I was told that Ma Shimao submitted a patch to add envz_remove to the
libc manual, but the patch could not be accepted since he does not
have a copyright assignment in place. I have been woefully behind on
libc-alpha recently and have not seen the patch or the discussion
thread. I have also not read the man page for envz_remove, so
Alexandre Oliva asked me if I could write this independently and post
a patch. The patch below is the result of the same - I have written
it based on the implementation in string/envz.c and Alex told me via
email that the function is AS, AC and MT-safe like envz_strip.
I assume Alex and Carlos cannot review this since they have been
tainted by the original patch (I haven't even tried to look for a link
to it since I don't want to be tainted) so someone else will have to
review this. If there are no reviewers till the end of the week, I
will commit this since I believe there is a chance that there are no
other reviewers who haven't read that thread.

The manual gives "an example showing how to handle failure to open a
file correctly." The example function, open_sesame, uses the
newly-introduced strerror function and errno and
program_invocation_short_name variables. It fails to specify GNU
extensions, however, so attempts to use it in the following way:
int main (void) {open_sesame ("badname");}
fail during compilation with "error: ‘program_invocation_short_name’
undeclared", indicating the example is incomplete. The presence of
"#include"s suggest everything neccesary for the function to work should
be present. For completeness, the example is lacking the following line:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
as the declarations of program_invocation_*name in errno.h are wrapped
in an "#ifdef __USE_GNU" conditional.
The documentation of the variables is also expanded, adding that their
definition lies in errno.h and noting specifically they are GNU
extensions.

Mentioning systems that are old and don't support C89 is probably
a waste of time nowadays. Drop the note.

This patch refines the math.texi documentation of the goals for when
libm function raise the inexact and underflow exceptions. The
previous text was problematic in some cases around the underflow
threshold.
* Strictly, it would have meant that if the mathematical result of pow
was very slightly below DBL_MIN, for example, it was required to
raise the underflow exception; although normally a few ulps error
would be OK, if that error meant the computed value was slightly
above DBL_MIN it would fail the previously described underflow
exception goal.
* Similarly, strict IEEE semantics would imply that sin (DBL_MIN), in
round-to-nearest mode, underflows on before-rounding but not
after-rounding architectures, while returning DBL_MIN; the previous
wording would have required an underflow exception, so preventing
checks for a result with absolute value below DBL_MIN from being
sufficient checks to determine whether the exception is required.
(Under the previous wording, checks for a result with absolute value
<= DBL_MIN wouldn't have been sufficient either, because in
FE_TOWARDZERO mode a result of DBL_MIN definitely does not result
from an underflowing infinite-precision result.)
* The previous wording about rounding infinite-precision values could
be taken to mean all exceptions including "inexact" must be
consistent with some such value. That would mean that a result of
DBL_MIN in FE_UPWARD mode with "inexact" raised must also have
"underflow" raised on before-rounding architectures. Again, that
would cause problems for computing a result (possibly with spurious
"inexact" exceptions) and then using a rounding-mode-independent
test for results with absolute value below DBL_MIN to determine
whether an underflow exception must be forced in case the underflows
from intermediate computations happened to be exact.
By refining the documentation, this patch avoids stating goals for
accuracy close to the underflow threshold that were stricter than
applied anywhere else, and allows the implementation strategy of:
compute a result within a few ulps, taking care to avoid underflows in
intermediate computations, then force an underflow exception if that
result was subnormal. Only fully-defined functions such as fma need
to take greater care about the exact underflow threshold (including
its dependence on whether the architecture is before-rounding or
after-rounding, and on the rounding mode on after-rounding
architectures).
(If the rounding mode is changed as part of the computation, it's
still necessary to ensure that not just intermediate computations, but
the final computation of the result to be returned, do not raise
underflow if that result is the least normal value and underflow would
be inconsistent with the original rounding mode. Since such code can
readily discard exceptions as part of saving and restoring the
rounding mode - SET_RESTORE_ROUND_NOEX etc. - I don't think that
should be a problem in practice.)

It seems we require texinfo 4.7 for the --plaintext option, so
document that and check for the correct version in configure.

Under certain conditions on the size of the array and its items,
qsort() may fall back to an in-place quicksort if it cannot allocate
memory for a temporary array with malloc(). This algorithm is not a
stable sort even if the comparison function is written in the
described manner.
Fixes #10672.

As discussed starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-11/msg00323.html>, this
patch makes the glibc build use -Werror by default to avoid
accidentally adding new warnings to the build. The configure option
--disable-werror can be used to disable this.
-Wno-error=undef is temporarily used because the build isn't clean
regarding -Wundef warnings. The idea is that once the remaining
-Wundef warnings have been cleaned up (in at least one configuration),
-Wno-error=undef will be removed.
I get a clean build and test on x86_64 (GCC 4.9 branch) with this
patch. The expectation is that this may well break the build for some
other configurations, and people seeing such breakage should make
appropriate fixes to fix or suppress the warnings for their
configurations. In some cases that may involve using pragmas as the
right fix (I think that will be right for the -Wno-inline issue for
MIPS I referred to in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-11/msg00798.html>, for
example), in some cases -Wno-error in sysdeps makefiles (__restore_rt
in MIPS sigaction, for example), in some cases substantive fixes for
the warnings.
Note that if, with a view to listing all the warnings then fixing them
all, you just look for "warning:" in output from building and testing
with --disable-werror, you'll see lots of warnings from the linker
about functions such as tmpnam. Those warnings can be ignored - only
compiler warnings are relevant to -Werror, not linker warnings.

As discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-10/msg00792.html>, and
continuing into November, this patch increases the minimum GCC version
for building glibc to 4.6 (there seemed to be no clear consensus for
4.7). In particular, this allows us to use #pragma GCC diagnostic for
fine-grained warning control with -Werror (subject to establishing a
suitable policy for that use). The documentation has a statement, as
requested, about the most recent GCC version tested for building
glibc, and I've updated <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release> to
refer to updating that statement. A NEWS entry is added for this
change, although previous such changes didn't get them.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 4.6 or later.
* configure: Regenerated.

We add Linux-realted comments about the atomicity of
write with respect to file offsets. As of Linux 3.14
the file offset update is atomic. That means that
multiple threads calling the write syscall can not possibly
get the same file offset. Therefore the writes should
not overlap and data should not be lost as is required
by POSIX.

I noticed that install.texi was out of date with regard to the actual

Various glibc build / install / test code has C locale settings that
are redundant with LC_ALL=C.
LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, so anywhere that sets LC_ALL=C
(explicitly, or through it being in the default environment for
running tests) does not need to set LANG=C. LC_ALL=C also takes
precedence over LANGUAGE, since
2001-01-02 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
* intl/dcigettext.c (guess_category_value): Rewrite so that LANGUAGE
value is ignored if the selected locale is the C locale.
* intl/tst-gettext.c: Set locale for above change.
* intl/tst-translit.c: Likewise.
and so settings of LANGUAGE=C are also redundant when LC_ALL=C is
set. One test also had LC_ALL=C in its -ENV setting, although it's
part of the default environment used for tests.
This patch removes the redundant settings. It removes a suggestion in
install.texi of setting LANGUAGE=C LC_ALL=C for "make install"; the
Makefile.in target "install" already sets LC_ALL_C so there's no need
for the user to set it (and nor should there be any need for the user
to set it).
If some build machine tool used by "make install" uses a version of
libintl predating that 2001 change, and the user has LANGUAGE set, the
removal of LANGUAGE=C from the Makefile.in "install" rule could in
principle affect the user's installation. However, I don't think we
need to be concerned about pre-2001 build tools.

consistent environment.
One wart in the original support for test wrappers for cross testing,
as noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-10/msg00722.html>, is the
requirement for test wrappers to pass a poorly-defined set of
environment variables from the build system to the system running the
glibc under test. Although some variables are passed explicitly via
$(test-wrapper-env), including LD_* variables that simply can't be
passed implicitly because of the side effects they'd have on the build
system's dynamic linker, others are passed implicitly, including
variables such as GCONV_PATH and LOCPATH that could potentially affect
the build system's libc (so effectively relying on any such effects
not breaking the wrappers). In addition, the code in
cross-test-ssh.sh for preserving environment variables is fragile (it
depends on how bash formats a list of exported variables, and could
well break for multi-line variable definitions where the contents
contain things looking like other variable definitions).
This patch moves to explicitly passing environment variables via
$(test-wrapper-env). Makefile variables that previously used
$(test-wrapper) are split up into -before-env and -after-env parts
that can be passed separately to the various .sh files used in
testing, so those files can then insert environment settings between
the two parts.
The common default environment settings in make-test-out are made into
a separate makefile variable that can also be passed to scripts,
rather than many scripts duplicating those settings (for testing an
installed glibc, it is desirable to have the GCONV_PATH setting on
just one place, so just that one place needs to support it pointing to
an installed sysroot instead of the build tree). The default settings
are included in the variables such as $(test-program-prefix), so that
if tests do not need any non-default settings they can continue to use
single variables rather than the split-up variables.
Although this patch cleans up LC_ALL=C settings (that being part of
the common defaults), various LANG=C and LANGUAGE=C settings remain.
Those are generally unnecessary and I propose a subsequent cleanup to
remove them. LC_ALL takes precedence over LANG, and while LANGUAGE
takes precedence over LC_ALL, it only does so for settings other than
LC_ALL=C. So LC_ALL=C on its own is sufficient to ensure the C
locale, and anything that gets LC_ALL=C does not need the other
settings.
While preparing this patch I noticed some tests with .sh files that
appeared to do nothing beyond what the generic makefile support for
tests can do (localedata/tst-wctype.sh - the makefiles support -ENV
variables and .input files - and localedata/tst-mbswcs.sh - just runs
five tests that could be run individually from the makefile). So I
propose another subsequent cleanup to move those to using the generic
support instead of special .sh files.
Tested x86_64 (native) and powerpc32 (cross).

This patch increases the minimum Linux kernel version for glibc to
2.6.32, as discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00511.html>.
This patch just does the minimal change to arch_minimum_kernel
settings (and LIBC_LINUX_VERSION, which determines the minimum kernel
headers version, as it doesn't make sense for that to be older than
the minimum kernel that can be used at runtime). Followups would be
expected to do, roughly and not necessarily precisely in this order:
* Remove __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION checks in kernel-features.h files
where those checks are always true / always false for kernels 2.6.32
and above.
* Otherwise simplify/improve conditionals in those files (for example,
where defining once in the main file then undefining in
architecture-specific files makes things clearer than having lots of
separate definitions of the same macro), possibly fixing in the
process cases where a macro should optimally have been defined for a
given architecture but wasn't. (In the review in preparation for
this version increase I checked what the right conditions should be
for all macros in the main kernel-features.h whose definitions there
would have been affected by the increase - but I only fixed that
subset of the issues found where --enable-kernel=2.6.32 would have
caused a kernel feature to be wrongly assumed to be present, not any
cases where a feature is not assumed but could be assumed.)
* Remove conditionals on __ASSUME_* where they can now be taken to be
always-true, and the definitions when the macros are only used in
Linux-specific files.
* Split more architectures out of the main kernel-features.h (like
ex-ports architectures), once various of the architecture
conditionals there have been eliminated so the new
architecture-specific files are no larger than actually necessary.
Tested x86_64.

In the glibc manual we have a "Roadmap to the manual" section at
the end of the "Introduction" chapter.
The introductory text says "Here is an overview of the contents
of the remaining chapters of this manual.", but then proceeds to
list chapters out of order and some chapter are never referenced.
This commit reorders the overview to correctly match the manual
order.

Calling setcontext from a signal handler can be done safely so
it is sufficient to note that it is not recommended.
Also mention in setcontext documentation that the behaviour of
setcontext when restoring a context created by a call to a signal
handler is unspecified.
2014-04-17 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/setjmp.texi (System V contexts): Add note that
calling setcontext on a context created by a call to a
signal handler is undefined. Update text to note that
setcontext from a signal handler is possible but not
recommended.

The function sem_close is AC-unsafe because lll_lock*
leaks a lock (aculock) and not because of twalk.

If the user has requested automatic buffer creation, getline may create
it and not free things when an error occurs. That means the user is
always responsible for calling free() regardless of the return value.
The current documentation does not explicitly cover this which leaves it
slightly ambiguous to the reader. So clarify things.

This patch is an updated version of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00198.html> and
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-03/msg00180.html>.
Normal practice for software testsuites is that rather than
terminating immediately when a test fails, they continue running and
report at the end on how many tests passed or failed.
The principle behind the glibc testsuite stopping on failure was
probably that the expected state is no failures and so any failure
indicates a problem such as miscompilation. In practice, while this
is fairly close to true for native testing on x86_64 and x86 (kernel
bugs and race conditions can still cause intermittent failures), it's
less likely to be the case on other platforms, and so people testing
glibc run the testsuite with "make -k" and then examine the logs to
determine whether the failures are what they expect to fail on that
platform, possibly with some automation for the comparison.
This patch switches the glibc testsuite to the normal convention of
not stopping on failure - unless you use stop-on-test-failure=y, in
which case it behaves essentially as it did before (and does not
generate overall test summaries on failure). Instead, the summary
tests.sum may contain tests that FAILed. At the end of the test run,
any FAIL or ERROR lines from tests.sum are printed, and then it exits
with error status if there were any such lines. In addition, build
failures will also cause the test run to stop - this has the
justification that those *do* indicate serious problems that should be
promptly fixed and aren't generally hard to fix (but apart from that,
avoiding the build stopping on those failures seems harder).
Note that unlike the previous patches in this series, this *does*
require people with automation around testing glibc to change their
processes - either to start using tests.sum / xtests.sum to track
failures and compare them with expectations (with or without also
using "make -k" and examining "make" logs to identify build failures),
or else to use stop-on-test-failure=y and ignore the new tests.sum /
xtests.sum mechanism. (If all you check is the exit status from "make
check", no changes are needed unless you want to avoid test runs
continuing after the first failure.)
Tested x86_64.

As recently discussed
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00670.html>, it
doesn't seem particularly useful for libm-test-ulps files to contain
huge amounts of data on ulps for individual tests; just the global
maximum observed ulps for each function, together with the
verification of exceptions, errno and special results such as
infinities and NaNs for each test, suffices to verify that a
function's behavior on the given test inputs is within the expected
accuracy. Removing this data reduces source tree churn caused by
updates to these files when libm tests are added, and reduces the
frequency with which testsuite additions actually need libm-test-ulps
changes at all.
Accordingly, this patch removes that data, so that individual tests
get checked against the global bounds for the given function and only
generate an error if those are exceeded. Tested x86_64 (including
verifying that if an ulps value is artificially reduced, the tests do
indeed fail as they should and "make regen-ulps" generates the
expected changes).
