* Implement C23 log2p1Joseph Myers30 hours1-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | C23 adds various <math.h> function families originally defined in TS 18661-4. Add the log2p1 functions (log2(1+x): like log1p, but for base-2 logarithms). This illustrates the intended structure of implementations of all these function families: define them initially with a type-generic template implementation. If someone wishes to add type-specific implementations, it is likely such implementations can be both faster and more accurate than the type-generic one and can then override it for types for which they are implemented (adding benchmarks would be desirable in such cases to demonstrate that a new implementation is indeed faster). The test inputs are copied from those for log1p. Note that these changes make gen-auto-libm-tests depend on MPFR 4.2 (or later). The bulk of the changes are fairly generic for any such new function. (sysdeps/powerpc/nofpu/Makefile only needs changing for those type-generic templates that use fabs.) Tested for x86_64 and x86, and with build-many-glibcs.py.

| | | | | | | | | | | | These fields store timestamps when the system was running. No Linux systems existed before 1970, so these values are unused. Switching to unsigned types allows continued use of the existing struct layouts beyond the year 2038.

* Refer to C23 in place of C2X in glibcJoseph Myers2024-02-011-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WG14 decided to use the name C23 as the informal name of the next revision of the C standard (notwithstanding the publication date in 2024). Update references to C2X in glibc to use the C23 name. This is intended to update everything *except* where it involves renaming files (the changes involving renaming tests are intended to be done separately). In the case of the _ISOC2X_SOURCE feature test macro - the only user-visible interface involved - support for that macro is kept for backwards compatibility, while adding _ISOC23_SOURCE. Tested for x86_64.
* Use gcc __builtin_stdc_* builtins in stdbit.h if possibleJakub Jelinek2024-01-311-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch uses the GCC 14 __builtin_stdc_* builtins in stdbit.h for the type-generic macros, so that when compiled with GCC 14 or later, it supports not just 8/16/32/64-bit unsigned integers, but also 128-bit (if target supports them) and unsigned _BitInt (any supported precision). And so that the macros don't expand arguments multiple times and can be evaluated in constant expressions. The new testcase is gcc's gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/builtin-stdc-bit-1.c adjusted to test stdbit.h and the type-generic macros in there instead of the builtins and adjusted to use glibc test framework rather than gcc style tests with __builtin_abort ().

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.

* Implement C23 <stdbit.h>Joseph Myers2024-01-031-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | C23 adds a header <stdbit.h> with various functions and type-generic macros for bit-manipulation of unsigned integers (plus macro defines related to endianness). Implement this header for glibc. The functions have both inline definitions in the header (referenced by macros defined in the header) and copies with external linkage in the library (which are implemented in terms of those macros to avoid duplication). They are documented in the glibc manual. Tests, as well as verifying results for various inputs (of both the macros and the out-of-line functions), verify the types of those results (which showed up a bug in an earlier version with the type-generic macro stdc_has_single_bit wrongly returning a promoted type), that the macros can be used at top level in a source file (so don't use ({})), that they evaluate their arguments exactly once, and that the macros for the type-specific functions have the expected implicit conversions to the relevant argument type. Jakub previously referred to -Wconversion warnings in type-generic macros, so I've included a test with -Wconversion (but the only warnings I saw and fixed from that test were actually in inline functions in the <stdbit.h> header - not anything coming from use of the type-generic macros themselves). This implementation of the type-generic macros does not handle unsigned __int128, or unsigned _BitInt types with a width other than that of a standard integer type (and C23 doesn't require the header to handle such types either). Support for those types, using the new type-generic built-in functions Jakub's added for GCC 14, can reasonably be added in a followup (along of course with associated tests). This implementation doesn't do anything special to handle C++, or have any tests of functionality in C++ beyond the existing tests that all headers can be compiled in C++ code; it's not clear exactly what form this header should take in C++, but probably not one using macros. DIS ballot comment AT-107 asks for the word "count" to be added to the names of the stdc_leading_zeros, stdc_leading_ones, stdc_trailing_zeros and stdc_trailing_ones functions and macros. I don't think it's likely to be accepted (accepting any technical comments would mean having an FDIS ballot), but if it is accepted at the WG14 meeting (22-26 January in Strasbourg, starting with DIS ballot comment handling) then there would still be time to update glibc for the renaming before the 2.39 release. The new functions and header are placed in the stdlib/ directory in glibc, rather than creating a new toplevel stdbit/ or putting them in string/ alongside ffs. Tested for x86_64 and x86.

* Move CVE information into advisories directorySiddhesh Poyarekar2023-12-071-19/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the requirements to becoming a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) is to publish advisories. Do this by maintaining a file for each CVE fixed in the advisories directory in the source tree. Links to the advisories can then be shared as: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob_plain;f=advisories/GLIBC-SA-YYYY-NNNN The file format at the moment is rudimentary and derives from the git commit format, i.e. a subject line and a potentially multi-paragraph description and then tags to describe some meta information. This is a loose format at the moment and could change as we evolve this. Also add a script process-fixed-cves.sh that processes these advisories and generates a list to add to NEWS at release time.

* posix: Revert the removal of the crypt prototype from <unistd.h>Florian Weimer2023-11-221-1/+4

* elf: Add glibc.mem.decorate_maps tunableAdhemerval Zanella2023-11-071-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME support is only enabled through a configurable kernel switch, mainly because assigning a name to a anonymous virtual memory area might prevent that area from being merged with adjacent virtual memory areas. For instance, with the following code: void *p1 = mmap (NULL, 1024 * 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); void *p2 = mmap (p1 + (1024 * 4096), 1024 * 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); The kernel will potentially merge both mappings resulting in only one segment of size 0x800000. If the segment is names with PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME with different names, it results in two mappings. Although this will unlikely be an issue for pthread stacks and malloc arenas (since for pthread stacks the guard page will result in a PROT_NONE segment, similar to the alignment requirement for the arena block), it still might prevent the mmap memory allocated for detail malloc. There is also another potential scalability issue, where the prctl requires to take the mmap global lock which is still not fully fixed in Linux [1] (for pthread stacks and arenas, it is mitigated by the stack cached and the arena reuse). So this patch disables anonymous mapping annotations as default and add a new tunable, glibc.mem.decorate_maps, can be used to enable it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This interface allows to obtain the associated process ID from the process file descriptor. It is done by parsing the procps fdinfo information. Its prototype is: pid_t pidfd_getpid (int fd) It returns the associated pid or -1 in case of an error and sets the errno accordingly. The possible errno values are those from open, read, and close (used on procps parsing), along with: - EBADF if the FD is negative, does not have a PID associated, or if the fdinfo fields contain a value larger than pid_t. - EREMOTE if the PID is in a separate namespace. - ESRCH if the process is already terminated.

* posix: Add pidfd_spawn and pidfd_spawnp (BZ 30349)Adhemerval Zanella Netto2023-09-051-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Returning a pidfd allows a process to keep a race-free handle for a child process, otherwise, the caller will need to either use pidfd_open (which still might be subject to TOCTOU) or keep the old racy interface base on pid_t. To correct use pifd_spawn, the kernel must support not only returning the pidfd with clone/clone3 but also waitid (P_PIDFD) (added on Linux 5.4). If kernel does not support the waitid, pidfd return ENOSYS. It avoids the need to racy workarounds, such as reading the procfs fdinfo to get the pid to use along with other wait interfaces. These interfaces are similar to the posix_spawn and posix_spawnp, with the only difference being it returns a process file descriptor (int) instead of a process ID (pid_t). Their prototypes are: int pidfd_spawn (int *restrict pidfd, const char *restrict file, const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *restrict facts, const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attrp, char *const argv[restrict], char *const envp[restrict]) int pidfd_spawnp (int *restrict pidfd, const char *restrict path, const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *restrict facts, const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attrp, char *const argv[restrict_arr], char *const envp[restrict_arr]); A new symbol is used instead of a posix_spawn extension to avoid possible issues with language bindings that might track the return argument lifetime. Although on Linux pid_t and int are interchangeable, POSIX only states that pid_t should be a signed integer. Both symbols reuse the posix_spawn posix_spawn_file_actions_t and posix_spawnattr_t, to void rehash posix_spawn API or add a new one. It also means that both interfaces support the same attribute and file actions, and a new flag or file action on posix_spawn is also added automatically for pidfd_spawn. Also, using posix_spawn plumbing allows the reusing of most of the current testing with some changes: - waitid is used instead of waitpid since it is a more generic interface. - tst-posix_spawn-setsid.c is adapted to take into consideration that the caller can check for session id directly. The test now spawns itself and writes the session id as a file instead. - tst-spawn3.c need to know where pidfd_spawn is used so it keeps an extra file description unused.

* linux: statvfs: allocate spare for f_typeнаб2023-08-081-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the only missing part in struct statvfs. The LSB calls [f]statfs() deprecated, and its weird types are definitely off-putting. However, its use is required to get f_type. Instead, allocate one of the six spares to f_type, copied directly from struct statfs. This then becomes a small glibc extension to the standard interface on Linux and the Hurd, instead of two different interfaces, one of which is quite odd due to being an ABI type, and there no longer is any reason to use statfs(). The underlying kernel type is a mess, but all architectures agree on u32 (or more) for the ABI, and all filesystem magicks are 32-bit integers. We don't lose any generality by using u32, and by doing so we both make the API consistent with the Hurd, and allow C++ switch(f_type) { case RAMFS_MAGIC: ...; } Also fix tst-statvfs so that it actually fails; as it stood, all it did was return 0 always. Test statfs()' and statvfs()' f_types are the same.

* C2x printf %wN, %wfN support (bug 24466)Joseph Myers2023-06-191-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ISO C2x defines printf length modifiers wN (for intN_t / int_leastN_t / uintN_t / uint_leastN_t) and wfN (for int_fastN_t / uint_fastN_t). Add support for those length modifiers (such a feature was previously requested in bug 24466). scanf support is to be added separately. GCC 13 has format checking support for these modifiers. When used with the support for registering format specifiers, these modifiers are translated to existing flags in struct printf_info, rather than trying to add some way of distinguishing them without breaking the printf_info ABI. C2x requires an error to be returned for unsupported values of N; this is implemented for printf-family functions, but the parse_printf_format interface doesn't support error returns, so such an error gets discarded by that function. Tested for x86_64 and x86.
* Implement strlcpy and strlcat [BZ #178]Florian Weimer2023-06-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | These functions are about to be added to POSIX, under Austin Group issue 986. The fortified strlcat implementation does not raise SIGABRT if the destination buffer does not contain a null terminator, it just inherits the non-failing regular strlcat behavior.

* Enable libmvec support for AArch64Joe Ramsay2023-05-031-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
