2012-10-10Take lock in pthread_cond_wait cleanup handler only when neededSiddhesh Poyarekar
[BZ #14652] When a thread waiting in pthread_cond_wait with a PI mutex is cancelled after it has returned successfully from the futex syscall but just before async cancellation is disabled, it enters its cancellation handler with the mutex held and simply calling a mutex_lock again will result in a deadlock. Hence, it is necessary to see if the thread owns the lock and try to lock it only if it doesn't.

[BZ #14568] * sysdeps/sparc/tls.h (DB_THREAD_SELF_INCLUDE): Delete. (DB_THREAD_SELF): Use constants for the register offsets. Correct the case of a 64-bit debugger with a 32-bit inferior.

2012-10-05Unlock mutex before going back to waiting for PI mutexesSiddhesh Poyarekar
[BZ #14417] A futex call with FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI returns with the mutex locked on success. If such a successful thread is pipped to the cond_lock by another spuriously woken waiter, it could be sent back to wait on the futex with the mutex lock held, thus causing a deadlock. So it is necessary that the thread relinquishes the mutex before going back to sleep.

[BZ #14477] Add an additional entry in the exception table to jump to __condvar_w_cleanup2 instead of __condvar_w_cleanup for PI mutexes when %ebx contains the address of the futex instead of the condition variable.

[BZ #5298] Use write pointer state along with the file offset and/or the read pointers to get the current file position.
2012-09-28Adjust wide data buffer pointers during fseek and ftellSiddhesh Poyarekar
[BZ #14543] Set the internal buffer state correctly whenever the external buffer state is modified by fseek by either computing the current _IO_read_ptr/end for the internal buffer based on the new _IO_read_ptr in the external buffer or converting the content read into the external buffer, up to the extent of the requested fseek offset.

2012-09-19rtld: limit self loading check to normal mode onlyDmitry V. Levin
Commit glibc-2.14~10 disallowed rtld self loading to avoid a segfault that used to happen when rtld was loading itself in normal mode. Unfortunately, that commit disallowed all modes of self loading, including those that used to work before. This change limits the check for self loading to normal mode only, so that instruments like ldd could handle rtld properly.

2012-09-05Return requested size for malloc_usable_size when MALLOC_CHECK_ > 0Siddhesh Poyarekar
[BZ #1349] malloc_usable_size returns the usable size in an allocated chunk, which may be >= the requested size. In the case of MALLOC_CHECK_ being exported to > 0 however, only the requested size is usable, since a magic value is written at the end of the request size to trap writes beyond request bounds. Hence, when MALLOC_CHECK_ is exported to > 0, malloc_usable_size() should return the request size.
