2016-03-10Allow spurious underflow / inexact for ldbl-128ibm.Joseph Myers
A large number of the test-ldouble failures seen for ldbl-128ibm are spurious "underflow" and "inexact" exceptions. These arise from such exceptions in the underlying arithmetic; unlike other spurious exceptions from that arithmetic, they do not in general relate to cases where the returned result is also substantially inaccurate, are not so readily avoidable by appropriately conditional libgcc patches, and are widespread enough to be hard to handle through individual XFAILing of the affected tests. Thus, this patch documents relaxed accuracy goals for libm functions for IBM long double and makes libm-test.inc reflect these spurious exceptions in ldbl-128ibm arithmetic and always allow them in ldbl-128ibm testing (while still not allowing these exceptions to be missing where required to be present). Tested for powerpc. * manual/math.texi (Errors in Math Functions): Document relaxed accuracy goals for IBM long double. * math/libm-test.inc (test_exceptions): Always allow spurious "underflow" and "inexact" exceptions for IBM long double.
2016-03-10Add _arch_/_cpu_ to index_*/bit_* in x86 cpu-features.hH.J. Lu
index_* and bit_* macros are used to access cpuid and feature arrays o struct cpu_features. It is very easy to use bits and indices of cpuid array on feature array, especially in assembly codes. For example, sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/bcopy.S has HAS_CPU_FEATURE (Fast_Rep_String) which should be HAS_ARCH_FEATURE (Fast_Rep_String) We change index_* and bit_* to index_cpu_*/index_arch_* and bit_cpu_*/bit_arch_* so that we can catch such error at build time.

2016-03-09mips: terminate the FDE before the return trampoline in makecontextAurelien Jarno
In makecontext the FDE needs to be terminated before the return trampoline otherwise backtrace called within a context created by makecontext yields infinite backtrace. This bug has been present for a long time, stdlib/tst-makecontext did not fail until recent commit e535ce25. Tested on mips-linux-gnu and mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 and mips-linux-gnu, no regression. This fixes stdlib/tst-makecontext on MIPS. Changelog: [BZ #19792] * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/makecontext.S (__makecontext): Terminate FDE before return label.
2016-03-09Fix ldbl-128ibm nearbyintl in non-default rounding modes (bug 19790).Joseph Myers
The ldbl-128ibm implementation of nearbyintl uses logic that only works in round-to-nearest mode. This contrasts with rintl, which works in all rounding modes. Now, arguably nearbyintl could simply be aliased to rintl, given that spurious "inexact" is generally allowed for ldbl-128ibm, even for the underlying arithmetic operations. But given that the only point of nearbyintl is to avoid "inexact", this patch follows the more conservative approach of adding conditionals to the rintl implementation to make it suitable for use to implement nearbyintl, then builds it for nearbyintl with USE_AS_NEARBYINTL defined. The test test-nearbyint-except-2 shows up issues when traps on "inexact" are enabled, which turn out to be problems with the powerpc fenv_private.h implementation (two functions that should disable exception traps potentially failing to do so in some cases); this patch duly fixes that as well (I don't see any other existing cases where this would be user-visible; there isn't much use of *_NOEX, *hold* etc. in libm that requires exceptions to be discarded and not trapped on). Tested for powerpc. [BZ #19790] * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/s_rintl.c [USE_AS_NEARBYINTL] (rintl): Define as macro. [USE_AS_NEARBYINTL] (__rintl): Likewise.

2016-03-08powerpc: Remove uses of operand modifier (%s) in inline asmGabriel F. T. Gomes
The operand modifier %s on powerpc is an undocumented internal implementation detail of GCC. Besides that, the GCC community wants to remove it. This patch rewrites the expressions that use this modifier with logically equivalent expressions that don't require it. Explanation for the substitution: The %s modifier takes an immediate operand and prints 32 less such immediate. Thus, in the previous code, the expression resulted in: 32 - __builtin_ffs(e) where e was guaranteed to have exactly a single bit set, by the following expressions: (e & (e-1) == 0) : e has at most one bit set. (e != 0) : e is not zero, thus it has at least one bit set. Since we guarantee that there is exactly only one bit set, the following statement is true: 32 - __builtin_ffs(e) == __builtin_clz(e) Thus, we can replace __builtin_ffs with __builtin_clz and remove the %s operand modifier.
2016-03-08powerpc: Fix dl-procinfo HWCAPCarlos Eduardo Seo

2016-03-08Fix ldbl-128ibm remainderl equality test for zero low part (bug 19677).Joseph Myers
The ldbl-128ibm implementation of remainderl has logic resulting in incorrect tests for equality of the absolute values of the arguments in the case of zero low parts. If the low parts are both zero but with different signs, this can wrongly cause equal arguments to be treated as different, resulting in turn in incorrect signs of zero result in nondefault rounding modes arising from the subtractions done when the arguments are not equal. This patch fixes the logic to convert -0 low parts into +0 before the comparison (remquo already has separate logic to deal with signs of zero results, so doesn't need such a change). Tests are added for remainderl and remquol similar to that for fmodl, and based on a refactoring of it, since the bug depends on low parts which should not be relied upon in tests not setting the representation explicitly (although in fact the bug shows up in test-ldouble with current GCC). Tested for powerpc. [BZ #19677] * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/e_remainderl.c (__ieee754_remainderl): Put zero low parts in canonical form. * sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm/test-fmodrem-ldbl-128ibm.c: New file.

2016-03-07test-skeleton.c: Do not set RLIMIT_DATA [BZ #19648]Florian Weimer
With older kernels, it is mostly ineffective because it causes malloc to switch from sbrk to mmap (potentially invalidating malloc testing compared to what real appliations do). With newer kernels which have switched to enforcing RLIMIT_DATA for mmap as well, some test cases will fail in an unintended fashion because the limit which was set previously does not include room for all mmap mappings.
2016-03-07posix: New Linux posix_spawn{p} implementationAdhemerval Zanella
This patch implements a new posix_spawn{p} implementation for Linux. The main difference is it uses the clone syscall directly with CLONE_VM and CLONE_VFORK flags and a direct allocated stack. The new stack and start function solves most the vfork limitation (possible parent clobber due stack spilling). The remaning issue are related to signal handling: 1. That no signal handlers must run in child context, to avoid corrupt parent's state. 2. Child must synchronize with parent to enforce stack deallocation and to possible return execv issues. The first one is solved by blocking all signals in child, even NPTL-internal ones (SIGCANCEL and SIGSETXID). The second issue is done by a stack allocation in parent and a synchronization with using a pipe or waitpid (in case or error). The pipe has the advantage of allowing the child signal an exec error (checked with new tst-spawn2 test). There is an inherent race condition in pipe2 usage for architectures that do not support the syscall directly. In such cases the a pipe plus fctnl is used instead and it may lead to file descriptor leak in parent (as decribed by fcntl documentation). The child process stack is allocate with a mmap with MAP_STACK flag using default architecture stack size. Although it is slower than use a stack buffer from parent, it allows some slack for the compatibility code to run scripts with no shebang (which may use a buffer with size depending of argument list count). Performance should be similar to the vfork default posix implementation and way faster than fork path (vfork on mostly linux ports are basically clone with CLONE_VM plus CLONE_VFORK). The only difference is the syscalls required for the stack allocation/deallocation. It fixes BZ#10354, BZ#14750, and BZ#18433. Tested on i386, x86_64, powerpc64le, and aarch64.

2016-03-07posix: execvpe cleanupAdhemerval Zanella
This patch removes all the dynamic allocation on execvpe code and instead use direct stack allocation. This is QoI approach to make it possible use in scenarios where memory is shared with parent (vfork or clone with CLONE_VM). For default process spawn (script file without a shebang), stack allocation is bounded by NAME_MAX plus PATH_MAX plus 1. Large file arguments returns an error (ENAMETOOLONG). This differs than current GLIBC pratice in general, but it used to limit stack allocation for large inputs. Also, path in PATH environment variable larger than PATH_MAX are ignored. The shell direct execution exeception, where execve returns ENOEXEC, might requires a large stack allocation due large input argument list. Tested on i686, x86_64, powerpc64le, and aarch64. * posix/execvpe.c (__execvpe): Remove dynamic allocation. * posix/Makefile (tests): Add tst-execvpe{1,2,3,4,5,6}. * posix/tst-execvp1.c (do_test): Use a macro to call execvp. * posix/tst-execvp2.c (do_test): Likewise. * posix/tst-execvp3.c (do_test): Likewise. * posix/tst-execvp4.c (do_test): Likewise. * posix/tst-execvpe1.c: New file. * posix/tst-execvpe2.c: Likewise. * posix/tst-execvpe3.c: Likewise. * posix/tst-execvpe4.c: Likewise. * posix/tst-execvpe5.c: Likewise. * posix/tst-execvpe6.c: Likewise.
2016-03-07posix: Remove dynamic memory allocation from execl{e,p}Adhemerval Zanella
GLIBC execl{e,p} implementation might use malloc if the total number of arguments exceed initial assumption size (1024). This might lead to issues in two situations: 1. execl/execle is stated to be async-signal-safe by POSIX [1]. However if execl is used in a signal handler with a large argument set (that may call malloc internally) and if the resulting call fails it might lead malloc in the program in a bad state. 2. If the functions are used in a vfork/clone(VFORK) situation it also might issue malloc internal bad state. This patch fixes it by using stack allocation instead. It also fixes BZ#19534.

2016-02-24Enable --localedir to set message catalog directory (Bug 14259)Carlos O'Donell
In 1999 the project split "localedir" into "localedir" (path to compiled locale archives) and "msgcatdir" (path to message catalogs). This predates the 2002 change in the GNU Coding Standard to document the use of "localedir" for the path to the message catalogs. It appears that newlib, gcc, and several other projects also used "msgcatdir" at one point or another in the past, and so it is in line with historical precedent that glibc would also use "msgcatdir." However, given that the GNU Coding Standard uses "localedir", we will switch to that for consistency as a GNU project. Previous uses of --localdir didn't work anyway (see bug 14259). I am committing this patch in the understanding that nobody would object to fixing #14259 as part of aligning our variable usage to the GNU Coding Standard. Given that previous "localedir" uses were converted to "complocaledir" by [1], we can now convert "msgcatdir" to "localedir" and complete the transition. With an addition to config.make.in we also fix bug 14259 and allow users to specify the locale dependent data directory with "--localedir" at configure time. There is still no way to control at configure time the location of the *compiled* locale directory. Tested on x86_64 with no regressions. Tested using "--localedir" to specify alternate locale dependent data directory and verified with "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/glibc". [1] 90fe682d3067163aa773feecf497ef599429457a
