Linkers in some versions of binutils 2.25 and 2.26 don't support protected
data symbol with error messsage like:
/usr/bin/ld: copy reloc against protected `bar' is invalid
/usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value
We check if linker supports copy reloc against protected data symbol to
avoid running the test if linker is broken.
[BZ #17711]
* config.make.in (have-protected-data): New.
* configure.ac: Check linker support for protected data symbol.
* configure: Regenerated.
* elf/Makefile (modules-names): Add tst-protected1moda and
tst-protected1modb if $(have-protected-data) is yes.
(tests): Add tst-protected1a and tst-protected1b if
$(have-protected-data) is yes.

The merge of the latest gettext code introduced changes to the yacc
parser source that are incompatible with versions of bison older
than 2.7. Add a configure check for the appropriate versions and
document the requirement in INSTALL.

2014-12-22 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* manual/install.texi: Document that we require bison 2.7
or above.
* INSTALL: Regenerate.
* configure.ac: Use AC_CHECK_PROG_VER instead of
AC_PATH_PROG when checking for bison and check for
version 2.7 or above.
* configure: Regenerate.

It seems we require texinfo 4.7 for the --plaintext option, so
document that and check for the correct version in configure.
ChangeLog:

As discussed starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-11/msg00323.html>, this
patch makes the glibc build use -Werror by default to avoid
accidentally adding new warnings to the build. The configure option
--disable-werror can be used to disable this.
-Wno-error=undef is temporarily used because the build isn't clean
regarding -Wundef warnings. The idea is that once the remaining
-Wundef warnings have been cleaned up (in at least one configuration),
-Wno-error=undef will be removed.
I get a clean build and test on x86_64 (GCC 4.9 branch) with this
patch. The expectation is that this may well break the build for some
other configurations, and people seeing such breakage should make
appropriate fixes to fix or suppress the warnings for their
configurations. In some cases that may involve using pragmas as the
right fix (I think that will be right for the -Wno-inline issue for
MIPS I referred to in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-11/msg00798.html>, for
example), in some cases -Wno-error in sysdeps makefiles (__restore_rt
in MIPS sigaction, for example), in some cases substantive fixes for
the warnings.
Note that if, with a view to listing all the warnings then fixing them
all, you just look for "warning:" in output from building and testing
with --disable-werror, you'll see lots of warnings from the linker
about functions such as tmpnam. Those warnings can be ignored - only
compiler warnings are relevant to -Werror, not linker warnings.
* configure.ac (--disable-werror): New configure option.
(enable_werror): New AC_SUBST.

As discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-10/msg00792.html>, and
continuing into November, this patch increases the minimum GCC version
for building glibc to 4.6 (there seemed to be no clear consensus for
4.7). In particular, this allows us to use #pragma GCC diagnostic for
fine-grained warning control with -Werror (subject to establishing a
suitable policy for that use). The documentation has a statement, as
requested, about the most recent GCC version tested for building
glibc, and I've updated <https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release> to
refer to updating that statement. A NEWS entry is added for this
change, although previous such changes didn't get them.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch).
* configure.ac (libc_cv_compiler_ok): Require GCC 4.6 or later.
* configure: Regenerated.
* manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document a
requirement of GCC 4.6 or later and that GCC 4.9 is the newest
compiler verified to work.
* INSTALL: Regenerated.

This patch removes the --enable-oldest-abi configure option, which has
long been bitrotten (as reported in bug 6652). The principle of
removing this option was agreed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-07/msg00174.html>.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries other
than libc.so are unchanged by this patch and that libc.so disassembly
and symbol versions are unchanged (debug info changes because of
changed line numbers in csu/version.c).
[BZ #6652]
* Makeconfig (soversions-default-setname): Remove variable.
($(common-objpfx)soversions.i): Don't pass default_setname to
soversions.awk.

oldest_abi to abi-versions.awk.

This patch removes the first column (patterns matching configuration
names) from shlib-versions, leaving shlib-versions entry selection
based purely on sysdeps directories.
An implication of this removal is that the default for any non-Linux
ports using NPTL will be the same SONAMEs for NPTL libraries as for
Linux (as those defaults, previously limited to .*-.*-linux.*, are
left in nptl/shlib-versions and nptl_db/shlib-versions).
Special host_os handling in configure.ac that was purely for
shlib-versions is removed. (The host_os setting is still used for
libc-abis - see
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00375.html> regarding
that - but no entries there are affected by this change.)
Tested on x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.

Older versions of ld on ia64 support __ehdr_start, but generate relocs
when they shouldn't. This causes the ld.so to not run because it tries
to resolve the __ehdr_start symbol (but it's not exported).

This patch removes the configure test for working -z relro.
The use of -z relro in Makeconfig became unconditional with
commit 2e6ab1df44c412bb9d30b26a4d8a679150a7e375
Author: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
Date: Sat Oct 28 06:44:04 2006 +0000
Remove conditional code which now is unnecessary.
(commit reference from git://repo.or.cz/glibc/history), so since then
the configure test has not controlled anything about how glibc is
built - simply about whether configure succeeds and allows a build to
be attempted. The test for whether the option did something useful
(as opposed to whether it exists - which we can certainly just assume
by now) was originally added in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2004-09/msg00069.html> to
disable the option in a case when it did nothing useful on ia64 (as a
result of something deliberate in the linker on ia64). Since 2006
that disabling has been of no effect, and given that the current test
does not set libc_relro_required for ia64, it does nothing whatever
useful for the original motivating case. Also at around the same time
in 2006 the test was made to give an error for missing or broken -z
relro support on various architectures.
So effectively all the test does now is verify that, on certain
architectures, the linker has not been changed deliberately to make
the option ineffective. I see no apparent reason why such a change
should be expected, or why the build should be stopped if it were to
be made (any more than we disallow build on ia64); I think we can
trust binutils patch review to point out the consequences of any
change to COMMONPAGESIZE setting. The only thing that might now make
sense would be disabling the -z relro use on an architecture-specific
basis if there were an architecture-specific reason to consider that
to make sense; it would be for the ia64 maintainer to decide if that
makes sense for ia64 at present, but I think that could be done
through sysdeps Makefiles - no special configure tests needed.
Tested for x86_64 that this patch makes no change to the installed
shared libraries.
Together with
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-06/msg00788.html> (pending
review) this substantially eliminates architecture-specific cases from
architecture-independent configure.ac files. There remains an i386
case in sysdeps/mach/hurd/configure.ac that should properly move to
the i386 subdirectory. (There are also OS-specific cases outside
OS-specific directories; in principle I think should should also
move.)

This patch removes two powerpc special cases in the main configure.ac.
The test for rs6000 is irrelevant to currently supported
configurations (config.guess reports rs6000 for some OSes, of which
the only one currently supported by GCC is AIX, but not for Linux).
There's no need either for a special case for powerpc*-*soft;
--without-fp suffices, and GCC doesn't have any special handling of
such a triplet.
Not tested.
* configure.ac: Do not test for machine being rs6000. Do not test
for powerpc*-*soft.
* configure: Regenerated.

This patch removes configure tests for assembler CFI support (and
thereby eliminates an architecture-specific case in the main
configure.ac), instead assuming that support is present
unconditionally.
The main test was added in 2003 around the time CFI support was added
to the assembler. cfi_personality and cfi_lsda support were added to
the assembler in 2006. cfi_sections support was added in 2009, a few
weeks before binutils 2.20 was released; it's in 2.20, the minimum
supported version, so even that configure test is obsolete.
Tested x86_64 that the installed shared libraries are unchanged by
this patch.
* configure.ac (libc_cv_asm_cfi_directives): Remove configure
test.
* configure: Regenerated.
* config.h.in (HAVE_ASM_CFI_DIRECTIVES): Remove macro undefine.

This patch moves the USE_REGPARMS define from the toplevel
configure.ac to sysdeps/i386/configure.ac.

One piece of architecture-specific code in the main configure.ac is
the powerpc test that can define BROKEN_PPC_ASM_CR0. There's no need
to move this to a sysdeps configure script, or to work out what bug it
was testing in May 1998 to see if it's still relevant, since nothing
in the source tree now uses the results of this test. Thus, this
patch just removes the test in question.
Not tested.
* configure.ac (libc_cv_c_asmcr0_bug): Remove configure test.
* configure: Regenerated.
* config.h.in (BROKEN_PPC_ASM_CR0): Remove macro.

preconfigure fragments.
This patch makes non-ex-ports architectures set base_machine and
machine based on the original configured machine value in preconfigure
fragments, like ex-ports architectures, rather than in the toplevel
configure.ac.
Tested x86 that the disassembly of installed shared libraries is
unchanged by the patch.
* configure.ac (base_machine): Do not set specially for particular
machines here.

Added support for TX lock elision of pthread mutexes on s390 and
s390x. This may improve lock scaling of existing programs on TX
capable systems. The lock elision code is only built with
--enable-lock-elision=yes and then requires a GCC version supporting
the TX builtins. With lock elision default mutexes are elided via
__builtin_tbegin, if the cpu supports transactions. By default lock
elision is not enabled and the elision code is not built.

The SELinux team has indicated to me that glibc's SELinux checks
in nscd are not being carried out as they would expect the API
to be used today. They would like to move away from static header
defines for class and permissions and instead use dynamic checks
at runtime that provide an answer which is dependent on the runtime
status of SELinux i.e. more dynamic.
The following patch is a minimal change that moves us forward in
this direction.
It does the following:
* Stop checking for SELinux headers that define NSCD__SHMEMHOST.
Check only for the presence or absence of the library.
* Don't encode the specific SELinux permission constants into a
table at build time, and instead use the symbolic name for the
permission as expected.
* Lookup the "What do we do if we don't know this permission?"
policy and use that if we find SELinux's policy is older than
the glibc policy e.g. we make a request for a permission that
SELinux doesn't know about.
* Lastly, translate the class and permission and then make
the permission check. This is done every time we lookup
a permission, and this is the expected way to use the API.
SELinux will optimize this for us, and we expect the network
latencies to hide these extra library calls.
Tested on x86, x86-64, and via Fedora Rawhide since November 2013.

This patch makes the configure adds -D_CALL_ELF=1 when compiler does
not define _CALL_ELF (versions before powerpc64le support). It cleans
up compiler warnings on old compiler where _CALL_ELF is not defined
on powerpc64(be) builds.
It does by add a new config.make variable for configure-deduced
CPPFLAGS and accumulate into that (confix-extra-cppflags). It also
generalizes libc_extra_cflags so it accumulates in sysdeps configure
fragmenets.

We've stopped supporting toolchain packages older than 2009, so punting
bash-1.x is reasonable when bash-2 was released almost 20 years ago.

Nothing in the tree uses ksh anymore, so punt these checks.

Fixes build issue introduced in 8894bad3 when configure.ac is altered
and maintainer-mode is not enabled.
|
|
Autoconf is tested for and run if needed only when --enable-maintainer-mode
is used on configure. This results in the autom4te.cache directory only
being written in the source directory during configure if automatic
autoconf usage is requested.
Fixes BZ #14120.

|
|
Autoconf has been deprecating configure.in for quite a long time.
Rename all our configure.in and preconfigure.in files to .ac.
