* Mark success return value as volatile to work around reschedulingSiddhesh Poyarekar2013-09-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Resolves #15921 The test case nptl/tst-cleanup2 fails on s390x and power6 due to instruction sheduling in gcc. This was reported in gcc: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58034 but it was concluded that gcc is allowed to assume that the first argument to sprintf is a character array - NULL not being a valid character array.

* ARM: Fix clone code when built for Thumb.Will Newton2013-08-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The mov lr, pc instruction will lose the Thumb bit from the return address so use blx lr instead. ports/ChangeLog.arm: 2013-08-30 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> [BZ #15909] * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/clone.S (__clone): Use blx instead of mov lr, pc.

* ARM: Pass dl_hwcap to IFUNC resolver.Carlos O'Donell2013-08-291-1/+1
| | | | | For REL relocs pass dl_hwcap to the IFUNC resolver as is required by the IFUNC API (bug 15905).
* [BZ #15897] dlfcn: do not mark dlopen/dlclose as leaf functionsMike Frysinger2013-08-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tile BZ #15759: Fix bug in _dl_unmapChris Metcalf2013-07-221-1/+2
| | | | | | We returned without calling __munmap if not in the simulator. Now we call a separate sim_dlclose() function to make the control flow work correctly.
* CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown.Carlos O'Donell2013-07-211-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* BZ #15711: Avoid circular dependency for syscall.hCarlos O'Donell2013-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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'. --- 2013-07-15 Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> [BZ #15711] * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile ($(objpfx)bits/syscall%h): Avoid system header dependency with -ffreestanding. ($(objpfx)bits/syscall%d): Likewise.

* [BZ #15022] Correct global-scope dlopen issues in static executables.Maciej W. Rozycki2013-06-281-8/+8
| | | | | | | | 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.

* [BZ #10283] localedef: align fixed maps to SHMLBAMike Frysinger2013-06-241-13/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | Many Linux arches require fixed mmaps to be aligned higher than pagesize, so use the SHMLBA define as it represents this quantity exactly. This fixes spurious errors seen on those arches like: cannot map archive header: Invalid argument URL: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10283 Reported-by: CHIKAMA Masaki <masaki.chikama@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* BZ #12310: pthread_exit in static app. segfaultsVladimir Nikulichev2013-06-241-12/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Static applications that call pthread_exit on the main thread segfault. This is because after a thread terminates __libc_start_main decrements __nptl_nthreads which is only defined in pthread_create. Therefore the right solution is to add a requirement to pthread_create from pthread_exit. ~~~ nptl/ 2013-06-24 Vladimir Nikulichev <v.nikulichev@gmail.com> [BZ #12310] * pthread_exit.c: Add reference to pthread_create.

* New API to set default thread attributesSiddhesh Poyarekar2013-06-151-0/+4
| | | | | | | This patch introduces two new convenience functions to set the default thread attributes used for creating threads. This allows a programmer to set the default thread attributes just once in a process and then run pthread_create without additional attributes.

* Avoid access beyond memory bounds in pthread_attr_getaffinity_npSiddhesh Poyarekar2013-06-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Resolves BZ #15618. pthread_attr_getaffinity_np may write beyond bounds of the input cpuset buffer if the size of the input buffer is smaller than the buffer present in the input pthread attributes. Fix is to copy to the extent of the minimum of the source and the destination.

* BZ #15536: Fix ulp for 128-bit IBM long double.Carlos O'Donell2013-06-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | In 128-bit IBM long double the precision of the type decreases as you approach subnormal numbers, equaling that of a double for subnormal numbers. Therefore adjust the computation in ulp to use 2^(MIN_EXP - MANT_DIG) which is correct for FP_SUBNORMAL for all types.
