2010-04-09Add BZ to an older patch.Ulrich Drepper
2010-04-09Implement interfaces to set and get names of threads.Ulrich Drepper
At least the Linux kernel provides field where the kernel originally stores the command which is executed by the thread. The value can subsequently be overwritten. The added functions allow to do that for threads, providing and abstraction around the syscalls or /proc file system accesses needed.

2010-04-07Implement new mode for NIS passwd.adjunct.byname table.Ulrich Drepper
The passwd.adjunct.byname table will not be used to fill in password fields in the passwd.byname replies. Instead it is used to synthesize the shadow.byname table, should it be missing. This is a useful mode in some installations involving Solaris.

2009-05-15Check for valid stack frame in longjmp.Ulrich Drepper
If longjmp restores the stack frame to an address which is beyond the stack frame at the time of the longjmp call it would install an uninitialized stack frame. If compiled with _FORTIFY_SOURCE defined, longjmp will now bail out in this situation.
