2012-09-28Don't flush write buffer for ftellSiddhesh Poyarekar
[BZ #5298] Use write pointer state along with the file offset and/or the read pointers to get the current file position.
2012-09-28Adjust wide data buffer pointers during fseek and ftellSiddhesh Poyarekar
[BZ #14543] Set the internal buffer state correctly whenever the external buffer state is modified by fseek by either computing the current _IO_read_ptr/end for the internal buffer based on the new _IO_read_ptr in the external buffer or converting the content read into the external buffer, up to the extent of the requested fseek offset.

2012-09-19rtld: limit self loading check to normal mode onlyDmitry V. Levin
Commit glibc-2.14~10 disallowed rtld self loading to avoid a segfault that used to happen when rtld was loading itself in normal mode. Unfortunately, that commit disallowed all modes of self loading, including those that used to work before. This change limits the check for self loading to normal mode only, so that instruments like ldd could handle rtld properly.

2012-09-05Return requested size for malloc_usable_size when MALLOC_CHECK_ > 0Siddhesh Poyarekar
[BZ #1349] malloc_usable_size returns the usable size in an allocated chunk, which may be >= the requested size. In the case of MALLOC_CHECK_ being exported to > 0 however, only the requested size is usable, since a magic value is written at the end of the request size to trap writes beyond request bounds. Hence, when MALLOC_CHECK_ is exported to > 0, malloc_usable_size() should return the request size.

2012-08-29Don't make ttyname* fail if proc filesystem is not availableSiddhesh Poyarekar
The ttyname and ttyname_r functions on Linux now fall back to searching for the tty file descriptor in /dev/pts or /dev if /proc is not available. This allows creation of chroots without the procfs mounted on /proc. Fixes BZ #14516.

2012-08-22Add versions of wcscpy, wcschr, wcsrchr for power6/power7.Will Schmidt
Initially based on the versions found in wcsmbs/* ; these files have been changed by hand unrolling, and adding some additional variables to allow some read-ahead to occur, which then relieves some of the wait-for-increment/wait-for-load/wait-for-compare-results pressure that was slowing down every iteration through the while-loop. For 64-bit Power7, These changes give an approx 20% throughput boost for the wcschr and wcsrchr functions; and approx 40% boost for the wcscpy function. 32-bit improvements appear to be slightly better with ~ %30 and ~ %45 respectively. Results for Power6 closely match those for power7.
