The history is not used by build-many-glibcs.py itself.
--replace-sources deletes an existing source tree before switching
the version. But some users prefer to have the full history
available, therefore make shallow clones optional with the --shallow
option.
Writable, executable segments defeat security hardening. The
existing check for DT_TEXTREL does not catch this.

GCC has moved from using .gnu.linkonce for i386 setup pic register with
minimum current version (as for binutils minimum binutils that support
comdat).
Trying to pinpoint when binutils has added comdat support for i686, it
seems it was around 2004 [1]. I also checking with some ancient
binutils older than 2.16 I see:
test.o: In function `__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx':
test.o(.text.__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx+0x0): multiple definition of `__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/../../../i386-linux-gnu/crti.o(.gnu.linkonce.t.__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx+0x0): first defined here
Which seems that such version can not handle either comdat at all or
a mix of linkonce and comdat. For binutils 2.16.1 I am getting a
different issue trying to link a binary with and more recent
ctri.o (unrecognized relocation (0x2b) in section `.init', which is
R_386_GOT32X and old binutils won't generate it anyway).
So I think that either unlikely someone will use an older binutils than
the one used to glibc and even this scenario may fail with some issue
as the R_386_GOT32X. Also, 2.16.1 is quite old and not really supported
(glibc itself required 2.25).

For lack of a more comprehensive solution, tack on the ibm128 ABI
compiler options for the totalorder{,mag}l compat tests which exist
prior to enabling this feature.
The functions in the nexttoward family are special, in the sense that
they always have a long double argument, regardless of their suffix
(i.e.: nexttowardf and nexttoward have a long double argument, besides
the float and double arguments).
On top of that, they are also special because nexttoward functions are
not part of the _FloatN API, hence __nexttowardf128 do not exist.
This patch adds 4 new function implementations for the new long double
format:
__nexttoward_to_ieee128
__nexttowardf_to_ieee128
__nexttowardieee128 (as an alias to __nextafterieee128)
Likewise, rename "long double" "_Float128" in shared ldbl-128
files to ensure correct type is used irrespective of ABI
switches.
Thank you to those who helped out with this patch:

The API doesn't change, i.e. compilers using a long double format compatible
with the IEEE 128-bit extended precision format are redirected from *l
functions to __*ieee128 symbols using the same mechanism already
used with -mlong-double-64 for complex math functions.
Modify the headers to redirect long double functions to global __*f128
symbols or to __*ieee128 otherwise.
Most of the functions in math.h benefit from the infrastructure already
available for __LDBL_COMPAT. The only exceptions are nexttowardf and
nexttoward that need especial treatment.
Both math/bits/mathcalls-helper-functions.h and math/bits/mathcalls.h
were modified in order to provide alternative redirection destinations
that are essential to support functions that should not be redirected to
the same name pattern of the rest of the functions, i.e.: __fpclassify,
__signbit, __iseqsig, __issignaling, isinf, finite and isnan, which will
be redirected to __*f128 instead of __*ieee128 used for the rest.
The POSIX waitid implementation is problematic in some ways:
- It emulates using waitpid, which default implementation calls
wait4 and wait4 returns ENOSYS as default.
- Also by using waitpid it does not allod support the WNOWAIT,
WEXITED, WSTOPPED, or WCONTINUED flag. With current POSIX
specification the flags are no longer marked as optional.
Also due BZ#23091 Hurd still uses the implementation, so it is moved
to as a Hurd arch-specific folder (with some minor cleanups).
Checked against a i686-gnu (run-built-tests=no)
The main changes are:
- Adapt to libsupport.
- Synchronize the signal handler using atomics.
- Replace waitpid by waitid calls.
- Use support_process_state_wait to wait for child state.
- Add tests for P_PGID and P_ALL.
- Use sigwaitinfo instead of global state set by the signal handler.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
It allows parent process to wait for child state using a polling
strategy over procfs on Linux. The polling is used over ptrace to
avoid the need to handle signals on the target pid and to handle some
system specific limitation (such as YAMA).
The polling has some limitations, such as resource consumption due
the procfs read in a loop and the lack of synchronization after the
state is obtained.
The interface idea is to simplify some sleep synchronization waitid
tests and is to reduce timeouts by replacing arbitrary waits.
If the test fails due some unexpected failure after the children
creation, either in the signal handler by calling abort or in the main
loop; the created children might not be killed properly.
This patches fixes it by:
* Avoid aborting in the signal handler by setting a flag that
an error has occured and add a check in the main loop.
* Add a atexit handler to handle kill child processes.

The present code leaves the function pointers unprotected, but moves
some of the static functions into .data.rel.ro instead. This causes
the linker to produce an allocatable, executable, writable section
and eventually an RWX load segment. Not only do we really do not
want that, it also breaks valgrind because valgrind does not load
debuginfo from the mmap interceptor if all it sees are RX and RWX
mappings.
Fixes commit 3a0ecccb59 ("ld.so: Do not
export free/calloc/malloc/realloc functions [BZ #25486]").
On !ELF_INITFINI architectures, _init is no longer called by the
dynamic linker. We can use an ELF constructor instead because the
constructor order does not matter. (The other constructors are used
to set up libio vtable bypasses and do not depend on this
initialization routine.)
Instead of attempting something more creative, just copy
the small struct from ldbl-128 and enable it when IEEE
long double is present, and update the ibm long double
variant if supported.
Likewise, provide a shadow copy of math_ldbl.h to prevent
the ibm128 specific long double header from poisoning
unrelated files due to it's usage in math_private.h.

We want to ensure that if a second file is built to support
ieee128 long double, we built its companion implementation
with ibm128 long double. The shared object versions of these
files build correctly because the aliasing is sufficiently
complex to prevent the redirects from applying when defining
them.
However, this does not prevent the static object variants
from becoming quietly broken due to redirects. This is
intentionally avoided by marking such objects to be built
with -mabi=ibmlongdouble.
Shuffle the misplaced routines to build against the subdir
which defines the needed symbols.
A number of utility files and helper objects should also be
explicitly configured to build with the ibm128 ABI to prevent
gremlins when enabling IEEE long double.
Move the narrow math aliasing macros into a new sysdep header file
math-narrow-alias-float128.h. Then, provide an override header
to supply the necessary changes to supply the *ieee128 aliases of
these symbols.
This adds ieee128 aliases for faddl, fdivl, fmull, fsubl, daddl, ddivl,
dmull, dsubl.
After defining the long double redirections to double, __MATHDECL_1 has
to be redefined to its previous state in order to avoid redirecting all
subsequent types.

The behavior of the signal mask on threads created by timer_create
for SIGEV_THREAD timers are implementation-defined and glibc explicit
unblocks all signals before calling the user-defined function.
This behavior, although not incorrect standard-wise, opens a race if a
program using a blocked rt-signal plus sigwaitinfo (and without an
installed signal handler for the rt-signal) receives a signal while
executing the used-defined function for SIGEV_THREAD.
A better alternative discussed in bug report is to rather block all
signals (besides the internal ones not available to application
usage).
This patch fixes this issue by only unblocking SIGSETXID (used on
set*uid function) and SIGCANCEL (used for thread cancellation).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
From the GNU C Library manual, the pkey_set can receive a combination of
PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS. However PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS
is more restrictive than PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE and includes its behavior.
The test expects that after setting
(PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE|PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS) pkey_get should return the
same. This may not be true as PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS will succeed in
describing the state of the key in this case.
The pkey behavior during signal handling is different between x86 and
POWER. This change make the test compatible with both architectures.

In the glibc the gettimeofday can use vDSO (on power and x86 the
USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY is defined), gettimeofday syscall or 'default'
___gettimeofday() from ./time/gettime.c (as a fallback).
In this patch the last function (___gettimeofday) has been refactored and
moved to ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/gettimeofday.c to be Linux specific.
The new __gettimeofday64 explicit 64 bit function for getting 64 bit time from
the kernel (by internally calling __clock_gettime64) has been introduced.
Moreover, a 32 bit version - __gettimeofday has been refactored to internally
use __gettimeofday64.
The __gettimeofday is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting 32
bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary check for time_t potential
overflow and conversion of struct __timeval64 to 32 bit struct timespec.
The iFUNC vDSO direct call optimization has been removed from both i686 and
powerpc32 (USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY is not defined for those architectures
anymore). The Linux kernel does not provide a y2038 safe implementation of
gettimeofday neither it plans to provide it in the future, clock_gettime64
should be used instead. Keeping support for this optimization would require
to handle another build permutation (!__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS &&
USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY) which adds more complexity and has limited use
(since the idea is to eventually have a y2038 safe glibc build).

[Including some commit message improvement]
It appears that the ability to change symbolic link modes through such
paths is unintended. On several file systems, the operation fails with
EOPNOTSUPP, even though the symbolic link permissions are updated.
The expected behavior is a failure to update the permissions, without
file system changes.

This supersedes the init_array sysdeps directory. It allows us to
check for ELF_INITFINI in both C and assembler code, and skip DT_INIT
and DT_FINI processing completely on newer architectures.
A new header file is needed because <dl-machine.h> is incompatible
with assembler code. <sysdep.h> is compatible with assembler code,
but it cannot be included in all assembler files because on some
architectures, it redefines register names, and some assembler files
conflict with that.
<elf-initfini.h> is replicated for legacy architectures which need
DT_INIT/DT_FINI support. New architectures follow the generic default
and disable it.

file_change_detection_for_stat partially initialize
struct file_change_detection in some cases, when the size member
alone determines the outcome of all comparisons. This results
in maybe-uninitialized compiler warnings in case of sufficiently

Once the implementation is moved into a separate C file, this kind
of inlining is no longer possible, so the compiler warnings are gone.
