PowerPC: Fix bzero definition for static libc for PPC32
This patch fixes an issue for powerpc32-fpu static build which fails
with an 'bzero' undefined reference. This patch adds bzero ifunc selector
for static builds and fixes the '__bzero_ppc' reference to default
memset symbol (since static memset build does not provide ifunc
selector).
PowerPC: Fix bzero definition for static libc for PPC64
This patch fixes an issue for powerpc64[le] static build where __bzero
is definied in multiple places (memset-ppc64.o and bzero.o). It is now
defined only in bzero.o and memset-ppc64.o only defined __bzero_ppc for
both dynamic and static library.
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
> hashing of needle.
> hashing avoids scanning of duplicate entries in needle across the string.
> initializing the hash table with Vector instructions (VSX) by quadword access.
> unrolling when scanning for character in string across hash table.
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
1. Doubleword aligned memory access and compares using
cmpb instruction.
2. Loop unrolling for byte load/store.
3. CPU pre-fetch to avoid cache miss.
This patch optimizes strrchr() for ppc64. It uses aligned memory
access along with cmpb instruction and CPU prefetch to avoid
cache misses for speed improvement.
This patch add a optimized llround/llroundf implementation for POWER8
using the new Move From VSR Doubleword instruction to gains some

This patch add a optimized finite/finitef implementation for POWER8

This patch add a optimized isinf/isinff implementation for POWER8
using the new Move From VSR Doubleword instruction to gains some

This patch add a optimized isnan/isnanf implementation for POWER8

BZ #16529: Fix pedantic warning with netinet/in.h.
When compiling with pedantic the following warning is seen:
gcc -Wall -pedantic -O0 -o test test.c
In file included from test.c:3:0:
/path/inet/netinet/in.h:111:21: warning: comma at end of \
enumerator list [-Wpedantic]
IPPROTO_MH = 135, /* IPv6 mobility header. */
^
It is valid C99 to have a trailing comma after the last item in
an enumeration. However it is not valid C90. If possible glibc
attempts to keep all headers C90 + long long without requiring
C99 features. In this case it's easy to fix the headers and it
removes the warning seem with -pedantic.

Fix tst-setgetname for Linux kernels < 2.6.33.
Support for /proc/self/task/$tid/comm as added in Linux 2.6.33,
therefore since the test tst-setgetname relies on this functionality
to operate we must skip the test in kernels < 2.6.33. We wrap the
checks with __ASSUME_PROC_PID_TASK_COMM such that in the future when
we move arch_minimum_kernel to 2.6.33 we can remove this code.
Fix infinite loop in ftell when writing wide char data (BZ #16398)
ftell tries to avoid flushing the buffer when it is in write mode by
converting the wide char data and placing it into the binary buffer.
If the output buffer space is full and there is data to write, the
code reverts to flushing the buffer. This breaks when there is space
in the buffer but it is not enough to convert the next character in
the wide data buffer, due to which __codecvt_do_out returns a
__codecvt_partial status. In this case, ftell keeps running in an
infinite loop.
The fix here is to detect the __codecvt_partial status in addition to
checking if the buffer is full. I have also added a test case that
demonstrates the infinite loop.
This patch creates implicit rules to match the abifiles if
abilist-pattern is defined in the architecture Makefile. This allows
machine specific Makefiles to define different abifiles names
(for instance *-le.abilist for powerpc64le).

The mixed use of automatic and manual node next, previous,

This fix explicitly specifies the node's next, previous and top

Fixes to address issues from BZ #15022 resolution, as follows:
* TLS updates to csu/libc-tls.c -- we now have a proper main map, so
there's no longer a need to create a separate fake one to keep TLS
structures,
* random updates to elf/dl-close.c -- LM_ID_BASE is now a valid name
space ID for static executables as well, so assert that we don't
unload the main map. Similarly dl_nns isn't supposed to be 0 for
static executables anymore,
* actual BZ #16046 fix to elf/dl-iteratephdr.c -- the dl_iterate_phdr
special function for static executables isn't needed anymore, provided
that l_phdr and l_phnum members of the main map have been properly
initialized (done in _dl_non_dynamic_init in elf/dl-support.c now),
* ld.so.cache loader update to elf/dl-load.c --
GL(dl_ns)[LM_ID_BASE]._ns_loaded is now always initialized in static
executables so can become the fallback loader map to check for
DF_1_NODEFLIB, provided that the l_flags_1 member of the main map has
been properly initialized (done in elf/dl-support.c now); this also
ensures previous semantics elsewhere in elf/dl-load.c,
* matching updates to elf/dl-support.c -- to complement the two fixes
above.

Disable x87 inline functions for SSE2 math
When i386 and x86-64 mathinline.h was merged into a single mathinline.h,
"gcc -m32" enables x87 inline functions on x86-64 even when -mfpmath=sse
and SSE2 is enabled. It is a regression on x86-64. We should check
__SSE2_MATH__ instead of __x86_64__ when disabling x87 inline functions.

Fix invalid memory access when parsing netgroup files with blank lines (BZ #16506)
The netgroups file parsing code tries to access the character before
the newline in parsed lines to see if it is a backslash (\). This
results in an access before the block allocated for the line if the
line is blank, i.e. does not have anything other than the newline
character. This doesn't seem like it will cause any crashes because
the byte belongs to the malloc metadata block and hence access to it
will always succeed.
There could be an invalid alteration in code flow where a blank line
is seen as a continuation due to the preceding byte *happening* to be
'\\'. This could be done by interposing malloc, but that's not really
a security problem since one could interpose getnetgrent_r itself and
achieve a similar 'exploit'.
The possibility of actually exploiting this is remote to impossible
since it also requires the previous line to end with a '\\', which
would happen only on invalid configurations.
