Without this change, in the info file output, Texinfo 5 quotes code
in text with undirected single quotes 'like this' and generates
code examples that with many PDF readers cannot be cut out of PDFs
and pasted into code.
* manual/libc.texinfo: Configure the libc manual like the GNU
Emacs manual, by using @documentencoding and setting
txicodequoteundirected and txicodequotebacktick. This way,
Texinfo 5 quotes code in text with directed single quotes ‘like
this’ and produces examples that can be cut out of PDFs. This
change causes Texinfo 5 to generate info files that contain UTF-8
characters in the set {'‘', '’', '“', '”', 'Ä', 'ä', 'ö', '−',
'–', '—', '©', '⇒', '•', '…'}, which is OK nowadays.

Various Linux kernel syscalls have become obsolete over time.
Specifically, the following are obsolete in all kernel versions
supported by glibc, are not present for architectures more recently
added to the kernel, and as such, the wrapper functions for them
should be compat symbols, not in static libc and not available for new
links with shared libc.
* bdflush: in Linux 2.6, does nothing if present.
* create_module get_kernel_syms query_module: Linux 2.4 module
interface, syscalls not present in Linux 2.6.
* uselib: part of the mechanism for loading a.out shared libraries,
irrelevant with ELF.
This patch adds support for syscalls.list to list syscall aliases of
the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED, with SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals being
generated for such aliases. Those five syscalls are then made into
compat symbols (obsoleted in glibc 2.23, so future ports won't have
these symbols at all), with the header <sys/kdaemon.h> declaring
bdflush being removed. When we move to 3.2 as minimum kernel version,
the same can be done for nfsservctl (removed in Linux 3.1) as well.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, as well as checking that the
symbols in question indeed become compat symbols, that they are indeed
omitted from static libc, and that the generated SHLIB_COMPAT
conditionals look right).
[BZ #18472]
* sysdeps/unix/Makefile ($(objpfx)stub-syscalls.c): Handle entries
for the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED and generate SHLIB_COMPAT
conditionals for them.
* sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh (emit_weak_aliases): Likewise.

* manual/examples/strncat.c: Remove.
This example was misleading, as the code would have undefined
behavior if "hello" was longer than SIZE. Anyway, the manual
shouldn't encourage strncpy+strncat for this sort of thing.
* manual/string.texi (Copying Strings and Arrays): Split into
three sections Copying Strings and Arrays, Concatenating Strings,
and Truncating Strings, as this section was way too long. All
cross-referenced changed. Add advice about string-truncation
functions. Remove misleading strncat example.

NSS modules which can run in disconnected modes should
return NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND and SUCCESS in order to follow
best practice for such modules and ensure user applications
can have these modules configured without causing problems
if the data sources are not connected.
|
|
* manual/string.texi (Copying and Concatenation): Fix typos in
sample implementations of strncat and wcsncat, by having them use
the old value of the destination length, not the new one.
|
|
* manual/string.texi (String and Array Utilities):
Distinguish more carefully among bytes, multibyte characters,
and wide characters. Use "byte" when talking about C 'char',
to distinguish it more clearly from multibyte characters.
Say "wide character" or "multibyte character" instead of
"character", when a wide or multibyte character is intended.
Similarly for "multibyte string" versus "string".
Define these terms more carefully.

With current kernel versions, the check does not reliably detect that
unavailable CPUs are requested, for these reasons:
(1) The kernel will silently ignore non-allowed CPUs, that is, CPUs
which are physically present but disallowed for the thread
based on system configuration.
(2) Similarly, CPU bits which lack an online CPU (possible CPUs)
are ignored.
(3) The existing probing code assumes that the CPU mask size is a
power of two and at least 1024. Neither has it to be a power
of two, nor is the minimum possible value 1024, so the value
determined is often too large. This means that the CPU set
size check in glibc accepts CPU bits beyond the actual hard
system limit.
(4) Future kernel versions may not even have a fixed CPU set size.
After the removal of the probing code, the kernel still returns
EINVAL if no CPU in the requested set remains which can run the
thread after the affinity change.
Applications which care about the exact affinity mask will have
to query it using sched_getaffinity after setting it. Due to the
effects described above, this commit does not change this.
The new tests supersede tst-getcpu, which is removed. This
addresses bug 19164 because the new tests allocate CPU sets
dynamically.

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.

The argument order for posix_fallocate64 in the manual
was wrong, it was listed as [fd, len, offset] when it
should have been [fd, offset, len].
Verified io/fcntl.h has the right argument order, and it
does. Verified generated PDF.
|
|
In the posix_fallocate description in the manual we list various
drawbacks with the emulation, including the fact that a file opened
with O_APPEND fails with EBADF. Similarly a file opened with O_WRONLY
fails with EBADF. We must be able to emulate a compare-and-swap via
pread/compare/pwrite in order to make the emulation as safe as possible.
It is not acceptable to ignore the read failure because it could result
in significant data loss across all of the blocks. There is no other way
to make this work without a true atomic CAS and SIGBUS handler (which
is looking more attractive as a way to remove the race condition).
This patch adds O_WRONLY to the manual as another bullet to clarify the
limits of the emulation.
Manual looks good in PDF.

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.

Do not try to generate the manual when perl is unavailable. This
matches the behavior when makeinfo is unavailable. Otherwise the
install step fails when trying to generate the libm section since

I was told that Ma Shimao submitted a patch to add envz_remove to the
libc manual, but the patch could not be accepted since he does not
have a copyright assignment in place. I have been woefully behind on
libc-alpha recently and have not seen the patch or the discussion
thread. I have also not read the man page for envz_remove, so
Alexandre Oliva asked me if I could write this independently and post
a patch. The patch below is the result of the same - I have written
it based on the implementation in string/envz.c and Alex told me via
email that the function is AS, AC and MT-safe like envz_strip.
I assume Alex and Carlos cannot review this since they have been
tainted by the original patch (I haven't even tried to look for a link
to it since I don't want to be tainted) so someone else will have to
review this. If there are no reviewers till the end of the week, I
will commit this since I believe there is a chance that there are no
other reviewers who haven't read that thread.

The manual gives "an example showing how to handle failure to open a
file correctly." The example function, open_sesame, uses the
newly-introduced strerror function and errno and
program_invocation_short_name variables. It fails to specify GNU
extensions, however, so attempts to use it in the following way:
int main (void) {open_sesame ("badname");}
fail during compilation with "error: ‘program_invocation_short_name’
undeclared", indicating the example is incomplete. The presence of
"#include"s suggest everything neccesary for the function to work should
be present. For completeness, the example is lacking the following line:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
as the declarations of program_invocation_*name in errno.h are wrapped
in an "#ifdef __USE_GNU" conditional.
The documentation of the variables is also expanded, adding that their
definition lies in errno.h and noting specifically they are GNU
extensions.

Mentioning systems that are old and don't support C89 is probably

This patch refines the math.texi documentation of the goals for when
libm function raise the inexact and underflow exceptions. The
previous text was problematic in some cases around the underflow
threshold.
* Strictly, it would have meant that if the mathematical result of pow
was very slightly below DBL_MIN, for example, it was required to
raise the underflow exception; although normally a few ulps error
would be OK, if that error meant the computed value was slightly
above DBL_MIN it would fail the previously described underflow
exception goal.
* Similarly, strict IEEE semantics would imply that sin (DBL_MIN), in
round-to-nearest mode, underflows on before-rounding but not
after-rounding architectures, while returning DBL_MIN; the previous
wording would have required an underflow exception, so preventing
checks for a result with absolute value below DBL_MIN from being
sufficient checks to determine whether the exception is required.
(Under the previous wording, checks for a result with absolute value
<= DBL_MIN wouldn't have been sufficient either, because in
FE_TOWARDZERO mode a result of DBL_MIN definitely does not result
from an underflowing infinite-precision result.)
* The previous wording about rounding infinite-precision values could
be taken to mean all exceptions including "inexact" must be
consistent with some such value. That would mean that a result of
DBL_MIN in FE_UPWARD mode with "inexact" raised must also have
"underflow" raised on before-rounding architectures. Again, that
would cause problems for computing a result (possibly with spurious
"inexact" exceptions) and then using a rounding-mode-independent
test for results with absolute value below DBL_MIN to determine
whether an underflow exception must be forced in case the underflows
from intermediate computations happened to be exact.
By refining the documentation, this patch avoids stating goals for
accuracy close to the underflow threshold that were stricter than
applied anywhere else, and allows the implementation strategy of:
compute a result within a few ulps, taking care to avoid underflows in
intermediate computations, then force an underflow exception if that
result was subnormal. Only fully-defined functions such as fma need
to take greater care about the exact underflow threshold (including
its dependence on whether the architecture is before-rounding or
after-rounding, and on the rounding mode on after-rounding
architectures).
(If the rounding mode is changed as part of the computation, it's
still necessary to ensure that not just intermediate computations, but
the final computation of the result to be returned, do not raise
underflow if that result is the least normal value and underflow would
be inconsistent with the original rounding mode. Since such code can
readily discard exceptions as part of saving and restoring the
rounding mode - SET_RESTORE_ROUND_NOEX etc. - I don't think that
should be a problem in practice.)

Under certain conditions on the size of the array and its items,
qsort() may fall back to an in-place quicksort if it cannot allocate
memory for a temporary array with malloc(). This algorithm is not a
stable sort even if the comparison function is written in the
described manner.

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.
(+gccwarn-c): Do not use -Werror=implicit-function-declaration.
* manual/install.texi (Configuring and compiling): Document
--disable-werror.
* INSTALL: Regenerated.
* debug/Makefile (CFLAGS-tst-chk1.c): Add -Wno-error.
(CFLAGS-tst-chk2.c): Likewise.
(CFLAGS-tst-chk3.c): Likewise.
(CFLAGS-tst-chk4.cc): Likewise.

* manual/sysinfo.texi (addmntent): It is actually MT-Safe,
because the potential race is on the user-supplied stream.

* sysdeps/posix/ctermid.c (ctermid): Return a pointer to a
string literal if not passed a buffer.
* manual/job.texi (ctermid): Update reasoning, note deviation
from posix, suggest mtasurace when not passed a buffer, for
future non-preliminary safety notes.
