SHT_RISCV_ATTRIBUTES, PT_RISCV_ATTRIBUTES, DT_RISCV_VARIANT_CC were
added in commit 0b6c675073
("Update RISC-V specific ELF definitions").  This caused the

3a0588ae48 elf: Fix DFS sorting algorithm for LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS with missing libraries (BZ #28868)
On _dl_map_object the underlying file is not opened in trace mode
(in other cases where the underlying file can't be opened,
_dl_map_object  quits with an error).  If there any missing libraries
being processed, they will not be considered on final nlist size
passed on _dl_sort_maps later in the function.  And it is then used by
_dl_sort_maps_dfs on the stack allocated working maps:

222   /* Array to hold RPO sorting results, before we copy back to  maps[].  */
223   struct link_map *rpo[nmaps];
224
225   /* The 'head' position during each DFS iteration. Note that we start at
226      one past the last element due to first-decrement-then-store (see the
227      bottom of above dfs_traversal() routine).  */
228   struct link_map **rpo_head = &rpo[nmaps];

However while transversing the 'l_initfini' on dfs_traversal it will
still consider the l_faked maps and thus update rpo more times than the
allocated working 'rpo', overflowing the stack object.

As suggested in bugzilla, one option would be to avoid sorting the maps
for trace mode.  However I think ignoring l_faked object does make
sense (there is one less constraint to call the sorting function), it
allows a slight less stack usage for trace, and it is slight simpler
solution.

The tests does trigger the stack overflow, however I tried to make
it more generic to check different scenarios or missing objects.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

57292f5741 Add GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR for DT_RELR support
The EI_ABIVERSION field of the ELF header in executables and shared
libraries can be bumped to indicate the minimum ABI requirement on the
dynamic linker.  However, EI_ABIVERSION in executables isn't checked by
the Linux kernel ELF loader nor the existing dynamic linker.  Executables
will crash mysteriously if the dynamic linker doesn't support the ABI
features required by the EI_ABIVERSION field.  The dynamic linker should
be changed to check EI_ABIVERSION in executables.

Add a glibc version, GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR, to indicate DT_RELR support so
that the existing dynamic linkers will issue an error on executables with
GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR dependency.  When there is a DT_VERNEED entry with
libc.so on DT_NEEDED, issue an error if there is a DT_RELR entry without
GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR dependency.

Support __placeholder_only_for_empty_version_map as the placeholder symbol
used only for empty version map to generate GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR without any
symbols.

30035d6772 scripts: Add glibcelf.py module
Hopefully, this will lead to tests that are easier to maintain.  The
current approach of parsing readelf -W output using regular expressions
is not necessarily easier than parsing the ELF data directly.

This module is still somewhat incomplete (e.g., coverage of relocation
types and versioning information is missing), but it is sufficient to
perform basic symbol analysis or program header analysis.

The EM_* mapping for architecture-specific constant classes (e.g.,
SttX86_64) is not yet implemented.  The classes are defined for the
benefit of elf/tst-glibcelf.py.

build / regeneration of generated files.  As well as the usual annual
updates, mainly dates in --version output (minus csu/version.c which
previously had to be handled manually but is now successfully updated

in NEWS which should let NEWS get updated automatically next year.

Please remember to include 2022 in the dates for any new files added
in future (which means updating any existing uncommitted patches you
have that add new files to use the new copyright dates in them).

23645707f1 Replace --enable-static-pie with --disable-default-pie
Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie
automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it.

Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent
building programs as PIE.

Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default
because they do not work at the moment.  hppa, ia64, alpha and csky
don't work because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation
generated from PIE objects.  The microblaze compiler is currently
failing with an ICE.  GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does
not work and hence fails.  All these targets have default PIE disabled
at the moment and I have left it to the target maintainers to enable PIE
on their targets.

build-many-glibcs runs clean for all targets.  I also tested x86_64 on
Fedora and Ubuntu, to verify that the default build as well as
--disable-default-pie work as expected with both system toolchains.

e6fd79f379 elf: Testing infrastructure for ld.so DSO sorting (BZ #17645)
This is the first of a 2-part patch set that fixes slow DSO sorting behavior in
the dynamic loader, as reported in BZ #17645. In order to facilitate such a
large modification to the dynamic loader, this first patch implements a testing
framework for validating shared object sorting behavior, to enable comparison
between old/new sorting algorithms, and any later enhancements.

This testing infrastructure consists of a Python script
scripts/dso-ordering-test.py' which takes in a description language, consisting
of strings that describe a set of link dependency relations between DSOs, and
generates testcase programs and Makefile fragments to automatically test the
described situation, for example:

  a->b->c->d          # four objects linked one after another

  a->[bc]->d;b->c     # a depends on b and c, which both depend on d,
                      # b depends on c (b,c linked to object a in fixed order)

  a->b->c;{+a;%a;-a}  # a, b, c serially dependent, main program uses
                      # dlopen/dlsym/dlclose on object a

  a->b->c;{}!->[abc]  # a, b, c serially dependent; multiple tests generated
                      # to test all permutations of a, b, c ordering linked
                      # to main program

 (Above is just a short description of what the script can do, more
  documentation is in the script comments.)

Two files containing several new tests, elf/dso-sort-tests-[12].def are added,
including test scenarios for BZ #15311 and Redhat issue #1162810 [1].

Due to the nature of dynamic loader tests, where the sorting behavior and test
output occurs before/after main(), generating testcases to use
support/test-driver.c does not suffice to control meaningful timeout for ld.so.
Therefore a new utility program 'support/test-run-command', based on
test-driver.c/support_test_main.c has been added. This does the same testcase
control, but for a program specified through a command-line rather than at the
source code level. This utility is used to run the dynamic loader testcases
generated by dso-ordering-test.py.

30891f35fa Remove "Contributed by" lines
We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date.  Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.

Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions.  These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.

The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively.  These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

c44838ebf8 Add libc ABI extension kludge for baseline-violating libdl symbols
Some targets have a GLIBC_2.0 baseline for libdl, while using
GLIBC_2.2 for libc.  This means that the generated libc.map file
does not have any version nodes for GLIBC_2.0 or GLIBC_2.1.  However,
moving symbols from libdl into libc needs such version nodes.
(Future symbol moves from librt will need this as well.)

This kludge is only necessary for symbols predating GLIBC_2.2 because
the affected targets use GLIBC_2.2 as the baseline for libc.  Given
the small number and fixed set of affected architectures, no generic
mechanism is implemented, and instead the map file fragment is
hard-coded in scripts/versions.mk.

The compat_symbol macro already emits the appropriate version strings,
so no adjustments are needed there.

on which tests are executed. This change is supposed to be used with
test systems, which use virtual machines for testing.

The GLIBC_TEST_ALLOW_TIME_SETTING env variable is exported to the
remote environment on which the eligible test is run and brings no
functional change when it is not.

418f5783d9 build-many-glibcs.py: Use make -O for more consistent log output
The -O option avoids interleaving (e.g.) compiler error messages
with other build messages, and makes attribution of messages to
commands easier.

According to my tests, the impact on build time is within the noise.

bfe04789a8 elf: Avoid RELATIVE relocs in __tunables_init
With static pie linking pointers in the tunables list need
RELATIVE relocs since the absolute address is not known at link
time. We want to avoid relocations so the static pie self
relocation can be done after tunables are initialized.

This is a simple fix that embeds the tunable strings into the
tunable list instead of using pointers.  It is possible to have
a more compact representation of tunables with some additional
complexity in the generator and tunable parser logic.  Such
optimization will be useful if the list of tunables grows.

There is still an issue that tunables_strdup allocates and the
failure handling code path is sufficiently complex that it can
easily have RELATIVE relocations.  It is possible to avoid the
early allocation and only change environment variables in a
setuid exe after relocations are processed.  But that is a
bigger change and early failure is fatal anyway so it is not
as critical to fix right away. This is bug 27181.

058308066c elf: Make the tunable struct definition internal only
The representation of the tunables including type information and
the tunable list structure are only used in the implementation not
in the tunables api that is exposed to usage within glibc.

This patch moves the representation related definitions into the
existing dl-tunable-types.h and uses that only for implementation.

The tunable callback and related types are moved to dl-tunables.h
because they are part of the tunables api.

This reduces the details exposed in the tunables api so the internals
are easier to change.

87d583c6e8 install: Replace scripts/output-format.sed with objdump -f [BZ #26559]
GNU ld and gold have supported --print-output-format since 2011. glibc
requires binutils>=2.25 (2015), so if LD is GNU ld or gold, we can
assume the option is supported.

lld is by default a cross linker supporting multiple targets. It auto
detects the file format and does not need OUTPUT_FORMAT. It does not
support --print-output-format.

By parsing objdump -f, we can support all the three linkers.
