2012-06-22Fix invalid memory access in do_lookup_x.Andreas Schwab
[BZ #13579] Do not free l_initfini and allow it to be reused on subsequent dl_open calls for the same library. This fixes the invalid memory access in do_lookup_x when the previously free'd l_initfini was accessed through l_searchlist when a library had been opened for the second time.

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.
