2009-07-27Refine testing for xmm/ymm register use in x86-64 ld.so.Ulrich Drepper
The test now takes the callgraph into account. Only code called during runtime relocation is affected by the limitation. We now determine the affected object files as closely as possible from the outside. This allowed to remove some the specializations for some of the string functions as they are only used in other code paths.
2009-07-27Define and implement RES_USE_DNSSEC option in resolver.Adam Tkac
2009-07-27Fix STB_GNU_UNIQUE handling for > 30 unique symbols.Jakub Jelinek
There were several issues when the initial 31 entries hashtab filled up. size * 3 <= tab->n_elements is always false, table can't have more elements than its size. I assume from libiberty/hashtab.c this meant to be check for 3/4 full. Even after fixing that, _dl_higher_prime_number (31) apparently returns 31, only _dl_higher_prime_number (32) returns 61. And, size variable wasn't updated during reallocation, which means during reallocation the insertion of the new entry was done into a wrong spot. All this lead to a hang in ld.so, because a search with n_elements 31 size 31 wouldn't ever terminate.
2009-07-27No need for special strcmp for rtld.Ulrich Drepper

2009-07-26Make sure no code in ld.so uses xmm/ymm registers on x86-64.Ulrich Drepper
This patch introduces a test to make sure no function modifies the xmm/ymm registers. With the exception of the auditing functions. The test is probably too pessimistic. All code linked into ld.so is checked. Perhaps at some point the callgraph starting from _dl_fixup and _dl_profile_fixup is checked and we can start using faster SSE-using functions in parts of ld.so.
2009-07-26Add missing ChangeLog entry for last checkin.Ulrich Drepper
2009-07-26Compatibility of signalfd/eventfd with older kernels.Ulrich Drepper
2009-07-26Handle SERVFAIL, NOTIMP, REFUSED replies from DNS server better.Ulrich Drepper
When doing IPv4+6 lookups we have to pass up the error record from send_dg.

2009-07-25Some some optimizations for x86-64 strcmp.H.J. Lu
2009-07-25Handle missing NSS modules and those without callbacks.Ulrich Drepper
getaddrinfo didn't update the status variable in that round of the loop if no callback was used.
2009-07-25Optimize x86-64 SSE4.2 strcmp.Ulrich Drepper
The file contained some code which was never used. Don't compile it in.
2009-07-24Don't automatically use /lib/modules/* headers.Ulrich Drepper
Ever since the /usr/include/linux headers got cleaned up this isn't necessary. Meanwhile everybody should have these cleanups.
2009-07-24S/390: Hardware iconv modules.Andreas Krebbel
2009-07-23Avoid cpuid instructions in cache info discovery.Ulrich Drepper
When multiarch is enabled we have this information stored. Use it.
2009-07-23Add more cache descriptors for L3 caches on x86 and x86-64.Ulrich Drepper
The most recent AP 485 describes a few more cache descriptors for L3 caches with 24-way associativity.
2009-07-23Perform test for Arom x86-64 in central place and handle it.Ulrich Drepper
There will be more than one function which, in multiarch mode, wants to use SSSE3. We should not test in each of them for Atoms with slow SSSE3. Instead, disable the SSSE3 bit in the startup code for such machines.
2009-07-23Avoid warnings in test cases.Ulrich Drepper
The posix/tst-rfc3484* test cases caused warnings in newer gccs because the unused but copied sin_zero part of sockaddr_in wasn't explicitly initialized.
2009-07-23Make include/unistd.h suitable for C++ test cases.Duncan Simpson

2009-07-23Preserve stack alignment in i386 makecontext.Ulrich Drepper
2009-07-23Some more fixes for the unique symbol handling.Ulrich Drepper
The hash value can be zero, so we need a different test for empty slots. And unify the way we prevent a DSO from being unloaded.

2009-07-21Minor cleanups in x86-64 strstr.Ulrich Drepper
2009-07-20Better check for optimization in new x86-64 strstr/strcasestr.Ulrich Drepper
2009-07-20SSE4.2 strstr/strcasestr for x86-64.H.J. Lu
This patch implements SSE4.2 strstr/strcasestr, using Knuth-Morris-Pratt string searching algorithm.
2009-07-20Check generated locale for non-ASCII 8-bit characters with case conversion.Ulrich Drepper
If a locale does not have 8-bit characters with case conversion which are different from the ASCII conversion (±0x20) then we can perform some optimizations. These will follow later.

2009-07-17Revert "Fix lock handling in memory hander of nscd."Ulrich Drepper

2009-07-17Add missing BZ number in ChangeLog.Ulrich Drepper
2009-07-16Handle overly large answer buffers in resolver.Ulrich Drepper
In EDNS0 records the maximum result size is transmitted in a 16 bit value. Large buffer sizes were handled incorrectly by using only the low 16 bits. Fix this by limiting the size to 0xffff.
2009-07-16Fix lock handling in memory hander of nscd.Petr Baudis
The commit 20e498bd removes the pthread_mutex_rdlock() calls, but not the corresponding pthread_mutex_unlock() calls. Also, the database lock is never unlocked in one branch of the mempool_alloc() if. I think unreproducible random assert(dh->usable) crashes in prune_cache() were caused by this. But an easy way to make nscd threads hang with the broken locking was.
2009-07-16Use correct release semantic in list update.Andreas Schwab
nscd uses lockfree lists and we need to ensure the correct release semantics is used when adding to the list.
2009-07-16Fix race in corruption check.Ulrich Drepper
With atomic fastbins the checks performed can race with concurrent modifications of the arena. If we detect a problem re-do the test after getting the lock.
2009-07-16Use rel semantics of cas instead of acq semantics with full barrier before ↵Jakub Jelinek
it in _int_free The following patch fixes catomic_compare_and_exchange_*_rel definitions (which were never used and weren't correct) and uses catomic_compare_and_exchange_val_rel in _int_free. Comparing to the pre-2009-07-02 --enable-experimental-malloc state the generated code should be identical on all arches other than ppc/ppc64 and on ppc/ppc64 should use lwsync instead of isync barrier.
2009-07-16Remove warning and little optimization.Ulrich Drepper
The prototype for _dl_higher_prime_number was missing. While at it, the function is now marked with internal_function.
2009-07-16Optimize restoring of ymm registers on x86-64.Ulrich Drepper
The patch mainly reduces the code size but also avoids some jumps.
2009-07-16memcmp implementation for x86-64 using SSE2.H.J. Lu
2009-07-15Secure AVX changes for auditing code.Ulrich Drepper
The original AVX patch used a function pointer to handle the difference between machines with and without AVX support. This is insecure. A well-placed memory exploit could lead to redirection of the execution. Using a variable and several tests is a bit slower but cannot be exploited in this way.
2009-07-15Fix build issue with modules for audit test on machines != x86-64.Ulrich Drepper

It is not necessary/useful anymore to have the content separate from dl-lookup.c.

2009-07-09Implement STB_GNU_UNIQUE handling.Ulrich Drepper
Some symbols have to be identified process-wide by their name. This is particularly important for some C++ features (e.g., class local static data and static variables in inline functions). This cannot completely be implemented with ELF functionality so far. The STB_GNU_UNIQUE binding helps by ensuring the dynamic linker will always use the same definition for all symbols with the same name and this binding.
