GNU C Library NEWS -- history of user-visible changes.
Copyright (C) 1992-2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Please send GNU C library bug reports via <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/>
using `glibc' in the "product" field.
Version 2.29
Major new features:
* A new convenience target has been added for distribution maintainers
to build and install all locales as directories with files. The new
target is run by issuing the following command in your build tree:
'make localedata/install-locale-files', with an optional DESTDIR
to set the install root if you wish to install into a non-default
configured location.
* Optimized generic sinf, cosf, sincosf and tanf.
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* The glibc.tune tunable namespace has been renamed to glibc.cpu and the
tunable glibc.tune.cpu has been renamed to glibc.cpu.name.
Changes to build and runtime requirements:

The following bugs are resolved with this release:
[The release manager will add the list generated by
scripts/list-fixed-bugs.py just before the release.]
Version 2.28
Major new features:
* The localization data for ISO 14651 is updated to match the 2016
Edition 4 release of the standard, this matches data provided by
Unicode 9.0.0. This update introduces significant improvements to the
collation of Unicode characters. This release deviates slightly from
the standard in that the collation element ordering for lowercase and
uppercase LATIN script characters is adjusted to ensure that regular
expressions with ranges like [a-z] and [A-Z] don't interleave e.g. A
is not matched by [a-z]. With the update many locales have been
updated to take advantage of the new collation information. The new
collation information has increased the size of the compiled locale
archive or binary locales.
* The GNU C Library can now be compiled with support for Intel CET, AKA
Intel Control-flow Enforcement Technology. When the library is built
with --enable-cet, the resulting glibc is protected with indirect
branch tracking (IBT) and shadow stack (SHSTK). CET-enabled glibc is
compatible with all existing executables and shared libraries. This
feature is currently supported on i386, x86_64 and x32 with GCC 8 and
binutils 2.29 or later. Note that CET-enabled glibc requires CPUs
capable of multi-byte NOPs, like x86-64 processors as well as Intel
Pentium Pro or newer. NOTE: --enable-cet has been tested for i686,
x86_64 and x32 on non-CET processors. --enable-cet has been tested
for x86_64 and x32 on CET SDVs, but Intel CET support hasn't been
validated for i686.
* The GNU C Library now has correct support for ABSOLUTE symbols
(SHN_ABS-relative symbols). Previously such ABSOLUTE symbols were
relocated incorrectly or in some cases discarded. The GNU linker can
make use of the newer semantics, but it must communicate it to the
dynamic loader by setting the ELF file's identification (EI_ABIVERSION
field) to indicate such support is required.
* Unicode 11.0.0 Support: Character encoding, character type info, and
transliteration tables are all updated to Unicode 11.0.0, using
generator scripts contributed by Mike FABIAN (Red Hat).
* <math.h> functions that round their results to a narrower type are added
from TS 18661-1:2014 and TS 18661-3:2015:
- fadd, faddl, daddl and corresponding fMaddfN, fMaddfNx, fMxaddfN and
fMxaddfNx functions.
- fsub, fsubl, dsubl and corresponding fMsubfN, fMsubfNx, fMxsubfN and
fMxsubfNx functions.
- fmul, fmull, dmull and corresponding fMmulfN, fMmulfNx, fMxmulfN and
fMxmulfNx functions.
- fdiv, fdivl, ddivl and corresponding fMdivfN, fMdivfNx, fMxdivfN and
fMxdivfNx functions.
* Two grammatical forms of month names are now supported for the following
languages: Armenian, Asturian, Catalan, Czech, Kashubian, Occitan, Ossetian,
Scottish Gaelic, Upper Sorbian, and Walloon. The following languages now
support two grammatical forms in abbreviated month names: Catalan, Greek,
and Kashubian.
* Newly added locales: Lower Sorbian (dsb_DE) and Yakut (sah_RU) also
include the support for two grammatical forms of month names.
* Building and running on GNU/Hurd systems now works without out-of-tree
patches.
* The renameat2 function has been added, a variant of the renameat function
which has a flags argument. If the flags are zero, the renameat2 function
acts like renameat. If the flag is not zero and there is no kernel
support for renameat2, the function will fail with an errno value of
EINVAL. This is different from the existing gnulib function renameatu,
which performs a plain rename operation in case of a RENAME_NOREPLACE
flags and a non-existing destination (and therefore has a race condition
that can clobber the destination inadvertently).
* The statx function has been added, a variant of the fstatat64
function with an additional flags argument. If there is no direct
kernel support for statx, glibc provides basic stat support based on
the fstatat64 function.
* IDN domain names in getaddrinfo and getnameinfo now use the system libidn2
library if installed. libidn2 version 2.0.5 or later is recommended. If
libidn2 is not available, internationalized domain names are not encoded
or decoded even if the AI_IDN or NI_IDN flags are passed to getaddrinfo or
getnameinfo. (getaddrinfo calls with non-ASCII names and AI_IDN will fail
with an encoding error.) Flags which used to change the IDN encoding and
decoding behavior (AI_IDN_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED, AI_IDN_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES,
NI_IDN_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED, NI_IDN_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES) have been
deprecated. They no longer have any effect.
* Parsing of dynamic string tokens in DT_RPATH, DT_RUNPATH, DT_NEEDED,
DT_AUXILIARY, and DT_FILTER has been expanded to support the full
range of ELF gABI expressions including such constructs as
'$ORIGIN$ORIGIN' (if valid). For SUID/GUID applications the rules
have been further restricted, and where in the past a dynamic string
token sequence may have been interpreted as a literal string it will
now cause a load failure. These load failures were always considered
unspecified behaviour from the perspective of the dynamic loader, and
for safety are now load errors e.g. /foo/${ORIGIN}.so in DT_NEEDED
results in a load failure now.
* Support for ISO C threads (ISO/IEC 9899:2011) has been added. The
implementation includes all the standard functions provided by
<threads.h>:
- thrd_current, thrd_equal, thrd_sleep, thrd_yield, thrd_create,
thrd_detach, thrd_exit, and thrd_join for thread management.
- mtx_init, mtx_lock, mtx_timedlock, mtx_trylock, mtx_unlock, and
mtx_destroy for mutual exclusion.
- call_once for function call synchronization.
- cnd_broadcast, cnd_destroy, cnd_init, cnd_signal, cnd_timedwait, and
cnd_wait for conditional variables.
- tss_create, tss_delete, tss_get, and tss_set for thread-local storage.
Application developers must link against libpthread to use ISO C threads.
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* The nonstandard header files <libio.h> and <_G_config.h> are no longer
installed. Software that was using either header should be updated to
use standard <stdio.h> interfaces instead.
* The stdio functions 'getc' and 'putc' are no longer defined as macros.
This was never required by the C standard, and the macros just expanded
to call alternative names for the same functions. If you hoped getc and
putc would provide performance improvements over fgetc and fputc, instead
investigate using (f)getc_unlocked and (f)putc_unlocked, and, if
necessary, flockfile and funlockfile.
* All stdio functions now treat end-of-file as a sticky condition. If you
read from a file until EOF, and then the file is enlarged by another
process, you must call clearerr or another function with the same effect
(e.g. fseek, rewind) before you can read the additional data. This
corrects a longstanding C99 conformance bug. It is most likely to affect
programs that use stdio to read interactive input from a terminal.
(Bug #1190.)
* The macros 'major', 'minor', and 'makedev' are now only available from
the header <sys/sysmacros.h>; not from <sys/types.h> or various other
headers that happen to include <sys/types.h>. These macros are rarely
used, not part of POSIX nor XSI, and their names frequently collide with
user code; see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19239 for
further explanation.
<sys/sysmacros.h> is a GNU extension. Portable programs that require
these macros should first include <sys/types.h>, and then include
<sys/sysmacros.h> if __GNU_LIBRARY__ is defined.
* The tilegx*-*-linux-gnu configurations are no longer supported.
* The obsolete function ustat is no longer available to newly linked
binaries; the headers <ustat.h> and <sys/ustat.h> have been removed. This
function has been deprecated in favor of fstatfs and statfs.
* The obsolete function nfsservctl is no longer available to newly linked
binaries. This function was specific to systems using the Linux kernel
and could not usefully be used with the GNU C Library on systems with
version 3.1 or later of the Linux kernel.
* The obsolete function name llseek is no longer available to newly linked
binaries. This function was specific to systems using the Linux kernel
and was not declared in a header. Programs should use the lseek64 name
for this function instead.
* The AI_IDN_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED and NI_IDN_ALLOW_UNASSIGNED flags for the
getaddrinfo and getnameinfo functions have been deprecated. The behavior
previously selected by them is now always enabled.
* The AI_IDN_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES and NI_IDN_USE_STD3_ASCII_RULES flags for
the getaddrinfo and getnameinfo functions have been deprecated. The STD3
restriction (rejecting '_' in host names, among other things) has been
removed, for increased compatibility with non-IDN name resolution.
* The fcntl function now have a Long File Support variant named fcntl64. It
is added to fix some Linux Open File Description (OFD) locks usage on non
LFS mode. As for others *64 functions, fcntl64 semantics are analogous with
fcntl and LFS support is handled transparently. Also for Linux, the OFD
locks act as a cancellation entrypoint.
* The obsolete functions encrypt, encrypt_r, setkey, setkey_r, cbc_crypt,
ecb_crypt, and des_setparity are no longer available to newly linked
binaries, and the headers <rpc/des_crypt.h> and <rpc/rpc_des.h> are no
longer installed. These functions encrypted and decrypted data with the
DES block cipher, which is no longer considered secure. Software that
still uses these functions should switch to a modern cryptography library,
such as libgcrypt.
* Reflecting the removal of the encrypt and setkey functions above, the
macro _XOPEN_CRYPT is no longer defined. As a consequence, the crypt
function is no longer declared unless _DEFAULT_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE is
enabled.
* The obsolete function fcrypt is no longer available to newly linked
binaries. It was just another name for the standard function crypt,
and it has not appeared in any header file in many years.
* We have tentative plans to hand off maintenance of the passphrase-hashing
library, libcrypt, to a separate development project that will, we hope,
keep up better with new passphrase-hashing algorithms. We will continue
to declare 'crypt' in <unistd.h>, and programs that use 'crypt' or
'crypt_r' should not need to change at all; however, distributions will
need to install <crypt.h> and libcrypt from a separate project.
In this release, if the configure option --disable-crypt is used, glibc
will not install <crypt.h> or libcrypt, making room for the separate
project's versions of these files. The plan is to make this the default
behavior in a future release.

Version 2.27
Major new features:
* The GNU C Library can now be compiled with support for building static
PIE executables (See --enable-static-pie in INSTALL). These static PIE
executables are like static executables but can be loaded at any address
and provide additional security hardening benefits at the cost of some
memory and performance. When the library is built with --enable-static-pie
the resulting libc.a is usable with GCC 8 and above to create static PIE
executables using the GCC option '-static-pie'. This feature is currently
supported on i386, x86_64 and x32 with binutils 2.29 or later, and on
aarch64 with binutils 2.30 or later.
* Optimized x86-64 asin, atan2, exp, expf, log, pow, atan, sin, cosf,
sinf, sincosf and tan with FMA, contributed by Arjan van de Ven and
H.J. Lu from Intel.
* Optimized x86-64 trunc and truncf for processors with SSE4.1.
* Optimized generic expf, exp2f, logf, log2f, powf, sinf, cosf and sincosf.
* In order to support faster and safer process termination the malloc API
family of functions will no longer print a failure address and stack
backtrace after detecting heap corruption. The goal is to minimize the
amount of work done after corruption is detected and to avoid potential
security issues in continued process execution. Reducing shutdown time
leads to lower overall process restart latency, so there is benefit both
from a security and performance perspective.
* The abort function terminates the process immediately, without flushing
stdio streams. Previous glibc versions used to flush streams, resulting
in deadlocks and further data corruption. This change also affects
process aborts as the result of assertion failures.
* On platforms where long double has the IEEE binary128 format (aarch64,
alpha, mips64, riscv, s390 and sparc), the math library now implements
_Float128 interfaces for that type, as defined by ISO/IEC TS 18661-3:2015.
These are the same interfaces added in version 2.26 for some platforms where
this format is supported but is not the format of long double.
* On platforms with support for _Float64x (aarch64, alpha, i386, ia64,
mips64, powerpc64le, riscv, s390, sparc and x86_64), the math library now
implements interfaces for that type, as defined by ISO/IEC TS
18661-3:2015. These are corresponding interfaces to those supported for
_Float128.
* The math library now implements interfaces for the _Float32, _Float64 and
_Float32x types, as defined by ISO/IEC TS 18661-3:2015. These are
corresponding interfaces to those supported for _Float128.
* glibc now implements the memfd_create and mlock2 functions on Linux.
* Support for memory protection keys was added. The <sys/mman.h> header now
declares the functions pkey_alloc, pkey_free, pkey_mprotect, pkey_set,
pkey_get.
* The copy_file_range function was added.
* Optimized memcpy, mempcpy, memmove, and memset for sparc M7.
* The ldconfig utility now processes `include' directives using the C/POSIX
collation ordering. Previous glibc versions used locale-specific
ordering, the change might break systems that relied on that.
* Support for two grammatical forms of month names has been added.
In a call to strftime, the "%B" and "%b" format specifiers will now
produce the grammatical form required when the month is used as part
of a complete date. New "%OB" and "%Ob" specifiers produce the form
required when the month is named by itself. For instance, in Greek
and in many Slavic and Baltic languages, "%B" will produce the month
in genitive case, and "%OB" will produce the month in nominative case.
In a call to strptime, "%B", "%b", "%h", "%OB", "%Ob", and "%Oh"
are all valid and will all accept any known form of month
name---standalone or complete, abbreviated or full. In a call to
nl_langinfo, the query constants MON_1..12 and ABMON_1..12 return
the strings used by "%B" and "%b", respectively. New query
constants ALTMON_1..12 and _NL_ABALTMON_1..12 return the strings
used by "%OB" and "%Ob", respectively.
In a locale definition file, use "alt_mon" and "ab_alt_mon" to
define the strings for %OB and %Ob, respectively; these have the
same syntax as "mon" and "abmon". These arrays are optional; if they
are not provided then they have the same content as "mon" and "abmon",
respectively.
These features are provided for locales which define "alt_mon" and/or
"ab_alt_mon" in their locale source data. This release includes such
alternative month name data for the following languages: Belarusian,
Croatian, Greek, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian.
This feature is currently a GNU extension, but it is expected to
be added to the next revision of POSIX, and it is also already
available on some BSD-derived operating systems.
This feature will cause existing statically compiled applications
to fail to load locales and fall back to the builtin C/POSIX locales.
See notes below for other changes affecting compatibility.
* Support for the RISC-V ISA running on Linux has been added. This port
requires at least binutils-2.30, gcc-7.3.0, and linux-4.15; and is supported
for the following ISA and ABI pairs:
- rv64imac lp64
- rv64imafdc lp64
- rv64imafdc lp64d
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* Statically compiled applications attempting to load locales compiled for the
GNU C Library version 2.27 will fail and fall back to the builtin C/POSIX
locale. The reason for this is that the addition of the new "%OB" and "%Ob",
support for two grammatical forms of the month names, also extends the locale
data binary format. Static applications needing locale support must be
recompiled to match the runtime and data they are deployed with. In some
distributions there is an upgrade window where dynamically linked applications
may use a new library but the old locale data and also fall back to the
builtin C/POSIX locales; restarting the application process is sufficient to
fix this.
* Support for statically linked applications which call dlopen is deprecated
and will be removed in a future version of glibc. Applications which call
dlopen need to be linked dynamically instead.
* Support for old programs which use internal stdio data structures and
functions is deprecated. This includes programs which use the C++ streams
provided by libstdc++ in GCC 2.95. Programs which use the internal
symbols _IO_adjust_wcolumn, _IO_default_doallocate, _IO_default_finish,
_IO_default_pbackfail, _IO_default_uflow, _IO_default_xsgetn,
_IO_default_xsputn, _IO_doallocbuf, _IO_do_write, _IO_file_attach,
_IO_file_close, _IO_file_close_it, _IO_file_doallocate, _IO_file_fopen,

_IO_file_overflow, _IO_file_read, _IO_file_seek, _IO_file_seekoff,
_IO_file_setbuf, _IO_file_stat, _IO_file_sync, _IO_file_underflow,
_IO_file_write, _IO_file_xsputn, _IO_flockfile, _IO_flush_all,

_IO_wdefault_xsgetn, _IO_wdefault_xsputn, _IO_wdoallocbuf, _IO_wdo_write,
_IO_wfile_jumps, _IO_wfile_overflow, _IO_wfile_sync, _IO_wfile_underflow,
_IO_wfile_xsputn, _IO_wmarker_delta, or _IO_wsetb may stop working with a
future version of glibc. Unlike other symbol removals, these old
applications will not be supported using compatibility symbols.
* On GNU/Linux, the obsolete Linux constant PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL is no longer
defined by <sys/ptrace.h>.
* libm no longer supports SVID error handling (calling a user-provided
matherr function on error) or the _LIB_VERSION variable to control error
handling. (SVID error handling and the _LIB_VERSION variable still work
for binaries linked against older versions of the GNU C Library.) The
libieee.a library is no longer provided. math.h no longer defines struct
exception, or the macros X_TLOSS, DOMAIN, SING, OVERFLOW, UNDERFLOW,
TLOSS, PLOSS and HUGE.
* The libm functions pow10, pow10f and pow10l are no longer supported for
new programs. Programs should use the standard names exp10, exp10f and
exp10l for these functions instead.
* The mcontext_t type is no longer the same as struct sigcontext. On
platforms where it was previously the same, this changes the C++ name
mangling for interfaces involving this type.
* The add-ons mechanism for building additional packages at the same time as
glibc has been removed. The --enable-add-ons configure option is now
ignored.
* The --without-fp configure option is now ignored. Whether hardware
floating-point instructions are used is now configured based on whether
the compiler used at configure time (without any options implied by a
--with-cpu= configure option) uses such instructions.
* The res_hnok, res_dnok, res_mailok and res_ownok functions now check that
the specified string can be parsed as a domain name.
* In the malloc_info output, the <heap> element may contain another <aspace>
element, "subheaps", which contains the number of sub-heaps.
* The libresolv function p_secstodate is no longer supported for new
programs.
* The tilepro-*-linux-gnu configuration is no longer supported.
* The nonstandard header files <libio.h> and <_G_config.h> are deprecated
and will be removed in a future release. Software that is still using
either header should be updated to use standard <stdio.h> interfaces
instead.
libio.h was originally the header for a set of supported GNU extensions,
but they have not been maintained as such in many years, they are now
standing in the way of improvements to stdio, and we don't think there are
any remaining external users. _G_config.h was never intended for public
use, but predates the bits convention.
Changes to build and runtime requirements:
* bison version 2.7 or later is required to generate code in the 'intl'
subdirectory.
Security related changes:
CVE-2009-5064: The ldd script would sometimes run the program under
examination directly, without preventing code execution through the
dynamic linker. (The glibc project disputes that this is a security
vulnerability; only trusted binaries must be examined using the ldd
script.)
CVE-2017-15670: The glob function, when invoked with GLOB_TILDE,
suffered from a one-byte overflow during ~ operator processing (either
on the stack or the heap, depending on the length of the user name).
Reported by Tim Rühsen.
CVE-2017-15671: The glob function, when invoked with GLOB_TILDE,
would sometimes fail to free memory allocated during ~ operator
processing, leading to a memory leak and, potentially, to a denial
of service.
CVE-2017-15804: The glob function, when invoked with GLOB_TILDE and
without GLOB_NOESCAPE, could write past the end of a buffer while
unescaping user names. Reported by Tim Rühsen.
CVE-2017-17426: The malloc function, when called with an object size near
the value SIZE_MAX, would return a pointer to a buffer which is too small,
instead of NULL. This was a regression introduced with the new malloc
thread cache in glibc 2.26. Reported by Iain Buclaw.
CVE-2017-1000408: Incorrect array size computation in _dl_init_paths leads
to the allocation of too much memory. (This is not a security bug per se,
it is mentioned here only because of the CVE assignment.) Reported by
Qualys.
CVE-2017-1000409: Buffer overflow in _dl_init_paths due to miscomputation
of the number of search path components. (This is not a security
vulnerability per se because no trust boundary is crossed if the fix for
CVE-2017-1000366 has been applied, but it is mentioned here only because
of the CVE assignment.) Reported by Qualys.
CVE-2017-16997: Incorrect handling of RPATH or RUNPATH containing $ORIGIN
for AT_SECURE or SUID binaries could be used to load libraries from the
current directory.
CVE-2018-1000001: Buffer underflow in realpath function when getcwd function
succeeds without returning an absolute path due to unexpected behaviour
of the Linux kernel getcwd syscall. Reported by halfdog.
CVE-2018-6485: The posix_memalign and memalign functions, when called with
an object size near the value of SIZE_MAX, would return a pointer to a
buffer which is too small, instead of NULL. Reported by Jakub Wilk.
CVE-2018-6551: The malloc function, when called with an object size near
the value of SIZE_MAX, would return a pointer to a buffer which is too
small, instead of NULL.
