Fix strcpy_chk and stpcpy_chk performance.

2015-08-25T13:06:33+00:00

Hi, as I wrote in previous patches a performance of checked strcpy and
stpcpy is terrible as these don't use sse2 and are around four times
slower that strcpy and stpcpy now.

As this bug shows that these functions are not performance sensitive I
decided just to improve generic implementation instead for easier
maintainance.

        * debug/strcpy_chk.c: Improve performance.
        * debug/stpcpy_chk.c: Likewise.
        * sysdeps/x86_64/strcpy_chk.S: Remove.
        * sysdeps/x86_64/stpcpy_chk.S: Remove.

Fix BZ #18084 -- backtrace (..., 0) dumps core on x86.

Other architectures also had bugs, or did unnecessary work.

stpncpy: fix size checking [BZ #18975]

2015-08-15T02:40:19+00:00

I think the last clause of the conditional,

	|| __n <= __bos (__dest)

may be backward.  The code should call the runtime-checking function
if __n is not constant, or if __n is known to be LARGER than the size
of the destination.

Let tests result in UNSUPPORTED; use that for unbuildable C++ cases

Avoid C++ tests when the C++ cannot be linked.

Conditionalize some tests' use of SA_SIGINFO.

Update copyright dates not handled by scripts/update-copyrights.

2015-01-02T16:54:45+00:00

I've updated copyright dates in glibc for 2015.  This is the patch for
the changes not generated by scripts/update-copyrights and subsequent
build / regeneration of generated files.  Apart from the files updated
last time (of which sotruss.ksh had moved to sotruss.sh during the
year) this also updates nptl/version.c (missed from 2006 until
October) and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/lddlibc4.c (missed since 2009).

	* debug/warning-nop.c: Add used atrribute.

Use -Werror by default, add --disable-werror.

2014-12-10T01:14:48+00:00

As discussed starting at
, 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
, 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.
	* configure: Regenerated.
	* config.make.in (enable-werror): New variable.
	* Makeconfig [$(enable-werror) = yes] (+gccwarn): Add -Werror
	-Wno-error=undef.

	--disable-werror.
