Recent Activity
- Add _FORTIFY_SOURCE implementation documentation [BZ #28998]
Siddhesh Poyarekar: There have been multiple requests to provide more detail on how the _FORTIFY_SOURCE macro works, so this patch adds a new node in the Library Maintenance section that does this. - C2x semantics for
Joseph Myers: <tgmath.h> implements semantics for integer generic arguments that handle cases involving _FloatN / _FloatNx types as specified in TS 18661-3 plus some defect fixes. C2x has further changes to the semantics for <tgmath.h> macros with such types, which should also be considered defect fixes (although handled through the integration of TS 18661-3 in C2x rather than through an issue tracking process). - Simplify scripts/cross-test-ssh.sh configuration
Carlos O'Donell: With modern ssh clients and daemons it is required to use AcceptEnv and SendEnv configuration options to correctly support testing the DSO sort ordering tests. - Update syscall lists for Linux 6.1
Joseph Myers: Linux 6.1 has no new syscalls. - Avoid use of atoi in some places in libc
Joseph Myers: This patch is split out of < - x86: Prevent SIGSEGV in memcmp-sse2 when data is concurrently modified [BZ #29863]
Noah Goldstein: In the case of INCORRECT usage of `memcmp(a, b, N)` where `a` and `b` are concurrently modified as `memcmp` runs, there can be a SIGSEGV in `L(ret_nonzero_vec_end_0)` because the sequential logic assumes that `(rdx - 32 + rax)` is a positive 32-bit integer. To be clear, this change does not mean the usage of `memcmp` is supported.

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. - elf: Remove prelink support
Adhemerval Zanella: Prelinked binaries and libraries still work, the dynamic tags DT_GNU_PRELINKED, DT_GNU_LIBLIST, DT_GNU_CONFLICT just ignored (meaning the process is reallocated as default). - gaih_inet: make numeric lookup a separate routine
Siddhesh Poyarekar: Introduce the gaih_result structure and general paradigm for cleanups that follow to process the lookup request and return a result. - testrun.sh: Support passing strace and valgrind arguments
Florian Weimer: This is a bit of a hack, but it works quite well in practice. - Update kernel version to 5.16 in tst-mman-consts.py
Joseph Myers: This patch updates the kernel version in the test tst-mman-consts.py to 5.16. - x86_64: Add strstr function with 512-bit EVEX
Raghuveer Devulapalli: Adding a 512-bit EVEX version of strstr. - wcrtomb: Make behavior POSIX compliant
Siddhesh Poyarekar: The GNU implementation of wcrtomb assumes that there are at least MB_CUR_MAX bytes available in the destination buffer passed to wcrtomb as the first argument. - aarch64: Add optimized chacha20
Adhemerval Zanella Netto: It adds vectorized ChaCha20 implementation based on libgcrypt cipher/chacha20-aarch64.S. - x86: Reduce code size of mem{move|pcpy|cpy}-ssse3
Noah Goldstein: The goal is to remove most SSSE3 function as SSE4, AVX2, and EVEX are generally preferable. - Remove ldd libc4 support
Adhemerval Zanella: The older libc versions are obsolete for over twenty years now.
