Document further requirement on mixing streams / file descriptors
The gilbc manual has some documentation in llio.texi of requirements
for moving between I/O on FILE * streams and file descriptors on the
same open file description.
The documentation of what must be done on a FILE * stream to move from
it to either a file descriptor or another FILE * for the same open
file description seems to match POSIX. However, there is an
additional requirement in POSIX on the *second* of the two handles
being moved between, which is not mentioned in the glibc manual: "If
any previous active handle has been used by a function that explicitly
changed the file offset, except as required above for the first
handle, the application shall perform an lseek() or fseek() (as
appropriate to the type of handle) to an appropriate location.".
Document this requirement on seeking in the glibc manual, limited to
the case that seems relevant to glibc (the new channel is a previously
active stream, on which the seeking previously occurred). Note that
I'm not sure what the "except as required above for the first handle"
is meant to be about, so I haven't documented anything for it. As far
as I can tell, nothing specified for moving from the first handle
actually list calling a seek function as one of the steps to be done.
(Current POSIX doesn't seem to have any relevant rationale for this
section. The rationale in the 1996 edition says "In requiring the
seek to an appropriate location for the new handle, the application is
required to know what it is doing if it is passing streams with seeks
involved. If the required seek is not done, the results are undefined
(and in fact the program probably will not work on many common
implementations)." - which also doesn't help in understanding the
purpose of "except as required above for the first handle".)

libio: Fix crash in fputws [BZ #20632]
This fixes a buffer overflow in wide character string output, reproducing
when output fails, such as if the output fd is closed or is redirected
to a full device.
Wide character output data attempts to maintain the invariant that
`_IO_buf_base <= _IO_write_base <= _IO_write_end <= _IO_buf_end` (that is,
that the write region is a sub-region of `_IO_buf`). Prior to this commit,
this invariant is violated by the `_IO_wfile_overflow` function as so:
1. `_IO_wsetg` is called, assigning `_IO_write_base` to `_IO_buf_base`
2. `_IO_doallocbuf` is called, which jumps to `_IO_wfile_doallocate` via
the _IO_wfile_jumps vtable. This function then assigns the wide data
`_IO_buf_base` and `_IO_buf_end` to a malloc'd buffer.
Thus the invariant is violated. The fix is simply to reverse the order:
malloc the `_IO_buf` first and then assign `_IO_write_base` to it.
We also take this opportunity to defensively guard the initialization of
the number of unwritten characters via pointer arithmetic. We now check
that the buffer end is not before the buffer beginning; this matches a
similar defensive check in the narrow analogue `fileops.c`.

(86c5d2cf0ce046279baddc7faa27da71f1a89fde) did not take into account
a subtle sparc syscall kABI constraint. For syscalls that might block
indefinitely, on an interrupt (like SIGCONT) the kernel will set the
instruction pointer to just before the syscall:
arch/sparc/kernel/signal_64.c
476 static void do_signal(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long orig_i0)
477 {
[...]
525 if (restart_syscall) {
526 switch (regs->u_regs[UREG_I0]) {
527 case ERESTARTNOHAND:
528 case ERESTARTSYS:
529 case ERESTARTNOINTR:
530 /* replay the system call when we are done */

538 regs->tpc -= 4;
539 regs->tnpc -= 4;
540 pt_regs_clear_syscall(regs);
541 }
However, on a SIGCONT it seems that 'g1' register is being clobbered after the
syscall returns. Before 86c5d2cf0ce046279, the 'g1' was always placed jus
before the 'ta' instruction which then reloads the syscall number and restarts
the syscall.
On master, where 'g1' might be placed before 'ta':
$ cat test.c
#include <unistd.h>
int main ()
{
pause ();
}
$ gcc test.c -o test
$ strace -f ./t
[...]
ppoll(NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, 0
Just moving the 'g1' setting near the syscall asm is not suffice,
the compiler might optimize it away (as I saw on cancellation.c by
trying this fix). Instead, I have change the inline asm to put the
'g1' setup in ithe asm block. This would require to change the asm
constraint for INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NCS, since the syscall number is not

manual: Fix and test @deftypef* function formatting
The manual contained several instances of incorrect formatting
that were correct texinfo but produced incorrectly rendered manuals
or incorrect behaviour from the tooling.
The most important was incorrect quoting of function returns
by failing to use {} to quote the return. The impact of this
mistake means that 'info libc func' does not jump to the function
in question but instead to the introductory page under the assumption
that func doesn't exist. The function returns are now correctly
quoted.
The second issue was the use of a category specifier with
@deftypefun which doesn't accept a category specifier. If a category
specifier is required then @deftypefn needs to be used. This is
corrected by changing the command to @deftypefn for such functions
that used {Deprecated function} as a category.
The last issue is a missing space between the function name and the
arguments which results in odd function names like "epoll_wait(int"
instead of "epoll_wait". This also impacts the use of 'info libc'
and is corrected.
We additionally remove ';' from the end of function arguments and
add an 'int' return type for dprintf.
Lastly we add a new test check-deftype.sh which verifies the expected
formatting of @deftypefun, @deftypefunx, @deftypefn, and
@deftypefnx. The new test is also run as the summary file is
generated to ensure we don't generate incorrect results.
The existing check-safety.sh is also run directly as a test to increase
coverage since the existing tests only ran on manual install.
The new tests now run as part of the standard "make check" that
pre-commit CI runs and developers should run.

The recursive lock used on abort does not synchronize with a new process
creation (either by fork-like interfaces or posix_spawn ones), nor it
is reinitialized after fork().
Also, the SIGABRT unblock before raise() shows another race condition,
where a fork or posix_spawn() call by another thread, just after the
recursive lock release and before the SIGABRT signal, might create
programs with a non-expected signal mask. With the default option
(without POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF), the process can see SIG_DFL for
SIGABRT, where it should be SIG_IGN.
To fix the AS-safe, raise() does not change the process signal mask,
and an AS-safe lock is used if a SIGABRT is installed or the process
is blocked or ignored. With the signal mask change removal,
there is no need to use a recursive loc. The lock is also taken on
both _Fork() and posix_spawn(), to avoid the spawn process to see the
abort handler as SIG_DFL.
A read-write lock is used to avoid serialize _Fork and posix_spawn
execution. Both sigaction (SIGABRT) and abort() requires to lock
as writer (since both change the disposition).
The fallback is also simplified: there is no need to use a loop of
ABORT_INSTRUCTION after _exit() (if the syscall does not terminate the
process, the system is broken).
The proposed fix changes how setjmp works on a SIGABRT handler, where
glibc does not save the signal mask. So usage like the below will now
always abort.
static volatile int chk_fail_ok;
static jmp_buf chk_fail_buf;
static void
handler (int sig)
{
if (chk_fail_ok)
{
chk_fail_ok = 0;
longjmp (chk_fail_buf, 1);
}
else
_exit (127);
}
[...]
signal (SIGABRT, handler);
[....]
chk_fail_ok = 1;
if (! setjmp (chk_fail_buf))
{
// Something that can calls abort, like a failed fortify function.
chk_fail_ok = 0;
printf ("FAIL\n");
}
Such cases will need to use sigsetjmp instead.
The _dl_start_profile calls sigaction through _profil, and to avoid
pulling abort() on loader the call is replaced with __libc_sigaction.

Even though building glibc with 64 bit time_t flags is not supported,

Disable _FILE_OFFSET_BITS if the compiler defaults to it
Even though building glibc with LFS flags is not supported, and the
the usual way is to patch the build system to avoid it [1]; some system
do enable it by default, and it increases the requirements to build
glibc in such cases (it also does not help newcomers when trying
to build glibc).
The conform namespace and linknamespace tests also do not expect
that flag to be set by default, so disable it as well.

The -Wp does not work properly if the compiler is configured to enable
fortify by default, since it bypasses the compiler driver (which defines
the fortify flags in this case).
This patch is similar to the one used on Ubuntu [1].
I checked with a build for x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu,
aarch64-linux-gnu, s390x-linux-gnu, and riscv64-linux-gnu with
gcc-13 that enables the fortify by default.

libio: Set _vtable_offset before calling _IO_link_in [BZ #32148]
Since _IO_vtable_offset is used to detect the old binaries, set it
in _IO_old_file_init_internal before calling _IO_link_in which checks
_IO_vtable_offset. Add a glibc 2.0 test with copy relocation on
_IO_stderr_@GLIBC_2.0 to verify that fopen won't cause memory corruption.
This fixes BZ #32148.

Add a new fwrite test that exercises buffer overflow
Exercises fwrite's internal buffer when doing a file operation.
The new test, exercises 2 overflow behaviors:
1. Call fwrite multiple times making usage of fwrite's internal buffer.
The total number of bytes written is larger than fwrite's internal
buffer, forcing an automatic flush.
2. Call fwrite a single time with an amount of data that is larger than
fwrite's internal buffer.
x86/string: Fixup alignment of main loop in str{n}cmp-evex [BZ #32212]
The loop should be aligned to 32-bytes so that it can ideally run out
the DSB. This is particularly important on Skylake-Server where
deficiencies in it's DSB implementation make it prone to not being
able to run loops out of the DSB.
This results in a 25% performance degradation for the non-aligned
version.
The fix is to just ensure the code layout is such that the loop is
aligned. (Which was previously the case but was accidentally dropped
in 84e7c46df).
NB: The fix was actually 64-byte alignment. This is because 64-byte
alignment generally produces more stable performance than 32-byte
aligned code (cache line crosses can affect perf), so if we are going
past 16-byte alignmnent, might as well go to 64. 64-byte alignment
also matches most other functions we over-align, so it creates a
common point of optimization.
Times are reported as ratio of Time_With_Patch /
Time_Without_Patch. Lower is better.
The values being reported is the geometric mean of the ratio across
all tests in bench-strcmp and bench-strncmp.
Note this patch is only attempting to improve the Skylake-Server
strcmp for long strings. The rest of the numbers are only to test for
regressions.
The 2.6% regression on TGL-strcmp is due to slowdowns caused by
changes in alignment of code handling small sizes (most on the
page-cross logic). These should be safe to ignore because 1) We
previously only 16-byte aligned the function so this behavior is not
new and was essentially up to chance before this patch and 2) this
type of alignment related regression on small sizes really only comes
up in tight micro-benchmark loops and is unlikely to have any affect
on realworld performance.

Update to Unicode 16.0.0 [BZ #32168]
Unicode 16.0.0 Support: Character encoding, character type info, and
transliteration tables are all updated to Unicode 16.0.0, using
the generator scripts contributed by Mike FABIAN (Red Hat).
Changes in CHARMAP and WIDTH:
Total added characters in newly generated CHARMAP: 5185
Total removed characters in newly generated WIDTH: 1
Total added characters in newly generated WIDTH: 170
The removed character from WIDTH is U+1171E AHOM CONSONANT SIGN MEDIAL RA.
It changed like this:
EastAsianWidth.txt 15.1.0: 1171D..1171F ; N # Mn [3] AHOM CONSONANT SIGN MEDIAL LA..AHOM CONSONANT SIGN MEDIAL LIGATING RA
EastAsianWidth.txt 16.0.0: 1171E ; N # Mc AHOM CONSONANT SIGN MEDIAL RA
I.e it changed from Mn (Mark Nonspacing) to Mc (Mark Spacing
combining). So it should now have width 1 instead of 0, therefore it
is OK that it was removed from WIDTH, characters not in WIDTH get
width 1 by default.
Nothing suspicious when browsing the list of the 170 added characters.
Changes in ctype:
alpha: Added 4452 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
combining: Added 51 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
combining_level3: Added 43 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
graph: Added 5185 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
lower: Added 25 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
print: Added 5185 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
punct: Missing 33 characters of old ctype in new ctype
punct: Added 766 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
tolower: Added 27 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
totitle: Added 27 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
toupper: Added 27 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
upper: Added 27 characters in new ctype which were not in old ctype
Nothing suspicous in the additions.
About the 33 characters removed from `punct`:
U+0363 - U+036F are identical in UnicodeData.txt. Difference in DerivedCoreProperties.txt:
DerivedCoreProperties.txt 15.1.0: not there.
DerivedCoreProperties.txt 16.0.0: 0363..036F ; Alphabetic # Mn [13] COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER A..COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER X
So that’s the reason why they are added to `alpha` and removed from `punct`.
Same for U+1DD3 - U+1DE6, they are identical in UnicodeData.txt but there is a difference in DerivedCoreProperties.txt:
DerivedCoreProperties.txt 15.1.0: 1DE7..1DF4 ; Alphabetic # Mn [14] COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER ALPHA..COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS
DerivedCoreProperties.txt 16.0.0: 1DD3..1DF4 ; Alphabetic # Mn [34] COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER FLATTENED OPEN A ABOVE..COMBINING LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS
So they became `Alphabetic` and were thus added to `alpha` and removed from `punct`.
scripts: Remove arceb-linux-gnu from build-many-glibcs.py
This was discussed on the hallway track at GNU Tools Cauldron
2024. There are concerns about stability of the big-endian
GCC backend, and Linux removed support for the only big-endian
ARC platform in commit dd7c7ab01a04d645b7e7baa8530bfd81e31a2202
("ARC: [plat-eznps]: Drop support for EZChip NPS platform").
In Linux 6.11, fstat and newfstatat are added back. To avoid the messy
usage of the fstat, newfstatat, and statx system calls, we will continue
using statx only in glibc, maintaining consistency with previous versions of
the LoongArch-specific glibc implementation.
Use the setresuid32 system call if it is available, prefering
it over setresuid. If both system calls exist, setresuid
is the 16-bit variant. This fixes a build failure on
sparcv9-linux-gnu.
elf: Move __rtld_malloc_init_stubs call into _dl_start_final
Calling an extern function in a different translation unit before
self-relocation is brittle. The compiler may load the address
at an earlier point in _dl_start, before self-relocation. In
_dl_start_final, the call is behind a compiler barrier, so this
cannot happen.
elf: Remove version assert in check_match in elf/dl-lookup.c
This case is detected early in the elf/dl-version.c consistency
checks. (These checks could be disabled in the future to allow
the removal of symbol versioning from objects.)
Commit f0b2132b35 ("ld.so: Support moving versioned symbols between
sonames [BZ #24741]) removed another call to _dl_name_match_p. The
_dl_check_caller function no longer exists, and the remaining calls
to _dl_name_match_p happen under the loader lock. This means that
atomic accesses are no longer required for the l_libname list. This
supersedes commit 395be7c218 ("elf: Fix data race in _dl_name_match_p
[BZ #21349]").
iconv: Use $(run-program-prefix) for running iconv (bug 32197)
With --enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests, $(test-program-prefix)
does not redirect to the built glibc, but we need to run
iconv (the program) against the built glibc even with
--enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests, as it is using the ABI
path for the dynamic linker (as an installed program).
Use $(run-program-prefix) instead.

around a little - comments adjusted accordingly but does not require
regen-ulps.
Use the helper in log1pf as well, instead of having separate
implementations. The more accurate polynomial means special-casing can
be simplified, and the shorter dependency chain avoids the usual dance
around v0, which is otherwise difficult.
There is a small duplication of vectors containing 1.0f (or 0x3f800000) -
GCC is not currently able to efficiently handle values which fit in FMOV
but not MOVI, and are reinterpreted to integer. There may be potential
for more optimisation if this is fixed.

Also rearrange some MLAs and MLSs - by making the multiplicand the
destination we can avoid a MOVPRFX in several cases. Also change which
constants go in the vector used for lanewise ops - the last lane is no
longer wasted.
Spotted that shift was incorrect in exp2f and exp10f, w.r.t. to the
comment that explains it. Fixed - worst-case ULP for exp2f moves
around but it doesn't change significantly for either routine.
Worst-case error for coshf increases due to passing x to exp rather
than abs(x) - updated the comment, but does not require regen-ulps.
