[BZ #18040]
Problem reported by Saito Takaaki <tails.saito@gmail.com> in
https://debbugs.gnu.org/32592
Call stack get_subexp->get_subexp_sub->clean_state_log_if_needed may
call extend_buffers which reallocates the re_string_t internal buffer.
Local variable 'buf' was not updated in such case, resulting in
use-after-free.
* posix/regexec.c (get_subexp): Update 'buf' after call to
get_subexp_sub.
Continuing the removal of bits/mathinline.h inlines that would better
be done by the compiler, this patch removes x86 inlines for asinh,
acosh and atanh functions (only for fast-math, non-SSE 32-bit x86).
I've filed <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88502> for
adding such inlines as an optimization in GCC.
Tested for x86_64 and x86.
* sysdeps/x86/fpu/bits/mathinline.h (asinh): Remove inline
definition.
(acosh): Likewise.
(atanh): Likewise.
The test case misc/tst-efgcvt.c only tests the double variants of the
Old-fashioned System V number-to-string functions: ecvt, fcvt, and their
re-entrant counterparts. With a few macros, the code can be reused for
the long double versions of these functions. A future patch will reuse
it again for IEEE long double on powerpc64le.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
Sometimes tst-nss-test3 fails with:
error: test-container.c:386: unable to open .../nss/libnss_test1.so for reading
The test tst-nss-test3 which runs in a container needs
libnss_test[12].so. (see e.g. tst-nss-test3.script).
Before this test was moved from tests to tests-container variable,
the requirement was met. Thus this patch adds this requirement
also for tests in tests-container.
ChangeLog:
* nss/Makefile (tst-nss-test3.out): New rule.
GCC mainline now gives errors for an asm that clobbers the stack
pointer. According to
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-12/msg00932.html> GCC
previously ignored such a clobber; thus, this patch removes it from
_hurd_stack_setup.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for i686-gnu.
* sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/init-first.c (_hurd_stack_setup): Do not

This patch fix Hygon Dhyana processor CPU Vendor ID detection
problem in glibc sysdep module, current glibc codes doesn't
recognize Dhyana CPU Vendor ID("HygonGenuine") and set kind to
arch_kind_other, which result to incorrect zero value for
__cache_sysconf() syscall. As Hygon Dhyana share most
architecture feature as AMD Family 17h, this patch add Hygon CPU
Vendor ID check and setup kind to arch_kind_amd and reuse AMD
code path, which lead to correct return value in
__cache_sysconf() syscall. we run the glibc test suite for both
Hygon Dhyana and AMD EPYC and found no failure case.
Background:
Chengdu Haiguang IC Design Co., Ltd (Hygon) is a Joint Venture
between AMD and Haiguang Information Technology Co.,Ltd., aims at
providing high performance x86 processor for China server market.
Its first generation processor codename is Dhyana, which
originates from AMD technology and shares most of the
architecture with AMD's family 17h, but with different CPU Vendor
ID("HygonGenuine")/Family series number(Family 18h).

In the read lock function (__pthread_rwlock_rdlock_full) there was a
code path which would fail to reload __readers while waiting for
PTHREAD_RWLOCK_RWAITING to change. This failure to reload __readers
into a local value meant that various conditionals used the old value
of __readers and with only two threads left it could result in an
indefinite stall of one of the readers (waiting for PTHREAD_RWLOCK_RWAITING
to go to zero, but it never would).

On some platforms, long double may have either the same format as double
or another, wider format, such as the Quadruple IEC 60559 long double
format or the IBM Extended Precision format (both 128-bits wide).
Selecting between the available formats is done by using one of the
following compiler switches: -mlong-double-128, for the wider format, or
-mlong-double-64, for the narrower. On all platforms that provide this
choice, the wider format is the default.
When the non-default format is selected by user code (i.e.: when
building with -mlong-double-64) calls to functions that take long double
parameters or return a long double type (e.g.: strfroml) are redirected
to a compat function, via assembler redirection, by headers such as
bits/stdlib-ldbl.h or bits/misc-ldbl.h.
In glibc builds, however, these headers are currently being read from
the system directories (/usr/include/bits) rather than from the source
directory. Although this works correctly today, it raises
reproducibility concerns. Besides that, builds for powerpc64le will
need these files from the source directory, because on powerpc64le, the
new redirections for long double with IEEE binary128 format will be
implemented in these headers.
Tested for powerpc64 and powerpc64le.

Add __v*printf_internal with flags arguments
_IO_vfprintf is gone. This did not trigger any test case failures on
powerpc and powerpc64le, because there were no tests that covered it.
However, new test cases for nldbl versions of argp.h functions exposed
the problem.
Tested for powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
The threshold value at which powf overflows depends on the rounding mode
and the current check did not take this into account. So when the result
was rounded away from zero it could become infinity without setting
errno to ERANGE.
Example: pow(0x1.7ac7cp+5, 23) is 0x1.fffffep+127 + 0.1633ulp
If the result goes above 0x1.fffffep+127 + 0.5ulp then errno is set,
which is fine in nearest rounding mode, but
powf(0x1.7ac7cp+5, 23) is inf in upward rounding mode
powf(-0x1.7ac7cp+5, 23) is -inf in downward rounding mode
and the previous implementation did not set errno in these cases.
The fix tries to avoid affecting the common code path or calling a
function that may introduce a stack frame, so float arithmetics is used
to check the rounding mode and the threshold is selected accordingly.

During postclean.req testing it was found that the fork in the
parent process (after the unshare syscall) would fail with ENOMEM
(see recursive_remove() in test-container.c). While failing with
ENOMEM is certainly unexpected, it is simply easier to refactor
the design and have the parent remain outside of the namespace.
This change moves the postclean.req processing to a distinct
process (the parent) that then forks the test process (which will
have to fork once more to complete uid/gid transitions). When the
test process exists the cleanup process will ensure all files are
deleted when a post clean is requested.

* support/test-container.c: Move postclean step to before we
change namespaces.
This patch eliminates the gen-py-const.awk variant of gen-as-const,
switching to use of gnu-as-const.py (with a new --python option) to
process .pysym files (i.e., to generate nptl_lock_constants.py), as
the syntax of those files is identical to that of .sym files.
Note that the generated nptl_lock_constants.py is *not* identical to
the version generated by the awk script. Apart from the trivial
changes (comment referencing the new script, and output being sorted),
the constant FUTEX_WAITERS, PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS,
PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_PSHARED and PTHREAD_MUTEX_PRIO_CEILING_MASK are
now output as positive rather than negative constants (on x86_64
anyway; maybe not necessarily on 32-bit systems):
< FUTEX_WAITERS = -2147483648
---
> FUTEX_WAITERS = 2147483648
< PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS = -251662336
< PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_PSHARED = -2147483648
---
> PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS = 4043304960
> PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_PSHARED = 2147483648
< PTHREAD_MUTEX_PRIO_CEILING_MASK = -524288
---
> PTHREAD_MUTEX_PRIO_CEILING_MASK = 4294443008
This is because gen-as-const has a cast of the constant value to long
int, which gen-py-const lacks.
I think the positive values are more logically correct, since the
constants in question are in fact unsigned in C. But to reliably
produce gen-as-const.py output for constants that always (in C and
Python) reflects the signedness of values with the high bit of "long
int" set would mean more complicated logic needs to be used in
computing values.
The more correct positive values by themselves produce a failure of
nptl/test-mutexattr-printers, because masking with
~PTHREAD_MUTEXATTR_FLAG_BITS & ~PTHREAD_MUTEX_NO_ELISION_NP now leaves
a bit -1 << 32 in the Python value, resulting in a KeyError exception.
To avoid that, places masking with ~ of one of the constants in
question are changed to mask with 0xffffffff as well (this reflects
how ~ in Python applies to an infinite-precision integer whereas ~ in
C does not do any promotions beyond the width of int).

This patch converts the tst-signal-numbers test from shell + awk to
Python.
As with gen-as-const, the point is not so much that shell and awk are
problematic for this code, as that it's useful to build up general
infrastructure in Python for use of a range of code involving
extracting values from C headers. This patch moves some code from
gen-as-const.py to a new glibcextract.py, which also gains functions
relating to listing macros, and comparing the values of a set of
macros from compiling two different pieces of code.
It's not just signal numbers that should have such tests; pretty much
any case where glibc copies constants from Linux kernel headers should
have such tests that the values and sets of constants agree except
where differences are known to be OK. Much the same also applies to
structure layouts (although testing those without hardcoding lists of
fields to test will be more complicated).
Given this patch, another test for a set of macros would essentially
be just a call to glibcextract.compare_macro_consts (plus boilerplate
code - and we could move to having separate text files defining such
tests, like the .sym inputs to gen-as-const, so that only a single
Python script is needed for most such tests). Some such tests would
of course need new features, e.g. where the set of macros changes in
new kernel versions (so you need to allow new macro names on the
kernel side if the kernel headers are newer than the version known to
glibc, and extra macros on the glibc side if the kernel headers are
older). tst-syscall-list.sh could become a Python script that uses
common code to generate lists of macros but does other things with its
own custom logic.
There are a few differences from the existing shell + awk test.
Because the new test evaluates constants using the compiler, no
special handling is needed any more for one signal name being defined
to another. Because asm/signal.h now needs to pass through the
compiler, not just the preprocessor, stddef.h is included as well
(given the asm/signal.h issue that it requires an externally provided
definition of size_t). The previous code defined __ASSEMBLER__ with
asm/signal.h; this is removed (__ASSEMBLY__, a different macro,
eliminates the requirement for stddef.h on some but not all
architectures).
Tested for x86_64, and with build-many-glibcs.py.

On powerpc64le, long double can currently take two formats: the same as
double (-mlong-double-64) or IBM Extended Precision (default with
-mlong-double-128 or explicitly with -mabi=ibmlongdouble). The internal
implementation of scanf-like functions is aware of these possibilites
and, based on the format in use, properly calls __strtold_internal or
__strtod_internal, saving the return to a variable of type double or
long double.
When library support for TS 18661-3 was added to glibc, a new function,
__strtof128_internal, was added to enable reading of floating-point
values with IEEE binary128 format into the _Float128 type. Now that
powerpc64le is getting support for its third long double format, and
taking into account that this format is the same as the format of
_Float128, this patch extends __vfscanf_internal and __vfwscanf_internal
to call __strtof128_internal or __wcstof128_internal when appropriate.
The result gets saved into a variable of _Float128 type.
Tested for powerpc64le.

After all that prep work, nldbl-compat.c can now use PRINTF_LDBL_IS_DBL
instead of __no_long_double to control the behavior of printf-like
functions; this is the last thing we needed __no_long_double for, so it
can go away entirely.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
The _chk variants of all of the printf functions become much simpler.
This is the last thing that we needed _IO_acquire_lock_clear_flags2
for, so it can go as well. I took the opportunity to make the headers
included and the names of all local variables consistent across all the
affected files.
Since we ultimately want to get rid of __no_long_double as well, it
must be possible to get all of the nontrivial effects of the _chk
functions by calling the _internal functions with appropriate flags.
For most of the __(v)xprintf_chk functions, this is covered by
PRINTF_FORTIFY plus some up-front argument checks that can be
duplicated. However, __(v)sprintf_chk installs a custom jump table so
that it can crash instead of overflowing the output buffer. This
functionality is moved to __vsprintf_internal, which now has a
'maxlen' argument like __vsnprintf_internal; to get the unsafe
behavior of ordinary (v)sprintf, pass -1 for that argument.
obstack_printf_chk and obstack_vprintf_chk are no longer in the same
file.
As a side-effect of the unification of both fortified and non-fortified
vdprintf initialization, this patch fixes bug 11319 for __dprintf_chk
and __vdprintf_chk, which was previously fixed only for dprintf and
vdprintf by the commit
commit 7ca890b88e

Fix reporting of I/O errors in *dprintf functions.
This patch adds a test case to avoid regressions.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
__nldbl___vsyslog_chk will ultimately want to pass PRINTF_LDBL_IS_DBL
down to __vfprintf_internal *as well as* possibly setting PRINTF_FORTIFY.
To make that possible, we need a __vsyslog_internal that takes the
same flags as printf. The code in misc/syslog.c does also get a
little simpler.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
There are a lot more printf variants than there are scanf variants,
and the code for setting up and tearing down their custom FILE
variants around the call to __vf(w)printf is more complicated and
variable. Therefore, I have added _internal versions of all the
v*printf variants, rather than introducing helper routines so that
they can all directly call __vf(w)printf_internal, as was done with
scanf.
As with the scanf changes, in this patch the _internal functions still
look at the environmental mode bits and all callers pass 0 for the
flags parameter.
Several of the affected public functions had _IO_ name aliases that
were not exported (but, in one case, appeared in libio.h anyway);
I was originally planning to leave them as aliases to avoid having
to touch internal callers, but it turns out ldbl_*_alias only work
for exported symbols, so they've all been removed instead. It also
turns out there were hardly any internal callers. _IO_vsprintf and
_IO_vfprintf *are* exported, so those two stick around.
Summary for the changes to each of the affected symbols:
_IO_vfprintf, _IO_vsprintf:
All internal calls removed, thus the internal declarations, as well
as uses of libc_hidden_proto and libc_hidden_def, were also removed.
The external symbol is now exposed via uses of ldbl_strong_alias
to __vfprintf_internal and __vsprintf_internal, respectively.
_IO_vasprintf, _IO_vdprintf, _IO_vsnprintf,
_IO_vfwprintf, _IO_vswprintf,
_IO_obstack_vprintf, _IO_obstack_printf:
All internal calls removed, thus declaration in internal headers
were also removed. They were never exported, so there are no
aliases tying them to the internal functions. I.e.: entirely gone.
__vsnprintf:
Internal calls were always preceded by macros such as
#define __vsnprintf _IO_vsnprintf, and
#define __vsnprintf vsnprintf
The macros were removed and their uses replaced with calls to the
new internal function __vsnprintf_internal. Since there were no
internal calls, the internal declaration was also removed. The
external symbol is preserved with ldbl_weak_alias to ___vsnprintf.
__vfwprintf:
All internal calls converted into calls to __vfwprintf_internal,
thus the internal declaration was removed. The function is now a
wrapper that calls __vfwprintf_internal. The external symbol is
preserved.
__vswprintf:
Similarly, but no external symbol.
__vasprintf, __vdprintf, __vfprintf, __vsprintf:
New internal wrappers. Not exported.
vasprintf, vdprintf, vfprintf, vsprintf, vsnprintf,
vfwprintf, vswprintf,
obstack_vprintf, obstack_printf:
These functions used to be aliases to the respective _IO_* function,
they are now aliases to their respective __* functions.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
Change the callers of __vfscanf_internal and __vfwscanf_internal that
want to treat 'long double' as another name for 'double' (all of which
happen to be in sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-opt/nldbl-compat.c) to communicate
this via the new flags argument, instead of the per-thread variable
__no_long_double and its __ldbl_is_dbl wrapper macro.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
Change the callers of __vfscanf_internal and __vfwscanf_internal that
want C99-compliant behavior to communicate this via the new flags
argument, rather than setting bits on the FILE object. This also
means these functions do not need to do their own locking.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
There are two flags currently defined: SCANF_LDBL_IS_DBL is the mode
used by __nldbl_ scanf variants, and SCANF_ISOC99_A is the mode used
by __isoc99_ scanf variants. In this patch, the new functions honor
these flag bits if they're set, but they still also look at the
corresponding bits of environmental state, and callers all pass zero.
The new functions do *not* have the "errp" argument possessed by
_IO_vfscanf and _IO_vfwscanf. All internal callers passed NULL for
that argument. External callers could theoretically exist, so I
preserved wrappers, but they are flagged as compat symbols and they
don't preserve the three-way distinction among types of errors that
was formerly exposed. These functions probably should have been in
the list of deprecated _IO_ symbols in 2.27 NEWS -- they're not just
aliases for vfscanf and vfwscanf.
(It was necessary to introduce ldbl_compat_symbol for _IO_vfscanf.
Please check that part of the patch very carefully, I am still not
confident I understand all of the details of ldbl-opt.)
This patch also introduces helper inlines in libio/strfile.h that
encapsulate the process of initializing an _IO_strfile object for
reading. This allows us to call __vfscanf_internal directly from
sscanf, and __vfwscanf_internal directly from swscanf, without
duplicating the initialization code. (Previously, they called their
v-counterparts, but that won't work if we want to control *both* C99
mode and ldbl-is-dbl mode using the flags argument to__vfscanf_internal.)
It's still a little awkward, especially for wide strfiles, but it's
much better than what we had.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
Now that __time64_t exists, we can switch internal function
__tz_convert from 32-bit to 64-bit time. This involves switching
some other internal functions as well, namely __tz_compute and
__offtime.
Tested with 'make check' on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux.gnu.

I noticed that, now that build-many-glibcs.py no longer copies glibc
sources, I was getting core dumps in my glibc source directories. The
cause appears to be, from the i686-gnu build:

In this case, the x86 architecture means the binary executes, but

dynamic linker unless [$(run-built-tests) = yes].
It was reported in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-12/msg00045.html> that
gen-as-const.py fails to generate test code in the case where a .sym
file has no symbols in it, so resulting in a test failing to link for
Hurd.
The relevant difference from the old awk script is that the old script
treated '--' lines as indicating that the text to do at the start of
the test (or file used to compute constants) should be output at that
point if not already output, as well as treating lines with actual
entries for constants like that. This patch changes gen-as-const.py
accordingly, making it the sole responsibility of the code parsing
.sym files to determine when such text should be output and ensuring
it's always output at some point even if there are no symbols and no
'--' lines, since not outputting it means the test fails to link.
Handling '--' like that also avoids any problems that would arise if
the first entry for a symbol were inside #ifdef (since the text in
question must not be output inside #ifdef).
Tested for x86_64, and with build-many-glibcs.py for i686-gnu. Note
that there are still compilation test failures for i686-gnu
(linknamespace tests, possibly arising from recent posix_spawn-related
changes).
* scripts/gen-as-const.py (compute_c_consts): Take an argument
'START' to indicate that start text should be output.
(gen_test): Likewise.
(main): Generate 'START' for first symbol or '--' line, or at end
of input if not previously generated.
