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.
I used these shell commands: ../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright (cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]") and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning: copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO. I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h, support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not. remote: *** 912-#endif remote: *** 913: remote: *** 914- remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found ... remote: *** error: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/statx_cp.c: trailing 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: https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/b5ecac94eabfd72ed2916d6d8157e7dc https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/15ea1f5e435ace9774f485030695ee02 Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
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. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
This requires that all exported symbol versions are listed in Versions files. It results in more consistent behavior across architectures because previously, symbols could be exported via explicit versioned_symbol and compat_symbol macros if the version node existed in some Versions file (without listing the symbol), and it was not the base version for the library (which already had the local: * directive).
