x86-64 memcmp: Use unsigned Jcc instructions on size [BZ #24155]
Since the size argument is unsigned. we should use unsigned Jcc instructions, instead of signed, to check size. Tested on x86-64 and x32, with and without --disable-multi-arch. [BZ #24155] CVE-2019-7309 * NEWS: Updated for CVE-2019-7309. * sysdeps/x86_64/memcmp.S: Use RDX_LP for size. Clear the upper 32 bits of RDX register for x32. Use unsigned Jcc instructions, instead of signed. * sysdeps/x86_64/x32/Makefile (tests): Add tst-size_t-memcmp-2. * sysdeps/x86_64/x32/tst-size_t-memcmp-2.c: New test. (cherry picked from commit 3f635fb43389b54f682fc9ed2acc0b2aaf4a923d)

+Version 2.29.1
+
+The following bugs are resolved with this release:
+
+ [24155] x32 memcmp can treat positive length as 0 (if sign bit in RDX is set) (CVE-2019-7309)
+
+Security related changes:
+
+ CVE-2019-7309: x86-64 memcmp used signed Jcc instructions to check
+ size. For x86-64, memcmp on an object size larger than SSIZE_MAX
+ has undefined behavior. On x32, the size_t argument may be passed
+ in the lower 32 bits of the 64-bit RDX register with non-zero upper
+ 32 bits. When it happened with the sign bit of RDX register set,
+ memcmp gave the wrong result since it treated the size argument as
+ zero. Reported by H.J. Lu.
