GNU C Library NEWS -- history of user-visible changes.
Copyright (C) 1992-2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
See the end for copying conditions.
Please send GNU C library bug reports via <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/>
using `glibc' in the "product" field.
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
exectuables 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, x32 and aarch64.
* Optimized x86-64 asin, atan2, exp, expf, log, pow, atan, sin, cosf,
sinf 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 and sinf.
* 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, 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, 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.
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* 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.
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 2.26
Major new features:
* A per-thread cache has been added to malloc. Access to the cache requires
no locks and therefore significantly accelerates the fast path to allocate
and free small amounts of memory. Refilling an empty cache requires locking
the underlying arena. Performance measurements show significant gains in a
wide variety of user workloads. Workloads were captured using a special
instrumented malloc and analyzed with a malloc simulator. Contributed by
DJ Delorie with the help of Florian Weimer, and Carlos O'Donell.
* Unicode 10.0.0 Support: Character encoding, character type info, and
transliteration tables are all updated to Unicode 10.0.0, using
generator scripts contributed by Mike FABIAN (Red Hat).
These updates cause user visible changes, especially the changes in
wcwidth for many emoji characters cause problems when emoji sequences
are rendered with pango, see for example:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780669#c5
* Collation of Hungarian has been overhauled and is now consistent with "The
Rules of Hungarian Orthography, 12th edition" (Bug 18934). Contributed by
Egmont Koblinger.
* Improvements to the DNS stub resolver, contributed by Florian Weimer:
- The GNU C Library will now detect when /etc/resolv.conf has been
modified and reload the changed configuration. The new resolver option
“no-reload” (RES_NORELOAD) disables this behavior.
- The GNU C Library now supports an arbitrary number of search domains
(configured using the “search” directive in /etc/resolv.conf);
previously, there was a hard limit of six domains. For backward
compatibility, applications that directly modify the ‘_res’ global
object are still limited to six search domains.
- When the “rotate” (RES_ROTATE) resolver option is active, the GNU C
Library will now randomly pick a name server from the configuration as a
starting point. (Previously, the second name server was always used.)
* The tunables feature is now enabled by default. This allows users to tweak
behavior of the GNU C Library using the GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variable.
* New function reallocarray, which resizes an allocated block (like realloc)
to the product of two sizes, with a guaranteed clean failure upon integer
overflow in the multiplication. Originally from OpenBSD, contributed by
Dennis Wölfing and Rüdiger Sonderfeld.
* New wrappers for the Linux-specific system calls preadv2 and pwritev2.
These are extended versions of preadv and pwritev, respectively, taking an
additional flags argument. The set of supported flags depends on the
running kernel; full support currently requires kernel 4.7 or later.
* posix_spawnattr_setflags now supports the flag POSIX_SPAWN_SETSID, to
create a new session ID for the spawned process. This feature is
scheduled to be added to the next major revision of POSIX; for the time
being, it is available under _GNU_SOURCE.
* errno.h is now safe to use from C-preprocessed assembly language on all
supported operating systems. In this context, it will only define the
Exxxx constants, as preprocessor macros expanding to integer literals.
* On ia64, powerpc64le, x86-32, and x86-64, the math library now implements
128-bit floating point as defined by ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559:2011 (IEEE
754-2008) and ISO/IEC TS 18661-3:2015. Contributed by Paul E. Murphy,
Gabriel F. T. Gomes, Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho, and Joseph Myers.
To compile programs that use this feature, the compiler must support
128-bit floating point with the type name _Float128 (as defined by TS
18661-3) or __float128 (the nonstandard name used by GCC for C++, and for
C prior to version 7). _GNU_SOURCE or __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_TYPES_EXT__
must be defined to make the new interfaces visible.
The new functions and macros correspond to those present for other
floating-point types (except for a few obsolescent interfaces not
supported for the new type), with F128 or f128 suffixes; for example,
strtof128, HUGE_VAL_F128 and cosf128. Following TS 18661-3, there are no
printf or scanf formats for the new type; the strfromf128 and strtof128
interfaces should be used instead.
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* The synchronization that pthread_spin_unlock performs has been changed to
now be equivalent to a C11 atomic store with release memory order to the
spin lock's memory location. Previously, several (but not all)
architectures used stronger synchronization (e.g., containing what is
often called a full barrier). This change can improve performance, but
may affect odd fringe uses of spin locks that depend on the previous
behavior (e.g., using spin locks as atomic variables to try to implement
Dekker's mutual exclusion algorithm).
* The port to Native Client running on ARMv7-A (--host=arm-nacl) has been
removed.
* Sun RPC is deprecated. The rpcgen program, librpcsvc, and Sun RPC headers
will only be built and installed when the GNU C Library is configured with
--enable-obsolete-rpc. This allows alternative RPC implementations, such
as TIRPC or rpcsvc-proto, to be used.
* The NIS(+) name service modules, libnss_nis, libnss_nisplus, and
libnss_compat, are deprecated, and will not be built or installed by
default.
The NIS(+) support library, libnsl, is also deprecated. By default, a
compatibility shared library will be built and installed, but not headers
or development libraries. Only a few NIS-related programs require this
library. (In particular, the GNU C Library has never required programs
that use 'gethostbyname' to be linked with libnsl.)
Replacement implementations based on TIRPC, which additionally support
IPv6, are available from <https://github.com/thkukuk/>. The configure
option --enable-obsolete-nsl will cause libnsl's headers, and the NIS(+)
name service modules, to be built and installed.
* The DNS stub resolver no longer performs EDNS fallback. If EDNS or DNSSEC
support is enabled, the configured recursive resolver must support EDNS.
(Responding to EDNS-enabled queries with responses which are not
EDNS-enabled is fine, but FORMERR responses are not.)
* res_mkquery and res_nmkquery no longer support the IQUERY opcode. DNS
servers have not supported this opcode for a long time.
* The _res_opcodes variable has been removed from libresolv. It had been
exported by accident.
* <string.h> no longer includes inline versions of any string functions,
as this kind of optimization is better done by the compiler. The macros
__USE_STRING_INLINES and __NO_STRING_INLINES no longer have any effect.
* The nonstandard header <xlocale.h> has been removed. Most programs should
use <locale.h> instead. If you have a specific need for the definition of
locale_t with no other declarations, please contact
libc-alpha@sourceware.org and explain.
* The obsolete header <sys/ultrasound.h> has been removed.
* The obsolete signal constant SIGUNUSED is no longer defined by <signal.h>.
* The obsolete function cfree has been removed. Applications should use
free instead.
* The stack_t type no longer has the name struct sigaltstack. This changes
the C++ name mangling for interfaces involving this type.
* The ucontext_t type no longer has the name struct ucontext. This changes
the C++ name mangling for interfaces involving this type.
* On M68k GNU/Linux and MIPS GNU/Linux, the fpregset_t type no longer has
the name struct fpregset. On Nios II GNU/Linux, the mcontext_t type no
longer has the name struct mcontext. On SPARC GNU/Linux, the struct
mc_fq, struct rwindow, struct fpq and struct fq types are no longer
defined in sys/ucontext.h, the mc_fpu_t type no longer has the name struct
mc_fpu, the gwindows_t type no longer has the name struct gwindows and the
fpregset_t type no longer has the name struct fpu. This changes the C++
name mangling for interfaces involving those types.
* On S/390 GNU/Linux, the constants defined by <sys/ptrace.h> have been
synced with the kernel:
- PTRACE_GETREGS, PTRACE_SETREGS, PTRACE_GETFPREGS and PTRACE_SETFPREGS
are not supported on this architecture and have been removed.
- PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK, PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_FILTER, PTRACE_PEEKUSR_AREA,
PTRACE_POKEUSR_AREA, PTRACE_GET_LAST_BREAK, PTRACE_ENABLE_TE,
PTRACE_DISABLE_TE and PTRACE_TE_ABORT_RAND have been added.
Programs that assume the GET/SETREGS ptrace requests are universally
available will now fail to build, instead of malfunctioning at runtime.
Changes to build and runtime requirements:
* Linux kernel 3.2 or later is required at runtime, on all architectures
supported by that kernel. (This is a change from version 2.25 only for
x86-32 and x86-64.)
* GNU Binutils 2.25 or later is now required to build the GNU C Library.
* On most architectures, GCC 4.9 or later is required to build the GNU C
Library. On powerpc64le, GCC 6.2 or later is required.
Older GCC versions and non-GNU compilers are still supported when
compiling programs that use the GNU C Library. (We do not know exactly
how old, and some GNU extensions to C may be _de facto_ required. If you
are interested in helping us make this statement less vague, please
contact libc-alpha@sourceware.org.)
Security related changes:
* The DNS stub resolver limits the advertised UDP buffer size to 1200 bytes,
to avoid fragmentation-based spoofing attacks (CVE-2017-12132).
* LD_LIBRARY_PATH is now ignored in binaries running in privileged AT_SECURE
mode to guard against local privilege escalation attacks (CVE-2017-1000366).
* Avoid printing a backtrace from the __stack_chk_fail function since it is
called on a corrupt stack and a backtrace is unreliable on a corrupt stack
(CVE-2010-3192).
* A use-after-free vulnerability in clntudp_call in the Sun RPC system has been
fixed (CVE-2017-12133).

Version 2.25
* The feature test macro __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT2__, from ISO/IEC TR
24731-2:2010, is supported to enable declarations of functions from that
TR. Note that not all functions from that TR are supported by the GNU C
Library.
* The feature test macro __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__, from ISO/IEC TS
18661-1:2014, is supported to enable declarations of functions and macros
from that TS. Note that not all features from that TS are supported by
the GNU C Library.
* The feature test macro __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_FUNCS_EXT__, from ISO/IEC TS
18661-4:2015, is supported to enable declarations of functions and macros
from that TS. Note that most features from that TS are not supported by
the GNU C Library.
* The nonstandard feature selection macros _REENTRANT and _THREAD_SAFE are
now treated as compatibility synonyms for _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L.
Since the GNU C Library defaults to a much newer revision of POSIX, this
will only affect programs that specifically request an old conformance
mode. For instance, a program compiled with -std=c89 -D_REENTRANT will
see a change in the visible declarations, but a program compiled with
just -D_REENTRANT, or -std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -D_REENTRANT,
will not.
Some C libraries once required _REENTRANT and/or _THREAD_SAFE to be
defined by all multithreaded code, but glibc has not required this for
many years.
* The inclusion of <sys/sysmacros.h> by <sys/types.h> is deprecated. This
means that in a future release, the macros “major”, “minor”, and “makedev”
will only be available from <sys/sysmacros.h>.
These macros are not part of POSIX nor XSI, and their names frequently
collide with user code; see for instance glibc bug 19239 and Red Hat bug
130601. <stdlib.h> includes <sys/types.h> under _GNU_SOURCE, and C++ code
presently cannot avoid being compiled under _GNU_SOURCE, exacerbating the
problem.
* New <fenv.h> features from TS 18661-1:2014 are added to libm: the
fesetexcept, fetestexceptflag, fegetmode and fesetmode functions, the
femode_t type and the FE_DFL_MODE and FE_SNANS_ALWAYS_SIGNAL macros.
* Integer width macros from TS 18661-1:2014 are added to <limits.h>:
CHAR_WIDTH, SCHAR_WIDTH, UCHAR_WIDTH, SHRT_WIDTH, USHRT_WIDTH, INT_WIDTH,
UINT_WIDTH, LONG_WIDTH, ULONG_WIDTH, LLONG_WIDTH, ULLONG_WIDTH; and to
<stdint.h>: INT8_WIDTH, UINT8_WIDTH, INT16_WIDTH, UINT16_WIDTH,
INT32_WIDTH, UINT32_WIDTH, INT64_WIDTH, UINT64_WIDTH, INT_LEAST8_WIDTH,
UINT_LEAST8_WIDTH, INT_LEAST16_WIDTH, UINT_LEAST16_WIDTH,
INT_LEAST32_WIDTH, UINT_LEAST32_WIDTH, INT_LEAST64_WIDTH,
UINT_LEAST64_WIDTH, INT_FAST8_WIDTH, UINT_FAST8_WIDTH, INT_FAST16_WIDTH,
UINT_FAST16_WIDTH, INT_FAST32_WIDTH, UINT_FAST32_WIDTH, INT_FAST64_WIDTH,
UINT_FAST64_WIDTH, INTPTR_WIDTH, UINTPTR_WIDTH, INTMAX_WIDTH,
UINTMAX_WIDTH, PTRDIFF_WIDTH, SIG_ATOMIC_WIDTH, SIZE_WIDTH, WCHAR_WIDTH,
WINT_WIDTH.
* New <math.h> features are added from TS 18661-1:2014:

* The functions strfromd, strfromf, and strfroml, from ISO/IEC TS 18661-1:2014,
are added to libc. They convert a floating-point number into string.
* Most of glibc can now be built with the stack smashing protector enabled.
It is recommended to build glibc with --enable-stack-protector=strong.
Implemented by Nick Alcock (Oracle).
* The function explicit_bzero, from OpenBSD, has been added to libc. It is
intended to be used instead of memset() to erase sensitive data after use;
the compiler will not optimize out calls to explicit_bzero even if they
are "unnecessary" (in the sense that no _correct_ program can observe the
effects of the memory clear).
* On ColdFire, MicroBlaze, Nios II and SH3, the float_t type is now defined
to float instead of double. This does not affect the ABI of any libraries
that are part of the GNU C Library, but may affect the ABI of other
libraries that use this type in their interfaces.
* On x86_64, when compiling with -mfpmath=387 or -mfpmath=sse+387, the
float_t and double_t types are now defined to long double instead of float
and double. These options are not the default, and this does not affect
the ABI of any libraries that are part of the GNU C Library, but it may
affect the ABI of other libraries that use this type in their interfaces,
if they are compiled or used with those options.
* The getentropy and getrandom functions, and the <sys/random.h> header file
have been added.
* The buffer size for byte-oriented stdio streams is now limited to 8192
bytes by default. Previously, on Linux, the default buffer size on most
file systems was 4096 bytes (and thus remains unchanged), except on
network file systems, where the buffer size was unpredictable and could be
as large as several megabytes.
* The <sys/quota.h> header now includes the <linux/quota.h> header. Support
for the Linux quota interface which predates kernel version 2.4.22 has
been removed.
* The malloc_get_state and malloc_set_state functions have been removed.
Already-existing binaries that dynamically link to these functions will
get a hidden implementation in which malloc_get_state is a stub. As far
as we know, these functions are used only by GNU Emacs and this change
will not adversely affect already-built Emacs executables. Any undumped
Emacs executables, which normally exist only during an Emacs build, should
be rebuilt by re-running “./configure; make” in the Emacs build tree.
* The “ip6-dotint” and “no-ip6-dotint” resolver options, and the
corresponding RES_NOIP6DOTINT flag from <resolv.h> have been removed.
“no-ip6-dotint” had already been the default, and support for the
“ip6-dotint” option was removed from the Internet in 2006.
* The "ip6-bytestring" resolver option and the corresponding RES_USEBSTRING
flag from <resolv.h> have been removed. The option relied on a
backwards-incompatible DNS extension which was never deployed on the
Internet.
* The flags RES_AAONLY, RES_PRIMARY, RES_NOCHECKNAME, RES_KEEPTSIG,
RES_BLAST defined in the <resolv.h> header file have been deprecated.
They were already unimplemented.
* The "inet6" option in /etc/resolv.conf and the RES_USE_INET6 flag for
_res.flags are deprecated. The flag was standardized in RFC 2133, but
removed again from the IETF name lookup interface specification in RFC
2553. Applications should use getaddrinfo instead.
* DNSSEC-related declarations and definitions have been removed from the
<arpa/nameser.h> header file, and libresolv will no longer attempt to
decode the data part of DNSSEC record types. Previous versions of glibc
only implemented minimal support for the previous version of DNSSEC, which
is incompatible with the currently deployed version.
* The resource record type classification macros ns_t_qt_p, ns_t_mrr_p,
ns_t_rr_p, ns_t_udp_p, ns_t_xfr_p have been removed from the
<arpa/nameser.h> header file because the distinction between RR types and
meta-RR types is not officially standardized, subject to revision, and
thus not suitable for encoding in a macro.
* The types res_sendhookact, res_send_qhook, re_send_rhook, and the qhook
and rhook members of the res_state type in <resolv.h> have been removed.
The glibc stub resolver did not support these hooks, but the header file
did not reflect that.
* For multi-arch support it is recommended to use a GCC which has
been built with support for GNU indirect functions. This ensures
that correct debugging information is generated for functions
selected by IFUNC resolvers. This support can either be enabled by
configuring GCC with '--enable-gnu-indirect-function', or by
enabling it by default by setting 'default_gnu_indirect_function'
variable for a particular architecture in the GCC source file
'gcc/config.gcc'.
* GDB pretty printers have been added for mutex and condition variable
structures in POSIX Threads. When installed and loaded in gdb these pretty
printers show various pthread variables in human-readable form when read
using the 'print' or 'display' commands in gdb.
* Tunables feature added to allow tweaking of the runtime for an application
program. This feature can be enabled with the '--enable-tunables' configure
flag. The GNU C Library manual has details on usage and README.tunables has
instructions on adding new tunables to the library.
* A new version of condition variables functions have been implemented in
the NPTL implementation of POSIX Threads to provide stronger ordering
guarantees.
* A new version of pthread_rwlock functions have been implemented to use a more
scalable algorithm primarily through not using a critical section anymore to
make state changes.
Security related changes:
* On ARM EABI (32-bit), generating a backtrace for execution contexts which
have been created with makecontext could fail to terminate due to a
missing .cantunwind annotation. This has been observed to lead to a hang
(denial of service) in some Go applications compiled with gccgo. Reported
by Andreas Schwab. (CVE-2016-6323)
* The DNS stub resolver functions would crash due to a NULL pointer
dereference when processing a query with a valid DNS question type which
was used internally in the implementation. The stub resolver now uses a
question type which is outside the range of valid question type values.

Version 2.24
* The minimum Linux kernel version that this version of the GNU C Library
can be used with is 3.2, except on i[4567]86 and x86_64, where Linux
kernel version 2.6.32 or later suffices (on architectures that already
required kernel versions more recent than 3.2, those requirements remain
unchanged). Linux 3.2 or later kernel headers are required on all
architectures.
* The pap_AN locale has been deleted. This has been deprecated for a long
time. It has been replaced by pap_AW & pap_CW, both of which have long
been included in previous releases.
* The readdir_r and readdir64_r functions have been deprecated. It is
recommended to use readdir and readdir64 instead.
* The type “union wait” has been removed. It was deprecated in the early
1990s and never part of POSIX. Application code should use the int type
instead of “union wait”.
* A new NSS action is added to facilitate large distributed system
administration. The action, MERGE, allows remote user stores like LDAP
to be merged into local user stores like /etc/groups in order to provide
easy to use, updated, and managed sets of merged credentials. The new
action can be used by configuring it in /etc/nsswitch.conf:
group: files [SUCCESS=merge] nis
Implemented by Stephen Gallagher (Red Hat).
* The deprecated __malloc_initialize_hook variable has been removed from the
API.
* The long unused localedef --old-style option has been removed. It hasn't
done anything in over 16 years. Scripts using this option can safely
drop it.
* nextupl, nextup, nextupf, nextdownl, nextdown and nextdownf are added to
libm. They are defined by TS 18661 and IEEE754-2008. The nextup functions
return the next representable value in the direction of positive infinity
and the nextdown functions return the next representable value in the
direction of negative infinity. These are currently enabled as GNU
