2012-06-06Fix validation check when converting from ibm930 to utfSiddhesh Poyarekar
[BZ #14134] When converting IBM930 code with iconv(), if IBM930 code which includes invalid multibyte character "0xffff" is specified, then iconv() segfaults. This is easy to see using the following command: echo '0x0e 0x43 0x8c 0xff 0xff 0x43 0xbd 0x43 0xbd' | xxd -r | iconv -f IBM930 -t UTF-8
2012-06-04Manual for platform-specific features and new __ppc_get_timebase inline.Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho
[BZ #13743] A new class of installed headers has been documented for low-level platform-specific functionality. PowerPC added the first instance with a function to provide time base register access (__ppc_get_timebase). This is required for applications that measure time at high frequencies with high precision that can't afford a syscall.

2012-05-26Fix stack size and address inconsistency due to executable stackSiddhesh Poyarekar
When a stack is marked executable due to loading a DSO that requires an executable stack, the logic tends to leave out a portion of stack after the first frame, thus causing a difference in the value returned by pthread_getattr_np before and after the stack is marked executable. It ought to be possible to fix this by marking the rest of the stack as executable too, but in the interest of marking as less of the stack as executable as possible, the path this fix takes is to make pthread_getattr_np also look at the first frame as the underflow end of the stack and compute size and stack top accordingly. The above happens only for the main process stack. NPTL thread stacks are not affected by this change.

2012-05-15Allow a single-threaded program to cancel itselfSiddhesh Poyarekar
There is nothing in the POSIX specification to disallow a single-threaded program from cancelling itself, so we forcibly enable multiple_threads to allow the next available cancellation point in the thread to run. Also added additional tests to cover various cancellation scenarios.

2012-05-10Fix for logb/logbf/logbl (bugs 13954/13955/13956)Adhemerval Zanella
POSIX 2008 states that if the input for 'logb[f|l]' is a subnormal number it should be treated as if it were normalized. This means the implementation should calculate the log2 of the mantissa and add it to the subnormal exponent (-126 for float and -1022 for double and IBM long double). This patch takes care of that.
2012-05-10Make sunrpc code usable againAndreas Jaeger
New configure option --enable-obsolete-rpc makes the deprecated RPC headers and functions available at compile time as they were before version 2.14. This option will be removed at some time in the future after the TI-RPC library becomes fully sufficient for the needs of existing applications.

2012-05-09Add volatiles for x86-64 bits/mathinline.hAndreas Jaeger
[BZ #14053] GCC 4.7 might remove consecutive calls to e.g. lrintf since the assembler instructions are the same and GCC does not know that the result is different depending on the rounding mode. For SSE instructions, the control register is not available so there is no way to inform GCC about this. Therefore the asms are marked as volatile.
2012-05-09Fix strspn warning with -WconversionAndreas Jaeger
