Use clock_gettime to implement timespec_get.
timespec_get is the same function as clock_gettime, with an obnoxious
coating of NIH painted on it by the ISO C committee. In addition to
the rename, it takes its arguments in a different order, it returns 0
on *failure* or a positive number on *success*, and it requires that
all of its TIME_* constants be positive. This last means we cannot
directly reuse the existing CLOCK_* constants for it, because
those have been allocated starting with CLOCK_REALTIME = 0 on all
existing platforms.
This patch simply promotes the sysdeps/posix implementation to
universal, and removes the Linux-specific implementation, whose
apparent reason for existing was to cut out one function call's worth
of overhead.

ftime is an obsolete variation on gettimeofday, offering only
millisecond time resolution; it was probably a system call in ooold
versions of BSD Unix. For historic reasons, we had three
implementations of it. These are all consolidated into time/ftime.c,
and then the function is deprecated.
For some reason, the implementation of ftime in terms of gettimeofday
was rounding rather than truncating microseconds to milliseconds. In
all the other places where we use a higher-resolution time function to
implement a lower-resolution one, we truncate. ftime is changed to
match, just for tidiness' sake.
Like gettimeofday, ftime tries to report the time zone, and using that
information is always a bug. This patch dummies out the reported
timezone information; the timezone and dstflag fields of the
returned "struct timeb" will always be zero.

As for gettimeofday, time will be implemented based on clock_gettime
on all platforms and internal code should use clock_gettime
directly. In addition to removing a layer of indirection, this will

The changed code always assumes __clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME)

fail, using the same rationale for gettimeofday change. And internal

CLOCK_REALTIME clockid. This takes less CPU time and its behavior

Use clock_settime to implement settimeofday.
Unconditionally, on all ports, use clock_settime to implement
settimeofday. Remove sysdeps/unix/clock_settime.c, which implemented
clock_settime by calling settimeofday; new OS ports must henceforth
provide a real implementation of clock_settime.
Hurd had a real implementation of settimeofday but not of
clock_settime; this patch converts it into an implementation of
clock_settime. It only supports CLOCK_REALTIME and microsecond
resolution; Hurd/Mach does not appear to have any support for
finer-resolution clocks.
The vestigial "set time zone" feature of settimeofday complicates the
generic settimeofday implementation a little. The only remaining uses
of this feature that aren't just bugs, are using it to inform the
Linux kernel of the offset between the hardware clock and UTC, on
systems where the hardware clock doesn't run in UTC (usually because
of dual-booting with Windows). There currently isn't any other way to
do this. However, the callers that do this call settimeofday with
_only_ the timezone argument non-NULL. Therefore, glibc's new
behavior is: callers of settimeofday must supply one and only one of
the two arguments. If both arguments are non-NULL, or both arguments
are NULL, the call fails and sets errno to EINVAL.
When only the timeval argument is supplied, settimeofday calls
__clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME), same as stime.
When only the timezone argument is supplied, settimeofday calls a new
internal function called __settimezone. On Linux, only, this function
will pass the timezone structure to the settimeofday system call. On
all other operating systems, and on Linux architectures that don't
define __NR_settimeofday, __settimezone is a stub that always sets
errno to ENOSYS and returns -1.
The settimeoday syscall is enabled on Linux by the flag
COMPAT_32BIT_TIME, which is an option to either 32-bits ABIs or COMPAT
builds (defined usually by 64-bit kernels that want to support 32-bit
ABIs, such as x86). The idea to future 64-bit time_t only ABIs
is to not provide settimeofday syscall.
The same semantics are implemented for Linux/Alpha's GLIBC_2.0 compat
symbol for settimeofday.
There are no longer any internal callers of __settimeofday, so the
internal prototype is removed.

Change most internal uses of __gettimeofday to __clock_gettime.
Since gettimeofday will shortly be implemented in terms of
clock_gettime on all platforms, internal code should use clock_gettime
directly; in addition to removing a layer of indirection, this will
allow us to remove the PLT-bypass gunk for gettimeofday. (We can't
quite do that yet, but it'll be coming later in this patch series.)
In many cases, the changed code does fewer conversions.
The changed code always assumes __clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME)
cannot fail. Most of the call sites were assuming gettimeofday could
not fail, but a few places were checking for errors. POSIX says
clock_gettime can only fail if the clock constant is invalid or
unsupported, and CLOCK_REALTIME is the one and only clock constant
that's required to be supported. For consistency I grepped the entire
source tree for any other places that checked for errors from
__clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME), found one, and changed it too.
(For the record, POSIX also says gettimeofday can never fail.)
(It would be nice if we could declare that GNU systems will always
support CLOCK_MONOTONIC as well as CLOCK_REALTIME; there are several
places where we are using CLOCK_REALTIME where _MONOTONIC would be
more appropriate, and/or trying to use _MONOTONIC and then falling
back to _REALTIME. But the Hurd doesn't support CLOCK_MONOTONIC yet,
and it looks like adding it would involve substantial changes to
gnumach's internals and API. Oh well.)
A few Hurd-specific files were changed to use __host_get_time instead
of __clock_gettime, as this seemed tidier. We also assume this cannot
fail. Skimming the code in gnumach leads me to believe the only way
it could fail is if __mach_host_self also failed, and our
Hurd-specific code consistently assumes that can't happen, so I'm
going with that.
With the exception of support/support_test_main.c, test cases are not
modified, mainly because I didn't want to have to figure out which
test cases were testing gettimeofday specifically.
The definition of GETTIME in sysdeps/generic/memusage.h had a typo and
was not reading tv_sec at all. I fixed this. It appears nobody has been
generating malloc traces on a machine that doesn't have a superseding
definition.
There are a whole bunch of places where the code could be simplified
by factoring out timespec subtraction and/or comparison logic, but I
want to keep this patch as mechanical as possible.

Linux/Alpha: don't use timeval32 system calls.
Linux/Alpha has two versions of several system call wrappers that take
or return data of type "struct timeval" (possibly nested inside a
larger structure). The GLIBC_2.0 version is a compat symbol that
calls __NR_osf_foo or __NR_old_foo and uses a struct timeval with a
32-bit tv_sec field. The GLIBC_2.1 version is used for current code,
calls __NR_foo, and uses a struct timeval with a 64-bit tv_sec field.
This patch changes all of the compat symbols of this type to be
wrappers around their GLIBC_2.1 counterparts; the compatibility system
calls will no longer be used. It serves as a proposal for part of how
we do the transition to 64-bit time_t on systems that currently use
32-bit time_t:
* The patched glibc will NOT use system calls that involve 32-bit
time_t to implement its compatibility symbols. This will make both
our lives and the kernel maintainers' lives easier. The primary
argument I've seen against it is that the kernel could warn about
uses of the old system calls, helping people find old binaries that
need to be recompiled. I think there are several other ways we
could accomplish this, e.g. scripts to scan the filesystem for
binaries with references to the old symbol versions, or issuing
diagnostics ourselves.
* The compat symbols do NOT report failure after the Y2038 deadline.
An earlier revision of this patch had them return -1 and set errno
to EOVERFLOW, but Adhemerval pointed out that many of them have
already performed side effects at the point where we discover the
overflow, so that would break more than it fixes. Also, we don't
want people to be _checking_ for EOVERFLOW from these functions; we
want them to recompile with 64-bit time_t. So it's not actually
useful for them to report failure to the calling code.
* What they do do, when they encounter overflow, is saturate the
overflowed "struct timeval"(s): tv_sec is set to INT32_MAX and
tv_nsec is set to 999999. That means time stops advancing for
programs with 32-bit time_t when they reach the deadline. That's
obviously going to break stuff, but I think wrapping around is
probably going to break _more_ stuff. I'd be interested to hear
arguments against, if anyone has one.
The new header file tv32-compat.h is currently Alpha-specific but I
mean for it to be reused to aid in writing wrappers for all affected
architectures. I only put it in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha for now
because I haven't checked whether the various "foo32" structures it
defines agree with the ABI for ports other than Linux/Alpha.

y2038: linux: Provide __clock_getres64 implementation
This patch provides new __clock_getres64 explicit 64 bit function for
getting the resolution (precision) of specified clock ID. Moreover, a
32 bit version - __clock_getres has been refactored to internally use
__clock_getres64.
The __clock_getres is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting
32 bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary conversion from 64 bit
struct __timespec64 to struct timespec.
The new clock_getres_time64 syscall available from Linux 5.1+ has been used,
when applicable.
On systems which are not supporting clock_getres_time64 (as their
clock_getres supports 64 bit time ABI) the vDSO syscall is attempted.
On the contrary the non-vDSO syscall is used for clock_getres_time64 as
up till now the kernel is not providing such interface.
No additional checks (i.e. if tv_nsec value overflow) are performed on
values returned via clock_getres{_time64} syscall, as it is assumed that
the Linux kernel will either return 0 and provide correct value or error.
The check for tv_sec being out of range on systems still supporting 32 bit
time (__TIMESIZE != 64) without Y2038 time support is also omitted as it is
_very_ unlikely that we would have a timer with resolution which exceeds 32
bit time_t range.

syscall are different than the old ones:
1. They do not expect IPC_64, meaning __IPC_64 should be set to zero

some 32-bit ABIs (which expectes __IPC_64 being 0x0) and simplify
new ports (which will no longer need to add ipc_priv.h).

A reader needs to know that it was written by someone who is generally

U.S. administrations have tried to restrict the medical advice that
U.S.-funded health care workers can provide abroad, considering that
censorship.)
The warning is also misleading on a technical level. A reader who

2. The generic implementation follow the kernel ipc64_perm size so the
syscall can be made directly without temporary buffer copy. However,
since glibc defines the MODE field as mode_t, it omits the __PAD1 field
(since glibc does not export mode_t as 16-bit for any architecture).
It is a two-fold improvement:
2.1. New implementation which follow Linux UAPI will not need to
provide an arch-specific ipc-perm.h header neither wrongly
use the wrong 16-bit definition from previous default ipc.h
(as csky did).
2.1. It allows consolidate ipc_perm definition for architectures that
already provide mode_t as 32-bit.
3. All kernel ABIs for the supported architectures already provides the
expected padding for mode type extension to 32-bit. However, some
architectures the padding has the wrong placement, so it requires
the ipc control routines (msgctl, semctl, and shmctl) to adjust the
mode field accordingly. Currently they are armeb, microblaze, m68k,
s390, and sheb.
A new assume is added, __ASSUME_SYSVIPC_BROKEN_MODE_T, which the
required ABIs define.
4. For the ABIs that define __ASSUME_SYSVIPC_BROKEN_MODE_T, it also
require compat symbols that do not adjust the mode field.
Checked on arm-linux-gnueabihf, aarch64-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,

y2038: linux: Provide __clock_settime64 implementation
This patch provides new __clock_settime64 explicit 64 bit function for
setting the time. Moreover, a 32 bit version - __clock_settime - has been
refactored to internally use __clock_settime64.
The __clock_settime is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting
32 bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary conversion to 64 bit
struct timespec.
The new clock_settime64 syscall available from Linux 5.1+ has been used,
when applicable.
In this patch the internal padding (tv_pad) of struct __timespec64 is
left untouched (on systems with __WORDSIZE == 32) as Linux kernel ignores
upper 32 bits of tv_nsec.
Build tests:
- The code has been tested on x86_64/x86 (native compilation):
make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" && make xcheck PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8"
- The glibc has been build tested (make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8") for
x86 (i386), x86_64-x32, and armv7
Run-time tests:
- Run specific tests on ARM/x86 32bit systems (qemu):
https://github.com/lmajewski/meta-y2038 and run tests:
https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038-tests/commits/master
- Use of cross-test-ssh.sh for ARM (armv7):
make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" test-wrapper='./cross-test-ssh.sh root@192.168.7.2' xcheck
Linux kernel, headers and minimal kernel version for glibc build test
matrix:
- Linux v5.1 (with clock_settime64) and glibc build with v5.1 as minimal
kernel version (--enable-kernel="5.1.0")
The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS flag defined.
- Linux v5.1 and default minimal kernel version
The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS not defined, but kernel supports
__clock_settime64 syscalls.
- Linux v4.19 (no clock_settime64 support) with default minimal kernel
version for contemporary glibc
This kernel doesn't support __clock_settime64 syscalls, so the fallback
to clock_settime is tested.
The above tests were performed with Y2038 redirection applied as well as
without (so the __TIMESIZE != 64 execution path is checked as well).
No regressions were observed.
* include/time.h (__clock_settime64):
Add __clock_settime alias according to __TIMESIZE define

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/clock_settime.c (__clock_settime64):

This patch replaces the fork+exec by posix_spawn on wordexp, which
allows a better scability on Linux and simplifies the thread
cancellation handling.
The only change which can not be implemented with posix_spawn the
/dev/null check to certify it is indeed the expected device. I am
not sure how effetive this check is since /dev/null tampering means
something very wrong with the system and this is the least of the
issues. My view is the tests is really out of the place and the
hardening provided is minimum.
If the idea is still to provide such check, I think a possibilty
would be to open /dev/null, check it, add a dup2 file action, and
close the file descriptor.
Checked on powerpc64le-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.

prototype.

This patch changes how the fallback getdents64 implementation calls
non-LFS getdents by replacing the scratch_buffer with static buffer
plus a loop on getdents calls. This avoids the potential malloc
call on scratch_buffer_set_array_size for large input buffer size
at the cost of more getdents syscalls.
It also adds a small optimization for older kernels, where the first
ENOSYS failure for getdents64 disable subsequent calls.
Check the dirent tests on a mips64-linux-gnu with getdents64 code
disabled.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/getdents64.c (__getdents64):

Make tst-strftime2 and tst-strftime3 depend on locale generation
Building the test cases in parallel might make tst-strftime2 and
tst-strftime3 fail. Simply re-running the test case (or building
serially) makes the problem go away. This patch adds the necessary
dependency to allow parallel builds in the time subdirectory.
Tested for powerpc64le.

riscv: Remove support for variable page sizes

RISC-V does not need this. The RISC-V Instruction Set Manual,

After much deliberation, we have settled on a conventional
page size of 4 KiB for both RV32 and RV64. We expect this
decision to ease the porting of low-level runtime software
and device drivers. The TLB reach problem is ameliorated by
transparent superpage support in modern operating systems
[2]. Additionally, multi-level TLB hierarchies are quite
inexpensive relative to the multi-level cache hierarchies
whose address space they map.

Split up endian.h to minimize exposure of BYTE_ORDER.
With only two exceptions (sys/types.h and sys/param.h, both of which
historically might have defined BYTE_ORDER) the public headers that
include <endian.h> only want to be able to test __BYTE_ORDER against
__*_ENDIAN.
This patch creates a new bits/endian.h that can be included by any
header that wants to be able to test __BYTE_ORDER and/or
__FLOAT_WORD_ORDER against the __*_ENDIAN constants, or needs
__LONG_LONG_PAIR. It only defines macros in the implementation
namespace.
The existing bits/endian.h (which could not be included independently
of endian.h, and only defines __BYTE_ORDER and maybe __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER)
is renamed to bits/endianness.h. I also took the opportunity to
canonicalize the form of this header, which we are stuck with having
one copy of per architecture. Since they are so short, this means git
doesn’t understand that they were renamed from existing headers, sigh.
endian.h itself is a nonstandard header and its only remaining use
from a standard header is guarded by __USE_MISC, so I dropped the
__USE_MISC conditionals from around all of the public-namespace things
it defines. (This means, an application that requests strict library
conformance but includes endian.h will still see the definition of
BYTE_ORDER.)
A few changes to specific bits/endian(ness).h variants deserve
mention:
- sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/bits/endian.h is moved to
sysdeps/ia64/bits/endianness.h. If I remember correctly, ia64 did
have selectable endianness, but we have assembly code in
sysdeps/ia64 that assumes it’s little-endian, so there is no reason
to treat the ia64 endianness.h as linux-specific.
- The C-SKY port does not fully support big-endian mode, the compile
will error out if __CSKYBE__ is defined.
- The PowerPC port had extra logic in its bits/endian.h to detect a
broken compiler, which strikes me as unnecessary, so I removed it.
- The only files that defined __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER always defined it to
the same value as __BYTE_ORDER, so I removed those definitions.
The SH bits/endian(ness).h had comments inconsistent with the
actual setting of __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER, which I also removed.
- I *removed* copyright boilerplate from the few bits/endian(ness).h
headers that had it; these files record a single fact in a fashion
dictated by an external spec, so I do not think they are copyrightable.
As long as I was changing every copy of ieee754.h in the tree, I
noticed that only the MIPS variant includes float.h, because it uses
LDBL_MANT_DIG to decide among three different versions of
ieee854_long_double. This patch makes it not include float.h when
GCC’s intrinsic __LDBL_MANT_DIG__ is available.

There is consensus in the glibc community that documentation of why a
change was done (i.e. a detailed description in a git commit) is more
useful than what changed (i.e. a ChangeLog entry) since the latter can
be deduced from the patch. The GNU community would however like to
keep the option of ascertaining what changed through a ChangeLog-like
output and as a compromise, it was proposed that a script be developed
that generates this output.
The script below is the result of these discussions. This script
takes two git revisions references as input and generates the git log
between those revisions in a form that resembles a ChangeLog. Its
capabilities and limitations are listed in a comment in the script.
On a high level it is capable of parsing C code and telling what
changed at the top level, but not within constructs such as functions.
Design
------
At a high level, the script analyses the raw output of a VCS, parses
the source files that have changed and attempts to determine what
changed. The script driver needs three distinct components to be
fully functional for a repository:
- A vcstocl_quirks.py file that helps it parse weird patterns in
sources that may result from preprocessor defines.
- A VCS plugin backend; the git backend is implemented for glibc
- A programming language parser plugin. C is currently implemented.
Additional programming language parsers can be added to give more
detailed output for changes in those types of files.
For input in languages other than those that have a parser, the script
only identifies if a file has been added, removed, modified,
permissions changed, etc. but cannot understand the change in content.
The C Parser
------------
The C parser is capable of parsing C programs with preprocessor macros
in place, as if they were part of the language. This presents some
challenges with parsing code that expands macros on the fly and to
help work around that, a vcstocl_quirks.py file has transformations to
ease things.
The C parser currently can identify macro definitions and scopes and
all global and static declarations and definitions. It cannot parse
(and compare) changes inside functions yet, it could be a future
enhancement if the need for it arises.
Testing
-------
The script has been tested with the glibc repository up to glibc-2.29
and also in the past with emacs. While it would be ideal to have
something like this in a repository like gnulib, that should not be a
bottleneck for glibc to start using this, so this patch proposes to
add these scripts into glibc.
And here is (hopefully!) one of the last ChangeLog entries we'd have
to write for glibc:
* scripts/gitlog_to_changelog.py: New script to auto-generate
ChangeLog.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/frontend_c.py: New file.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/misc_util.py: New file.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/vcs_git.py: New file.
* scripts/vcs_to_changelog/vcstocl_quirks.py: Likewise.

[powerpc] SET_RESTORE_ROUND optimizations and bug fix
SET_RESTORE_ROUND brackets a block of code, temporarily setting and
restoring the rounding mode and letting everything else, including
exceptions generated within the block, pass through.
On powerpc, the current code clears the exception enables, which will hide
exceptions generated within the block. This issue was introduced by me
in commit e905212627350d54b58426214b5a54ddc852b0c9.
Fix this by not clearing exception enable bits in the prologue.
Also, since we are no longer changing the enable bits in either the
prologue or the epilogue, there is no need to test for entering/exiting
non-stop mode.
Also, optimize the prologue get/save/set rounding mode operations for
POWER9 and later by using 'mffscrn' when possible.

Fix RISC-V vfork build with Linux 5.3 kernel headers.
Building glibc for RISC-V with Linux 5.3 kernel headers fails because
<linux/sched.h>, included in vfork.S for CLONE_* constants, contains a
structure definition not safe for inclusion in assembly code.
All other architectures already avoid use of that header in vfork.S,
either defining the CLONE_* constants locally or embedding the
required values directly in the relevant instruction, where they
implement vfork using the clone syscall (see the implementations for
aarch64, ia64, mips and nios2). This patch makes the RISC-V version
define the constants locally like the other architectures.
Tested build for all three RISC-V configurations in
build-many-glibcs.py with Linux 5.3 headers.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/riscv/vfork.S: Do not include
<linux/sched.h>.

Add UNSUPPORTED check in elf/tst-pldd.
The testcase forks a child process and runs pldd with PID of
this child. On systems where /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
differs from zero, pldd will fail with
/usr/bin/pldd: cannot attach to process 3: Operation not permitted
This patch checks if ptrace_scope exists, is zero "classic ptrace permissions"
or one "restricted ptrace". If ptrace_scope exists and has a higher
restriction, then the test is marked as UNSUPPORTED.
The case "restricted ptrace" is handled by rearranging the processes involved
during the test. Now we have the following process tree:
-parent: do_test (performs output checks)
--subprocess 1: pldd_process (becomes pldd via execve)
---subprocess 2: target_process (ptraced via pldd)
There is no need to sparc64 provide an arch-specific implementation to
route to POSIX one (which uses gettimeofday). Linux one already handles
the case for architecture that does not have __NR_time.
No semantic changes, checked against a build for sparc64-linux-gnu.
