* Make sure INSTALL is ASCII plaintext againMark Wielaard2024-04-301-247/+247
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 84e93afc7 ("Switch to UTF-8 for INSTALL") and reinstates commit c14f2e4aa ("Make sure INSTALL is ASCII plaintext") and regenerates INSTALL. It turns out that different versions of makeinfo (texinfo/texi2any), at least versions 7.0.3 and 7.1, put unicode quote glyphs in different places (specifically whether contractions like you'd, don't, aren't or you'll use ’ or '). This breaks the make dist target as used for (snapshot) releases, which have a check on the regenerated INSTALL file. Using --disable-encoding generates the same plaintext ASCII on all versions. An alternative would be to regenerate INSTALL with texinfo 7.1 and require at least that version. But that seems too soon while various distros don't have 7.1 yet. We can try again to use UTF-8 for INSTALL in a couple of years. Reviewed-by: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>

* Remove ia64-linux-gnuAdhemerval Zanella2024-01-081-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux 6.7 removed ia64 from the official tree [1], following the general principle that a glibc port needs upstream support for the architecture in all the components it depends on (binutils, GCC, and the Linux kernel). Apart from the removal of sysdeps/ia64 and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64, there are updates to various comments referencing ia64 for which removal of those references seemed appropriate. The configuration is removed from README and build-many-glibcs.py. The CONTRIBUTED-BY, elf/elf.h, manual/contrib.texi (the porting mention), *.po files, config.guess, and longlong.h are not changed. For Linux it allows cleanup some clone2 support on multiple files. The following bug can be closed as WONTFIX: BZ 22634 [2], BZ 14250 [3], BZ 21634 [4], BZ 10163 [5], BZ 16401 [6], and BZ 11585 [7].

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add --enable-fortify-source option. It is now possible to enable fortification through a configure option. The level may be given as parameter, if none is provided, the configure script will determine what is the highest level possible that can be set considering GCC built-ins availability and set it. If level is explicitly set to 3, configure checks if the compiler supports the built-in function necessary for it or raise an error if it isn't. If the configure option isn't explicitly enabled, it _FORTIFY_SOURCE is forcibly undefined (and therefore disabled). The result of the configure checks are new variables, ${fortify_source} and ${no_fortify_source} that can be used to appropriately populate CFLAGS. A dedicated patch will follow to make use of this variable in Makefiles when necessary. Updated NEWS and INSTALL. Adding dedicated x86_64 variant that enables the configuration.

* Enable libmvec support for AArch64Joe Ramsay2023-05-031-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables libmvec on AArch64. The proposed change is mainly implementing build infrastructure to add the new routines to ABI, tests and benchmarks. I have demonstrated how this all fits together by adding implementations for vector cos, in both single and double precision, targeting both Advanced SIMD and SVE. The implementations of the routines themselves are just loops over the scalar routine from libm for now, as we are more concerned with getting the plumbing right at this point. We plan to contribute vector routines from the Arm Optimized Routines repo that are compliant with requirements described in the libmvec wiki. Building libmvec requires minimum GCC 10 for SVE ACLE. To avoid raising the minimum GCC by such a big jump, we allow users to disable libmvec if their compiler is too old. Note that at this point users have to manually call the vector math functions. This seems to be acceptable to some downstream users. Reviewed-by: Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy@arm.com>

* Revert "Detect ld.so and libc.so version inconsistency during startup"Florian Weimer2022-08-251-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 6f85dbf102ad7982409ba0fe96886caeb6389fef. Once this change hits the release branches, it will require relinking of all statically linked applications before static dlopen works again, for the majority of updates on release branches: The NEWS file is regularly updated with bug references, so the __libc_early_init suffix changes, and static dlopen cannot find the function anymore. While this ABI check is still technically correct (we do require rebuilding & relinking after glibc updates to keep static dlopen working), it is too drastic for stable release branches.

* Detect ld.so and libc.so version inconsistency during startupFlorian Weimer2022-08-241-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The files NEWS, include/link.h, and sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h contribute to the version fingerprint used for detection. The fingerprint can be further refined using the --with-extra-version-id configure argument. _dl_call_libc_early_init is replaced with _dl_lookup_libc_early_init. The new function is used store a pointer to libc.so's __libc_early_init function in the libc_map_early_init member of the ld.so namespace structure. This function pointer can then be called directly, so the separate invocation function is no longer needed. The versioned symbol lookup needs the symbol versioning data structures, so the initialization of libc_map and libc_map_early_init is now done from _dl_check_map_versions, after this information becomes available. (_dl_map_object_from_fd does not set this up in time, so the initialization code had to be moved from there.) This means that the separate initialization code can be removed from dl_main because _dl_check_map_versions covers all maps, including the initial executable loaded by the kernel. The lookup still happens before relocation and the invocation of IFUNC resolvers, so IFUNC resolvers are protected from ABI mismatch. The __libc_early_init function pointer is not protected because so little code runs between the pointer write and the invocation (only dynamic linker code and IFUNC resolvers).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it. Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent building programs as PIE. Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default because they do not work at the moment. hppa, ia64, alpha and csky don't work because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation generated from PIE objects. The microblaze compiler is currently failing with an ICE. GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does not work and hence fails. All these targets have default PIE disabled at the moment and I have left it to the target maintainers to enable PIE on their targets. build-many-glibcs runs clean for all targets. I also tested x86_64 on Fedora and Ubuntu, to verify that the default build as well as --disable-default-pie work as expected with both system toolchains.

* Add build option to disable usage of scv on powerpcMatheus Castanho2021-06-101-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 68ab82f56690ada86ac1e0c46bad06ba189a10ef added support for the scv syscall ABI on powerpc. Since then systems that have kernel and processor support started using scv. However adding the proper support for a new syscall ABI requires changes to several other projects (e.g. qemu, valgrind, strace, kernel), which are gradually receiving support. Meanwhile, having a way to disable scv on glibc at build time can be useful for distros that may encounter conflicts with projects that still do not support the scv ABI, buying time until proper support is added. This commit adds a --disable-scv option that disables scv support and uses sc for all syscalls, like before commit 68ab82f56690ada86ac1e0c46bad06ba189a10ef.

These aren't helpful for building glibc, but may cause test failures when testing the new long double. See notes below from Raji. On powerpc64le, some older compiler versions give error for the function signbit() for 128-bit floating point types. This is fixed by PR83862 in gcc 8.0 and backported to gcc6 and gcc7. This patch adds a test to check compiler version to avoid compiler errors during make check.

Since binutils 2.31, linking object files with different long double modes causes errors similar to: ld: libc_pic.a(s_isinfl.os) uses IBM long double, libc_pic.a(ieee128-qefgcvt.os) uses IEEE long double. collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [../Makerules:649: libc_pic.os] Error 1 The warnings are fair and correct, but in order for glibc to have support for both long double modes on powerpc64le, they have to be ignored. This can be accomplished with the use of -mno-gnu-attribute option when building the few files that require IEEE long double mode. However, -mno-gnu-attribute is not available in GCC 6, the minimum version required to build glibc, so this patch adds a test for this feature in powerpc64le builds, and fails early if it's not available.

* Require GCC 6.2 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers2019-02-011-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed during development for glibc 2.29, when we increased the required minimum GCC version for building glibc to GCC 5, working purely based on the times at which such requirements have been increased in the past it would be appropriate for glibc 2.30 to require GCC 6 (matching GCC 4.9 having been required for glibc 2.26). Naming 6.2 specifically as the minimum version then means a separate version requirement no longer needs to be specified for powerpc64le. Thus, this patch increases the minimum to 6.2, removing the documentation of the separate requirement for powerpc64le. It does not remove the powerpc64le configure test, or any __GNUC_PREREQ that could be removed as not being in installed headers or files shared with gnulib; I think such cleanups are best done separately. Tested for x86_64. * configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 6.2 or later. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Update minimum GCC version. * INSTALL: Regenerated.

* Require GCC 5 or later to build glibc (bug 23993).Joseph Myers2018-12-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. [BZ #23993] * configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 5 or later. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Update minimum GCC version. * INSTALL: Regenerated.
