2013-12-19Stop partial menu generation in INSTALL fileAllan McRae
The commit d136c6dc resulted in menu text for the "Top" node being added to the INSTALL file on regeneration. As the full menu is not displayed in the plain text file anyway, suppress the menu section completely to avoid the additional text. Also regenerate the INSTALL file to commit a small formatting change introduced in the same commit.
2013-12-05BZ #15941: Fix INSTALL file regeneration failure with makeinfo 5.xSiddhesh Poyarekar
I have skipped regenerating the INSTALL file because we want to continue using the 4.x generator for now.
2013-10-30rename configure.in to configure.acMike Frysinger
Autoconf has been deprecating configure.in for quite a long time. Rename all our configure.in and preconfigure.in files to .ac. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
2013-09-28Revert "Remove references to non-existent content items in install.texi"Allan McRae
This reverts commit 583c76a7ce305d24e0625a22caed317b3e001d91 which breaks building info pages during "make install". Conflicts: ChangeLog
2013-09-27Remove references to non-existent content items in install.texiAllan McRae
These were left in when the installation section was split out into its own file.
2013-09-10Update pt_chown sections of the manualAllan McRae
The pt-chown binary is discussed in the "Running make install" section without clarification of the needed configure option. Clarify this and simplfy the discription which is already covered in the "Configuring and compiling" section.

2013-07-21CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown.Carlos O'Donell
The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another user's pseudo-terminal. Pre-conditions for the attack: * Attacker with local user account * Kernel with FUSE support * "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf * Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current user does not own. It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however. In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own risk.
2013-07-02Add a configure option to enable lock elision and disable by defaultAndi Kleen
Can be enabled with --enable-lock-elision=yes at configure time.

2012-05-04Revert "Update install.texi for building manual in build dir"Andreas Jaeger
This reverts commit 0d80ac6813e3bf21fad6d87202e9efe6d0c17a82. Reverting since e3945c47bdac1149a1fec5d46bd567a248cd17b9 gets reverted as well.
