Recent Activity
- riscv: Add the clone3 wrapper
Adhemerval Zanella: It follows the internal signature: - Update syscall lists for Linux 6.3
Joseph Myers: Linux 6.3 has no new syscalls. - Stop checking if MiG supports retcode
Flavio Cruz: We already did the same change for Hurd ( - hurd 64bit: Make dev_t word type
Samuel Thibault: dev_t are 64bit on Linux ports, so better increase their size on 64bit Hurd. - Use GCC 13 branch, Linux 6.3 in build-many-glibcs.py
Joseph Myers: This patch updates build-many-glibcs.py to use Linux 6.3 and GCC 13 branch by default. - hurd: Add expected abilist files for x86_64
Sergey Bugaev: These were created by creating stub files, running 'make update-abi', and reviewing the results. - hurd: Make it possible to call memcpy very early
Sergey Bugaev: Normally, in static builds, the first code that runs is _start, in e.g. - hurd: Implement longjmp for x86_64
Sergey Bugaev: Checked on x86_64-gnu. - hurd: Implement sigreturn for x86_64
Sergey Bugaev - hurd: Make _exit work during early boot-up
Sergey Bugaev: If any of the early boot-up tasks calls exit () or returns from main (), terminate it properly instead of crashing on trying to dereference _hurd_ports and getting forcibly terminated by the kernel. We sadly cannot make the __USEPORT macro do the check for _hurd_ports being unset, because it evaluates to the value of the expression provided as the second argument, and that can be of any type; so there is no single suitable fallback value for the macro to evaluate to in case _hurd_ports is unset.
glibc Release Tags
- Open master branch for glibc 2.38 development
Carlos O'Donell - Create ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.26.
Carlos O'Donell - Remove left over LD_LIBRARY_VERSION usages
Adhemerval Zanella: The environment variable was removed by d2db60d8d830ef68c8d20a77ac3572d610aa40b1. - linux: Add process_mrelease
Adhemerval Zanella: Added in Linux 5.15 (884a7e5964e06ed93c7771c0d7cf19c09a8946f1), the new syscalls allows a caller to free the memory of a dying target process. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu. - Remove kernel version check
Adhemerval Zanella: The kernel version check is used to avoid glibc to run on older kernels where some syscall are not available and fallback code are not enabled to handle graciously fail. - Open master branch for glibc 2.36 development
Carlos O'Donell - Open master branch for glibc 2.35 development
Carlos O'Donell - Open master branch for glibc 2.34 development
Adhemerval Zanella - Prepare for glibc 2.33 release
Adhemerval Zanella: Update version.h, features.h, and ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.22. - Open master branch for glibc 2.33 development
Carlos O'Donell: Happy hacking!
Most Popular This Year
- powerpc64: Remove old strncmp optimization
Rajalakshmi Srinivasaraghavan: This patch cleans up the power4 strncmp optimization for powerpc64 which is unlikely to be used anywhere. - C-SKY: Strip hard float abi from hard float feature
quxm: The hard float abi and hard float are different, Hard float abi: Use float register to pass float type arguments. - testrun.sh: Support passing strace and valgrind arguments
Florian Weimer: This is a bit of a hack, but it works quite well in practice. - Remove ldd libc4 support
Adhemerval Zanella: The older libc versions are obsolete for over twenty years now. - x86_64: Add strstr function with 512-bit EVEX
Raghuveer Devulapalli: Adding a 512-bit EVEX version of strstr. - aarch64: Add optimized chacha20
Adhemerval Zanella Netto: It adds vectorized ChaCha20 implementation based on libgcrypt cipher/chacha20-aarch64.S. - s390: use $READELF
Sam James: We already check for it in root configure.ac with AC_CHECK_TOOL. - AArch64: Add SVE memcpy
Wilco Dijkstra: Add an initial SVE memcpy implementation. - Linux: Remove exit system call from _exit
Florian Weimer: exit only terminates the current thread, not the whole process, so it is the wrong fallback system call in this context. - arc4random: simplify design for better safety
Jason A. Donenfeld: Rather than buffering 16 MiB of entropy in userspace (by way of chacha20), simply call getrandom() every time. This approach is doubtlessly slower, for now, but trying to prematurely optimize arc4random appears to be leading toward all sorts of nasty properties and gotchas.
