2016-09-30libio: Multiple fixes for open_{w}memstram (BZ#18241 and BZ#20181)Adhemerval Zanella
This patches fixes multiples issues on open_{w}memstream reported on both BZ#18241 and BZ#20181: - failed fseek does not set errno. - negative offset in fseek fails even when resulting position is a valid one. - a flush after write if the current write position is not at the end of the stream currupt data. The main fix is on seek operation for memstream (_IO_{w}str_seekoff), where both _IO_read_ptr and _IO_read_end pointer are updated if a write operation has occured (similar to default file operations). Also, to calculate the offset on both read and write pointers, a temporary value is instead of updating the argument supplied value. Negative offset are valid if resulting internal pointer is within the range of _IO_{read,write}_base and _IO_{read,write}_end. Also POSIX states that a null or wide null shall be appended to the current buffer iff a write moves the position to a value larger than the current lenght. Current implementation appends a null or wide null regardless of this condition. This patch fixes it by removing the 'else' condition on _IO_{w}mem_sync. Checked on x86_64. [BZ #18241] [BZ #20181] * libio/Makefile (test): Add tst-memstream3 and tst-wmemstream3. * libio/memstream.c (_IO_mem_sync): Only append a null byte if write position is at the end the buffer. * libio/wmemstream.c (_IO_wmem_sync): Likewise. * libio/strops.c (_IO_str_switch_to_get_mode): New function.

2016-09-30Add iscanonical.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 adds an iscanonical classification macro to <math.h>. The motivation for this is decimal floating-point, where some values have both canonical and noncanonical encodings. For IEEE binary interchange formats, all encodings are canonical. For x86/m68k ldbl-96, and for ldbl-128ibm, there are encodings that do not represent any valid value of the type; although formally iscanonical does not need to handle trap representations (and so could just always return 1), it seems useful, and in line with the description in the TS of "representations that are extraneous to the floating-point model" as being non-canonical (as well as "redundant representations of some or all of its values"), for it to detect those representations and return 0 for them. This patch adds iscanonical to glibc. It goes in a header <bits/iscanonical.h>, included under appropriate conditions in <math.h>. The default header version just evaluates the argument (converted to its semantic type, though current GCC will probably discard that conversion and any exceptions resulting from it) and returns 1. ldbl-96 and ldbl-128ibm then have versions of the header that call a function __iscanonicall for long double (the sizeof-based tests will of course need updating for float128 support, like other such type-generic macro implementations). The ldbl-96 version of __iscanonicall has appropriate conditionals to reflect the differences in the m68k version of that format (where the high mantissa bit may be either 0 or 1 when the exponent is 0 or 0x7fff). Corresponding tests for those formats are added as well. Other architectures do not have any new functions added because just returning 1 is correct for all their floating-point formats. Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 (to test the default macro version) and powerpc. * math/math.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)]: Include <bits/iscanonical.h>. * bits/iscanonical.h: New file. * math/s_iscanonicall.c: Likewise. * math/Versions (__iscanonicall): New libm symbol at version GLIBC_2.25. * math/libm-test.inc (iscanonical_test_data): New array.

2016-09-23Add iszero.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 adds an iszero classification macro to <math.h>. This patch implements it for glibc. There are no new underlying functions in libm because the implementation uses fpclassify when sNaN support is required and a direct comparison otherwise; any optimizations for this macro should be done through adding __builtin_iszero in GCC and using it in the header for suitable GCC versions, not through adding other optimized inline or out-of-line versions to glibc. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * math/math.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (iszero): New macro. * math/libm-test.inc (iszero_test_data): New array. (iszero_test): New function.

2016-09-23manual: Clarify NSS error reportingFlorian Weimer
The manual already required that NSS implementation functions set error codes if they return a value that is not NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS, but this was not very explicit. The errnop parameter was omitted in a few places, and the function return value was incorrect.
2016-09-21Add issubnormal.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 adds an issubnormal classification macro to <math.h>. This patch implements it for glibc. There are no new underlying functions in libm because the implementation uses fpclassify; any optimizations for this macro should be done through adding __builtin_subnormal in GCC and using it in the header for suitable GCC versions, not through adding other optimized inline or out-of-line versions to glibc. The intended structure of the NEWS entry for <math.h> features from TS 18661-1 is like: * New <math.h> features are added from TS 18661-1:2014: - Nearest integer functions: roundeven, roundevenf, roundevenl. - Comparison macros: iseqsig. - Classification macros: iscanonical, issubnormal, iszero. (that is, following the grouping of interfaces in TS 18661-1:2014, with any group where any interfaces are new in glibc 2.25 being listed like that). Tested for x86_64 and x86. * math/math.h [__GLIBC_USE (IEC_60559_BFP_EXT)] (issubnormal): New macro. * math/libm-test.inc (issubnormal_test_data): New array.

2016-09-21Add <stdint.h> integer width macros.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines macros for the width of integer types, intended for use with the fromfp functions to convert from floating-point types to integer types of any width, in any rounding mode and with control over whether "inexact" is raised. Such macros are, of course, more generally useful than just with those functions. Those macros are added to <limits.h> and <stdint.h>. Having previously added the <limits.h> macros, this patch adds the <stdint.h> ones. I've also added these macros to GCC's headers for GCC 7, but for glibc systems, the definitions in GCC's <stdint.h> will only be used with -ffreestanding. Tested for x86_64 and x86. * sysdeps/generic/stdint.h: Define __GLIBC_INTERNAL_STARTING_HEADER_IMPLEMENTATION and include <bits/libc-header-start.h> instead of including <features.h>.

2016-09-19Add <limits.h> integer width macros.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines macros for the width of integer types, intended for use with the fromfp functions to convert from floating-point types to integer types of any width, in any rounding mode and with control over whether "inexact" is raised. Such macros are, of course, more generally useful than just with those functions. Those macros are added to <limits.h> and <stdint.h>. This patch adds the <limits.h> macros to glibc's header, with the <stdint.h> ones intended to be added in a separate patch (which would add to the NEWS entry created by this patch). I've also added these macros to GCC's headers for GCC 7, but definitions in glibc's <limits.h> are still useful for older GCC, for non-GNU compilers and for when it's _GNU_SOURCE rather than __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ that implies the macros should be defined since the GCC header only considers __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ (and for glibc systems, the definitions in GCC's <stdint.h> will only be used with -ffreestanding).

2016-09-07Add femode_t functions.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines a type femode_t to represent the set of dynamic floating-point control modes (such as the rounding mode and trap enablement modes), and functions fegetmode and fesetmode to manipulate those modes (without affecting other state such as the raised exception flags) and a corresponding macro FE_DFL_MODE. This patch series implements those interfaces for glibc. This first patch adds the architecture-independent pieces, the x86 and x86_64 implementations, and the <bits/fenv.h> and ABI baseline updates for all architectures so glibc keeps building and passing the ABI tests on all architectures. Subsequent patches add the fegetmode and fesetmode implementations for other architectures. femode_t is generally an integer type - the same type as fenv_t, or as the single element of fenv_t where fenv_t is a structure containing a single integer (or the single relevant element, where it has elements for both status and control registers) - except where architecture properties or consistency with the fenv_t implementation indicate otherwise. FE_DFL_MODE follows FE_DFL_ENV in whether it's a magic pointer value (-1 cast to const femode_t *), a value that can be distinguished from valid pointers by its high bits but otherwise contains a representation of the desired register contents, or a pointer to a constant variable (the powerpc case; __fe_dfl_mode is added as an exported constant object, an alias to __fe_dfl_env). Note that where architectures (that share a register between control and status bits) gain definitions of new floating-point control or status bits in future, the implementations of fesetmode for those architectures may need updating (depending on whether the new bits are control or status bits and what the implementation does with previously unknown bits), just like existing implementations of <fenv.h> functions that take care not to touch reserved bits may need updating when the set of reserved bits changes. (As any new bits are outside the scope of ISO C, that's just a quality-of-implementation issue for supporting them, not a conformance issue.) As with fenv_t, femode_t should properly include any software DFP rounding mode (and for both fenv_t and femode_t I'd consider that fragment of DFP support appropriate for inclusion in glibc even in the absence of the rest of libdfp; hardware DFP rounding modes should already be included if the definitions of which bits are status / control bits are correct). Tested for x86_64, x86, mips64 (hard float, and soft float to test the fallback version), arm (hard float) and powerpc (hard float, soft float and e500).

2016-08-29Add fetestexceptflag.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines an fetestexceptflag function to test the exception state saved in an fexcept_t object by fegetexceptflag. This patch implements this function for glibc. Almost all architectures save exception state in such a way that it can be directly ANDed with exception flag bits, so rather than having lots of fetestexceptflag implementations that all do the same thing, the math/ implementation is made to use this generic logic (which is also OK in the fallback case where FE_ALL_EXCEPT is zero). The only architecture that seems to need anything different is s390. (fegetexceptflag and fesetexceptflag use abbreviated filenames fgetexcptflg.c and fsetexcptflg.c.

2016-08-16Add fesetexcept.Joseph Myers
TS 18661-1 defines an fesetexcept function for setting floating-point exception flags without the side-effect of causing enabled traps to be taken. This patch series implements this function for glibc. The present patch adds the fallback stub implementation, x86 and x86_64 implementations, documentation, tests and ABI baseline updates. The remaining patches, some of them untested, add implementations for other architectures. The implementations generally follow those of the fesetexceptflag function. As for fesetexceptflag, the approach taken for architectures where setting flags causes enabled traps to be taken is to set the flags (and potentially cause traps) rather than refusing to set the flags and returning an error. Since ISO C and TS 18661 provide no way to enable traps, this is formally in accordance with the standards. The NEWS entry should be considered a placeholder, since this patch series is intended to be followed by further such series adding other TS 18661-1 features, so that the NEWS entry would end up looking more like * New <fenv.h> features from TS 18661-1:2014 are added to libm: the fesetexcept, fetestexceptflag, fegetmode and fesetmode functions, the femode_t type and the FE_DFL_MODE macro. with hopefully more such entries for other features, rather than having an entry for a single function in the end. I believe we have consensus for adding TS 18661-1 interfaces as per <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00421.html>.

This patch implements support for the __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_FUNCS_EXT__ feature test macro, following the __GLIBC_USE approach used for other ISO C feature test macros.

2016-08-03Support __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ feature test macro.Joseph Myers
This patch implements support for the __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ feature test macro from ISO/IEC 18661-1:2014, following the __GLIBC_USE approach now used for __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__. For this macro, the relevant consideration is whether it is defined or undefined when an affected header is included (not what its value is if defined, and not whether it's defined or undefined when any other unaffected system header is included). Currently this macro only affects the issignaling macro and the nextup and nextdown functions (so they can be enabled by defining this macro, not just by defining _GNU_SOURCE as previously). Any further features from this TS added in future would also be conditioned on this macro. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * bits/libc-header-start.h (__GLIBC_USE_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT): New macro. * include/features.h (__STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__): Document. * manual/arith.texi (issignaling): Document as ISO from TS 18661-1:2014.

2016-08-02Support __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ feature test macro.Joseph Myers
This patch implements support for the __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ feature test macro from ISO/IEC TR 24731-2:2010, thereby implementing one possible approach for supporting ISO C feature test macros. Recall that, as described in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00486.html>, these macros work based on the definition when affected headers are included, so cannot be handled once when the first system header is included because that might not be one of the headers the particular macro in question affects. <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-05/msg00680.html> expresses views on possible approaches for implementation and <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg00039.html> follows up on that. This patch arranges things so that the relevant condition is __GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2), following one of the suggestions given. Headers using these macros include <bits/libc-header-start.h>, which in turn includes <features.h>. Headers must define __GLIBC_INTERNAL_STARTING_HEADER_IMPLEMENTATION before including <bits/libc-header-start.h>, to discourage inclusion outside glibc as requested. __USE_GNU conditions on affected functions are changed to __GLIBC_USE (LIB_EXT2), while it's added as an additional alternative on the conditions for functions already enabled for some POSIX versions. It would be possible to convert existing __USE_* conditionals to __GLIBC_USE (with the relevant __GLIBC_USE_* being defined in <features.h> where __USE_* are presently defined), and so make them typo-proof (given -Wundef -Werror in glibc builds) because __GLIBC_USE is used with #if not #ifdef / #if defined. No attempt is made to enforce the rule about diagnosing different definitions of __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__ when affected headers are included; such a diagnostic is incompatible with multiple-include guards on the affected headers, unless compiler extensions are added to support it. As previously noted, glibc does not implement all features from TR 24731-2:2010: the functions aswprintf vaswprintf getwdelim getwline are not in glibc, although they would be appropriate to add if someone wished to do so. But I think it makes sense to support the feature test macro if *any* of the controlled features are present in glibc. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * bits/libc-header-start.h: New file. * Makefile (headers): Add bits/libc-header-start.h. * include/features.h (__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__): Document.

2016-06-16Add nextup and nextdown math functionsRajalakshmi Srinivasaraghavan
TS 18661 adds nextup and nextdown functions alongside nextafter to provide support for float128 equivalent to it. This patch adds nextupl, nextup, nextupf, nextdownl, nextdown and nextdownf to libm before float128 support. The nextup functions return the next representable value in the direction of positive infinity and the nextdown functions return the next representable value in the direction of negative infinity. These are currently enabled as GNU extensions.

2016-04-29NSS: Implement group merging support.Stephen Gallagher
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Proposals/GroupMerging == Justification == It is common today for users to rely on centrally-managed user stores for handling their user accounts. However, much software existing today does not have an innate understanding of such accounts. Instead, they commonly rely on membership in known groups for managing access-control (for example the "wheel" group on Fedora and RHEL systems or the "adm" group on Debian-derived systems). In the present incarnation of nsswitch, the only way to have such groups managed by a remote user store such as FreeIPA or Active Directory would be to manually remove the groups from /etc/group on the clients so that nsswitch would then move past nss_files and into the SSSD, nss-ldap or other remote user database. == Solution == With this patch, a new action is introduced for nsswitch: NSS_ACTION_MERGE. To take advantage of it, one will add [SUCCESS=merge] between two database entries in the nsswitch.conf file. When a group is located in the first of the two group entries, processing will continue on to the next one. If the group is also found in the next entry (and the group name and GID are an exact match), the member list of the second entry will be added to the group object to be returned. == Implementation == After each DL_LOOKUP_FN() returns, the next action is checked. If the function returned NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS and the next action is NSS_ACTION_MERGE, a copy of the result buffer is saved for the next pass through the loop. If on this next pass through the loop the database returns another instance of a group matching both the group name and GID, the member list is added to the previous list and it is returned as a single object. If the following database does not contain the same group, then the original is copied back into the destination buffer. This patch implements merge functionality only for the group database. For other databases, there is a default implementation that will return the EINVAL errno if a merge is requested. The merge functionality can be implemented for other databases at a later time if such is needed. Each database must provide a unique implementation of the deep-copy and merge functions. If [SUCCESS=merge] is present in nsswitch.conf for a glibc version that does not support it, glibc will process results up until that operation, at which time it will return results if it has found them or else will simply return an error. In practical terms, this ends up behaving like the remainder of the nsswitch.conf line does not exist. == Iterators == This feature does not modify the iterator functionality from its current behavior. If getgrnam() or getgrgid() is called, glibc will iterate through all entries in the `group` line in nsswitch.conf and display the list of members without attempting to merge them. This is consistent with the behavior of nss_files where if two separate lines are specified for the same group in /etc/groups, getgrnam()/getgrgid() will display both. Clients are already expected to handle this gracefully. == No Premature Optimizations == The following is a list of places that might be eligible for optimization, but were not overengineered for this initial contribution: * Any situation where a merge may occur will result in one malloc() of the same size as the input buffer. * Any situation where a merge does occur will result in a second malloc() to hold the list of pointers to member name strings. * The list of members is simply concatenated together and is not tested for uniqueness (which is identical to the behavior for nss_files, which will simply return identical values if they both exist on the line in the file. This could potentially be optimized to reduce space usage in the buffer, but it is both complex and computationally expensive to do so. == Testing == I performed testing by running the getent utility against my newly-built glibc and configuring /etc/nsswitch.conf with the following entry: group: group: files [SUCCESS=merge] sss In /etc/group I included the line: wheel:x:10:sgallagh I then configured my local SSSD using the id_provider=local to respond with: wheel:*:10:localuser,localuser2 I then ran `getent group wheel` against the newly-built glibc in multiple situations and received the expected output as described above: * When SSSD was running. * When SSSD was configured in nsswitch.conf but the daemon was not running. * When SSSD was configured in nsswitch.conf but nss_sss.so.2 was not installed on the system. * When the order of 'sss' and 'files' was reversed. * All of the above with the [SUCCESS=merge] removed (to ensure no regressions). * All of the above with `getent group 10`. * All of the above with `getent group` with and without `enumerate=true` set in SSSD. * All of the above with and without nscd enabled on the system.
2016-04-29glob: Simplify the interface for the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC callback gl_readdirFlorian Weimer
Previously, application code had to set up the d_namlen member if the target supported it, involving conditional compilation. After this change, glob will use the length of the string in d_name instead of d_namlen to determine the file name length. All glibc targets provide the d_type and d_ino members, and setting them as needed for gl_readdir is straightforward. Changing the behavior with regards to d_ino is left to a future cleanup.
2016-04-14malloc: Run fork handler as late as possible [BZ #19431]Florian Weimer
Previously, a thread M invoking fork would acquire locks in this order: (M1) malloc arena locks (in the registered fork handler) (M2) libio list lock A thread F invoking flush (NULL) would acquire locks in this order: (F1) libio list lock (F2) individual _IO_FILE locks A thread G running getdelim would use this order: (G1) _IO_FILE lock (G2) malloc arena lock After executing (M1), (F1), (G1), none of the threads can make progress. This commit changes the fork lock order to: (M'1) libio list lock (M'2) malloc arena locks It explicitly encodes the lock order in the implementations of fork, and does not rely on the registration order, thus avoiding the deadlock.

2016-03-10Allow spurious underflow / inexact for ldbl-128ibm.Joseph Myers
A large number of the test-ldouble failures seen for ldbl-128ibm are spurious "underflow" and "inexact" exceptions. These arise from such exceptions in the underlying arithmetic; unlike other spurious exceptions from that arithmetic, they do not in general relate to cases where the returned result is also substantially inaccurate, are not so readily avoidable by appropriately conditional libgcc patches, and are widespread enough to be hard to handle through individual XFAILing of the affected tests. Thus, this patch documents relaxed accuracy goals for libm functions for IBM long double and makes libm-test.inc reflect these spurious exceptions in ldbl-128ibm arithmetic and always allow them in ldbl-128ibm testing (while still not allowing these exceptions to be missing where required to be present). Tested for powerpc. * manual/math.texi (Errors in Math Functions): Document relaxed accuracy goals for IBM long double. * math/libm-test.inc (test_exceptions): Always allow spurious "underflow" and "inexact" exceptions for IBM long double.
2016-02-24Require Linux 3.2 except on x86 / x86_64, 3.2 headers everywhere.Joseph Myers
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-01/msg00885.html> I proposed a minimum Linux kernel version of 3.2 for glibc 2.24, since Linux 2.6.32 has reached EOL. In the discussion in February, some concerns were expressed about compatibility with OpenVZ containers. It's not clear that these are real issues, given OpenVZ backporting kernel features and faking the kernel version for guest software, as discussed in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-02/msg00278.html>. It's also not clear that supporting running GNU/Linux distributions from late 2016 (at the earliest) on a kernel series from 2009 is a sensible expectation. However, as an interim step, this patch increases the requirement everywhere except x86 / x86_64 (since the controversy was only about those architectures); the special caveats and settings can easily be removed later when we're ready to increase the requirements on x86 / x86_64 (and if someone would like to raise the issue on LWN as suggested in the previous discussion, that would be welcome). 3.2 kernel headers are required everywhere by this patch. (x32 already requires 3.4 or later, so is unaffected by this patch.) As usual for such a change, this patch only changes the configure scripts and associated documentation. The intent is to follow up with removal of dead __LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION conditionals. Each __ASSUME_* or other macro that becomes dead can then be removed independently.

2015-12-14Make obsolete syscall wrappers into compat symbols (bug 18472).Joseph Myers
Various Linux kernel syscalls have become obsolete over time. Specifically, the following are obsolete in all kernel versions supported by glibc, are not present for architectures more recently added to the kernel, and as such, the wrapper functions for them should be compat symbols, not in static libc and not available for new links with shared libc. * bdflush: in Linux 2.6, does nothing if present. * create_module get_kernel_syms query_module: Linux 2.4 module interface, syscalls not present in Linux 2.6. * uselib: part of the mechanism for loading a.out shared libraries, irrelevant with ELF. This patch adds support for syscalls.list to list syscall aliases of the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED, with SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals being generated for such aliases. Those five syscalls are then made into compat symbols (obsoleted in glibc 2.23, so future ports won't have these symbols at all), with the header <sys/kdaemon.h> declaring bdflush being removed. When we move to 3.2 as minimum kernel version, the same can be done for nfsservctl (removed in Linux 3.1) as well. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, as well as checking that the symbols in question indeed become compat symbols, that they are indeed omitted from static libc, and that the generated SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals look right). [BZ #18472] * sysdeps/unix/Makefile ($(objpfx)stub-syscalls.c): Handle entries for the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED and generate SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals for them. * sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh (emit_weak_aliases): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/kdaemon.h: Remove file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (sysdep_headers): Remove sys/kdaemon.h. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list (bdflush): Make into compat-only syscall, obsoleted in glibc 2.23. (create_module): Likewise. (get_kernel_syms): Likewise. (query_module): Likewise. (uselib): Likewise. * manual/sysinfo.texi (System Parameters): Do not mention bdflush.
