-`threads = yes` is set in `debian/sysdeps/linux.mk` and

-is only read in `debian/rules` for deciding some `nscd` package issue?
-
-`debian/sysdeps/hurd.mk`'s `libc_extra_install` for `ld.so`: check with GCC
-configuration.

- <youpi> uh, the i686 profiles have much more progression than i386
- <youpi> it seems they don't actually run these
- <pinotree> youpi: what do you mean with "we don't run those"?
- <pinotree> iirc there are three build profiles done, but there are 4
- regression test files
- <youpi> yes, but some failing tests are not run in the three build profiles
- <youpi> even if they are built for all of them
- <pinotree> not even run? which ones?
- <youpi> see for instance test-ifloat.out
- <youpi> test-ifloat is built in all profiles, but only run in the libc one
- <pinotree> don't have a glibc built tree around atm, sorry :/
- <youpi> perhaps because glibc thinks it's not useful to run it again if it
- fails on i386
- <youpi> you can check the logs
- <pinotree> do you think glibc's build system is that smart? :)
- <pinotree> all the builds are done in separate builddirs, so theorically
- they should not touch each other...
- <youpi> yes
- <youpi> that's why I'm surprised
- <pinotree> could it be they get not run in optimized/particular builds?
- <pinotree> what about linux/kfreebsd i386?
- <youpi> I don't see what makes them not run
- <youpi> or at least be treated particularly by th eMakefile
- <youpi> not run on kfreebsd either
- <youpi> pinotree: also, most of the tests now working have been marked as
- failing by your patches for 2.17, would it be possible to retry them on
- the box you used at that time?
- <pinotree> that's the vm on my machine
- <youpi> which kind of vm?
- <youpi> kvm?
- <pinotree> y
- <youpi> they are working here
- <youpi> with kvm

-
-# Building
-
-Run `debian/rules patch` to apply patches (instead of having it done during the
-build). Then you can edit files manually.
-
-Several passes: `libc`, `i686`, `xen`; `EGLIBC_PASSES='libc i686'`, etc.
-
-If building with `EGLIBC_PASSES=libc` (more specifically, without `xen`), the
-`libc0.3-dev_extra_pkg_install` rule in `debian/sysdeps/hurd-i386.mk` will
-fail. (Same for `libc6-dev_extra_pkg_install` in `debian/sysdeps/i386.mk`, for
-example.) Why is this special handling only done for `xen`, but not for
-`i686`?
-
-> Samuel: Historically because it's done that way in linux-i386. I don't know
-> the real reason.
-
-Do `export LC_ALL=C` before building, otherwise the testsuite/make error
-messages will be different from those stored in the
-`debian/testsuite-checking/expected-results-*` files, resulting in a spurious
-build failure.
-
-Run `debian/rules build-arch DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=2 [EGLIBC_PASSES=...]`
-to build (or `build` instead of `build-arch` to build the arch-independent
-stuff, too). Can interrupt with `C-c` during locale stuff or testsuite if only
-interested in the build tree.
-
-Run `fakeroot debian/rules binary DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=2
-[EGLIBC_PASSES=...]` to build Debian packages or `binary-arch` for just the
-architecture-dependent ones.
-
-The latter two steps can also be combined as `dpkg-buildpackage -R'debian/rules
-EGLIBC_PASSES=libc' -nc -b -uc`. `-nc` will prevent the *clean step* which
-would first try to un-patch, which may conflict if you have done any edits
-apter applying patches.
-
-If the Debian symbol versioning file is not up to date and the build of Debian
-packages fails due to this, putting `DPKG_GENSYMBOLS_CHECK_LEVEL=0` in the
-environment \`\`helps''; see `man dpkg-gensymbols`.

- <braunr> something seems to have changed with regard to patch handling in
- eglibc 2.17
- <braunr> pinotree: when i add a patch to series and use dpkg-buildpackage,
- i'm told there are local modifications and the build stops :/
- <braunr> any idea what i'm doing wrong ?
- <pinotree> which steps do you do?
- <braunr> i extract the sources, copy the patch to debian/patches/hurd-i386,
- add the appropriate line to debian/patches/series, call dch -i, then
- dpkg-buildpackage
- <pinotree> eglibc is a "3.0 (quilt)" format source package
- <pinotree> this means its default patches are in a quilt-style system, and
- they are applied on extraction
- <braunr> ok
- <braunr> and it can't detect new patches ?
- <pinotree> so if you add a new patch to the global serie, you have to push
- it manually
- <braunr> i have to revert them all ?
- <braunr> ok
- <braunr> how do i do that ?
- <pinotree> quilt push -a
- <braunr> ok
- <braunr> thanks
- <pinotree> remember to do that before starting the build, since the rest
- assumes the quilt-style patches are fully applied
- <bddebian> No push applies them, quilt pop -a reverts them
- <pinotree> yeah, and he has to push the new over the dpkg-applied ones
- <bddebian> Oh, aye
- <braunr> does quilt change series ?
- <pinotree> no
- <braunr> ok
- <pinotree> i mean, some commands do that
- <braunr> so i do everything i did, with an additional push, right ?
- <pinotree> ok, screw me, i didn't get your question above :P
- <braunr> does that change your answer ?
- <pinotree> <braunr> does quilt change series ?
- <braunr> yes
- <pinotree> if you import or create a new patch, it changes series indeed
- <braunr> ok
- <pinotree> push or pop of patches does not
- <braunr> i'm doing it wron
- <braunr> g
- <pinotree> btw, in a quilt patch stack you can easily import a new patch
- using the import command
- <pinotree> so for example you could do
- <pinotree> apt-get source eglibc # or get it somehow else
- <pinotree> cd eglibc-*
- <pinotree> quilt import /location/of/my/patch
- <pinotree> quilt push # now your patch is applied
- <braunr> ah thanks
- <pinotree> dpkg-buildpackage as usual
- <braunr> that's what i was looking for
- <bddebian> quilt new adds a new entry in series
- <pinotree> y
- <bddebian> or import, aye
- <pinotree> braunr: if you want to learn quilt, a very good doc is its own,
- eg /usr/share/doc/quilt/quilt.txt.gz
- * bddebian has never actually used import
- <braunr> ok
- <pinotree> it is basically a simple stack of patches
-
- <youpi> braunr: yes, patch handling is a bit different
- <youpi> the arch-independant patches are applied by dpkg-source -x
- <youpi> and the arch-dependent patches are applied during build

- <markus_w1nner> I have a strange tcp via localhost question:
- <markus_wanner> The other side closes the connection, but I haven't read
- all data, yet. I should still be able to read the pending data, no?
- <markus_wanner> At least it seems to work that way on Linux, but not on
- Hurd.
- <markus_wanner> Got a simple repro with nc, if you're interested...
- <youpi> markus_wanner: yes, we're interested
- <markus_wanner> youpi: okay, here we go:
- <markus_wanner> session 1: nc -l -p 7777 localhost
- <markus_wanner> session 2: nc 127.0.0.1 7777
- <markus_wanner> session 2: a <RET> b <RET> c <RET>
- <markus_wanner> session 1: [ pause with Ctrl-Z ]
- <markus_wanner> session 2: [ send more data ] d <RET> e <RET> f <RET>
- <markus_wanner> session 2: [ quit with Ctrl-C ]
- <markus_wanner> session 1: [ resume with 'fg' ]
- <markus_wanner> The server on session 1 doesn't get the data sent after it
- paused and before the client closed the connection.
- <markus_wanner> I'm not sure if that's a valid TCP thing. However, on
- Linux, the server still gets the data. On hurd it doesn't.
- <markus_wanner> I'm working on a C-code test case, ATM.
- <youpi> markus_wanner: on which box are you seeing this behavior?
- <youpi> exodar does not have it
- <youpi> i.e. I do get the d e f
- <markus_wanner> a private VM (I'm not a DD)
- <markus_wanner> ..updated to latest experimental stuff.
- <markus_wanner> GNU lematur 0.3 GNU-Mach 1.3.99-486/Hurd-0.3 i686-AT386 GNU
- <youpi> ok, I can't reproduce it on my vm either
- <youpi> maybe the C program will help
- <markus_wanner> Hm.. cannot corrently reproduce that in C. (Netcat still
- shows the issue, though).
- <markus_wanner> I'll try to strace netcat...
- <markus_wanner> ..Meh. strace not available on Hurd?
- <pinotree> no, but there is rpctrace to show the various rpc
- <markus_wanner> Cool, looks helpful.
- <markus_wanner> Thx
- <markus_wanner> Uh.. that introduces another error:
- <markus_wanner> rpctrace: ../../utils/rpctrace.c:1287: trace_and_forward:
- Assertion `reply_type == 18' failed.
-
-[[hurd/debugging/rpctrace]].
-
- <youpi> I'm checking on a box without ipv6 configuration
- <youpi> maybe that's the difference between you and me
- <youpi> I guess your /etc/alternatives/nc is /bin/nc.traditional ?
- <markus_wanner> Yup, nc.traditional.
- <markus_wanner> Looks like that box only has IPv4 configured.
- <markus_wanner> Something very strange is going on here. No matter how hard
- I try, I cannot reproduce this with netcat, anymore.
- <pinotree> not even after a reboot?
- <markus_wanner> Woo.. here, it happened, again! This is driving me crazy!
- <markus_wanner> Now, nc seemingly connects, but is unable to send data
- between the two. Netcat would somehow complain, if it failed to connect,
- no?
- <markus_wanner> No it worked.
- <markus_wanner> So this seems to be an intermittent issue. So far, I could
- only ever repro it as a normal user, not as root. May be coincidental,
- though.
- <markus_wanner> Now, 'a' and 'b' made it through, but not the 'c' sent
- manually just after that. Something with that TCP/IP stack is definitely
- fishy.
- <markus_wanner> Anything I can try to investigate? Or shall I simply
- restart and see if the problem persists?
- <youpi> maybe restart, yes
- <youpi> did you restart since the upgrade ?
- <markus_wanner> Yes, I restarted after that.
- <markus_wanner> Hm.. okay, restarted. Some problem persists.
- <markus_wanner> I currently have two netcat processes connected, the
- listening one got some first two messages and seems stuck now.
- <markus_wanner> With the client, I tried to send more data, but the server
- doesn't get it, anymore.
- <markus_wanner> Any idea on what I can do to analyze the situation?
- <youpi> for the netcat issue, I haven't experienced this
- <youpi> are you running in kvm or virtualbox or something else?
- <markus_wanner> I'm currently puzzled about what "experimental" actually
- ships.
- <markus_wanner> On kvm.
- <markus_wanner> My libc0.3 used to be 2.13-39+hurd.3.
- <markus_wanner> But packages.d.o already shows 2.17.0experimental2.
- <youpi> experimental ships experimental versions, which you aren't supposed
- to use
- <youpi> unless you know what you are doing
- <youpi> iirc 2.17 is known to be quite broken for now
- <markus_wanner> Okay. So I guess I'll try to "downgrade" to unstable, then.
- <markus_wanner> Phew, okay, successfully downgraded to unstable.
- <markus_wanner> Hopefully monotone's test suite runs through fine, now.
- <markus_wanner> Yup, WORKING! Looks like some experimental packages caused
- the problem. The netcat test as well as that one failing monotone test
- work fine, now.

- <tschwinge> pinotree, youpi: Is there anything from that markus_wanner
- discussion about pfinet/netcat/signals that needs to be filed? I guess
- we don't know what exactly he changed so that everything workedd fine
- eventually? (Some experimental package(s), but which?)
- <youpi> that was libc0.3 packages

-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-02-19
-
- <braunr> for info, the localedef segfault has been fixed upstream
- <braunr> or rather, upstream has been written in a way that won't trigger
- the segfault
- <braunr> it is caused by the locale archive code that maps the locale
- archive file in the address space, enlarging the mapping as needed, but
- unmaps the complete reserved size of 512M on close
- <braunr> munmap is implemented through vm_deallocate, but it looks like the
- latter doesn't allow deallocating unmapped regions of the address space
- <braunr> (to be confirmed)
- <braunr> upstream code tracks the mapping size so vm_deallocate won't whine
- <braunr> i expect we'll have that in eglibc 2.18
- <braunr> hm actually, posix says munmap must refer to memory obtained with
- mmap :)
- <braunr> (or actually, that the behaviour is undefined, which most unix
- systems allow anyway, but not us)
-
- <braunr> also, before i leave, i have partially traced the localedef
- segfault
- <youpi> ah, cool
- <braunr> localedef maps the locale archive, and enlarges the mapping as
- needed
- <braunr> but munmaps the complete 512m reserved area
- <braunr> and i strongly suspect it unmaps something it shouldn't on the
- hurd
- <braunr> since linux mmap has different boundaries depending on the mapping
- use
- <braunr> while our glibc will happily maps stacks below text
- <braunr> the good news is that it looks fixed upstream
- <youpi> ah :)
- <braunr>
- https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=17db6e8d6b12f55e312fcab46faf5d332c806fb6
- <braunr> see the change about close_archive
- <braunr> i haven't tested it though
-
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-02-21
-
- <gg0> just upgraded to 2.18, locales still segfaults
- <braunr> ok
-
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-02-23
-
- <braunr> ok, as expected, the localdef bug is because of some mmap issue
-
-[[glibc/mmap]].
-
- <braunr> looks like our mmap doesn't like mapping files with PROT_NONE
- <braunr> shouldn't be too hard to fix
- <braunr> gg0: i should have a fix ready soon for localedef
-
- <braunr> youpi: i have a patch for glibc about the localedef segfault
- <youpi> is that the backport we talked about, or something else?
- <braunr> something else
- <braunr> in short
- <braunr> mmap() PROT_NONE on files return 0
- <youpi> ok
- <youpi> seems like fixable indeed
- <braunr> nothing is mapped, and the localdef code doesn't consider this an
- error
- <braunr> my current fix is to handle PROT_NONE like PROT_READ
- <youpi> doesn't vm_protect allow to map something without giving read
- right?
- <braunr> it probably does
- <braunr> the problem is in glibc
- <youpi> ok
- <braunr> when i say like PROT_READ, i mean a memory object gets a reference
- <braunr> on the read port returned by io_map
- <braunr> since it's not accessible anyway, it shouldn't make a difference
- <braunr> but i preferred to have the memory object referenced anyway to
- match what i expect is done by other systems
-

-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-06-30
-
- <youpi> Mmm
- <youpi> __access ("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) at startup of ext2fs
- <youpi> deemed to fail....
- <pinotree> when does that happen?
- <youpi> at hwcap initialization
- <youpi> at least that's were ext2fs.static linked against libc 2.17 hangs
- at startup
- <youpi> and this is indeed a very good culprit :)
- <pinotree> ah, a debian patch
- <youpi> does anybody know a quick way to know whether one is the / ext2fs ?
- :)
- <pinotree> isn't the root fs given a special port?
- <youpi> I was thinking about something like this, yes
- <youpi> ok, boots
- <youpi> I'll build a 8~0 that includes the fix
- <youpi> so people can easily build the hurd package
- <youpi> Mmm, no, the bootstrap port is also NULL for normally-started
- processes :/
- <youpi> I don't understand why
- <youpi> ah, only translators get a bootstrap port :/
- <youpi> perhaps CRDIR then
- <youpi> (which makes a lot of sense)
-
-
-## IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-07-01

- <braunr> youpi: what is local-no-bootstrap-fs-access.diff supposed to fix ?
- <youpi> ext2fs.static linked againt debian glibc 2.17
- <youpi> well, as long as you don't build & use ext2fs.static with it...
- <braunr> that's thing, i want to :)

- <teythoon> when I boot a system with that libc that is ?
- <teythoon> I wish youpi would have been more specific, I've never built the

- <braunr> debian/rules build in the debian package
- <braunr> ctrl-c when you see gcc invocations
- <braunr> cd buildir; make lib others
- <braunr> although hm
- <braunr> what breaks is at boot time right ?
- <teythoon> yes
- <braunr> heh ..
- <braunr> then dpkg-buildpackage
- <braunr> DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck speeds things up
- <braunr> just answer on the mailing list and ask him

- <gnu_srs> teythoon: k!, any luck with eglibc-2.18?
- <teythoon> tbh i didn't look into this after two unsuccessful attempts at

- <bdefreese> OK, how the heck do you get an undefined reference to mremap?
- <youpi> simply because we don't have it
- <pinotree> mremap exists only on linux
- <bdefreese> It's in sys/mman.h
- <pinotree> on linux?
- <bdefreese> No, on GNU/Hurd
- <bdefreese> /usr/include/i386-gnu/sys/mman.h
- <youpi> that's just the common file with linux
- <youpi> containing just the prototype
- <youpi> that doesn't mean there's an implementation behind
- <pinotree> youpi: hm no, linux has an own version
- <youpi> uh
- <bdefreese> Ah, aye, I didn't look at the implementation.. :(
- <youpi> it's then odd that it was added to the generic sys/mman.h :)
- <bdefreese> Just another stub?
- <pinotree> ah, only few linux archs have own versions
- <youpi> for the macro values I guess
- <pinotree> http://paste.debian.net/175173/ on glibc/master
- <bdefreese> Hmm, so where is MREMAP_MAYMOVE coming in from?
- <youpi> rgrep on a linux box ;)
- <youpi> <bits/mman.h>
- <youpi> but that's again linuxish
- <bdefreese> Aye but with us having that in the header it is causing some
- code to be run which utilizes mremap. If that wasn't defined we wouldn't
- be calling it.
- <youpi> ah
- <youpi> we could try to remove it indeed
- <bdefreese> Should I change the code to #ifdef MREMAP_MAYMOVE & !defined
- __GNU__?
- <youpi> no, I said we could remove the definition of MREMAP_MAYMOVE itself

-This basically means to get rid of `sysdeps/mach/hurd/bits/libc-tsd.h` (and

- <tschwinge> youpi: If we want to replace threadvars with TLS, there is one
- problem: the threadvars interface is publically exported:
- /usr/include/hurd/threadvar.h.
- <tschwinge> youpi: But I am somewhat inclined to say that the only user of
- this is libthreads/libpthread. Do you think differently?
- <youpi> tschwinge: that's very probable
- <youpi> so I think we can just drop it
- <youpi> (people should use TLS anyway)
-

-
-After this has been done, probably the whole `__libc_tsd_*` stuff can be
-dropped altogether, and `__thread` directly be used in glibc.

- <tschwinge> r5219: Update libpthread patch to replace threadvar with tls
- for pthread_self
- <tschwinge> r5224: revert r5219 too, it's not ready either
- <youpi> as the changelog says, the __thread revertal is because it posed
- problems
- <youpi> and I just didn't have any time to check them while the freeze was
- so close
- <tschwinge> OK. What kind of problems? Should it be reverted upstream,
- too?
- <youpi> I don't remember exactly
- <youpi> it should just be fixed
- <youpi> we can revert it upstream, but it'd be good that we manage to
- progress, at some point...
- <tschwinge> Of course -- however as long as we don't know what kind of
- problem, it is a bit difficult. ;-)
- <youpi> since I didn't left a note, it was most probably a mere glibc run,
- or boot with the patched libpthread

- <tschwinge> OK.
- <tschwinge> The libpthread testsuite doesn't show any issues with that

- <youpi> I'm currently tracking bugs with my threadvars changes
- <youpi> some of them seem fine, others, not
- <youpi> of course the most complex ones are the most probable culprits for

- <youpi> fortunately they're after the process bootstrap
- <youpi> so basically that works
- <youpi> just a few dozen tests fail
- <youpi> mostly about loading .so or raising signals
- <youpi> dlopen("bug-dlsym1-lib1.so"): bug-dlsym1-lib1.so: cannot open
- shared object file: Function not implemented
- <youpi> after having changed errno a bit
- <youpi> doesn't that look odd ? :)
- <youpi> good, I found an issue with the sigstate
- <youpi> now running testsuite again, to see whether there are other issues
- with it :)

- <tschwinge> In glibc multiarch support (strcasecmp for i686 SSE3, etc.)

- <youpi> depends on the access
- <tschwinge> * `optimized strcasecmp and strncasecmp for x86-32`

- access.
- <youpi> + movl __libc_tsd_LOCALE@GOTNTPOFF(%ebx), %eax
- <youpi> that's handled by the linker fine
- <youpi> it's only the things held in the tcb_t structure which can pose
- problem
- <tschwinge> tcbhead_t?
- <tschwinge> I'm looking at this.
- <tschwinge> So, at gs:0, there is the TCB.
- <tschwinge> And we have the same layout as NPTL/Linux, just that we
- don't have as much data there as they have.
- <tschwinge> We're missing multiple_threads, sysinfo, sttack_guard,
- pointer_guard, gscope_flag, private_futex, __private_tm[5].
- <tschwinge> So, if one of these is referenced (be it my name or by
- numeric offset), this is invalid for us.
- <tschwinge> Anything else should work equivalently.
- <youpi> yes
- <youpi> usually the only numeric offset being used is 0
- <youpi> so it would simply not build
- <tschwinge> And the other offsers are generated via tcb-offsets.sym.
- <tschwinge> glibc's elf/stackguard-macros.h is wrong for us (but not
- used anywhere apart from elf/tst-stackguard1.c, I think).
-
-After commit a9538892adfbb9f092e0bb14ff3a1703973968af, it's
-`sysdeps/i386/stackguard-macros.h`; problem remains.
-
- <tschwinge> __thread __locale_t __libc_tsd_LOCALE = &_nl_global_locale;
- -- this means that a __libc_tsd_LOCALE values will be in the TLS
- segment, and this is what is being accessed from the assembler code
- with %gs:__libc_tsd_LOCALE@NTPOFF, and the linker will resolve this.
- <youpi> yes
- <youpi> see in the nm output, the libc_tsd symbols
- <youpi> these provide the offsets
- <tschwinge> youpi: Thank you, I'm now understanding this part of TLS
- much better.
- <youpi> have you had a look at the tls.pdf from Uli ?
- <youpi> all the gory details are there :)
-
-Commit c61b4d41c9647a54a329aa021341c0eb032b793e, [[!sourceware_PR 15754]], adds
-`sysdeps/i386/stackguard-macros.h:POINTER_CHK_GUARD`, which is not correct for
-us (at the moment), but it also shouldn't cause any harm, as this file is only
-used in `elf/tst-ptrguard1.c` and `elf/tst-stackguard1.c`, which now will fail
-to build for us, as we don't have a `pointer_guard` member in
-`sysdeps/mach/hurd/tls.h:tcbhead_t`.
-
-We don't define `THREAD_SET_POINTER_GUARD`.
