* Require GCC 4.6 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers2014-11-141-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed in the thread starting at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-10/msg00792.html>, and continuing into November, this patch increases the minimum GCC version for building glibc to 4.6 (there seemed to be no clear consensus for 4.7). In particular, this allows us to use #pragma GCC diagnostic for fine-grained warning control with -Werror (subject to establishing a suitable policy for that use). The documentation has a statement, as requested, about the most recent GCC version tested for building glibc, and I've updated <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release> to refer to updating that statement. A NEWS entry is added for this change, although previous such changes didn't get them. Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by this patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 4.6 or later. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document a requirement of GCC 4.6 or later and that GCC 4.9 is the newest compiler verified to work. * INSTALL: Regenerated.

* manual/llio.texi: Comment on write atomicity.Carlos O'Donell2014-11-061-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | We add Linux-realted comments about the atomicity of write with respect to file offsets. As of Linux 3.14 the file offset update is atomic. That means that multiple threads calling the write syscall can not possibly get the same file offset. Therefore the writes should not overlap and data should not be lost as is required by POSIX.

* Update miscellaneous files from upstream sources.Joseph Myers2014-06-261-35/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates miscellaneous files from their upstream sources: texinfo.tex from Texinfo, config.guess and config.sub from config.git, install-sh from automake and move-if-change from gnulib.

* Remove redundant C locale settings.Joseph Myers2014-06-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various glibc build / install / test code has C locale settings that are redundant with LC_ALL=C. LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, so anywhere that sets LC_ALL=C (explicitly, or through it being in the default environment for running tests) does not need to set LANG=C. LC_ALL=C also takes precedence over LANGUAGE, since 2001-01-02 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> * intl/dcigettext.c (guess_category_value): Rewrite so that LANGUAGE value is ignored if the selected locale is the C locale. * intl/tst-gettext.c: Set locale for above change. * intl/tst-translit.c: Likewise. and so settings of LANGUAGE=C are also redundant when LC_ALL=C is set. One test also had LC_ALL=C in its -ENV setting, although it's part of the default environment used for tests. This patch removes the redundant settings. It removes a suggestion in install.texi of setting LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL=C for "make install"; the Makefile.in target "install" already sets LC_ALL_C so there's no need for the user to set it (and nor should there be any need for the user to set it). If some build machine tool used by "make install" uses a version of libintl predating that 2001 change, and the user has LANGUAGE set, the removal of LANGUAGE=C from the Makefile.in "install" rule could in principle affect the user's installation. However, I don't think we need to be concerned about pre-2001 build tools. Tested x86_64. * Makefile (install): Don't set LANGUAGE. * Makefile.in (install): Likewise. * assert/Makefile (test-assert-ENV): Remove variable.

* Don't require test wrappers to preserve environment variables, use more ↵Joseph Myers2014-06-061-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | consistent environment. One wart in the original support for test wrappers for cross testing, as noted in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00722.html>, is the requirement for test wrappers to pass a poorly-defined set of environment variables from the build system to the system running the glibc under test. Although some variables are passed explicitly via $(test-wrapper-env), including LD_* variables that simply can't be passed implicitly because of the side effects they'd have on the build system's dynamic linker, others are passed implicitly, including variables such as GCONV_PATH and LOCPATH that could potentially affect the build system's libc (so effectively relying on any such effects not breaking the wrappers). In addition, the code in cross-test-ssh.sh for preserving environment variables is fragile (it depends on how bash formats a list of exported variables, and could well break for multi-line variable definitions where the contents contain things looking like other variable definitions). This patch moves to explicitly passing environment variables via $(test-wrapper-env). Makefile variables that previously used $(test-wrapper) are split up into -before-env and -after-env parts that can be passed separately to the various .sh files used in testing, so those files can then insert environment settings between the two parts. The common default environment settings in make-test-out are made into a separate makefile variable that can also be passed to scripts, rather than many scripts duplicating those settings (for testing an installed glibc, it is desirable to have the GCONV_PATH setting on just one place, so just that one place needs to support it pointing to an installed sysroot instead of the build tree). The default settings are included in the variables such as $(test-program-prefix), so that if tests do not need any non-default settings they can continue to use single variables rather than the split-up variables. Although this patch cleans up LC_ALL=C settings (that being part of the common defaults), various LANG=C and LANGUAGE=C settings remain. Those are generally unnecessary and I propose a subsequent cleanup to remove them. LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, and while LANGUAGE takes precedence over LC_ALL, it only does so for settings other than LC_ALL=C. So LC_ALL=C on its own is sufficient to ensure the C locale, and anything that gets LC_ALL=C does not need the other settings. While preparing this patch I noticed some tests with .sh files that appeared to do nothing beyond what the generic makefile support for tests can do (localedata/tst-wctype.sh - the makefiles support -ENV variables and .input files - and localedata/tst-mbswcs.sh - just runs five tests that could be run individually from the makefile). So I propose another subsequent cleanup to move those to using the generic support instead of special .sh files.

* Increase minimum Linux kernel version to 2.6.32.Joseph Myers2014-04-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch increases the minimum Linux kernel version for glibc to 2.6.32, as discussed in the thread starting at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00511.html>. This patch just does the minimal change to arch_minimum_kernel settings (and LIBC_LINUX_VERSION, which determines the minimum kernel headers version, as it doesn't make sense for that to be older than the minimum kernel that can be used at runtime). Followups would be expected to do, roughly and not necessarily precisely in this order: * Remove __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION checks in kernel-features.h files where those checks are always true / always false for kernels 2.6.32 and above. * Otherwise simplify/improve conditionals in those files (for example, where defining once in the main file then undefining in architecture-specific files makes things clearer than having lots of separate definitions of the same macro), possibly fixing in the process cases where a macro should optimally have been defined for a given architecture but wasn't. (In the review in preparation for this version increase I checked what the right conditions should be for all macros in the main kernel-features.h whose definitions there would have been affected by the increase - but I only fixed that subset of the issues found where --enable-kernel=2.6.32 would have caused a kernel feature to be wrongly assumed to be present, not any cases where a feature is not assumed but could be assumed.) * Remove conditionals on __ASSUME_* where they can now be taken to be always-true, and the definitions when the macros are only used in Linux-specific files. * Split more architectures out of the main kernel-features.h (like ex-ports architectures), once various of the architecture conditionals there have been eliminated so the new architecture-specific files are no larger than actually necessary. Tested x86_64. 2014-03-27 Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com> [BZ #9894] * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac (LIBC_LINUX_VERSION): Change to 2.6.32.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the glibc manual we have a "Roadmap to the manual" section at the end of the "Introduction" chapter.

* Do not terminate default test runs on test failure.Joseph Myers2014-03-141-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is an updated version of <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00198.html> and <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-03/msg00180.html>. Normal practice for software testsuites is that rather than terminating immediately when a test fails, they continue running and report at the end on how many tests passed or failed. The principle behind the glibc testsuite stopping on failure was probably that the expected state is no failures and so any failure indicates a problem such as miscompilation. In practice, while this is fairly close to true for native testing on x86_64 and x86 (kernel bugs and race conditions can still cause intermittent failures), it's less likely to be the case on other platforms, and so people testing glibc run the testsuite with "make -k" and then examine the logs to determine whether the failures are what they expect to fail on that platform, possibly with some automation for the comparison. This patch switches the glibc testsuite to the normal convention of not stopping on failure - unless you use stop-on-test-failure=y, in which case it behaves essentially as it did before (and does not generate overall test summaries on failure). Instead, the summary tests.sum may contain tests that FAILed. At the end of the test run, any FAIL or ERROR lines from tests.sum are printed, and then it exits with error status if there were any such lines. In addition, build failures will also cause the test run to stop - this has the justification that those *do* indicate serious problems that should be promptly fixed and aren't generally hard to fix (but apart from that, avoiding the build stopping on those failures seems harder). Note that unlike the previous patches in this series, this *does* require people with automation around testing glibc to change their processes - either to start using tests.sum / xtests.sum to track failures and compare them with expectations (with or without also using "make -k" and examining "make" logs to identify build failures), or else to use stop-on-test-failure=y and ignore the new tests.sum / xtests.sum mechanism. (If all you check is the exit status from "make check", no changes are needed unless you want to avoid test runs continuing after the first failure.) Tested x86_64. * scripts/evaluate-test.sh: Handle fourth argument to determine whether test run should stop on failure. * Makeconfig (stop-on-test-failure): New variable. (evaluate-test): Pass fourth argument to evaluate-test.sh based on $(stop-on-test-failure). * Makefile (tests): Give a summary of results from testing and exit with failure status if they include an ERROR or FAIL.

Removing this data reduces source tree churn caused by updates to these files when libm tests are added, and reduces the frequency with which testsuite additions actually need libm-test-ulps changes at all. Accordingly, this patch removes that data, so that individual tests get checked against the global bounds for the given function and only generate an error if those are exceeded. Tested x86_64 (including verifying that if an ulps value is artificially reduced, the tests do indeed fail as they should and "make regen-ulps" generates the expected changes). * math/libm-test.inc (struct ulp_data): Don't refer to ulps for individual tests in comment.

* Add header and standard information to threads.texi.Carlos O'Donell2014-02-281-0/+12
| | | | | | | The glibc manual uses special annotations to include functions in the summary chapter. These annotations were missing from the functions in the threads chapter. This patch adds those special markers and in turn adds these functions to the summary chapter.

* Consistently include Makeconfig after defining subdir.Joseph Myers2014-02-261-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html> I noted it was necessary to add includes of Makeconfig early in various subdirectory makefiles for the tests-special variable settings added by that patch to be conditional on configuration information. No-one commented on the general question there of whether Makeconfig should always be included immediately after the definition of subdir. This patch implements that early inclusion of Makeconfig in each directory (which is a lot easier than consistent placement of includes of Rules). Includes are added if needed, or moved up if already present. Subdirectory "all:" targets are removed, since Makeconfig provides one. There is potential for further cleanups I haven't done. Rules and Makerules have code such as ifneq "$(findstring env,$(origin headers))" "" headers := endif to override to empty any value of various variables that came from the environment. I think there is a case for Makeconfig setting all the subdirectory variables (other than subdir) to empty to ensure no outside value is going to take effect if a subdirectory fails to define a variable. (A list of such variables, possibly out of date and incomplete, is in manual/maint.texi.) Rules and Makerules would give errors if Makeconfig hadn't already been included, instead of including it themselves. The special code to override values coming from the environment would then be obsolete and could be removed. Tested x86_64, including that installed binaries are identical before and after the patch. * argp/Makefile: Include Makeconfig immediately after defining subdir. * assert/Makefile: Likewise. * benchtests/Makefile: Likewise. * catgets/Makefile: Likewise. * conform/Makefile: Likewise. * crypt/Makefile: Likewise. * csu/Makefile: Likewise.

* Remove _BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE.Joseph Myers2014-02-115-33/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a minimal patch to remove _BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE from the documented user API, making them into aliases for _DEFAULT_SOURCE with a #warning given, but keeping most of the features.h logic using those macros and all the exising __USE_* conditionals, on the basis that all the consequent cleanups will go in followup patches.
