2015-12-02Use shell's builtin pwd.Ludovic Courtès
Insisting on /bin/pwd is unnecessary nowadays. Autoconf-generated scripts have been using the shell's built-in "pwd" for a long time.`
2015-11-27Rename localedir to complocaledir (bug 14259).Carlos O'Donell
In preparation to fix the --localedir configure argument we must move the existing conflicting definition of localedir to a more appropriate name. Given that all current internal uses of localedir relate to the compiled locales we rename to complocaledir.

2015-11-06Remove configure tests for some linker -z options.Joseph Myers
There are configure tests for the linker -z nodelete, -z nodlopen and -z initfirst options. These options were added in binutils 2.11, so the tests are obsolete; this patch removes them. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_z_nodelete): Remove configure test. (libc_cv_z_nodlopen): Likewise. (libc_cv_z_initfirst): Likewise. * configure: Regenerated.
2015-11-03Remove --no-whole-archive configure test.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test for the --no-whole-archive linker option. This option was added in binutils 2.7, so the test is obsolete; this patch removes it. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_ld_no_whole_archive): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated.
2015-11-02Remove init_array / fini_array configure test.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test "for .preinit_array/.init_array/.fini_array support". Support for this feature was added in binutils 2.13, so the configure test is obsolete; this patch removes it. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_initfini_array): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated.
2015-10-29Remove configure tests for visibility support.Joseph Myers
There are various configure tests for visibility support in the compiler and assember. GCC support for visibility attributes was added in GCC 3.3. I don't know what specific fix was intended by the test "for broken __attribute__((visibility())", but it was added by <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2002-08/msg00030.html>, and GCC 3.3 appears not to have that breakage, so I suspect it was only ever in development versions before 3.3 was released. The assembler support was added in binutils 2.10. This patch removes the tests in question as obsolete. Two tests that were formerly conditional on "if test $libc_cv_visibility_attribute = yes", including the one for linker support for protected data, are now unconditional. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_protected_directive): Remove configure test. (libc_cv_visibility_attribute): Likewise. (libc_cv_protected_data): Test unconditionally. (libc_cv_broken_visibility_attribute): Remove configure test. (libc_cv_have_sdata_section): Test unconditionally. * configure: Regenerated.
2015-10-27Use -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu99.Joseph Myers
Now that GCC 4.7 or later is required to build glibc, this patch moves the build from using -std=gnu99 to -std=gnu11 (option added in 4.7). This allows use of C11 features from GCC's headers, such as new float.h macros and max_align_t. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite; installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch on x86_64, while I see some slight code reordering of no significance on x86). * Makeconfig (CFLAGS): Use -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu99. * Makefile ($(objpfx)c++-types-check.out): Filter out -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu99. * configure.ac (systemtap): Test with -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu99. * configure: Regenerated. * math/gen-auto-libm-tests.c: Use -std=gnu11 instead of -std=gnu99 in compilation command in comment.
2015-10-27Remove sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac.Joseph Myers
sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac tests for forced unwind support and the C cleanup attribute, giving errors if either is unsupported. It does nothing beyond running those two tests. Both the attribute, and _Unwind_GetCFA which is used in the forced unwind test, were added in GCC 3.3. Thus these tests are long obsolete, and this patch removes the configure fragment running them, along with associated conditionals. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac: Remove file. * sysdeps/nptl/configure: Remove generated file. * configure.ac (libc_cv_forced_unwind): Do not substitute. * configure: Regenerated. * config.h.in (HAVE_FORCED_UNWIND): Remove #undef. * config.make.in (have-forced-unwind): Remove variable. * nptl/Makefile [$(have-forced-unwind) = yes]: Make code unconditional. * nptl/descr.h [HAVE_FORCED_UNWIND]: Likewise. * nptl/unwind.c [HAVE_FORCED_UNWIND]: Likewise. (__pthread_unwind) [!HAVE_FORCED_UNWIND]: Remove conditional code. * nptl/version.c [HAVE_FORCED_UNWIND]: Make code unconditional. * sysdeps/nptl/Makefile [$(have-forced-unwind) = yes]: Make code unconditional.
2015-10-27Require GCC 4.7 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers
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.
2015-10-27Remove TLS configure tests.Joseph Myers
There seemed to be support in response to <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-10/msg00510.html> for removing configure tests that exist only to produce errors, where we expect that tool versions failing the tests would also fail the tests of minimum GCC / binutils versions. This patch removes the tests for TLS support as one instance of such tests. Since the addition of TLS emulation support in GCC 4.3, I don't think these tests would have failed even if proper TLS support (as required by glibc) was missing in that architecture's GCC back end, so any new glibc ports wanting a substantive test (if there are actual GCC or binutils versions for those architectures, with supported version numbers, missing TLS support) would have needed an architecture-specific test anyway. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_gcc___thread): Remove configure test. (libc_cv_gcc_tls_model_attr): Likewise. * configure: Regenerated.
2015-10-27Remove configure test for needing -P for .S files.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test for "whether we need to use -P to assemble .S files". I think this test is long obsolete. I don't have a specific reference to a binutils change or version that obsoleted this test, but: (a) we only support GNU binutils; (b) it looks like every architecture supported by glibc has '#' as a line comment character in its gas port; (c) in any case, if the (compiler, assembler) combination in use cannot compile a .S file without special options, that would clearly be a substantially broken combination, which I don't think we need to allow for at all. The test in question was added by: Thu Jan 27 16:46:03 1994 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * configure.in (asm-CPPFLAGS): Add new check to see if assembling a .S file loses without -P. If so, set asm-CPPFLAGS=-P in config.make. This patch removes the test and the reference to this issue in the comment on the default empty definition of asm-CPPFLAGS. (Various other settings of asm-CPPFLAGS remain in sysdeps Makefile fragments.) Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_need_minus_P): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * Makeconfig (asm-CPPFLAGS): Remove reference to -P in comment.
2015-10-26Remove support for removing glibc 2.0 headers.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test for the presence of glibc 2.0 headers (that were renamed / no longer installed in glibc 2.1) and associated support for removing them on "make install". Normal practice for subsequent removal / renaming of installed files has been not to do anything special about removing them; if you want installed files from an old installation removed reliably, you need to use a packaging system that tracks what files were installed by a previous glibc package (via installing in an intermediate directory with install_root). I think it's been long enough since 2.0 that it's not particularly useful to have that special logic for those old headers either; this patch removes it. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (old_glibc_headers): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * config.make.in (old-glibc-headers): Remove variable. * Makefile [!$(install_root) && $(old-glibc-headers) = yes] (install): Remove dependency on remove-old-headers. (headers2_0): Remove variable. (remove-old-headers): Remove rule.
2015-10-26Remove configure test for assembler .text directive.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test for assembler support for the .text directive. I suppose this test must have been aimed at some non-ELF platform or non-GNU assembler. Certainly the GNU assembler has had ELF-specific architecture-independent handling for .text since version 2.2, and generic non-ELF-specific support predates that. This patch removes this test as obsolete. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_dot_text): Remove configure test. (libc_cv_asm_set_directive): Use .text instead of ${libc_cv_dot_text} in configure test. * configure: Regenerated.
2015-10-26Use the CXX compiler only if it can create dynamic and static programsFlorian Weimer
* configure.ac (CXX): Clear the variable if the C++ toolchain does not support static linking. * configure: Regenerate.
2015-10-19Remove gnu_unique_object configure test.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test for assembler support for the gnu_unique_object symbol type. This support was added in binutils 2.20, so is present in all versions supported for building glibc. Thus, I think the configure test can be removed; this patch does so. Now, there is a caveat that the gas NEWS entry refers to this as a feature for GNU/Linux targets. But the condition is use of ELFOSABI_GNU or ELFOSABI_NONE. ELFOSABI_GNU covers Hurd as well as GNU/Linux (as was the case with the older ELFOSABI_LINUX name), and ELFOSABI_NONE means this is effectively OS-independent. Furthermore, I think a correct binutils port for any glibc target ought to support this feature for use with glibc; glibc supports this as an OS-independent feature (the configure test is only about glibc testcases). Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_unique_object): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * config.h.in (HAVE_ASM_UNIQUE_OBJECT): Remove #undef. * elf/tst-unique1.c (do_test) [HAVE_ASM_UNIQUE_OBJECT]: Make code unconditional. * elf/tst-unique1mod1.c [HAVE_ASM_UNIQUE_OBJECT]: Likewise. * elf/tst-unique1mod2.c [HAVE_ASM_UNIQUE_OBJECT]: Likewise. * elf/tst-unique2.c (do_test) [HAVE_ASM_UNIQUE_OBJECT]: Likewise. (do_test) [!HAVE_ASM_UNIQUE_OBJECT]: Remove conditional code. * elf/tst-unique2mod1.c [HAVE_ASM_UNIQUE_OBJECT]: Make code unconditional. * elf/tst-unique2mod2.c [HAVE_ASM_UNIQUE_OBJECT]: Likewise.
2015-10-19use -fstack-protector-strong when availableMike Frysinger
With gcc-4.9, a new -fstack-protector-strong flag is available that is between -fstack-protector (pretty weak) and -fstack-protector-all (pretty strong) that provides good trade-offs between overhead but still providing good coverage. Update the places in glibc that use ssp to use this flag when it's available. This also kills off the indirection of hardcoding the flag name in the Makefiles and adding it based on a have-ssp boolean. Instead, the build always expands the $(stack-protector) variable to the best ssp setting. This makes the build logic a bit simpler and allows people to easily set to a diff flag like: make stack-protector=-fstack-protector-all

2015-10-19Remove -fgnu89-inline configure test.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test for -fgnu89-inline. This option was added in GCC 4.2, so the test is obsolete; this patch removes it. Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_gnu89_inline): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * config.make.in (gnu89-inline-CFLAGS): Remove variable. * Makeconfig (CFLAGS): Use -fgnu89-inline instead of $(gnu89-inline-CFLAGS).
2015-10-19Remove .weak, .weakext configure tests.Joseph Myers
There are configure tests for assembler .weak support, and, as a fallback, for .weakext support. .weakext appears to be an ECOFF thing (although a few ELF targets support it as well). .weak has been supported by the GNU assembler for ELF targets since version 2.2, so given the requirement for ELF the configure tests are obsolete; this patch removes them. Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_weak_directive): Remove configure test. (libc_cv_asm_weakext_directive): Likewise. * configure: Regenerated. * config.h.in (HAVE_ASM_WEAK_DIRECTIVE): Remove #undef.

Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_Bgroup): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * config.make.in (have-Bgroup): Remove variable.
2015-10-15Remove sizeof (long double) configure test.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test for sizeof (long double) whose results aren't used anywhere. This patch removes that test. Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (sizeof_long_double): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * config.make.in (sizeof-long-double): Remove variable.
2015-10-15Remove -fexceptions configure test.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test for -fexceptions. This option was added in GCC 2.8, so the test is obsolete - and indeed plenty of code is using -fexceptions directly. This patch removes the configure test and makes all uses of $(exceptions) use -fexceptions directly. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_gcc_exceptions): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/arm/configure.ac (libc_cv_gcc_exceptions): Do not set variable.

2015-10-15Remove .previous, .popsection configure tests.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test for the assembler .previous directive, and, as a fallback, for .popsection. glibc now only supports ELF. For ELF, the GNU assembler has supported .previous since version 2.2 (support added by Mon Jul 19 15:21:20 1993 Ken Raeburn (raeburn@rtl.cygnus.com) * config/obj-elf.c (obj_elf_previous): New function. (previous_section, previous_subsection): New vars. (obj_elf_section): Save current place in case DWARF code wants us to pop back to it. Handle unquoted section name as well as quoted section name. Don't crash on invalid strings. (obj_pseudo_table): Handle new pseudos "previous", "2byte", and "4byte". ). Thus this configure test is obsolete, and this patch removes it (and with it the fallback .popsection test). Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_previous_directive): Remove configure test.

2015-10-15Remove -static-libgcc configure test.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test for -static-libgcc. GCC added this option in version 3.0, so this test is obsolete; this patch removes it.

2015-10-15Remove stddef.h configure test.Joseph Myers
There is a configure test "for libc-friendly stddef.h", which sets a makefile variable stddef.h that appears to be nowhere used. It appears the uses of this variable were removed by: Tue Feb 21 00:10:50 1995 Roland McGrath <roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu> * Makefile (headers): Remove $(stddef.h). * Makeconfig (stddef.h): Variable removed; now require gcc version >= 2.2. * stddef.h: File removed. (having been added by Wed May 26 14:44:19 1993 Roland McGrath (roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu) * configure.in (autoconf checks): Add new check for a libc-friendly stddef.h. so the test was of use for less than two years, before being obsolete for over 20 years). This patch removes the test. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * configure.ac (libc_cv_friendly_stddef): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated.

2015-09-18timezone: add a configure flag to disable program installMike Frysinger
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.
2015-06-25Support compilers defaulting to PIEH.J. Lu
To support building glibc with GCC 6 configured with --enable-default-pie, which generates PIE by default, we need to build programs as PIE. But elf/tst-dlopen-aout must not be built as PIE since it tests dlopen on ET_EXEC file and PIE is ET_DYN. [BZ #17841] * Makeconfig (no-pie-ldflag): New. (+link): Set to $(+link-pie) if default to PIE. (+link-tests): Set to $(+link-pie-tests) if default to PIE. * config.make.in (build-pie-default): New. * configure.ac (libc_cv_pie_default): New. Set to yes if -fPIE is default. AC_SUBST. * configure: Regenerated. * elf/Makefile (LDFLAGS-tst-dlopen-aout): New.

2014-12-22Require bison 2.7 or newer for regenerating intl/plural.yWill Newton
The merge of the latest gettext code introduced changes to the yacc parser source that are incompatible with versions of bison older than 2.7. Add a configure check for the appropriate versions and document the requirement in INSTALL. ChangeLog: 2014-12-22 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> * manual/install.texi: Document that we require bison 2.7 or above. * INSTALL: Regenerate. * configure.ac: Use AC_CHECK_PROG_VER instead of AC_PATH_PROG when checking for bison and check for version 2.7 or above. * configure: Regenerate.

2014-12-10Use -Werror by default, add --disable-werror.Joseph Myers
As discussed starting at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-11/msg00323.html>, this patch makes the glibc build use -Werror by default to avoid accidentally adding new warnings to the build. The configure option --disable-werror can be used to disable this. -Wno-error=undef is temporarily used because the build isn't clean regarding -Wundef warnings. The idea is that once the remaining -Wundef warnings have been cleaned up (in at least one configuration), -Wno-error=undef will be removed. I get a clean build and test on x86_64 (GCC 4.9 branch) with this patch. The expectation is that this may well break the build for some other configurations, and people seeing such breakage should make appropriate fixes to fix or suppress the warnings for their configurations. In some cases that may involve using pragmas as the right fix (I think that will be right for the -Wno-inline issue for MIPS I referred to in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-11/msg00798.html>, for example), in some cases -Wno-error in sysdeps makefiles (__restore_rt in MIPS sigaction, for example), in some cases substantive fixes for the warnings. Note that if, with a view to listing all the warnings then fixing them all, you just look for "warning:" in output from building and testing with --disable-werror, you'll see lots of warnings from the linker about functions such as tmpnam. Those warnings can be ignored - only compiler warnings are relevant to -Werror, not linker warnings. * configure.ac (--disable-werror): New configure option. (enable_werror): New AC_SUBST. * configure: Regenerated. * config.make.in (enable-werror): New variable. * Makeconfig [$(enable-werror) = yes] (+gccwarn): Add -Werror -Wno-error=undef.

2014-11-14Require GCC 4.6 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers
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.

2014-09-16Remove bitrotten --enable-oldest-abi (bug 6652).Joseph Myers
This patch removes the --enable-oldest-abi configure option, which has long been bitrotten (as reported in bug 6652). The principle of removing this option was agreed in the thread starting at <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-07/msg00174.html>. Tested for x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries other than libc.so are unchanged by this patch and that libc.so disassembly and symbol versions are unchanged (debug info changes because of changed line numbers in csu/version.c). [BZ #6652] * Makeconfig (soversions-default-setname): Remove variable.

2014-09-12Remove configuration name patterns from shlib-versions.Joseph Myers
This patch removes the first column (patterns matching configuration names) from shlib-versions, leaving shlib-versions entry selection based purely on sysdeps directories. An implication of this removal is that the default for any non-Linux ports using NPTL will be the same SONAMEs for NPTL libraries as for Linux (as those defaults, previously limited to .*-.*-linux.*, are left in nptl/shlib-versions and nptl_db/shlib-versions). Special host_os handling in configure.ac that was purely for shlib-versions is removed. (The host_os setting is still used for libc-abis - see <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00375.html> regarding that - but no entries there are affected by this change.) Tested on x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries are unchanged by this patch. * scripts/soversions.awk: Do not handle configuration names. * Makeconfig ($(common-objpfx)soversions.i): Do not pass cpu, vendor and os variables to soversions.awk. * configure.ac: Do not modify gnu-* host_os. * configure: Regenerated * shlib-versions: Remove first column with configuration names. * nptl/shlib-versions: Likewise. * nptl_db/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/hppa/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/m68k/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/mach/hurd/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/m68k/coldfire/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/microblaze/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sh/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc32/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/shlib-versions: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/shlib-versions: Likewise. libidn/ChangeLog: * shlib-versions: Remove first column with configuration names.
2014-08-12detect broken linker handling of __ehdr_startMike Frysinger
Older versions of ld on ia64 support __ehdr_start, but generate relocs when they shouldn't. This causes the ld.so to not run because it tries to resolve the __ehdr_start symbol (but it's not exported).

2014-06-27Remove relro configure test.Joseph Myers
This patch removes the configure test for working -z relro. The use of -z relro in Makeconfig became unconditional with commit 2e6ab1df44c412bb9d30b26a4d8a679150a7e375 Author: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Date: Sat Oct 28 06:44:04 2006 +0000 Remove conditional code which now is unnecessary. (commit reference from git://repo.or.cz/glibc/history), so since then the configure test has not controlled anything about how glibc is built - simply about whether configure succeeds and allows a build to be attempted. The test for whether the option did something useful (as opposed to whether it exists - which we can certainly just assume by now) was originally added in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2004-09/msg00069.html> to disable the option in a case when it did nothing useful on ia64 (as a result of something deliberate in the linker on ia64). Since 2006 that disabling has been of no effect, and given that the current test does not set libc_relro_required for ia64, it does nothing whatever useful for the original motivating case. Also at around the same time in 2006 the test was made to give an error for missing or broken -z relro support on various architectures. So effectively all the test does now is verify that, on certain architectures, the linker has not been changed deliberately to make the option ineffective. I see no apparent reason why such a change should be expected, or why the build should be stopped if it were to be made (any more than we disallow build on ia64); I think we can trust binutils patch review to point out the consequences of any change to COMMONPAGESIZE setting. The only thing that might now make sense would be disabling the -z relro use on an architecture-specific basis if there were an architecture-specific reason to consider that to make sense; it would be for the ia64 maintainer to decide if that makes sense for ia64 at present, but I think that could be done through sysdeps Makefiles - no special configure tests needed. Tested for x86_64 that this patch makes no change to the installed shared libraries. Together with <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00788.html> (pending review) this substantially eliminates architecture-specific cases from architecture-independent configure.ac files. There remains an i386 case in sysdeps/mach/hurd/configure.ac that should properly move to the i386 subdirectory. (There are also OS-specific cases outside OS-specific directories; in principle I think should should also move.) * configure.ac (libc_commonpagesize): Remove variable. (libc_relro_required): Likewise. (libc_cv_z_relro): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/aarch64/preconfigure (libc_commonpagesize): Do not set variable.

2014-06-26Remove powerpc special cases in configure.ac.Joseph Myers
This patch removes two powerpc special cases in the main configure.ac. The test for rs6000 is irrelevant to currently supported configurations (config.guess reports rs6000 for some OSes, of which the only one currently supported by GCC is AIX, but not for Linux). There's no need either for a special case for powerpc*-*soft; --without-fp suffices, and GCC doesn't have any special handling of such a triplet. Not tested. * configure.ac: Do not test for machine being rs6000. Do not test for powerpc*-*soft. * configure: Regenerated.
2014-06-26Remove configure tests for assembler CFI support.Joseph Myers
This patch removes configure tests for assembler CFI support (and thereby eliminates an architecture-specific case in the main configure.ac), instead assuming that support is present unconditionally. The main test was added in 2003 around the time CFI support was added to the assembler. cfi_personality and cfi_lsda support were added to the assembler in 2006. cfi_sections support was added in 2009, a few weeks before binutils 2.20 was released; it's in 2.20, the minimum supported version, so even that configure test is obsolete. Tested x86_64 that the installed shared libraries are unchanged by this patch. * configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_cfi_directives): Remove configure test. * configure: Regenerated. * config.h.in (HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES): Remove macro undefine. * sysdeps/arm/configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_cfi_directive_sections): Remove configure test. * sysdeps/arm/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/nptl/configure.ac: Do not check libc_cv_asm_cfi_directives. * sysdeps/nptl/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/configure.ac: Remove file. * sysdeps/x86_64/nptl/configure: Remove generated file. * b/sysdeps/generic/sysdep.h [HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES]: Make code unconditional.
