* detect broken linker handling of __ehdr_startMike Frysinger2014-08-121-6/+20
| | | | | | Older versions of ld on ia64 support __ehdr_start, but generate relocs when they shouldn't. This causes the ld.so to not run because it tries to resolve the __ehdr_start symbol (but it's not exported).

* Remove relro configure test.Joseph Myers2014-06-271-92/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the configure test for working -z relro. The use of -z relro in Makeconfig became unconditional with commit 2e6ab1df44c412bb9d30b26a4d8a679150a7e375 Author: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Date: Sat Oct 28 06:44:04 2006 +0000 Remove conditional code which now is unnecessary. (commit reference from git://repo.or.cz/glibc/history), so since then the configure test has not controlled anything about how glibc is built - simply about whether configure succeeds and allows a build to be attempted. The test for whether the option did something useful (as opposed to whether it exists - which we can certainly just assume by now) was originally added in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2004-09/msg00069.html> to disable the option in a case when it did nothing useful on ia64 (as a result of something deliberate in the linker on ia64). Since 2006 that disabling has been of no effect, and given that the current test does not set libc_relro_required for ia64, it does nothing whatever useful for the original motivating case. Also at around the same time in 2006 the test was made to give an error for missing or broken -z relro support on various architectures. So effectively all the test does now is verify that, on certain architectures, the linker has not been changed deliberately to make the option ineffective. I see no apparent reason why such a change should be expected, or why the build should be stopped if it were to be made (any more than we disallow build on ia64); I think we can trust binutils patch review to point out the consequences of any change to COMMONPAGESIZE setting. The only thing that might now make sense would be disabling the -z relro use on an architecture-specific basis if there were an architecture-specific reason to consider that to make sense; it would be for the ia64 maintainer to decide if that makes sense for ia64 at present, but I think that could be done through sysdeps Makefiles - no special configure tests needed. Tested for x86_64 that this patch makes no change to the installed shared libraries. Together with <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00788.html> (pending review) this substantially eliminates architecture-specific cases from architecture-independent configure.ac files. There remains an i386 case in sysdeps/mach/hurd/configure.ac that should properly move to the i386 subdirectory. (There are also OS-specific cases outside OS-specific directories; in principle I think should should also move.) * configure.ac (libc_commonpagesize): Remove variable. (libc_relro_required): Likewise. (libc_cv_z_relro): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/aarch64/preconfigure (libc_commonpagesize): Do not set variable.

* Remove powerpc special cases in configure.ac.Joseph Myers2014-06-261-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes two powerpc special cases in the main configure.ac. The test for rs6000 is irrelevant to currently supported configurations (config.guess reports rs6000 for some OSes, of which the only one currently supported by GCC is AIX, but not for Linux). There's no need either for a special case for powerpc*-*soft; --without-fp suffices, and GCC doesn't have any special handling of such a triplet. Not tested. * configure.ac: Do not test for machine being rs6000. Do not test for powerpc*-*soft. * configure: Regenerated.
* Remove configure tests for assembler CFI support.Joseph Myers2014-06-261-37/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes configure tests for assembler CFI support (and thereby eliminates an architecture-specific case in the main configure.ac), instead assuming that support is present unconditionally. The main test was added in 2003 around the time CFI support was added to the assembler. cfi_personality and cfi_lsda support were added to the assembler in 2006. cfi_sections support was added in 2009, a few weeks before binutils 2.20 was released; it's in 2.20, the minimum supported version, so even that configure test is obsolete. Tested x86_64 that the installed shared libraries are unchanged by this patch. * configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_cfi_directives): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * config.h.in (HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES): Remove macro undefine. * sysdeps/arm/configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_cfi_directive_sections): Remove configure test. * sysdeps/arm/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac: Do not check libc_cv_asm_cfi_directives. * sysdeps/nptl/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/configure.ac: Remove file. * sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/configure: Remove generated file. * b/sysdeps/generic/sysdep.h [HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES]: Make code unconditional. [!HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES]: Remove conditional code.
* Move USE_REGPARMS define to sysdeps/i386/configure.ac.Joseph Myers2014-06-251-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the USE_REGPARMS define from the toplevel configure.ac to sysdeps/i386/configure.ac. Tested x86 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is unchanged by this patch. * configure.ac (USE_REGPARMS): Don't define here. * configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/i386/configure.ac (USE_REGPARMS): Define here. * sysdeps/i386/configure: Regenerated.
* Remove BROKEN_PPC_ASM_CR0 configure test.Joseph Myers2014-06-251-34/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One piece of architecture-specific code in the main configure.ac is the powerpc test that can define BROKEN_PPC_ASM_CR0. There's no need to move this to a sysdeps configure script, or to work out what bug it was testing in May 1998 to see if it's still relevant, since nothing in the source tree now uses the results of this test. Thus, this patch just removes the test in question. Not tested. * configure.ac (libc_cv_c_asmcr0_bug): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * config.h.in (BROKEN_PPC_ASM_CR0): Remove macro.
* Move base_machine and machine settings from configure.ac to sysdeps ↵Joseph Myers2014-06-251-33/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | preconfigure fragments. This patch makes non-ex-ports architectures set base_machine and machine based on the original configured machine value in preconfigure fragments, like ex-ports architectures, rather than in the toplevel configure.ac. Tested x86 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is unchanged by the patch. * configure.ac (base_machine): Do not set specially for particular machines here. * configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/powerpc/preconfigure: Move machine and base_machine settings from configure.ac. * sysdeps/i386/preconfigure: New file. * sysdeps/s390/preconfigure: Likewise. * sysdeps/sh/preconfigure: Likewise. * sysdeps/sparc/preconfigure: Likewise.
* S/390: Port of lock elision to System/zDominik Vogt2014-05-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Added support for TX lock elision of pthread mutexes on s390 and s390x. This may improve lock scaling of existing programs on TX capable systems. The lock elision code is only built with --enable-lock-elision=yes and then requires a GCC version supporting the TX builtins. With lock elision default mutexes are elided via __builtin_tbegin, if the cpu supports transactions. By default lock elision is not enabled and the elision code is not built.
* nscd: Make SELinux checks dynamic.Carlos O'Donell2014-04-141-30/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SELinux team has indicated to me that glibc's SELinux checks in nscd are not being carried out as they would expect the API to be used today. They would like to move away from static header defines for class and permissions and instead use dynamic checks at runtime that provide an answer which is dependent on the runtime status of SELinux i.e. more dynamic. The following patch is a minimal change that moves us forward in this direction. It does the following: * Stop checking for SELinux headers that define NSCD__SHMEMHOST. Check only for the presence or absence of the library. * Don't encode the specific SELinux permission constants into a table at build time, and instead use the symbolic name for the permission as expected. * Lookup the "What do we do if we don't know this permission?" policy and use that if we find SELinux's policy is older than the glibc policy e.g. we make a request for a permission that SELinux doesn't know about. * Lastly, translate the class and permission and then make the permission check. This is done every time we lookup a permission, and this is the expected way to use the API. SELinux will optimize this for us, and we expect the network latencies to hide these extra library calls. Tested on x86, x86-64, and via Fedora Rawhide since November 2013. See: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-04/msg00179.html
* PowerPC: define _CALL_ELF if compiler does notAdhemerval Zanella2014-04-061-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes the configure adds -D_CALL_ELF=1 when compiler does not define _CALL_ELF (versions before powerpc64le support). It cleans up compiler warnings on old compiler where _CALL_ELF is not defined on powerpc64(be) builds. It does by add a new config.make variable for configure-deduced CPPFLAGS and accumulate into that (confix-extra-cppflags). It also generalizes libc_extra_cflags so it accumulates in sysdeps configure fragmenets.
* stop supporting bash-1.xMike Frysinger2014-03-131-9/+0
| | | | | We've stopped supporting toolchain packages older than 2009, so punting bash-1.x is reasonable when bash-2 was released almost 20 years ago.
* delete ksh checksMike Frysinger2014-03-131-56/+0

* Add --enable-maintainer-mode configure optionAllan McRae2013-12-161-16/+30
| | | | | | | | | Autoconf is tested for and run if needed only when --enable-maintainer-mode is used on configure. This results in the autom4te.cache directory only being written in the source directory during configure if automatic autoconf usage is requested. Fixes BZ #14120.

* CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown.Carlos O'Donell2013-07-211-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Configuring for i386 is no longer supported.Carlos O'Donell2013-04-171-10/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We no longer support configuring for i386, nor do we elide such a configuration to i686. Configuring with i386-* is a failure, and we provide an example of how to fix that. --- 2013-04-17 Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> * configure.in: Remove i386 configure warning. Remove i386 case. * configure: Regenerate. * sysdeps/i386/configure.in: Raise error if config_machine is i386. Add example to error message. * sysdeps/i386/configure: Regenerate.
* i386: Fail at configure time for i386 builds.Carlos O'Donell2013-04-061-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change does two things: * Treats a target i386-* as if it were i686. * Fails configure if the user is generating code for i386. We no longer support i386 code-generation because the i386 lacks the atomic operations we need in glibc. You can still configure for i386-*, but you get i686 code. You can't build with --march=i386, --mtune=i386 or a compiler that defaults to i386 code-generation. I've added two i386 entries in the master todo list to discuss merging and renaming: http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Development_Todo/Master#i386 The failure modes are fail-safe here. You compile for i386, get i686, and try to run on i386 and it fails. The configure log has a warning saying we elided to i686. There is no situation that I can see where we run into any serious problems. The patch makes the current state better in that we get less confused users and we build successfully in more default configurations. The next enhancement would be to add --march=i?86 as suggested in #c20 of BZ#10062 for any i?86-* builds, which would solve the problem of a 32-bit compiler that defaults to i386 code-gen and glibc configured for i686-* target. Which previously failed at build time, and now will fail at configure time (requires adding --march=i686). Updated NEWS with BZ #10060 and #10062. No regressions. --- 2013-04-06 Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> [BZ #10060, #10062] * aclocal.m4 (LIBC_COMPILER_BUILTIN_INLINED): New macro. * sysdeps/i386/configure.in: Use LIBC_COMPILER_BUILTIN_INLINED and fail configure if __sync_val_compare_and_swap is not inlined. * sysdeps/i386/configure: Regenerate. * configure.in: Build for i686 when configured for i386. * configure: Regenerate. * README: Remove i386 reference.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The test currently tests the binutils frontend support which passes for all versions of binutils we currently require (2.20+). It doesn't test the backend which is required for ifunc to actually work, and which most targets don't yet support. Change the assembly code so that when we link it, we get a file that has ifunc relocations if the backend supports it. That way we can test to see if binutils supports everything we need.
