Fix for [BZ #15680] IBM long double inaccuracy
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-06/msg00919.html
I discovered a number of places where denormals and other corner cases
were being handled wrongly.
- printf_fphex.c: Testing for the low double exponent being zero is
unnecessary. If the difference in exponents is less than 53 then the
high double exponent must be nearing the low end of its range, and the
low double exponent hit rock bottom.
- ldbl2mpn.c: A denormal (ie. exponent of zero) value is treated as
if the exponent was one, so shift mantissa left by one. Code handling
normalisation of the low double mantissa lacked a test for shift count
greater than bits in type being shifted, and lacked anything to handle
the case where the difference in exponents is less than 53 as in
printf_fphex.c.
- math_ldbl.h (ldbl_extract_mantissa): Same as above, but worse, with
code testing for exponent > 1 for some reason, probably a typo for >= 1.
- math_ldbl.h (ldbl_insert_mantissa): Round the high double as per
mpn2ldbl.c (hi is odd or explicit mantissas non-zero) so that the
number we return won't change when applying ldbl_canonicalize().
Add missing overflow checks and normalisation of high mantissa.
Correct misleading comment: "The hidden bit of the lo mantissa is
zero" is not always true as can be seen from the code rounding the hi
mantissa. Also by inspection, lzcount can never be less than zero so
remove that test. Lastly, masking bitfields to their widths can be
left to the compiler.
- mpn2ldbl.c: The overflow checks here on rounding of high double were
just plain wrong. Incrementing the exponent must be accompanied by a
shift right of the mantissa to keep the value unchanged. Above notes
for ldbl_insert_mantissa are also relevant.

CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown.
The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another
user's pseudo-terminal.
Pre-conditions for the attack:
* Attacker with local user account
* Kernel with FUSE support
* "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf
* Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts
Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file
descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and
trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current
user does not own. It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however.
In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts
is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building
and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option
to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own
risk.

BZ #15711: Avoid circular dependency for syscall.h
The generated header is compiled with `-ffreestanding' to avoid any

Such a dependency would require the implementation header to be

In current practice the generated header dependencies do not include
any of the implementation headers removed by the use of `-ffreestanding'.

Disable elision for any pthread_mutexattr_settype call
PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL requires deadlock for nesting, DEFAULT
does not. Since glibc uses the same value (0) disable elision

This implies that a program can disable elision by doing

Add elision to pthread_mutex_{try,timed,un}lock
Add elision paths to the basic mutex locks.
The normal path has a check for RTM and upgrades the lock
to RTM when available. Trylocks cannot automatically upgrade,
so they check for elision every time.
We use a 4 byte value in the mutex to store the lock
elision adaptation state. This is separate from the adaptive
spin state and uses a separate field.
Condition variables currently do not support elision.
Recursive mutexes and condition variables may be supported at some point,
but are not in the current implementation. Also "trylock" will
not automatically enable elision unless some other lock call
has been already called on the lock.
This version does not use IFUNC, so it means every lock has one
additional check for elision. Benchmarking showed the overhead
to be negligible.

Add the low level infrastructure for pthreads lock elision with TSX
Lock elision using TSX is a technique to optimize lock scaling
It allows to run locks in parallel using hardware support for
a transactional execution mode in 4th generation Intel Core CPUs.
See http://www.intel.com/software/tsx for more Information.
This patch implements a simple adaptive lock elision algorithm based
on RTM. It enables elision for the pthread mutexes and rwlocks.
The algorithm keeps track whether a mutex successfully elides or not,
and stops eliding for some time when it is not.
When the CPU supports RTM the elision path is automatically tried,
otherwise any elision is disabled.
The adaptation algorithm and its tuning is currently preliminary.
The code adds some checks to the lock fast paths. Micro-benchmarks
show little to no difference without RTM.
This patch implements the low level "lll_" code for lock elision.
Followon patches hook this into the pthread implementation
Changes with the RTM mutexes:
-----------------------------
Lock elision in pthreads is generally compatible with existing programs.
There are some obscure exceptions, which are expected to be uncommon.
See the manual for more details.
- A broken program that unlocks a free lock will crash.
There are ways around this with some tradeoffs (more code in hot paths)
I'm still undecided on what approach to take here; have to wait for testing reports.
- pthread_mutex_destroy of a lock mutex will not return EBUSY but 0.
- There's also a similar situation with trylock outside the mutex,
"knowing" that the mutex must be held due to some other condition.
In this case an assert failure cannot be recovered. This situation is
usually an existing bug in the program.
- Same applies to the rwlocks. Some of the return values changes
(for example there is no EDEADLK for an elided lock, unless it aborts.
However when elided it will also never deadlock of course)
- Timing changes, so broken programs that make assumptions about specific timing
may expose already existing latent problems. Note that these broken programs will
break in other situations too (loaded system, new faster hardware, compiler
optimizations etc.)
- Programs with non recursive mutexes that take them recursively in a thread and
which would always deadlock without elision may not always see a deadlock.
The deadlock will only happen on an early or delayed abort (which typically
happens at some point)
This only happens for mutexes not explicitely set to PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
or PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP. PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL mutexes do not elide.
The elision default can be set at configure time.
This patch implements the basic infrastructure for elision.
[BZ #15022] Correct global-scope dlopen issues in static executables.
This change creates a link map in static executables to serve as the
global search list for dlopen. It fixes a problem with the inability

DSO into the global scope. Some code that has become dead after the
addition of this link map is removed too and test cases are provided.
