for inclusion in glibc. I'd like to remind
people testing with 4.6 that if they move to testing with GCC 5 then
it will probably be about four years before they need to update the
compiler they use to test glibc again.
Although on the principles of time-based updates I think a move to
requiring binutils 2.23 would be reasonable, I'm not currently aware
of any cleanups that would facilitate so am not proposing that at this
time (but would expect to propose a move to requiring binutils 2.24 in
a year's time, as that brings features such as AVX512 support that
should allow some conditionals to be cleaned up). If someone thinks a
move to requiring 2.23 would help clean things up for their
architecture, please speak up. (And in general, I suspect there are
lots of architecture-specific configure tests that could be removed on
the basis of current GCC and binutils version requirements, given how
I've found architecture-independent tests obsolete on the basis of
version requirements going back 20 years.)

The implementations of nearbyint functions using x87 floating point
(i386 all versions, x86_64 long double only) use the fclex
instruction, which clears any exceptions that were raised before the
function was called. These functions must not clear exceptions that
were raised before they were called.
This patch fixes these functions to save and restore the whole
floating-point environment (fnstenv / fldenv) as the way of avoiding
raising "inexact" (recall that there isn't an x87 instruction for
loading just the status word, so the whole environment has to be saved
and loaded instead - the code already saved and loaded the control
word, which is now obtained from the saved environment after this
patch, to disable traps on "inexact"). In the case of the long double
functions, any "invalid" exception from frndint (applied to a
signaling NaN) needs merging into the saved state; this issue doesn't
apply to the float and double functions because that exception would
have been raised when the argument is loaded, before the environment
is saved.

Wilco fixed this tilegx bug in commit fe8c2b33ae ("Since we

The previous code used to evaluate the preprocessor token is_lock_free to
a variable before starting a transaction. This behavior can cause an
error if another thread got the lock (without using a transaction)
between the evaluation of the token and the beginning of the transaction.
This bug can be triggered with the following order of events:
1. The lock accessed by is_lock_free is free.
2. Thread T1 evaluates is_lock_free and stores into register R1 that the
lock is free.
3. Thread T2 acquires the same lock used in is_lock_free.
4. T1 begins the transaction, creating a memory barrier where is_lock_free
is false, but R1 is true.
5. T1 reads R1 and doesn't abort the transaction.
6. T1 calls ELIDE_UNLOCK, which reads false from is_lock_free and decides
to unlock a lock acquired by T2, leading to undefined behavior.
This patch delays the evaluation of is_lock_free to inside a transaction
by moving this part of the code to the macro ELIDE_LOCK.

The previous (11th) version of the Hungarian spelling rules (released
in 1984) said that the separator had to be a dot, e.g. 10.35 meaning
10 o'clock 35 minutes. glibc correctly implements this.
The brand new (12th) version, in effect since September 1, 2015 adopts
to the common use of colon (especially in the digital world) and
allows to use either separator, without even expressing a preference.
For computer systems, using colons is way more typical and probably
easier to recognize. Dot is typically used in printed materials.
It also avoids an almost ambiguous situation where a space makes a
difference, e.g. "10.15-ig" means "until 10 o'clock 15 minutes"
whereas "10. 15-ig" means "until 15th of October". So I believe using
the colon as the separator is not only more frequent in the computer
world, but is also easier and quicker to recognize for the brain that
it's about hour:minute rather than month and day. And luckily it's now
equally correct according to the official rules.
11th edition: http://helyesiras.mta.hu/helyesiras/default/akh11
12th edition: http://helyesiras.mta.hu/helyesiras/default/akh12
In both editions it's the very last (299th and 300th, respectively) rule.
Microsoft also uses and recommends a colon since at least May 2011:

The time format is different in common language and in the language of
IT. In common texts we usually do not abbreviate, so the full forms are
used: “7 óra 10 perckor csörgött a telefon”. However, the short format,
consisting of numerals only, can also be used. In this case a period
must be used between the two numbers and there must not be a space
between them: “találkozzunk 10.45-kor”.
However, in software mostly the short format is used, and the numbers
are separated by a colon. An obvious example is the clock in the bottom
right corner of your screen, thus 18:31.

Although there is no test for epoll_pwait in glibc, since SYSCALL_CANCEL
works on i386 and epoll_pwait.c works for other architectures, it is
safe to assume that epoll_pwait.c with SYSCALL_CANCEL also works on
i386.
[BZ #19137]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/Makefile (CFLAGS-epoll_pwait.c):
Add -fomit-frame-pointer.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/epoll_pwait.S: Remove file.
Honoring the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable in AT_SECURE mode
has security implications. This commit enables pointer guard
unconditionally, and the environment variable is now ignored.
[BZ #18928]
* sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h (struct rtld_global_ro): Remove
_dl_pointer_guard member.
* elf/rtld.c (_rtld_global_ro): Remove _dl_pointer_guard
initializer.
(security_init): Always set up pointer guard.
(process_envvars): Do not process LD_POINTER_GUARD.
