* Linux: Add getdents64 system callFlorian Weimer2019-06-071-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | No 32-bit system call wrapper is added because the interface is problematic because it cannot deal with 64-bit inode numbers and 64-bit directory hashes. A future commit will deprecate the undocumented getdirentries and getdirentries64 functions. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>

* Fix tcache count maximum (BZ #24531)Wilco Dijkstra2019-05-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | The tcache counts[] array is a char, which has a very small range and thus may overflow. When setting tcache_count tunable, there is no overflow check. However the tunable must not be larger than the maximum value of the tcache counts[] array, otherwise it can overflow when filling the tcache.

* Remove obsolete, never-implemented XSI STREAMS declarationsFlorian Weimer2019-03-141-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The stub implementations are turned into compat symbols. Linux actually has two reserved system call numbers (for getpmsg and putpmsg), but these system calls have never been implemented, and there are no plans to implement them, so this patch replaces the wrappers with the generic stubs. According to <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436349>, the presence of the XSI STREAMS declarations is a minor portability hazard because they are not actually implemented. This commit does not change the TIRPC support code in sunrpc/rpc_svcout.c. It uses additional XTI functionality and therefore never worked with glibc. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>

* Require GCC 6.2 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers2019-02-011-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As discussed during development for glibc 2.29, when we increased the required minimum GCC version for building glibc to GCC 5, working purely based on the times at which such requirements have been increased in the past it would be appropriate for glibc 2.30 to require GCC 6 (matching GCC 4.9 having been required for glibc 2.26). Naming 6.2 specifically as the minimum version then means a separate version requirement no longer needs to be specified for powerpc64le. Thus, this patch increases the minimum to 6.2, removing the documentation of the separate requirement for powerpc64le. It does not remove the powerpc64le configure test, or any __GNUC_PREREQ that could be removed as not being in installed headers or files shared with gnulib; I think such cleanups are best done separately.

* strftime: Set the default width of "%Ey" to 2 [BZ #23758]TAMUKI Shoichi2019-01-241-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In Japanese locales, strftime's alternative year format (%Ey) produces a year numbered within a time period called an _era_. A new era typically begins when a new emperor is enthroned. The result of "%Ey" is therefore usually a one- or two-digit number. Many programs that display Japanese era dates assume that the era year is two digits wide. To improve how these programs display dates during the first nine years of a new era, change "%Ey" to pad one- digit numbers on the left with a zero. This change applies to all locales. It is expected to be harmless for other locales that use the alternative year format (e.g. lo_LA and th_TH, in which "%Ey" produces the year of the Buddhist calendar) as those calendars' year numbers are already more than two digits wide, and this is not expected to change. This change needs to be in place before 2019-05-01 CE, as a new era is scheduled to begin on that date.

* Require GCC 5 or later to build glibc (bug 23993).Joseph Myers2018-12-211-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We know that building glibc with GCC 4.9 is broken on various platforms (bug 23993). As it's more than a year since we last increased the minimum GCC version to build glibc, this patch changes the requirement to be GCC 5 or later (indeed, based on 4.9 having been required for building 2.26, it would be consistent in terms of timing to require GCC 6 or later from the 2.30 release onwards). It deliberately just updates the configure test and corresponding documentation, leaving removal of no-longer-needed __GNUC_PREREQ tests for a separate patch. In the NEWS entry, the requirement for a newer GCC version for powerpc64le is reiterated (as in the entry for the 4.9 requirement in 2.26) to avoid suggesting the version requirement there has gone down. (If that version goes up further as part of support for binary128 long double, of course the wording would change at that time.) Tested for x86_64.

* Use gen-as-const.py to process .pysym files.Joseph Myers2018-12-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates the gen-py-const.awk variant of gen-as-const, switching to use of gnu-as-const.py (with a new --python option) to process .pysym files (i.e., to generate nptl_lock_constants.py), as the syntax of those files is identical to that of .sym files. Note that the generated nptl_lock_constants.py is *not* identical to the version generated by the awk script. Apart from the trivial changes (comment referencing the new script, and output being sorted), the constant FUTEX_WAITERS, PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS, PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_PSHARED and PTHREAD_MUTEX_PRIO_CEILING_MASK are now output as positive rather than negative constants (on x86_64 anyway; maybe not necessarily on 32-bit systems): < FUTEX_WAITERS = -2147483648 --- > FUTEX_WAITERS = 2147483648 < PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS = -251662336 < PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_PSHARED = -2147483648 --- > PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS = 4043304960 > PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_PSHARED = 2147483648 < PTHREAD_MUTEX_PRIO_CEILING_MASK = -524288 --- > PTHREAD_MUTEX_PRIO_CEILING_MASK = 4294443008 This is because gen-as-const has a cast of the constant value to long int, which gen-py-const lacks. I think the positive values are more logically correct, since the constants in question are in fact unsigned in C. But to reliably produce gen-as-const.py output for constants that always (in C and Python) reflects the signedness of values with the high bit of "long int" set would mean more complicated logic needs to be used in computing values. The more correct positive values by themselves produce a failure of nptl/test-mutexattr-printers, because masking with ~PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS & ~PTHREAD_MUTEX_NO_ELISION_NP now leaves a bit -1 << 32 in the Python value, resulting in a KeyError exception. To avoid that, places masking with ~ of one of the constants in question are changed to mask with 0xffffffff as well (this reflects how ~ in Python applies to an infinite-precision integer whereas ~ in C does not do any promotions beyond the width of int).

* Use STRFMON_LDBL_IS_DBL instead of __ldbl_is_dbl.Zack Weinberg2018-11-161-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On platforms where long double used to have the same format as double, but later switched to a different format (alpha, s390, sparc, and powerpc), accessing the older behavior is possible and it happens via __nldbl_* functions (not on the API, but accessible from header redirection and from compat symbols). These functions write to the global flag __ldbl_is_dbl, which tells other functions that long double variables should be handled as double. This patch takes the first step towards removing this global flag and creates __vstrfmon_l_internal, which takes an explicit flags parameter. This change arguably makes the generated code slightly worse on architectures where __ldbl_is_dbl is never true; right now, on those architectures, it's a compile-time constant; after this change, the compiler could theoretically prove that __vstrfmon_l_internal was never called with a nonzero flags argument, but it would probably need LTO to do it. This is not performance critical code and I tend to think that the maintainability benefits of removing action at a distance are worth it. However, we _could_ wrap the runtime flag check with a macro that was defined to ignore its argument and always return false on architectures where __ldbl_is_dbl is never true, if people think the codegen benefits are important. Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.

* Patch to require Python 3.4 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers2018-10-292-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes Python 3.4 or later a required tool for building glibc, so allowing changes of awk, perl etc. code used in the build and test to Python code without any such changes needing makefile conditionals or to handle older Python versions. This patch makes the configure test for Python check the version and give an error if Python is missing or too old, and removes makefile conditionals that are no longer needed. It does not itself convert any code from another language to Python, and does not remove any compatibility with older Python versions from existing scripts. Tested for x86_64. * configure.ac (PYTHON_PROG): Use AC_CHECK_PROG_VER. Set critic_missing for versions before 3.4. * configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document requirement for Python to build glibc. * INSTALL: Regenerated. * Rules [PYTHON]: Make code unconditional. * benchtests/Makefile [PYTHON]: Likewise. * conform/Makefile [PYTHON]: Likewise. * manual/Makefile [PYTHON]: Likewise. * math/Makefile [PYTHON]: Likewise.
* Use gen-libm-test.py to generate ulps table for manual.Joseph Myers2018-10-243-213/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch extends gen-libm-test.py to generate the ulps table for the manual, so meaning there is only a single ulps file parser needed and another Perl script is eliminated. As with the introduction of gen-libm-test.py, this is designed to generate exactly the same libm-err.texi as libm-err-tab.pl did. (gen-libm-test.py is still shorter in lines than the old gen-libm-test.pl even after this patch.) Note that this introduces a Python dependency for building the manual, which is thus noted in install.texi and NEWS. Tested building html / info / pdf versions of the manual. * math/gen-libm-test.py: Import os. (ALL_FLOATS_MANUAL): New constant. (ALL_FLOATS_SUFFIX): Likewise. (Ulps.all_functions): New function.

* Update install.texi documentation of uses of Perl and Python.Joseph Myers2018-08-131-37/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The install.texi documentation of uses of Perl and Python is substantially out of date. The description of Perl is "to test the installation" (which I interpret as referring to test-installation.pl), but it's used for more tests than that, and to build the manual, and to regenerate one file in the source tree. The description of Python is only for pretty-printer tests, but it's used for other tests / benchmarks as well (and for other internal uses such as updating Unicode data, for which we already require Python 3, but I think install.texi only needs to describe uses from the main glibc Makefiles). This patch updates the descriptions of what those tools are used for. The Python information (and information about other tools for testing pretty printers) was awkwardly in the middle of the general description of building and testing glibc, rather than with the rest of information about tools used in glibc build and test; this patch moves the information about those tools into the main list. Tested with regeneration of INSTALL as well as "make info" and "make pdf". * manual/install.texi (Configuring and compiling): Do not list tools used for testing pretty printers here. (Tools for Compilation): List Python, PExpect and GDB here. Update descriptions of uses of Perl and Python. * INSTALL: Regenerate.
