* Add nextup and nextdown math functionsRajalakshmi Srinivasaraghavan2016-06-162-3/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | TS 18661 adds nextup and nextdown functions alongside nextafter to provide support for float128 equivalent to it. This patch adds nextupl, nextup, nextupf, nextdownl, nextdown and nextdownf to libm before float128 support. The nextup functions return the next representable value in the direction of positive infinity and the nextdown functions return the next representable value in the direction of negative infinity. These are currently enabled as GNU extensions.

* NSS: Implement group merging support.Stephen Gallagher2016-04-291-1/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Proposals/GroupMerging == Justification == It is common today for users to rely on centrally-managed user stores for handling their user accounts. However, much software existing today does not have an innate understanding of such accounts. Instead, they commonly rely on membership in known groups for managing access-control (for example the "wheel" group on Fedora and RHEL systems or the "adm" group on Debian-derived systems). In the present incarnation of nsswitch, the only way to have such groups managed by a remote user store such as FreeIPA or Active Directory would be to manually remove the groups from /etc/group on the clients so that nsswitch would then move past nss_files and into the SSSD, nss-ldap or other remote user database. == Solution == With this patch, a new action is introduced for nsswitch: NSS_ACTION_MERGE. To take advantage of it, one will add [SUCCESS=merge] between two database entries in the nsswitch.conf file. When a group is located in the first of the two group entries, processing will continue on to the next one. If the group is also found in the next entry (and the group name and GID are an exact match), the member list of the second entry will be added to the group object to be returned. == Implementation == After each DL_LOOKUP_FN() returns, the next action is checked. If the function returned NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS and the next action is NSS_ACTION_MERGE, a copy of the result buffer is saved for the next pass through the loop. If on this next pass through the loop the database returns another instance of a group matching both the group name and GID, the member list is added to the previous list and it is returned as a single object. If the following database does not contain the same group, then the original is copied back into the destination buffer. This patch implements merge functionality only for the group database. For other databases, there is a default implementation that will return the EINVAL errno if a merge is requested. The merge functionality can be implemented for other databases at a later time if such is needed. Each database must provide a unique implementation of the deep-copy and merge functions. If [SUCCESS=merge] is present in nsswitch.conf for a glibc version that does not support it, glibc will process results up until that operation, at which time it will return results if it has found them or else will simply return an error. In practical terms, this ends up behaving like the remainder of the nsswitch.conf line does not exist. == Iterators == This feature does not modify the iterator functionality from its current behavior. If getgrnam() or getgrgid() is called, glibc will iterate through all entries in the `group` line in nsswitch.conf and display the list of members without attempting to merge them. This is consistent with the behavior of nss_files where if two separate lines are specified for the same group in /etc/groups, getgrnam()/getgrgid() will display both. Clients are already expected to handle this gracefully. == No Premature Optimizations == The following is a list of places that might be eligible for optimization, but were not overengineered for this initial contribution: * Any situation where a merge may occur will result in one malloc() of the same size as the input buffer. * Any situation where a merge does occur will result in a second malloc() to hold the list of pointers to member name strings. * The list of members is simply concatenated together and is not tested for uniqueness (which is identical to the behavior for nss_files, which will simply return identical values if they both exist on the line in the file. This could potentially be optimized to reduce space usage in the buffer, but it is both complex and computationally expensive to do so. == Testing == I performed testing by running the getent utility against my newly-built glibc and configuring /etc/nsswitch.conf with the following entry: group: group: files [SUCCESS=merge] sss In /etc/group I included the line: wheel:x:10:sgallagh I then configured my local SSSD using the id_provider=local to respond with: wheel:*:10:localuser,localuser2 I then ran `getent group wheel` against the newly-built glibc in multiple situations and received the expected output as described above: * When SSSD was running. * When SSSD was configured in nsswitch.conf but the daemon was not running. * When SSSD was configured in nsswitch.conf but nss_sss.so.2 was not installed on the system. * When the order of 'sss' and 'files' was reversed. * All of the above with the [SUCCESS=merge] removed (to ensure no regressions). * All of the above with `getent group 10`. * All of the above with `getent group` with and without `enumerate=true` set in SSSD. * All of the above with and without nscd enabled on the system.
* glob: Simplify the interface for the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC callback gl_readdirFlorian Weimer2016-04-292-1/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, application code had to set up the d_namlen member if the target supported it, involving conditional compilation. After this change, glob will use the length of the string in d_name instead of d_namlen to determine the file name length. All glibc targets provide the d_type and d_ino members, and setting them as needed for gl_readdir is straightforward. Changing the behavior with regards to d_ino is left to a future cleanup.
* malloc: Run fork handler as late as possible [BZ #19431]Florian Weimer2016-04-141-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, a thread M invoking fork would acquire locks in this order: (M1) malloc arena locks (in the registered fork handler) (M2) libio list lock A thread F invoking flush (NULL) would acquire locks in this order: (F1) libio list lock (F2) individual _IO_FILE locks A thread G running getdelim would use this order: (G1) _IO_FILE lock (G2) malloc arena lock After executing (M1), (F1), (G1), none of the threads can make progress. This commit changes the fork lock order to: (M'1) libio list lock (M'2) malloc arena locks It explicitly encodes the lock order in the implementations of fork, and does not rely on the registration order, thus avoiding the deadlock.
* Remove union wait [BZ #19613]Florian Weimer2016-04-141-42/+6
| | | | | | | The overloading approach in the W* macros was incompatible with integer expressions of a type different from int. Applications using union wait and these macros will have to migrate to the POSIX-specified int status type.
* Allow spurious underflow / inexact for ldbl-128ibm.Joseph Myers2016-03-101-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A large number of the test-ldouble failures seen for ldbl-128ibm are spurious "underflow" and "inexact" exceptions. These arise from such exceptions in the underlying arithmetic; unlike other spurious exceptions from that arithmetic, they do not in general relate to cases where the returned result is also substantially inaccurate, are not so readily avoidable by appropriately conditional libgcc patches, and are widespread enough to be hard to handle through individual XFAILing of the affected tests. Thus, this patch documents relaxed accuracy goals for libm functions for IBM long double and makes libm-test.inc reflect these spurious exceptions in ldbl-128ibm arithmetic and always allow them in ldbl-128ibm testing (while still not allowing these exceptions to be missing where required to be present). Tested for powerpc. * manual/math.texi (Errors in Math Functions): Document relaxed accuracy goals for IBM long double. * math/libm-test.inc (test_exceptions): Always allow spurious "underflow" and "inexact" exceptions for IBM long double.
* Require Linux 3.2 except on x86 / x86_64, 3.2 headers everywhere.Joseph Myers2016-02-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00885.html> I proposed a minimum Linux kernel version of 3.2 for glibc 2.24, since Linux 2.6.32 has reached EOL. In the discussion in February, some concerns were expressed about compatibility with OpenVZ containers. It's not clear that these are real issues, given OpenVZ backporting kernel features and faking the kernel version for guest software, as discussed in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00278.html>. It's also not clear that supporting running GNU/Linux distributions from late 2016 (at the earliest) on a kernel series from 2009 is a sensible expectation. However, as an interim step, this patch increases the requirement everywhere except x86 / x86_64 (since the controversy was only about those architectures); the special caveats and settings can easily be removed later when we're ready to increase the requirements on x86 / x86_64 (and if someone would like to raise the issue on LWN as suggested in the previous discussion, that would be welcome). 3.2 kernel headers are required everywhere by this patch. (x32 already requires 3.4 or later, so is unaffected by this patch.) As usual for such a change, this patch only changes the configure scripts and associated documentation. The intent is to follow up with removal of dead __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION conditionals. Each __ASSUME_* or other macro that becomes dead can then be removed independently. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.ac (LIBC_LINUX_VERSION): Define to 3.2.0.

This way, Texinfo 5 quotes code in text with directed single quotes ‘like this’ and produces examples that can be cut out of PDFs. This change causes Texinfo 5 to generate info files that contain UTF-8 characters in the set {'‘', '’', '“', '”', 'Ä', 'ä', 'ö', '−', '–', '—', '©', '⇒', '•', '…'}, which is OK nowadays.

* Make obsolete syscall wrappers into compat symbols (bug 18472).Joseph Myers2015-12-141-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various Linux kernel syscalls have become obsolete over time. Specifically, the following are obsolete in all kernel versions supported by glibc, are not present for architectures more recently added to the kernel, and as such, the wrapper functions for them should be compat symbols, not in static libc and not available for new links with shared libc. * bdflush: in Linux 2.6, does nothing if present. * create_module get_kernel_syms query_module: Linux 2.4 module interface, syscalls not present in Linux 2.6. * uselib: part of the mechanism for loading a.out shared libraries, irrelevant with ELF. This patch adds support for syscalls.list to list syscall aliases of the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED, with SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals being generated for such aliases. Those five syscalls are then made into compat symbols (obsoleted in glibc 2.23, so future ports won't have these symbols at all), with the header <sys/kdaemon.h> declaring bdflush being removed. When we move to 3.2 as minimum kernel version, the same can be done for nfsservctl (removed in Linux 3.1) as well. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, as well as checking that the symbols in question indeed become compat symbols, that they are indeed omitted from static libc, and that the generated SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals look right). [BZ #18472] * sysdeps/unix/Makefile ($(objpfx)stub-syscalls.c): Handle entries for the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED and generate SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals for them. * sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh (emit_weak_aliases): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/kdaemon.h: Remove file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (sysdep_headers): Remove sys/kdaemon.h. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list (bdflush): Make into compat-only syscall, obsoleted in glibc 2.23. (create_module): Likewise. (get_kernel_syms): Likewise. (query_module): Likewise. (uselib): Likewise. * manual/sysinfo.texi (System Parameters): Do not mention bdflush.

Anyway, the manual shouldn't encourage strncpy+strncat for this sort of thing. * manual/string.texi (Copying Strings and Arrays): Split into three sections Copying Strings and Arrays, Concatenating Strings, and Truncating Strings, as this section was way too long. All cross-referenced changed. Add advice about string-truncation functions. Remove misleading strncat example.
* Document best practice for disconnected NSS modules.Carlos O'Donell2015-12-101-0/+7

* Consistency about byte vs character in string.texiPaul Eggert2015-12-041-221/+236
| | | | | | | | | | | * manual/string.texi (String and Array Utilities): Distinguish more carefully among bytes, multibyte characters, and wide characters. Use "byte" when talking about C 'char', to distinguish it more clearly from multibyte characters. Say "wide character" or "multibyte character" instead of "character", when a wide or multibyte character is intended. Similarly for "multibyte string" versus "string". Define these terms more carefully.
* Remove CPU set size checking from affinity functions [BZ #19143]Florian Weimer2015-11-241-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With current kernel versions, the check does not reliably detect that unavailable CPUs are requested, for these reasons: (1) The kernel will silently ignore non-allowed CPUs, that is, CPUs which are physically present but disallowed for the thread based on system configuration. (2) Similarly, CPU bits which lack an online CPU (possible CPUs) are ignored. (3) The existing probing code assumes that the CPU mask size is a power of two and at least 1024. Neither has it to be a power of two, nor is the minimum possible value 1024, so the value determined is often too large. This means that the CPU set size check in glibc accepts CPU bits beyond the actual hard system limit. (4) Future kernel versions may not even have a fixed CPU set size. After the removal of the probing code, the kernel still returns EINVAL if no CPU in the requested set remains which can run the thread after the affinity change. Applications which care about the exact affinity mask will have to query it using sched_getaffinity after setting it. Due to the effects described above, this commit does not change this. The new tests supersede tst-getcpu, which is removed. This addresses bug 19164 because the new tests allocate CPU sets dynamically. * nptl/check-cpuset.h: Remove. * nptl/pthread_attr_setaffinity.c (__pthread_attr_setaffinity_new): Remove CPU set size check. * nptl/pthread_setattr_default_np.c (pthread_setattr_default_np): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check-cpuset.h: Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pthread_setaffinity.c (__kernel_cpumask_size, __determine_cpumask_size): Remove.

* Require GCC 4.7 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers2015-10-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a requirement of GCC 4.7 or later to build glibc. This was discussed in the thread starting at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-08/msg00851.html>. Concerns were expressed by Mike and David. At <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00453.html> I have provided a 14-patch series showing in outline the cleanups facilitated by this version requirement, as requested by Mike (this patch is the first in that series, with the addition of a NEWS entry). Given the absence of further concerns or alternative proposals for criteria for updates to this version requirement as requested in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00065.html>, I am interpreting this as "absence of sustained opposition" under Carlos's definition at <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Consensus> and proposing this patch for inclusion in glibc. I'd like to remind people testing with 4.6 that if they move to testing with GCC 5 then it will probably be about four years before they need to update the compiler they use to test glibc again. Although on the principles of time-based updates I think a move to requiring binutils 2.23 would be reasonable, I'm not currently aware of any cleanups that would facilitate so am not proposing that at this time (but would expect to propose a move to requiring binutils 2.24 in a year's time, as that brings features such as AVX512 support that should allow some conditionals to be cleaned up). If someone thinks a move to requiring 2.23 would help clean things up for their architecture, please speak up. (And in general, I suspect there are lots of architecture-specific configure tests that could be removed on the basis of current GCC and binutils version requirements, given how I've found architecture-independent tests obsolete on the basis of version requirements going back 20 years.) Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 4.7 or later. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document requirement for GCC 4.7 or later. * INSTALL: Regenerated.

* The va_list pointer is unspecified after a call to vfprintf [BZ #18982]Florian Weimer2015-10-171-14/+10
| | | | This adjusts the documentation to the existing implementation.

* Fix manual argument order for posix_fallocate64 (Bug 19086).Carlos O'Donell2015-10-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | The argument order for posix_fallocate64 in the manual was wrong, it was listed as [fd, len, offset] when it should have been [fd, offset, len]. Verified io/fcntl.h has the right argument order, and it does. Verified generated PDF.
* Files open O_WRONLY not supported in fallocate emulation.Carlos O'Donell2015-09-291-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the posix_fallocate description in the manual we list various drawbacks with the emulation, including the fact that a file opened with O_APPEND fails with EBADF. Similarly a file opened with O_WRONLY fails with EBADF. We must be able to emulate a compare-and-swap via pread/compare/pwrite in order to make the emulation as safe as possible. It is not acceptable to ignore the read failure because it could result in significant data loss across all of the blocks. There is no other way to make this work without a true atomic CAS and SIGBUS handler (which is looking more attractive as a way to remove the race condition). This patch adds O_WRONLY to the manual as another bullet to clarify the limits of the emulation. Manual looks good in PDF.
* timezone: add a configure flag to disable program installMike Frysinger2015-09-181-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | Some distros build+install the timezone tools (zic/zdump/tzselect) outside of glibc and use the upstream package directly. Add a configure flag to glibc so they can disable install of those tools. This allows tests to run & pass regardless of the configure flag. Only the install of them is impacted.
* manual: skip build when perl is unavailableMike Frysinger2015-08-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | Do not try to generate the manual when perl is unavailable. This matches the behavior when makeinfo is unavailable. Otherwise the install step fails when trying to generate the libm section since it runs a perl script.
* Fix exponents in manual.Ondřej Bílka2015-08-204-23/+34
| | | | | | | * manual/macros.texi: Add twoexp macro. * manual/filesys.texi: Fix exponents. * manual/llio.texi: Likewise. * manual/stdio.texi: Likewise.
* PowerPC: Extend Program Priority Register supportGabriel F. T. Gomes2015-08-191-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds extra inline functions to change the Program Priority Register from ISA 2.07. 2015-08-19 Gabriel F. T. Gomes <gftg@linux.vnet.ibm.com> * sysdeps/powerpc/sys/platform/ppc.h (__ppc_set_ppr_med_high, __ppc_set_ppr_very_low): New functions. * manual/platform.texi: Add documentation about __ppc_set_ppr_med_high and __ppc_set_ppr_very_low.
* Attempting to install glibc configured with --prefix=/usr intoMartin Sebor2015-06-121-6/+8
| | | | | | | | a non-standard directory specified by the prefix make variable fails with an error. Since this is an unsupported use case, this change makes make install fail early and with a descriptive error message when either the prefix or the exec_prefix make variable is overridden on the command line.
