This test was failing in some powerpc systems as it was not checking for ENOSPC return. As said on the Linux man-pages and can be observed by the implementation at mm/mprotect.c in the Linux Kernel source. The syscall pkey_alloc can return EINVAL or ENOSPC. ENOSPC will indicate either that all keys are in use or that the kernel does not support pkeys. Reviewed-by: Gabriel F. T. Gomes <gabriel@inconstante.net.br>

2019-10-30Revise the documentation of simple calendar time.Zack Weinberg4-471/+611
This is a thorough revision of all the material relating to the functions time, stime, gettimeofday, settimeofday, clock_gettime, clock_getres, clock_settime, and difftime, spilling over into the discussion of time-related data types (which now get their own section) and touching the adjtime family as well (which deserves its own thorough revision, but I'd have to do a bunch of research first). Substantive changes are: * Document clock_gettime, clock_getres, and clock_settime. (Only CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC are documented; the others are either a bit too Linux-specific, or have more to do with measuring CPU/processor time. That section _also_ deserves its own thorough revision but again I'd have to do a bunch of research first.) * Present gettimeofday, settimeofday, and struct timeval as obsolete relative to clock_*. * Remove the documentation of struct timezone. Matching POSIX, say that the type of the second argument to gettimeofday and settimeofday is [const] void *. * Clarify ISO C and POSIX's requirements on time_t. Clarify the circumstances under which difftime is equivalent to simple subtraction. * Consolidate documentation of most of the time-related data types into a new section "Time Types," right after "Time Basics." (The exceptions are struct tm, which stays in "Broken-down Time," and struct times, which stays in "Processor And CPU Time." * The "Elapsed Time" section is now called "Calculating Elapsed Time" and includes only difftime and the discussion of how to compute timeval differences by hand. * Fold the "Simple Calendar Time," "High Resolution Calendar," and "High Accuracy Clock" sections together into two new sections titled "Getting the Time" and "Setting and Adjusting the Time."
2019-10-11manual: Remove warning in the documentation of the abort functionFlorian Weimer1-8/+0
The warning is confusing to those who do not understand the context, and the warning is easy to misunderstand: A reader needs to know that it was written by someone who is generally skeptical of government influence and control, otherwise it reads as an affirmation of the U.S. government's role as the ultimate editor of the manual. This is precisely the opposite of what the warning intends to convey. (Reportedly, it criticizes that several U.S. administrations have tried to restrict the medical advice that U.S.-funded health care workers can provide abroad, considering that censorship.) The warning is also misleading on a technical level. A reader who makes the connection to pregnancy termination will get the wrong impression that calling the abort function will terminate subprocesses of the current process, but this is not what generally happens. Finally, for both GNU and the FSF, it is inappropriate to use female reproductive health as mere joke material, since these organizations do not concern themselves with such issues otherwise, and the warning is purportedly about something else entirely. This reinstates commit 340d9652b9d0e1d4136588f18b726662d195777c ("manual/startup.texi (Aborting a Program): Remove inappropriate joke."), effectively reverting the revert in commit ffa81c22a3ac0fb75ad9bf2b1c3cdbf9eafa0bc9 ("Revert:").

2019-08-19nss: Make nsswitch.conf more distribution friendly.Carlos O'Donell1-5/+19
The current default nsswitch.conf file provided by glibc is not very distribution friendly. The file contains some minimal directives that no real distribution uses. This update aims to provide a rich set of comments which are useful for all distributions, and a broader set of service defines which should work for all distributions. Tested defaults on x86_64 and they work. The nsswitch.conf file more closely matches what we have in Fedora now, and I'll adjust Fedora to use this version with minor changes to enable Fedora-specific service providers. v2 - Add missing databases to manual. - Add link to manual from default nsswitch.conf. - Sort nsswitch.conf according to most used database first. v3 - Only mention implemented services in 'NSS Basics.' - Mention 'automount' in 'Services in the NSS configuration.' - Sort services in alphabetical order. v4 - Project name is 'Samba'. v5 - Fix typo in manual/nss.texi. v6 - Fix another typo in manual/nss.texi. Ran spell checker this time.
2019-08-15Make totalorder and totalordermag functions take pointer arguments.Joseph Myers1-14/+16
The resolution of C floating-point Clarification Request 25 <http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2397.htm#dr_25> is that the totalorder and totalordermag functions should take pointer arguments, and this has been adopted in C2X (with const added; note that the integration of this change into C2X is present in the C standard git repository but postdates the most recent public PDF draft). This patch updates glibc accordingly. As a defect resolution, the API is changed unconditionally rather than supporting any sort of TS 18661-1 mode for compilation with the old version of the API. There are compat symbols for existing binaries that pass floating-point arguments directly. As a consequence of changing to pointer arguments, there are no longer type-generic macros in tgmath.h for these functions. Because of the fairly complicated logic for creating libm function aliases and determining the set of aliases to create in a given glibc configuration, rather than duplicating all that in individual source files to create the versioned and compat symbols, the source files for the various versions of totalorder functions are set up to redefine weak_alias before using libm_alias_* macros to create the symbols required. In turn, this requires creating a separate alias for each symbol version pointing to the same implementation (see binutils bug <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23840>), which is done automatically using __COUNTER__. (As I noted in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-10/msg00631.html>, it might well make sense for glibc's symbol versioning macros to do that alias creation with __COUNTER__ themselves, which would somewhat simplify the logic in the totalorder source files.) It is of course desirable to test the compat symbols. I did this with the generic libm-test machinery, but didn't wish to duplicate the actual tables of test inputs and outputs, and thought it risky to attempt to have a single object file refer to both default and compat versions of the same function in order to test them together. Thus, I created libm-test-compat_totalorder.inc and libm-test-compat_totalordermag.inc which include the generated .c files (with the processed version of those tables of inputs) from the non-compat tests, and added appropriate dependencies. I think this provides sufficient test coverage for the compat symbols without also needing to make the special ldbl-96 and ldbl-128ibm tests (of peculiarities relating to the representations of those formats that can't be covered in the generic tests) run for the compat symbols. Tests of compat symbols need to be internal tests, meaning _ISOMAC is not defined. Making some libm-test tests into internal tests showed up two other issues. GCC diagnoses duplicate macro definitions of __STDC_* macros, including __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_TYPES_EXT__; I added an appropriate conditional and filed <https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91451> for this issue. On ia64, include/setjmp.h ends up getting included indirectly from libm-symbols.h, resulting in conflicting definitions of the STR macro (also defined in libm-test-driver.c); I renamed the macros in include/setjmp.h. (It's arguable that we should have common internal headers used everywhere for stringizing and concatenation macros.)

2019-08-13Add feature test macro _ISOC2X_SOURCE.Joseph Myers1-0/+7
This patch starts preparation for C2X support in glibc headers by adding a feature test macro _ISOC2X_SOURCE and corresponding __GLIBC_USE (ISOC2X). (I chose to use the newer __GLIBC_USE style for this rather than the older __USE_* macros tested with #ifdef.) As with other such macros, C2X features are also enabled by compiling for a standard newer than C17, or by using _GNU_SOURCE. This patch does not itself enable anything new in the headers for C2X; that is to be done in followup patches. (For example, most of the TS 18661-1 functions should be declared for C2X without any __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__ being needed, but the ones that 18661-1 adds to Annex F because of their close relation to IEEE 754 formats do still need the WANT macro in C2X.) Once C2X becomes an actual standard we'll presumably move to using the actual year in the feature test macro and __GLIBC_USE, with some period when both macro spellings are accepted, as was done with _ISOC9X_SOURCE. Tested for x86_64. * include/features.h (_ISOC2X_SOURCE): New feature test macro. Undefine and define to 1 if [_GNU_SOURCE]. (__GLIBC_USE_ISOC2X): New macro. Undefine and redefine depending on [_ISOC2X_SOURCE] and [__STDC_VERSION__ > 201710L]. (__USE_ISOC11): Also define to 1 if [_ISOC2X_SOURCE]. (__USE_ISOC99): Likewise.

The stub implementations are turned into compat symbols. Linux actually has two reserved system call numbers (for getpmsg and putpmsg), but these system calls have never been implemented, and there are no plans to implement them, so this patch replaces the wrappers with the generic stubs. According to <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436349>, the presence of the XSI STREAMS declarations is a minor portability hazard because they are not actually implemented.

2019-02-01Require GCC 6.2 or later to build glibc.Joseph Myers1-6/+2
As discussed during development for glibc 2.29, when we increased the required minimum GCC version for building glibc to GCC 5, working purely based on the times at which such requirements have been increased in the past it would be appropriate for glibc 2.30 to require GCC 6 (matching GCC 4.9 having been required for glibc 2.26). Naming 6.2 specifically as the minimum version then means a separate version requirement no longer needs to be specified for powerpc64le. Thus, this patch increases the minimum to 6.2, removing the documentation of the separate requirement for powerpc64le. It does not remove the powerpc64le configure test, or any __GNUC_PREREQ that could be removed as not being in installed headers or files shared with gnulib; I think such cleanups are best done separately.

2019-01-24strftime: Set the default width of "%Ey" to 2 [BZ #23758]TAMUKI Shoichi1-0/+7
In Japanese locales, strftime's alternative year format (%Ey) produces a year numbered within a time period called an _era_. A new era typically begins when a new emperor is enthroned. The result of "%Ey" is therefore usually a one- or two-digit number. Many programs that display Japanese era dates assume that the era year is two digits wide. To improve how these programs display dates during the first nine years of a new era, change "%Ey" to pad one- digit numbers on the left with a zero. This change applies to all locales. It is expected to be harmless for other locales that use the alternative year format (e.g. lo_LA and th_TH, in which "%Ey" produces the year of the Buddhist calendar) as those calendars' year numbers are already more than two digits wide, and this is not expected to change. This change needs to be in place before 2019-05-01 CE, as a new era is scheduled to begin on that date.
