4e944641	2025-09-22T13:44:06	fchownat: Fix test failure on OpenBSD and Cygwin 2.9 (regr. 2025-09-20). * doc/posix-functions/fchownat.texi: Document that the dereferencing bug also affects OpenBSD and Cygwin 2.9. * m4/chown.m4 (gl_FUNC_CHOWN_CTIME): New macro, extracted from gl_FUNC_CHOWN. (gl_FUNC_CHOWN): Invoke it. * m4/fchownat.m4 (gl_FUNC_FCHOWNAT_DEREF_BUG): Guess that a platform that has the chown ctime bug also has the fchownat AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW bug. * modules/fchownat (Files): Add m4/chown.m4.
1f8f8f77	2025-09-21T21:30:58	doc: Update for Android API level 37. * doc/glibc-functions/sched_getattr.texi: Document that the function is missing on Android API level <= 36. * doc/glibc-functions/sched_setattr.texi: Likewise.

162ce0b7	2025-09-21T07:55:00	fchownat: fix security races and other bugs This fixes some unlikely security races, where our “no-op” chmod undid some other process’s chmod. Ironically this bug occurred on OpenBSD, our most paranoid target. This patch also fixes some EOVERFLOW bugs, along with a performance bug and a CHOWN_CHANGE_TIME_BUG with fchownat. * lib/chown.c, lib/fchownat.c, lib/lchown.c: Remove unnecessary inconsistencies. Include stat-time.h. (CHOWN_CHANGE_TIME_BUG, CHOWN_FAILS_TO_HONOR_ID_OF_NEGATIVE_ONE) (CHOWN_MODIFIES_SYMLINK, CHOWN_TRAILING_SLASH_BUG): Default to 0, and prefer ‘if (...)’ to ‘#ifdef ...’. (utimensat) [!HAVE_UTIMENSAT]: Default to a no-op. (rpl_chown, rpl_fchownat, rpl_lchown): Prefer ‘if (...)’ to ‘#ifdef ...’. Statically, call the stat-like and chown-like functions just once. Do not fail if the stat-like function fails with EOVERFLOW, if existence is all we care about. Use utimensat to update ctime, instead of a chmod-like function. * lib/fchownat.c (rpl_fchownat): Defend against OpenBSD’s CHOWN_CHANGE_TIME_BUG. This bug in rpl_fchownat was exposed by yesterday’s fix that caused rpl_fchownat to call fchownat instead of using the tricky old fork/chdir business. * m4/chown.m4 (gl_FUNC_CHOWN): Check for utimensat if the ctime bug is present. * modules/chown, modules/lchown, modules/fchownat: (Depends-on): Add stat-time.
cfef893b	2025-09-20T22:45:29	sig2str: Port to Android API level 36. * m4/sig2str.m4 (gl_FUNC_SIG2STR): Use gl_CHECK_FUNCS_ANDROID to check for sig2str and str2sig instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS. * doc/posix-functions/sig2str.texi: Document that the function is missing on Android API 35 and lower. * doc/posix-functions/str2sig.texi: Likewise.

4bdd70e3	2025-09-20T22:36:22	lchmod: Port to Android API level 36. * m4/lchmod.m4 (gl_FUNC_LCHMOD): Use gl_CHECK_FUNCS_ANDROID to check for lchmod instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE. * m4/lchown.m4 (gl_FUNC_LCHOWN): Likewise. * doc/glibc-functions/lchmod.texi (lchmod): Document that the function is missing on Android API 35 and lower.

These are the correct values according to the GCC developers and there seems little point to disagreeing with current GCC about obsolescent arithmetic that is so problematic in practice. * tests/test-float-h.c (test_long_double): Relax tests of LDBL_MAX when !LDBL_IS_IEC_60559, as the tests would now fail on PowerPC and they were not portable in that case anyway.

6164b4cb	2025-07-08T17:34:25	float-h: work around GCC bug 120993 Also, fix a too-low LDBL_MAX on this platform, a problem that contributed to LDBL_NORM_MAX test failures with C23 PowerPC GCC with ibmlongdouble. * lib/float.c (gl_LDBL_MAX): On PowerPC with ibmlongdouble, the correct value is 21024 - 2918, not 21024 - 2971. Also, use C99 hex double notation for the divisor, as it’s clearer and should work nowadays. * lib/float.in.h: Simplify by not worring whether it’s AIX or GNU/Linux when redefining LDBL_* macros on PowerPC GCC with ibmlongdouble, as the problem seems to be universal then. (LDBL_NORM_MAX): On PowerPC GCC with ibmlongdouble, define to be LDBL_MAX, so that it’s 21024 - 2918, doubling GCC’s value if supplied. * modules/float-h-tests (Depends-on): Remove floorl, ldexpl. Add truncl. (test_float_h_LDADD): Likewise for libraries. * tests/test-float-h.c (test_isfinitel): New static function, so that we need not rely on isfinitel. (normalize_long_double): Work even if X is negative or not finite. Do not rely on frexpl or ldexpl. Use truncl instead of floorl so that the negative results are consistent with positive. Defend against fritzy PowerPC long double arithmetic.

These are the correct values according to the GCC developers and there seems little point to disagreeing with current GCC about obsolescent arithmetic that is so problematic in practice. * tests/test-float-h.c (test_long_double): Relax tests of LDBL_MAX when !LDBL_IS_IEC_60559, as the tests would now fail on PowerPC and they were not portable in that case anyway.

Also, use C99 hex double notation for the divisor, as it’s clearer and should work nowadays. * lib/float.in.h: Simplify by not worring whether it’s AIX or GNU/Linux when redefining LDBL_* macros on PowerPC GCC with ibmlongdouble, as the problem seems to be universal then. (LDBL_NORM_MAX): On PowerPC GCC with ibmlongdouble, define to be LDBL_MAX, so that it’s 2**1024 - 2**918, doubling GCC’s value if supplied. * modules/float-h-tests (Depends-on): Remove floorl, ldexpl.

(normalize_long_double): Work even if X is negative or not finite. Do not rely on frexpl or ldexpl. Use truncl instead of floorl so that the negative results are consistent with positive.
