The features array can be expanded with backward binary compatibility for both .o and .so files. When COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_MAX is increased to support new processor features, __x86_get_cpu_features in the older glibc binaries returns NULL and HAS_CPU_FEATURE/CPU_FEATURE_USABLE return false on the new processor feature. No new symbol version is neeeded. Both CPU_FEATURE_USABLE and HAS_CPU_FEATURE are provided. HAS_CPU_FEATURE can be used to identify processor features. Note: Although GCC has __builtin_cpu_supports, it only supports a subset of <sys/platform/x86.h> and it is equivalent to CPU_FEATURE_USABLE. It doesn't support HAS_CPU_FEATURE.

| | | | | | | | | | | After some discussions it seems the original news was not clear and that it is valid to manually pass the branch protection flags iff GCC target libs are built with them too. The main difference between manually passing the flags and using the configure option is that the latter also makes branch protection the default in GCC which may not be desirable in some cases.

* Linux: Remove rseq supportFlorian Weimer2020-07-161-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel ABI is not finalized, and there are now various proposals to change the size of struct rseq, which would make the glibc ABI dependent on the version of the kernels used for building glibc. This is of course not acceptable.

Replacement implementations based on TIRPC, which additionally support IPv6, are available from <https://github.com/thkukuk/>. This change does not affect libnss_compat which does not depended on libnsl since 2.27 and thus can be used without NIS. libnsl code depends on Sun RPC, e.g. on --enable-obsolete-rpc (installed libnsl headers use installed Sun RPC headers), which will be removed in the following commit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The variable is placed in libc.so, and it can be true only in an outer libc, not libcs loaded via dlmopen or static dlopen. Since thread creation from inner namespaces does not work, pthread_create can update __libc_single_threaded directly.

* Linux: Perform rseq registration at C startup and thread creationMathieu Desnoyers2020-07-061-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Register rseq TLS for each thread (including main), and unregister for each thread (excluding main). "rseq" stands for Restartable Sequences. See the rseq(2) man page proposed here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/19/647 Those are based on glibc master branch commit 3ee1e0ec5c. The rseq system call was merged into Linux 4.18. The TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS define is increased to leave additional room for dlopen'd initial-exec TLS, which keeps elf/tst-auditmany working. The increase (76 bytes) is larger than 32 bytes because it has not been increased in quite a while. The cost in terms of additional TLS storage is quite significant, but it will also obscure some initial-exec-related dlopen failures.

* powerpc64le: Enable support for IEEE long doubleGabriel F. T. Gomes2020-04-301-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On platforms where long double may have two different formats, i.e.: the same format as double (64-bits) or something else (128-bits), building with -mlong-double-128 is the default and function calls in the user program match the name of the function in Glibc. When building with -mlong-double-64, Glibc installed headers redirect such calls to the appropriate function. Likewise, the internals of glibc are now built against IEEE long double. However, the only (minimally) notable usage of long double is difftime. Reviewed-by: Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho <tuliom@linux.ibm.com>
* powerpc64le: raise GCC requirement to 7.4 for long double transitionPaul E. Murphy2020-04-301-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add compiler feature tests to ensure we can build ieee128 long double. These test for -mabi=ieeelongdouble, -mno-gnu-attribute, and -Wno-psabi. Likewise, verify some compiler bugs have been addressed. 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. Likewise, test for -mno-gnu-attribute support which was On powerpc64le, a few files are built on IEEE long double mode (-mabi=ieeelongdouble), whereas most are built on IBM long double mode (-mabi=ibmlongdouble, the default for -mlong-double-128). 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.

* Linux: Use system call tables during buildFlorian Weimer2020-01-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use <arch-syscall.h> instead of <asm/unistd.h> to obtain the system call numbers. A few direct includes of <asm/unistd.h> need to be removed (if the system call numbers are already provided indirectly by <sysdep.h>) or replaced with <sys/syscall.h>. Current Linux headers for alpha define the required system call names, so most of the _NR_* hacks are no longer needed. For the 32-bit arm architecture, eliminate the INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ARM macro, now that we have regular system call names for cacheflush and set_tls. There are more such cleanup opportunities for other architectures, but these cleanups are required to avoid macro redefinition errors during the build. For ia64, it is desirable to use <asm/break.h> directly to obtain the break number for system calls (which is not a system call number itself). This requires replacing __BREAK_SYSCALL with __IA64_BREAK_SYSCALL because the former is defined as an alias in <asm/unistd.h>, but not in <asm/break.h>.
