        <pinotree> ah, because you do cross-compilation?
        <tschwinge> No, that's natively.
        <tschwinge> There is also a not of what happened in cross-gnu when I
          enabled multi-arch.
        <tschwinge> No idea whether that's still relevant, though.
        <pinotree> EPARSE
        <tschwinge> s%not%note
        <tschwinge> Better?
        <pinotree> yes :)
        <tschwinge> As for native builds: I guess I just didn't (want to) play
          with it yet.
        <pinotree> it is enabled in debian since quite some time, maybe other
          i386/i686 patches (done for linux) help us too
        <tschwinge> I though we first needed some CPU identification
          infrastructe before it can really work?
        <tschwinge> I thought [...].
        <pinotree> as in use the i686 variant as runtime automatically? i guess
          so
        <tschwinge> I thought I had some notes about that, but can't currently
          find them.
        <tschwinge> Ah, I probably have been thinking about open_issues/ifunc
          and open_issues/libc_variant_selection.

    Many are missing for GNU Hurd, some of which have been announced in
    [`NEWS`](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=NEWS), others
    typically haven't (like new flags to existing functions).  Typically,
    porters will notice missing functionaly.  But in case you're looking for
    something to work on, here's a bit of a commented list, otherwise go
    looking in `/usr/include/i386-gnu/gnu/stubs.h` on a Debian GNU/Hurd system,
    or the respective file from a fresh glibc build.

    `AT_EMPTY_PATH`, `CLOCK_BOOTTIME`, `CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM`,
    `CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM`, `O_PATH`, `O_TMPFILE`
    (ffdd31816a67f48697ea4d6b852e58d2886d42ca),
    `PTRACE_*` (for example, cbff0d9689c4d68578b6a4f0a17807232506ea27,

            <Steap> Does anyone have any idea why int main(void) { return
              chflags(); } will compile with gcc but not with g++ ? It says
              that "chflags" was not declared in this scope.
            <Steap> I get the same error on FreeBSD, but including sys/stat.h
              makes it work
            <Steap> Can't find a solution on Hurd though :/
            <youpi> the Hurd doesn't have chflags
            <youpi> apparently linux neither
            <youpi> what does it do?
            <Steap> change flags :)
            <Steap> Are you sure the Hurd does not have chflags ? Because gcc
              does not complain
            <youpi> there is no chflags function in /usr/include
            <youpi> but what flags does it change?
            <Steap> According to the FreeBSD manpage, it can set flags such as
              UF_NODUMP, UF_IMMUTABLE etc.
            <youpi> Hum, there is actually a chflags() definition
            <youpi> but no declaration
            <youpi> so actually chflags is supported, but the declaration was
              forgotten
            <youpi> probably because since linux doens't have it, it has never
              been a problem up to now
            <youpi> so I'd say ignore the error for now, we'll add the
              declaration

            <nalaginrut> is there any possible to have kquque/epoll alike
              things in hurd? or there is one?
            <braunr> nalaginrut: use select/poll
            <nalaginrut> is it possible to implement epoll?
            <braunr> it is
            <braunr> we don't care enough about it to do it
            <braunr> (for now)
            <nalaginrut> well, since I wrote a server with Guile, and it could
              take advantage of epoll, never mind, if there's no, it'll use
              select automatically
            <nalaginrut> but if someday someone care about it, I'll be
              interested on it
            <braunr> epoll is a scalability improvement over poll
            <braunr> the hurd being full of scalability issues, this one is
              clearly not a priority
            <nalaginrut> ok

        IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-09-26:

            <nalaginrut> if I want to have epoll/kqueue like things, where
              should it dwell? kernel or some libs?
            <braunr> libs
            <pinotree> userland
            <braunr> that would be a good project to work on, something i
              intended to do (so i can help) but it requires a lot of work
            <braunr> you basically need to add a way to explicitely install and
              remove polling requests (instead of the currently way that
              implicitely remove polling requests when select/poll returns)
            <braunr> while keeping the existing way working for some time
            <braunr> glibc implements select
            <braunr> the hurd io interface shows the select interface
            <braunr> servers such as pfinet/pflocal implement it
            <braunr> glibc implements the client-side of the call
            <nalaginrut> where's poll? since epoll just added edge-trigger in
              poll
            <braunr> both select and poll are implemented on top of the hurd io
              select call (which isn't exactly select)

            <desrt> also: do you know if hurd has a modern-day poll()
              replacement? ala epoll, kqueue, iocp, port_create(), etc?
            <pochu_> last thing I remember was that there was no epoll
              equivalent, but that was a few years ago :)
            <pochu_> braunr: ^
            * desrt is about to replace gmaincontext in glib with something
                more modern
            * desrt really very much wants not to have to write a poll()
                backend....
            <desrt> it seems that absolutely every system that i care about,
              except for hurd, has a new approach here :/
            <desrt> even illumos has solaris-style ports
            <azeem> desrt: I suggest you bring up the question on bug-hurd
            <azeem> the poll() system call there to satisfy POSIX, but there
              might be a better Hurd-specific thing you could use
            <azeem> is there*
            <desrt> that would be ideal
            <desrt> i have to assume that a system that passes to many messages
              has some other facilities :)
            <desrt> *so many
            <desrt> the question is if they work with fds....
            <desrt> bug-hurd doesn't seem like a good place to ask open-ended
              questions....
            <azeem> it's the main development lists, it's just old GNU naming
            <azeem> list*
            <desrt> k.  thanks.
            <azeem> bug-hurd@gnu.org is the address
            * desrt goes to bug... hurd
            <desrt> written.  thanks.
            <braunr> desrt: the hurd has only select/poll
            <braunr> it suffers from so many scalability issues there isn't
              much point providing one currently
            <braunr> we focus more on bug fixing and posix compliance right now
            <desrt> fair answer
            <braunr> you should want a poll-based backend
            <braunr> it's the most portable one, and doesn't suck as much as
              select
            <braunr> very easy to write
            <braunr> although, internally, our select/poll works just like a
              bare epoll
            <braunr> i.e. select requests are installed, the client waits for
              one or more messages, then uninstalls the requests

        IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2014-02-23:

            <desrt> brings me to another question i asked here recently that
              nobody had a great answer for: any plan to do kqueue?
            <braunr> not for now
            <braunr> i remember answering you about that
            <desrt> ah.  on IRC or the list?
            <braunr> that internally, our select/poll implementation works just
              like epoll
            <braunr> on irc
            <braunr> well "just like" is a bit far from the truth
            <desrt> well... poll() doesn't really work like epoll :p
            <braunr> internally, it does
            <braunr> even on linux
            <desrt> since both of us have to do the linear scan on the list
            <desrt> which is really the entire difference
            <braunr> that's the user interface part
            <braunr> i'm talking about the implementation
            <desrt> ya -- but it's the interface that makes it unscalable
            <braunr> i know
            <braunr> what i mean is
            <braunr> since the implementation already works like a more modern
              poll
            <braunr> we could in theory add such an interface
            <braunr> but epoll adds some complicated detail
            <desrt> you'll have to forgive me a bit -- i wasn't around from a
              time that i could imagine what a non-modern poll would look like
              inside of a kernel :)
            <braunr> what i mean with a modern poll is a scalable poll-like
              interface
            <braunr> epoll being the reference
            * desrt is not super-crazy about the epoll interface....
            <braunr> me neither
            <desrt> kevent() is amazing -- one syscall for everything you need
            <braunr> i don't know kqueue enough to talk about it
            <desrt> no need to do 100 epollctls when you have a whole batch of
              updates to do
            <desrt> there's two main differences
            <desrt> first is that instead of having a bunch of separate fds for
              things like inotify, timerfd, eventfd, signalfd, etc -- they're
              all built in as different 'filter' types
            <desrt> second is that instead of a separate epoll_ctl() call to
              update the list of monitored things, the kevent() call
              (epoll_wait() equivalent) takes two lists: one is the list of
              updates to make and the other is the list of events to
              return.... so you only do one syscall
            <braunr> well, again, that's the interface
            <braunr> internally, there still are updates and waits
            <braunr> and on a multiserver system like the hurd, this would mean
              one system call per update per fd
            <braunr> and then one per wait
            <desrt> on the implementation side, i think kqueue also has a nice
              feature: the kernel somehow has some magic that lets it post
              events to a userspace queue.... so if you're not making updates
              and you do a kevent() that would not block, you don't even enter
              the kernel
            <braunr> ok
            <desrt> hm.  that's an interesting point
            <desrt> "unix" as such is just another server for you guys, right?
            <braunr> no
            <braunr> that's a major difference between the hurd and other
              microkernel based systems
            <braunr> even multiserver ones like minix
            <braunr> we don't have a unix server
            <braunr> we don't have a vfs server or even an "fd server"
            <desrt> so mach knows about things like fds?
            <braunr> no
            <braunr> only glibc
            <desrt> oh.  weird!
            <braunr> yes
            <braunr> that's the hurd's magic :)
            <braunr> being so posix compliant despite how exotic it is
            <desrt> this starts to feel like msvcrt :p
            <braunr> maybe, i wouldn't know
            <braunr> windows is a hybrid after all
            <braunr> with multiple servers for its file system
            <braunr> so why not
            <braunr> anyway
            <desrt> so windows doesn't have fds in the kernel either... the C
              library runtime emulates them
            <braunr> mach has something close to file descriptors
            <desrt> which is fun when you get into dll hell -- sometimes you
              have multiple copies of the C library runtime in the same program
              -- and you have to take care not to use fds from one of them with
              th o ther one
            <braunr> yes ..
            <braunr> that, i knew :)
            <braunr> but back to the hurd
            <braunr> since fds are a glibc thing here, and because "files" can
              be implemented by multiple servers
            <braunr> (sockets actually most of the time with select/poll)
            <braunr> we have to make per fd requests
            <braunr> the implementation uses the "port set" kernel abstraction
            <desrt> right -- we could have different "fd" coming from different
              places
            <braunr> do you know what a mach port is ?
            <desrt> not even a little bit
            <braunr> hm
            <desrt> i think it's what a plane does when it goes really fast,
              right?
            <braunr> let's say it's a kernel message queue
            <braunr> no it's not a sonic boom
            <desrt> :)
            <braunr> ;p
            <braunr> so
            <braunr> ports are queues
            <desrt> (aside: i did briefly run into mach ports recently on macos
              where they modified their kqueue to support them...)
            <braunr> queues of RPC requests usually
            <desrt> (but i didn't use them or look into them at all)
            <braunr> they can be referenced through mach port names, which are
              integers much like file descriptors
            <braunr> they're also used for replies but, except for weird calls
              like select/poll, you don't need to know that :)
            <braunr> a port set is one object containing multiple ports
            <desrt> sounds like dbus :)
            <braunr> the point of a port set is to provide the ability to
              perform a single operation (wait for a message) on multiple ports
            <desrt> sounds like an epoll fd....
            <desrt> is the port set itself a port?
            <braunr> so, when a client calls select, it translates the list of
              fds into port names, creates reply ports for each of them, puts
              them into a port set, send one select request for each, and does
              one blocking wait on the port set
            <braunr> no, but you can wait for a message on a port set the same
              way you do on a port
            <braunr> and that's all it does
            <desrt> does that mean that you can you put a port set inside of
              another port set?
            <braunr> hm maybe
            <desrt> i guess in some way that doesn't actually make sense
            <braunr> i guess
            <desrt> because i assume that the message you sent to each port in
              your example is "tell me when you have some stuff"
            <braunr> yes
            <desrt> and you'd have to send an equivalent message to the port
              set.... and that just doesn't make sense
            <desrt> since it's not really a thing, per se
            <braunr> it would
            <braunr> insteaf of port -> port set, it would just be port -> port
              set -> port set
            <braunr> but we don't have any interface where an fd stands for a
              port set
            <braunr> what i'm trying to tell here is that
            <braunr> considering how it's done, you can easily see that there
              has to be non trivial communication
            <braunr> each with the cost of a system call
            <braunr> and not just any system call, a messaging one
            <braunr> mach is clearly not as good as l4 when it comes to that
            <desrt> hrmph
            <braunr> and the fact that most pollable fds are either unix or
              inet/inet6 sockets mean that there will be contention in the
              socket servers anyway
            <desrt> i've seen some of the crazy things you guys can do as a
              result of the way mach works and way that hurd uses it, in
              particular
            <desrt> normal users setting up little tcp/ip universes for
              themselves, and so on
            <braunr> yes :)
            <desrt> but i guess this all has a cost
            <braunr> the cost here comes more from the implementation than the
              added abstractions
            <braunr> mach provides async ipc, which can partially succeed
            <desrt> if i spin up a subhurd, it's using the same mach, right?
            <braunr> yes
            <desrt> that's neat
            <braunr> we tend to call them neighbour hurds because of that
            <braunr> i'm not sure it is
            <desrt> it puts it half way between linux containers and outright
              VMs
            <desrt> because you have a new kernel.... ish...
            <braunr> well, it is for the same reasons hypervisors are neat
            <desrt> but the kernel exists within this construct....
            <braunr> a new kernel ?
            <desrt> a new hurd
            <braunr> yes
            <desrt> but not a new mach
            <braunr> exactly
            <desrt> ya -- that's very cool
            <braunr> it's halfway between hypervisors and containers/jails
            <braunr> what matters is that we didn't need to write much code to
              make it work
            <braunr> and that the design naturally guarantees strong isolation
            <desrt> right.  that's what i'm getting at
            <braunr> unlike containers
            <desrt> it shows that the interaction between mach and these set of
              crazy things collectively referred to as the hurd is really
              proper
            <braunr> usually
            <braunr> sometimes i think it's not
            <braunr> but that's another story :)
            <desrt> don't worry -- you can fix it when you port to L4 ;)
            <braunr> eh, no :)
            <desrt> btw: is this fundamentally the same mach as darwin?
            <braunr> yes
            <desrt> so i guess there are multiple separate implementations of a
              standard set of interfaces?
            <braunr> ?
            * desrt has to assume that apple wouldn't be using GNU mach, for
                example...
            <braunr> no it's the same code base
            <braunr> they couldn't
            <braunr> but only because the forks have diverged a bit
            <desrt> ah
            <braunr> and they probably changed a lot of things in their virtual
              memory implementation
            <desrt> so i guess original mach was under some BSDish type thing
              and GNU mach forked from that and started adding GPL code?
            <braunr> something like that
            <desrt> makes sense
            <braunr> we have very few "non-standard" mach interfaces
            <braunr> but we now rely on them so we couldn't use another mach
              either
            <braunr> back to the select/poll stuff
            * desrt gets a lesson tonight :)
            <braunr> it costs, it's not scalable
            <braunr> but
            <braunr> we have scalability problems in our servers
            <braunr> they're old code, they use global locks
            <desrt> right.  this is the story i heard last time.
            <braunr> probably from me
            <braunr> poll works good enough for us right now
            <braunr> we're more interested in bug fixes than scalability
              currently
            <desrt> the reason this negative impacts me is because now i need
              to write a bunch more code ;p
            <braunr> i hope this changes but we still get weird errors that
              many applications don't expect and they react badly to those
            <braunr> well, poll really is the posix fallback
            <desrt> every other OS that we want to support has some sort of new
              scalable epoll-type interface or is Windows (which needs separate
              code anyway)
            <desrt> a very large number of them have kqueue... linux has
              epoll... solaris/illumos is the odd one out with this weird thing
              that's sort of like epoll
            <braunr> i would think you want a posix fallback for such a
              commonly used interface
            <braunr> hm
            <desrt> braunr: hurd is pretty much the only one that doesn't
              already have something better....
            <braunr> linux can be built without epoll
            <desrt> and the nice thing about all of these things is that every
              single one of them gives me an fd that can be polled when any
              event is ready
            <braunr> i don't see why anyone would do that, but it's a compile
              time option ;p
            <braunr> yes ...
            <braunr> we don't have xxxfd() :)
            <desrt> and we want to expose that fd on our API... so people can
              chain gmaincontext into other mainloops
            <braunr> that's expected
            <desrt> so for hurd this means that i will need to spin up a
              separate thread doing poll() and communicating back to the main
              thread when anything becomes ready
            <desrt> i was looking forward to not having to do that :)
            <braunr> it matches the unix "everything is a file" idea, and
              windows concept of "events"
            <braunr> i understand but again, it's a posix fallback
            <braunr> you probably want it anyway
            <desrt> probably
            <braunr> it could help new systems trying to be posix like
            <desrt> i honestly thought i'd get away with it, though
            <desrt> this is true...
            <desrt> CLOCK_MONOTONIC is an easy enough requirement to implement
              or fake.... "modern event polling framework" is another story...

        [[service_solahart_jakarta_selatan__082122541663/clock_gettime]].

            <braunr> yes, but again, we do have the underlying machinery to add
              it
            <desrt> i appreciate if your priorities are elsewhere ;)
            <braunr> it's just not worth the effort right now
            <braunr> although we do have performance and latency improvements
              in our patch queues currently
            <braunr> if our network stack gets replaced, it would become
              interesting
            <braunr> we need to improve posix compliance first
            <braunr> make more applications not choke on unecpected errors
            <braunr> and then we can think of improving scalability
            <desrt> +1 vote from me for implementing monotonic time :)
            <desrt> (and also pthread_condattr_setclock())
            <braunr> and we probably won't implement the epoll interface ;p
            <braunr> yes
            <desrt> it's worth noting that there is also a semi-widely
              available non-standard extension called
              pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np that you could implement
              instead
            <desrt> it takes a (relative) timeout instead of an absolute one --
              we can use that if it's available
            <braunr> desrt: why would you want relative timeouts ?
            <desrt> braunr: if you're willing to take the calculations into
              your own hands and you don't have another way to base it on
              monotonic time it starts to look like a good alternative
            <desrt> and indeed, this is the case on android and macos at least
            <braunr> hm
            <desrt> not great as a user-facing API of course.... due to the
              spurious wakeup possibility and need to retry
            <braunr> so it's non standard alternative to a monotonic clock ?
            <desrt> no -- these systems have monotonic clocks
            <desrt> what they lack is pthread_condattr_setclock()
            <braunr> oh right
            <desrt> which is documented in POSIX but labelled as 'optional'
            <braunr> so relative is implicitely monotonic
            <desrt> yes
            <desrt> i imagine it would be the same 'relative' you get as the
              timeout you pass to poll()
            <desrt> since basing anything like this on wallclock time is
              absolutely insane
            <desrt> (which is exactly why we refuse to use wallclock time on
              our timed waits)
            <braunr> sure
            <braunr> i'm surprised clock_monotonic is even optional in posix
              2008
            <braunr> but i guess that's to give some transition margin for
              small embedded systems
            <desrt> when you think about it, CLOCK_REALTIME really ought to
              have been the optional feature
            <desrt> monotonic time is so utterly basic
            <braunr> yes
            <braunr> and that's how it's normally implemented
            <braunr> kernels provide a monotonic clock, and realtime is merely
              shifted from it

            <pinotree> in glibc, we use the generic waitflags.h which, unlike
              linux's version, does not define WEXITED, WNOWAIT, WSTOPPED,
              WCONTINUED
            <pinotree> should the generic bits/waitflags.h define them anyway,
              since they are posix?
            <youpi> well, we'd have to implement them anyway
            <youpi> but otherwise, I'd say yes
            <pinotree> sure, but since glibc headers should expose at least
              everything declared by posix, i thought they should be defined
              anyway
            <youpi> that might bring bugs
            <youpi> some applications might be #ifdefing them
            <youpi> and break when they are defined but not working
            <pinotree> i guess they would define them to 0, andd having them to

            <gnu_srs> Hi, {get,set}sockopt is not supported on Hurd. This shows
              e.g. in the gnulib's test-{poll,select} code.
            <gnu_srs> Reading
              http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~fine/Tech/addrinuse.html there might
              be reasons _not_ to implement them, comments?
            <pinotree> uh? they are supported on hurd
            <gnu_srs> not  SO_REUSEPORT for setsockopt()
            <pinotree> that isn't the same as claiming "get/setsockopt is not
              supported on hurd"
            <pinotree> most probably that option is not implemented by the
              socket family you are using
            <gnu_srs> OK, some options like  SO_REUSEPORT then, more info in
              the link.
            <pinotree> note also SO_REUSEPORT is not posix
            <pinotree> and i don't see SO_REUSEPORT mentioned in the page you
              linked
            <gnu_srs> No, but SO_REUSEADDR

        IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-02-23

            <gnu_srs> as an example, the poll test code from gnulib fails due
              to that problem (and I've told you before)
            <pinotree> gnu_srs: what's the actual failure?
            <pinotree> can you provide a minimal test case showing the issue?
            <gnu_srs> pinotree: A smaller test program:
              http://paste.debian.net/237495/
            <pinotree> gnu_srs: setting SO_REUSEADDR before binding the socket
              works...
            <pinotree> and it seems it was a bug in the gnulib tests, see
              http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=6ed6dffbe79bcf95e2ed5593eee94ab32fcde3f4
            <gnu_srs> pinotree: You are right, still the code I pasted pass on
              Linux, not on Hurd.
            <pinotree> so?
            <pinotree> the code is wrong
            <pinotree> you cannot change what bind does after you have called
              it
            * pinotree → out
            <gnu_srs> so linux is buggy?
            <braunr> no, linux is more permissive
            <braunr> (at least, on this matter)

        Support for these functions within the Hurd threadvar environment has
        been added, but for multi-threaded applications ([[libpthread]]), it is
        a bit clunky: as a practical requirement, a thread's stack size always
        has to be equal to `PTHREAD_STACK_DEFAULT`, 2 MiB, and also has to be
        naturally aligned.  The idea is still to [[get rid of Hurd threadvars
        and replace them with TLS|t/tls-threadvar]].

        Aside from [[gccgo]], the following packages might make use of these
        functions, searching on <http://codesearch.debian.net/> for
        `\b(get|set|make|swap)context\s*\(` on 2013-05-18: boost1.49,
        chromium-browser, gtk-vnc, guile-1.8, iceape, icedove, iceweasel,
        libgc, libsigsegv, luatex, mono, nspr, pth, ruby1.8, texlive-bin, uim,
        and more.

            <pinotree> oh, and even ruby2.0 suffers because of fixed-stack
              threads
            <youpi> yes, we definitely need to finish fixing it
            <youpi> my current work is in our glibc repo, youpi/tls-threadvar
            <pinotree> | *** makecontext: a stack at 0xbc000 with size 0x40000
              is not usable with threadvars
            <pinotree> all 8 failing tests with that
            <youpi> maybe we can hand-disable the use of contexts in ruby for
              now?
            <pinotree> gg0: ↑ :)
            <gg0> after the pseudo-patch i RFCed, i don't deserve to say
              anything else about that :)
            <pinotree> i mean, feel free to investigate and "fix" ruby2.0 as
              above :)
            <gg0> eh maybe i'd just be able to hand-disable failing
              thread-related _tests_ :)
            <gg0> i'm still hoping some real developer picks and actually fixes
              it, seems it's not enough interesting though
            <azeem> 21:37 < youpi> yes, we definitely need to finish fixing it
            <gg0> afaiu youpi is working on threadvars-tls migration, which
              would mean fixing them all. i just meant fixing ruby, which would
              mean having puppet btw
            <youpi> gg0: "actually fixing" means fixing threadvars-tls
              migration
            <youpi> "just fixing" ruby can be done by simply disabling context
              use in ruby

        IRC, OFTC, #debian-hurd, 2013-09-10:

            <gg0> this one fixes make test by disabling context and giving more
              time to timing related tests http://paste.debian.net/plain/37977/
            <gg0> make test-all is another story
            <youpi> gg0: AIUI, the sleep part should get fixed by the next
              glibc upload, which will include the getclk patch
            <youpi> but the disabling context part could be good to submit to
              the debian ruby package, mentioning that this is a workaround for
              now
            <gg0> unfortunately still not enough, test-all still fails
            <youpi> does it make the package not build?
            <gg0> test-all is the second part of what we call tests
            <gg0> they build and package (they produce all ruby packages),
              after that they run debian/run-test-suites.bash which is make
              test + make test-all
            <gg0> well after or during the build doesn't matter, it's their
              testsuite
            <gg0> ok just failed:
            <gg0> TestBug4409#test_bug4409 = Illegal instruction
            <gg0> make: *** [yes-test-all] Error 132
            <gg0> what to do with Illegal instruction?
            <gg0> just found 2 words that make everybody shut up :p
            <pinotree> same as above: debug it
            <teythoon> gg0: have you confirmed that this is reproducible? I've
              once had a process die with SIGILL and it was not and I figured
              it might have been a (qemu?) glitch
            <gg0> seems i'm running tests which are disabled on _all_ archs,
              better so
            <gg0> well, this should be reproducible. i just got it on a qemu, i
              could try to reproduce it on real hardware but as just said, i
              was testing tests disabled by maintainer so completely useless
            <teythoon> gg0: yeah, I'm running all my hurd instances on qemu/kvm
              as well, I meant did you get this twice in a row?
            <gg0> to be honest i got another illegal instruction months ago but
              don't recall doing what
            <gg0> nope not twice, i've commented it out. then run the remaining
              and then found out i should not have done what i was doing
            <gg0> but i could try to reproduce it
            <gg0> ok now i recall i got it another one few hours ago on real
              hardware, from logs:
            <gg0> TestIO#test_copy_stream_socket = Illegal instruction
            <gg0> teythoon: on real hardware though
            <gg0> and this is the one i should debug once it finishes, still
              running

        IRC, OFTC, #debian-hurd, 2013-09-11:

            <gg0_> wrt ruby, i'd propose a patch that disables *context and
              comments out failed tests (a dozen). most of them are timing
              related, don't always fail
            <gg0_> if they failed gracefully, we could leave them enabled and
              just ignoring testsuite result, but most of them block testsuite
              run when fail
            <gg0_> anyone against? any better idea (and intention to implement
              it? :p)?
            <gg0_> youpi: is disabling some tests acceptable? ^
            <youpi> it'd be good to at least know what is failing
            <youpi> so as to know what impact hiding these failures will have
            <youpi> remember that hiding bugs usually means getting bitten by
              them even harder later :)
            <gg0_> many of them use pipes
            <gg0_> here the final list, see commented out ones
              http://paste.debian.net/plain/38426
            <gg0_> and as said some don't always fails
            <gg0_> test_copy_stream_socket uses a socket
            <youpi> note that we can still at least build packages with notest
            <youpi> at least to get the binaries uploaded
            <youpi> disabling *context should however really be done
            <youpi> and the pipe issues are concerning
            <youpi> I don't remember other pipe issues
            <youpi> so maybe it's a but in the ruby bindings
            <gg0_> i just remember they didn't die, then something unknown
              fixed it
            <youpi> I see something frightening in io.c
            <youpi> #if BSD_STDIO
            <youpi>          preserving_errno(fseeko(f, lseek(fileno(f),
              (off_t)0, SEEK_CUR), SEEK_SET));
            <youpi> #endif
            <youpi> this looks very much like a workaround for an odd thing in
              BSD
            <youpi> it happens that that gets enabled on hurd too, since
              __MACH__ is defined
            <youpi> you could try to drop these three lines, just to see
            <youpi> this is very probably very worth investigating, at any rate
            <youpi> even just test_gets_limit_extra_arg is a very simple test,
              that I fail to see why it should ever fail on hurd-i386
            <youpi> starting debugging it would be a matter of putting printfs
              in io.c, to check what gets called, with what parameters, etc.
            <youpi> just a matter of taking the time to do it, it's not very
              complex
            <gg0_> youpi: are you looking at 1.8? no BSD_STDIO here
            <youpi> yes, 1.8
            <gg0_> 1.9.3.448
            <gg0_> landed to sid few days ago
            <youpi> ah, I have 1.87
            <youpi> +.
            <gg0_> my favourites are TestIO#test_copy_stream_socket and

            <braunr> tschwinge: that's what i thought too about the assertion,
              which is why i find it strange
            <gg0> asserting it's not locked then locking it doesn't exclude
              race conditions

            <gg0> another assertion to remove?
            <youpi> gg0: it's not exactly the same: in hurd_thread_cancel we
              hold no lock at all at the assertion point
            <youpi> in jmp-unwind.c, we do hold a lock
            <youpi> and the assertion might be actually true because all other
              threads are supposed to hold the first lock before taking the
              other one
            <youpi> you could check for that in other places
            <youpi> and maybe it's the other place which wouldhave to be fixed
            <youpi> also look for documentation which would say that

              before taking the other one

            <braunr> it says there is a deadlock
            <braunr> ss->critical_section_lock must be taken before ss->lock
            <gg0> you mean ss->lock before ss->critical_section_lock
            <braunr> no
            <gg0> ah ok got it
            <braunr> that's a bug
            <braunr> longjmp
            <braunr> ugh
            <braunr> you could make a pass through the various uses of those
              locks and check what the intended locking protocol should be
            <braunr> i inferred ss->critical_section_lock before ss->lock from
              hurd_thread_cancel
            <braunr> this might be wrong too but considering this function is
              used a lot, i doubt it
            <gg0> (no, i hadn't got it, i was looking at jmp-unwind.c where
              lock is before critical_section_lock)
            <gg0> could we get useful info from gdb'ing the assertion?
            <tschwinge> gg0: Only if you first get an understanding why it is
              happening, what you expect to happen instead/why it shall not
              happen/etc.  Then you can perhaps use GDB to verify that.

            <youpi> gg0: it seems the assert (! __spin_lock_locked
              (&ss->critical_section_lock)); is bogus
            <youpi> but it'd be good to catch a call trace
            <youpi> well, it may not be bogus, in case that lock is only ever
              taken by the thread itself
            <youpi> in that case, inside longjmp_unwind we're not supposed to
              have it already
            <youpi> ok, that's what we had tried to discuss with Roland
            <youpi> it can happen when playing with thread cancelation
            <braunr> youpi: the assertion isn't exactly bogus
            <braunr> the lock ordering is
            <youpi> braunr: which one are you talking about?
            <youpi> the one in hurd_thread_cancel looks really wrong
            <youpi> and some parts of the code keep the critical section lock
              without ss->lock held, so I don't see how lock ordering can help

        IRC, OFTC, #debian-hurd, 2013-09-22:

            <gg0> how much does this patch suck on a scale from 1 to 10?
              http://paste.debian.net/plain/44810/
            <youpi> well, the stack allocation issue will go away once I get
              the threadvars away
            <youpi> I'm working on it right now
            <youpi> about the lib paths, it makes sense to add the gnu case,
              but i386-gnu shouldn't be put in the path
            <gg0> that's great
            <gg0> so seems the wrong moment for what i've already done
              ie. asking terceiro what he thinks about patch above :/
            <gg0> any distro-independent way to get libc.so and libm.so path?
            <gg0> ruby as last resource takes them from "ldd ruby"
            <pinotree> gg0: should work fine then
            <gg0> well it does. but gnu doesn't have a case so it hits default
              which is broken
              http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/repository/revisions/40235/entry/test/dl/test_base.rb
            <gg0> btw even linux and kfreebsd with debian multipath have broken
              cases but they don't hit default and get fixed by ldd later
            <pinotree> why it is broken? are arguments passed to that script?
            <gg0> i'm not sure about what propose. a broken case so it doesn't
              hit default like linux and kfbsd
            <gg0> yes they are :/
            <pinotree> and which ones are? who executes that script and which
              arguments does it pass to it?
            <gg0> other ruby scripts which have nothing to do with libc/libm
            <pinotree> well, if they pass arguments which should be the paths
              to libc and libm, they must be getting such paths, aren't they?
            <gg0> they don't. arguments are other ruby scripts, don't know why,
              maybe something else broken before
            <gg0> but that would mean that before there's a smarter path
              detection way, i doubt
            <pinotree> then add the case for hurd, but setting both libc and
              libm as nil
            <pinotree> so they will be fetched again
            <gg0> yep and would really ugly
            <gg0> +be
            <gg0> "please commit this one which wrongly sets paths."
            <gg0> an alternative would be removing default case
            <gg0> or pointing it out by proposing ldd in hurd case might make
              them review the whole detection
            <gg0> by setting correct paths like in patch above it wouldn't
              break a possible hurd-amd64, it would work due to ldd
            <youpi> gg0: that's why I said the patch is fine, but without the
              i386-gnu part of the path
            <youpi> just like it happens to be on linux & kfreebsd
            <gg0> i might take ldconfig -p output
            <gg0> to make it uselessly correct from start
            <gg0> http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8937
            <pinotree> note thar ruby 1.8 is EOL
            <pinotree> *that
            <gg0> -- If you're reporting a bug in both Ruby 1.9/2.0 and Ruby
              1.8: ruby-trunk, and write like "this bug can be reproduced in
              Ruby 1.8 as well." --
            <gg0> i suspect this one won't be the only one i'll file. unless
              upcoming youpi's tls and braunr's thread destruction patches fix
              all ruby tests
            <pinotree> did you check ruby2.0 too, btw?
            <gg0> switched to ruby2 few hours ago. i pointed out 2nd part of
              testsuite is not enabled, probably terceiro will enable it soon
            <gg0> by applying my patch above we'd completely fix current
              ruby2.0 build (yes because tests are not completely enabled)
            <pinotree> what you run those extra tests?
            <gg0>
              http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ruby1.9.1.git;a=blob;f=debian/run-test-suites.bash
            <gg0> make test + make test-all
            <gg0> (test-all is 2nd part)
            <gg0> many are problematic. i didn't finish yet to suppress them
              one-by-one. one i suppress, another one pops up
            <gg0> either get stuck or well known assertion
            <pinotree> check those that get stuck :)
            <gg0> which kind of check?
            <pinotree> "check" as in "debug"
            <gg0> btw i tested puppet few days ago (with ruby1.8), it seems to
              be working, at least at trasferring files from master
            <gg0> don't know about any advanced usage
            <pinotree> ruby 1.8 is going to die soon, so testing things against
              it is not totally useful
            <gg0> so you assume 1.8 is less broken than 1.9/2.0, right?
            <pinotree> no
            <gg0> i just can see it's been built without tests itself too
            <pinotree> erm no
            <gg0> well ok, if i can be wrong, i'll be wrong
            <gg0> i say that after a quick check time ago, might be wrong
            <pinotree> `getbuildlogs ruby1.8 last hurd-i386`, see the last
              build log
            <gg0> ah from pkg-kde-tools
            <gg0> i hate kde :)
            <pinotree> no?
            <gg0> no what?
            <pinotree> devscripts: /usr/bin/getbuildlog
            <gg0> pkg-kde-tools: /usr/bin/pkgkde-getbuildlogs
            <pinotree> which is not what i said
            <gg0> wait that's what apt-file found
            <gg0> maybe i should update it
            <gg0> is it so recent?
            <pinotree> no
            <pinotree> i just added an 's' more at the end of the command, but
              typing getbu<tab> could have been helpful anyway...
            <gg0> yeah just got it
            <gg0> my fault not to have tried to run it before looking for it
            <pinotree> and btw, i don't see what hating kde has to do with
              tools developed by qt/kde debian packagers
            <gg0> j/k i simply don't use kde, never used and apt-file search
              told me it was from pkg-kde-tools
            <gg0> btw build log says "make test" fails, doesn't even start. and
              its failure doesn't block the build
            <pinotree> exactly
            <gg0> s/make test/make test-all/
            <gg0> "make test" (aka "1st part" above) doesn't run. i guess it's
              missing in packaging

            <braunr> youpi: i mean the lock order where the assertion occurs is
              reserved compared to the one in hurd_thread_cancel
            <braunr> (and the one in hurd_thread_cancel is the same used in
              hurd condition-related functions)
            <youpi> "reserved" ?
            <braunr> reversed
            <braunr> :)
            <youpi> by "the assertion occurs", you mean gg0's spot?
            <braunr> yes
            <youpi> well , the assertion also happens in hurd_thread_cancel
            <braunr> it does oO
            <braunr> i didn't see that
            <youpi> but otherwise yes, it's completely bogus that we have both
              locking in different orders
            <youpi> could you submit the fix for jmp-unwind.c to upstream?
            <braunr> what fix ?
            <youpi> reversing the lock order
            <braunr> ah, simply that
            <youpi> (well, provided that hurd_thread_cancel is right)
            <braunr> that's what i suggested to gg0
            <braunr> to check where those locks are held and determine the
              right order

        IRC, OFTC, #debian-hurd, 2013-09-28:

            <gg0_> now we'd just need tls
            <gg0_> http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8937
            <gg0_> well, it would pass makecheck at least. makecheckall would
              keep hanging on threads/pipes tests i guess, unless tls/thread
              destruction patches fix them

        IRC, OFTC, #debian-hurd, 2013-10-05:

            <youpi> so what is missing for ruby2.0, only disabling use of
              context for now, no?
            <pinotree> i'm not tracking it closely, gg0_ is
            <gg0_> maybe terceiro would accept a patch which only disables
              *context, "maybe" because he rightly said changes must go
              upstream
            <gg0_> anyway with or without *context, many many tests in
              makecheckall fail by making it hang, first with and without
              assertion you removed, now they all simply hang
            <gg0_> youpi: what do we want to do? if you're about finishing tls
              migration (as i thought a couple of weeks ago), i won't propose
              anything upstream. otherwise i could but that will have to be
              reverted upstream once you finish
            <gg0_> about tests, current ruby2.0 doesn't run makecheckall, only
              makecheck which succeeds on hurd (w/o context)
            <gg0_> if anyone wants to give it a try:
              http://paste.debian.net/plain/51089
            <gg0_> first hunk makes makecheck (not makecheckall) succeed and
              has been upstreamed, not packaged yet
            <pinotree> what about makecheckall for ruby2.0?
            <gg0_> 16:58 < gg0_> anyway with or without *context, many many
              tests in makecheckall fail by making it hang, first with and
              without assertion you  removed, now they all simply hang
            <pinotree> i for a moment thought it as for 1.9.1, ok
            <pinotree> these hangs should be debugged, yes
            <gg0_> nope, tests behavior doesn't change between 1.9 and 2.0. i
              started suppressing tests onebyone on 2.0 as well and as happened
              on 1.9, i gave up cause there were too many
            <gg0_> yep a smart mind could start debugging them, starting from
              patch above pasted by a lazy one owner
            <gg0_> one problem is that one can't reproduce them by isolate
              them, they don't fail. start makecheckall then wait for one fail
            <gg0_> now after my stupid report, someone like pinotree could take
              it over, play with it for half an hour/an hour (which equals to
              half a gg0's year/a gg0's year
            <gg0_> )
            <gg0_> and fix them all

            <gg0_> 17:05 < gg0_> youpi: what do we want to do? if you're about
              finishing tls migration (as i thought a couple of weeks ago), i
              won't propose  anything upstream. otherwise i could but that will
              have to be reverted upstream once you finish
            <youpi> gg0_: I don't really know what to answer
            <youpi> that's why I didn't answer :)
            <gg0_> youpi: well then we could upstream context disable and keep
              it disabled even if you fix tls. ruby won't be as fast as it
              would be with context but i don't think anyone will complain
              about that. then once packaged, if terceiro doesn't enable
              makecheckall, we will have ruby2.0 in main
            <youpi> that can be a plan yes
            <gg0_> btw reverting it upstream should not be a problem eventually
            <youpi> sure, the thing is remembering to do it
            <gg0_> filed http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8990
            <gg0_> please don't fix tls too soon :)

            <gg0> anything useful?
            <youpi> uh, is that really all?

            <gg0> restarted testsuite
            <gg0> isn't it interesting that failed tests fail only if testsuite
              runs from beginning, whereas if run singularly, they succeed?
            <gg0> as it got out of whatever resources
            <gg0> youpi: http://paste.debian.net/plain/53798/
            <youpi> the interesting part is actually right at the top
            <youpi> it's indeed stuck in the critical section spinlock
            <youpi> question being what is keeping it
            <youpi> iirc I had already checked in the whole glibc code that all
              paths which lock  critical_section_lock actually release it in
              all cases, but maybe I have missed some
            <youpi> (I did find some missing paths, which I fixed)
            <gg0> i guess the same check you and braunr talk about in
              discussion just before this anchor
              http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/open_issues/glibc/#recvmmsg
            <youpi> yes, but the issue we were discussing there is not what
              happens here
            <youpi> we would see another thread stuck in the other way roudn,
              otherwise
            <gg0> no way to get what is locking?
            <youpi> no, that's not recorded
            <gg0> and what about writing it somewhere right after getting the
              lock?
            <youpi> one will have to do that in all spots taking that lock
            <youpi> but yes, that's the usual approach
            <gg0> i would give it try but eglibc rebuild takes too much time,
              that conflicts with my laziness
            <gg0> i read even making locks timed would help

        IRC, OFTC, #debian-hurd, 2013-10-09:

            <gg0> so correct order would be:
            <gg0> __spin_lock (&ss->lock); // locks sigstate
            <gg0> __spin_lock (&ss->critical_section_lock);
            <gg0> [do critical stuff]
            <gg0> __spin_unlock (&ss->critical_section_lock);
            <gg0> __spin_unlock (&ss->lock);  // unlocks sigstate
            <gg0> ?

            <gg0> 21:44 < gg0> terceiro: backported to 2.0 (backport to 1.9 is
              waiting) https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9000
            <gg0> 21:46 < gg0> that means that if you take a 2.0 snapshot,
              it'll build fine on hurd (unless you introduce maketestall as in
              1.9, that would make it get stuck like 1.9)
            <gg0> 21:48 < terceiro> gg0: nice
            <gg0> 21:48 < terceiro> I will try to upload a snapshot as soon as
              I can
            <gg0> 21:52 < gg0> no problem. you might break my "conditional
              satisfaction" by adding maketestall. better if you do that on
              next+1 upload so we'll have at least one 2.0 built :)

            <gg0> would it be a problem granting me access to a porter box to

            <gg0> i'm already doing it on another vm but host often loses power
            <pinotree> you cannot install random stuff on a porterbox though
            <gg0> i know i'd just need build-deps of eglibc+ruby2.0 i guess
            <gg0> (already accessed to porter machines in the past, account
              lele, mips iirc)
            <gg0> ldap should remember that

              former. ../sysdeps/mach/hurd/jmp-unwind.c:53 waits
            <braunr> 20:37 < braunr> gg0: does ruby create and destroy threads
              ?
            <gg0> no idea
            <gg0> braunr: days ago you and youpi talked about locking order
              (just before this anchor
              http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/open_issues/glibc/#recvmmsg)
            <braunr> oh right
            <gg0> <youpi> could you submit the fix for jmp-unwind.c to
              upstream?
            <braunr> it didn't made it in the todo list
            <gg0> so correct order is in hurd_thread_cancel, right?
            <braunr> sorry about that
            <braunr> we need to make a pass to make sure it is
            <gg0> that means locking first ss->critical_section_lock _then_
              ss->lock
            <gg0> correct?
            <braunr> but considering how critical hurd_thread_cancel is, i
              expect so

            <gg0> i get the same deadlock by swapping locks
            <gg0> braunr: youpi: fyi ^

            <braunr> gg0: ps -eflw
            <youpi> gg0: that's not surprising, since in the b acktrace you
              posted there isn't another thread locked in the other order
            <youpi> so it's really that somehow the thread is already in
              critical sesction
            <braunr> youpi: you mean there is ?
            <braunr> ah, it's not the same bug
            <youpi> no, in what he posted, no other thread is stuck 
            <youpi> so it's not a locking order
            <youpi> just that the critical section is actually busy
            <gg0> youpi: ack
            <gg0> braunr: what's the other bug? ext2fs one?
            <braunr> gg0: idk
            <gg0> braunr: thanks. doesn't show threads (found -T for that) but
              at least doesn't limit columns number if piped (thanks to -w)
            <braunr> it does

              atfork, whatever that means
            <gg0> it makes 2 forks: one sleeps for 1 sec then kills -USR1
              itself, the second traps USR1 in getting current time. in the
              meanwhile parent sleeps for 2 secs

            <gnu_srs1> Hi, is sigaltstack() really supported, even if it is
              defined as well as SA_ONSTACK?
            <braunr> probably not
            <braunr> well,
            <braunr> i don't know actually, mistaking with something else
            <braunr> it may be supported
            <pinotree> iirc no
            <gnu_srs1> pinotree: are you sure?
            <pinotree> this is what i remember
            <pinotree> if you want to be sure that $foo works, just do the
              usual way: test it yourself
            <gnu_srs1> found it: hurd/TODO: *** does sigaltstack/sigstack
              really work? -- NO
            <pinotree> well TODO is old and there were signal-related patches
              by jk in the meanwhile, although i don't think they would have
              changed this lack
            <pinotree> in any case, test it
            <gnu_srs1> anybody fluent in assembly? Looks like this code
              destroys the stack: http://paste.debian.net/54331/
            <braunr> gnu_srs1: why would it ?
            <braunr> it does something special with the stack pointer but it
              just looks like it aligns it to 16 bytes, maybe because of sse2
              restrictions (recent gcc align the stack already anyway)
            <gnu_srs1> Well, in that case it is the called function:
              http://paste.debian.net/54341/
            <braunr> how do you know there is a problem with the stack in the
              first place ?
            <gnu_srs1> tracing up to here, everything is OK. then esp and ebp
              are destroyed.
            <gnu_srs1> and single stepping goes backward until it segfaults
            <braunr> "destroyed" ?
            <gnu_srs1> zero if I remember correctly now. the x86 version built
              for is i586, should that be changed to i486?
            <braunr> this shouldn't change anything
            <braunr> and they shouldn't get to 0
            <braunr> use gdb to determine exactly which instruction resets the
              stack pointer
            <gnu_srs1> how to step into the assembly part? using 's' steps
              through the function since no line information:
            <gnu_srs1> Single stepping until exit from function
              wine_call_on_stack,
            <gnu_srs1> which has no line number information.
            <braunr> gnu_srs1: use break on the address
            <gnu_srs1> how do i get the address of where the assembly starts?

            <gnu_srs> I did not find any hurd related code in tschwinges

            <pinotree> you didn't check deep then...
            <gnu_srs> so why does socket/socketpair not return ENOSYS then?

            <gnu_srs> pinotree: please reply on the mailing list on the EINVAL

            <pinotree> gnu_srs: things were clear already...
            <gnu_srs> pinotree: I've read that patch and still pflocal/pf.c
              returns EPROTOTYPE not changed by the __socket wrapper in eglibc
            <pinotree> gnu_srs: what about realizing SOCK_CLOEXEC and friends
              are NOT posix?
            <gnu_srs> since socket/socketpair does not return EINVAL the dbus
              code has to be patched then?
            <pinotree> pflocal should never ever get such flags mixed to the
              protocol, so any invalid value of protocol correctly returns
              EPROTOTYPE
            <gnu_srs> this is the question I need answered: Which way to go?
            <pinotree> all of them
            <gnu_srs> ?
            <pinotree> - applications should not assume that because you have
              accept4 (which is not posix) then SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK
              (flags for it) are usable to socket and socketpair
            <pinotree> - glibc should (as the idea of my patch) handle
              implementations providing SOCK_* but not supporting them for
              socket/socketpair
            <pinotree> - finally the hurd part of glibc could implement them
            <gnu_srs> to conclude: should I send a bug report for dbus then?
            <gnu_srs> pinotree: yes or no?
            <pinotree> gnu_srs: *shrug* i wrote it above, so an *upstream*
              report (not a debian one)

        IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-09-06:

            <gnu_srs> I've found another error code issue, now in  glib2.0 (and
              dbus). Are you really sure the error code 
            <gnu_srs> for protocol of pflocal/pf.c should be
              EPROTONOSUPPORT. The code expects EINVAL for a protocol with
            <gnu_srs>  SOCK_CLOEXEC, which is a flag. Maybe pf.c should add
              this case and return EINVAL instead of 
            <gnu_srs> submitting bug reports upstream. Yes, I know this is not
              POSIX, but it is defined for Hurd too, 
            <gnu_srs> currently only supported for accept4, not socket or
              socketpair. 
            <pinotree> gnu_srs: no, and i explained already why it is wrong
              this way
            <pinotree> pflocal shouldn't even get such flags
            <pinotree> (pflocal or any other server implementing socket_create)
            <gnu_srs> (20:19:35) pinotree: pflocal shouldn't even get such
              flags
            <gnu_srs> then the glibc wrapper code is missing to catch this
              flag:(
            <gnu_srs> youpi: ?
            <pinotree> gnu_srs: because, as told many times, socket and
              socketpair do not support such flags
            <pinotree> given they don't do, they filter nothing
            <pinotree> and no, you need to file bugs upstream, since having
              SOCK_* and accept4 does not imply at all that socket and
              socketpair support them

            <gnu_srs> for dbus2.0 I found out that the third SOCK_CLOEXEC case
              needs a patch too (more working tests),
            <gnu_srs> the updated patch is at http://paste.debian.net/37948/ if
              you have the time, otherwise I'll do it.
            <pinotree> gnu_srs: which is what i wrote in my bug report...
            <gnu_srs> Yes you wrote that, but the patch is not updated yet?
            <pinotree> it refers to a different socket access, recently added,
              which is not used by default
            <gnu_srs> I got two more tests running when adding that patch:-/
            <pinotree> tests of what?

            <sjamaan> It doesn't seem to work here, but perhaps I'm missing
              something (I'm using the prebuilt Debian/Hurd 2014-02-11 VM

            <sjamaan> braunr: I am working on a release of the CHICKEN Scheme
              compiler. Its test suite is currently failing on the stand-alone
              deployment tests.  Either it should work and use $ORIGIN, or the
              test should be disabled, saying Hurd is not supported for
              stand-alone deployment-directories
            <sjamaan> braunr: The basic idea is to be able to create "appdirs"
              like on OS X or PC-BSD, containing all the dependencies a program
              needs, which can then simply be untarred
            <braunr> sjamaan: ok so you do need $ORIGIN

            <sjamaan> iiuc, so does Java.  Does Java work on Hurd?

              there at the time and i'm not sure
            <sjamaan> So it's safest to claim it's unsupported, for now?

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-08-21:

        <braunr> pinotree: i think gnu_srs spotted a conformance problem in
          glibc
        <pinotree> (only one?)
        <braunr> pinotree: namely, fsync on a pipe (which is actually a
          socketpair) doesn't return EINVAL when the "operation not supported"
          error is returned as a "bad request message ID"
        <braunr> pinotree: what do you think of this case ?
        <pinotree> i'm far from an expert on such stuff, but seems a proper E*
          should be returned
        <braunr> (there also is a problem in clisp falling in an infinite loop
          when trying to handle this, since it uses fsync inside the error
          handling code, eww, but we don't care :p)
        <braunr> basically, here is what clisp does
        <braunr> if fsync fails, and the error isn't EINVAL, let's report the
          error
        <braunr> and reporting the error in turn writes something on the
          output/error stream, which in turn calls fsync again
        <pinotree> smart
        <braunr> after the stack is exhausted, clisp happily crashes
        <braunr> gnu_srs: i'll alter the clisp code a bit so it knows about our
          mig specific error
        <braunr> if that's the problem (which i strongly suspect), the solution
          will be to add an error conversion for fsync so that it returns
          EINVAL
        <braunr> if pinotree is willing to do that, he'll be the only one
          suffering from the dangers of sending stuff to the glibc maintainers
          :p
        <pinotree> that shouldn't be an issue i think, there are other glibc
          hurd implementations that do such checks
        <gnu_srs> does fsync return EINVAL for other OSes?
        <braunr>        EROFS, EINVAL
        <braunr>               fd is bound to a special file which does not
          support synchronization.
        <braunr> obviously, pipes and sockets don't
        <pinotree>
          http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fsync.html
        <braunr> so yes, other OSes do just that
        <pinotree> now that you speak about it, it could be the failure that
          the gnulib fsync+fdatasync testcase have when being run with `make
          check` (although not when running as ./test-foo)
        <braunr> hm we may not need change glibc
        <braunr> clisp has a part where it defines a macro IS_EINVAL which is
          system specific
        <braunr> (but we should change it in glibc for conformance anyway)
        <braunr> #elif defined(UNIX_DARWIN) || defined(UNIX_FREEBSD) ||
          defined(UNIX_NETBSD) || defined(UNIX_OPENBSD) #define IS_EINVAL_EXTRA
          ((errno==EOPNOTSUPP)||(errno==ENOTSUP)||(errno==ENODEV))
        <pinotree> i'd rather add nothing to clisp
        <braunr> let's see what posix says
        <braunr> EINVAL
        <braunr> so right, we should simply convert it in glibc
        <gnu_srs> man fsync mentions EINVAL
        <braunr> man pages aren't posix, even if they are usually close
        <gnu_srs> aha
        <pinotree> i think checking for MIG_BAD_ID and EOPNOTSUPP (like other
          parts do) will b enough
        <pinotree> *be
        <braunr> gnu_srs: there, it finished correctly even when piped
        <gnu_srs> I saw that, congrats!
        <braunr> clisp is quite tricky to debug
        <braunr> i never had to deal with a program that installs break points
          and handles segfaults itself in order to implement growing stacks :p
        <braunr> i suppose most interpreters do that
        <gnu_srs> So the permanent change will be in glibc, not clisp?
        <braunr> yes

        <gnu_srs1> pinotree: The changes needed for fsync.c is at
          http://paste.debian.net/185379/ if you want to try it out (confirmed
          with rbraun)
        <youpi> I agree with the patch, posix indeed documents einval as the
          "proper"  error value
        <pinotree> there's fdatasync too
        <pinotree> other places use MIG_BAD_ID instead of EMIG_BAD_ID
        <braunr> pinotree: i assume that if you're telling us, it's because
          they have different values
        <pinotree> braunr: tbh i never seen the E version, and everywhere in
          glibc the non-E version is used
        <gnu_srs1> in sysdeps/mach/hurd/bits/errno.h only the E version is
          defined
        <pinotree> look in gnumach/include/mach/mig_errors.h
        <pinotree> (as the comment in errno.h say)
        <gnu_srs1> mig_errors.h yes. Which comment: from errors.h: /* Errors
          from <mach/mig_errors.h>.  */ and then the EMIG_ stuff?
        <gnu_srs1> Which one is used when building libc?
        <gnu_srs1> Answer: At least in fsync.c errno.h is used: #include
          <errno.h>
        <gnu_srs1> Yes, fdatasync.c should be patched too.
        <gnu_srs1> pinotree: You are right: EMIG_ or MIG_ is confusing.

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-09-02:

        <antrik> braunr: regarding fsync(), I agree that EOPNOTSUPP probably
          should be translated to EINVAL, if that's what POSIX says. it does
          *not* sound right to translate MIG_BAD_ID though. the server should
          explicitly return EOPNOTSUPP, and that's what the default trivfs stub
          does. if you actually do see MIG_BAD_ID, there must be some other
          bug...
        <braunr> antrik: right, pflocal doesn't call the trivfs stub for socket
          objects
        <braunr> trivfs_demuxer is only called by the pflocal node demuxer, for
          socket objects it's another call, and i don't think it's the right
          thing to call trivfs_demuxer there either
        <pinotree> handling MAG_BAD_ID isn't a bad idea anyway, you never know
          what the underlying server actually implements
        <pinotree> (imho)
        <braunr> for me, a bad id is the same as a not supported operation
        <pinotree> ditto
        <pinotree> from fsync's POV, both the results are the same anyway, ie
          that the server does not support a file_sync operation
        <antrik> no, a bad ID means the server doesn't implement the protocol
          (or not properly at least)
        <antrik> it's usually a bug IMHO
        <antrik> there is a reason we have EOPNOTSUPP for operations that are
          part of a protocol but not implemented by a particular server
        <pinotree> antrik: even if it could be the case, there's no reason to
          make fsync fail anyway
        <antrik> pinotree: I think there is. it indicates a bug, which should
          not be hidden
        <pinotree> well, patches welcome then...
        <antrik> thing is, if sock objects are actually not supposed to
          implement the file interface, glibc shouldn't even *try* to call
          fsync on them
        <pinotree> how?
        <pinotree> i mean, can you check whether the file interface is not
          implemented, without doing a roundtrip^
        <pinotree> ?
        <antrik> well, the sock objects are not files, i.e. they were *not*
          obtained by file_name_lookup(), but rather a specific call. so glibc
          actually *knows* that they are not files.
        <braunr> antrik: this way of thinking means we need an "fd" protocol
        <braunr> so that objects accessed through a file descriptor implement
          all fd calls
        <antrik> now I wonder though whether there are conceivable use cases
          where it would make sense for objects obtained through the socket
          call to optionally implement the file interface...
        <antrik> which could actually make sense, if libc lets through other
          file calls as well (which I guess it does, if the sock ports are
          wrapped in normal fd structures?)
        <braunr> antrik: they are
        <braunr> and i'd personally be in favor of such an fd protocol, even if
          it means implementing stubs for many useless calls
        <braunr> but the way things are now suggest a bad id really means an
          operation is simply not supported
        <antrik> the question in this case is whether we should make the file
          protocol mandatory for anything that can end up in an FD; or whether
          we should keep it optional, and add the MIG_BAD_ID calls to *all* FD
          operations
        <antrik> (there is no reason for fsync to be special in this regard)
        <braunr> yes
        <antrik> braunr: BTW, I'm rather undecided whether the right approach
          is a) requiring an FD interface collection, b) always checking
          MIG_BAD_ID, or perhaps c) think about introducing a mechanism to
          explicitly query supported interfaces...

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-09-03:

        <braunr> antrik: querying interfaces sounds like an additional penalty
          on performance
        <antrik> braunr: the query usually has to be done only once. in fact it
          could be integrated into the name lookup...
        <braunr> antrik: once for every object
        <braunr> antrik: yes, along with the lookup would be a nice thing

        <youpi> yet another reason to build libpthread in glibc, btw
        <youpi> oh, but we do provide lockfile in libpthread, don't we ?
        <youpi> pinotree: yes, and libc has weak variants, so the libpthread
          will take over
        <pinotree> youpi: sure, but that in stuff linking to pthreads
        <pinotree> if you do a simple application doing eg main() { fopen +

        <youpi> ?
        <pinotree> basically, i was debugging why glibc tests with mtrace() and
          ending with muntrace() would die (while tests without muntrace call
          wouldn't)
        <youpi> well, I still don't see what a lock will bring
        <pinotree> if you look at the muntrace implementation (in
          malloc/mtrace.c), basically fclose can trigger a malloc hook (because
          of the free for the FILE*)
        <youpi> either you have threads, and it's need, or you don't, and it's
          a nop
        <youpi> yes, and ?
        <braunr> does the signal thread count ?
        <youpi> again, in linux, when you don't have threads, the lock is a nop
        <youpi> does the signal thread use IO ?
        <braunr> that's the question :)
        <braunr> i hope not
        <youpi> IIRC the signal thread just manages signals, and doesn't
          execute the handler itself
        <braunr> sure
        <braunr> i was more thinking about debug stuff
        <youpi> can't hurt to add them anyway, but let me still doubt that it'd
          fix muntrace, I don't see why it would, unless you have threads
        <pinotree> that's what i'm going next
        <pinotree> pardon, it seems i got confused a bit
        <pinotree> it'd look like a genuine muntrace bug (muntrace → fclose →
          free hook → lock lock → fprint (since the FILE is still set) → malloc
          → malloc hook → lock lock → spin)
        <pinotree> at least i got some light over the flockfile stuff, thanks
          ;)
        <pinotree> youpi: otoh, __libc_lock_lock (etc) are noop in the base
          implementation, while doing real locks on hurd in any case, and on
          linux only if nptl is loaded, it seems
        <pinotree> that would explain why on linux you get no deadlock
        <youpi> unless using nptl, that is?
        <pinotree> hm no, even with pthread it works
        <pinotree> but hey, at least the affected glibc test now passes
        <pinotree> will maybe try to do investigation on why it works on linux
          tomorrow

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-01-21

        <braunr> ah, found something interesting
        <braunr> tschwinge: there seems to be a race on our file descriptors
        <braunr> the content written by one thread seems to be retained
          somewhere and another thread writing data to the file descriptor will
          resend what the first already did
        <braunr> it could be a FILE race instead of fd one though
        <braunr> yes, it's not at the fd level, it's above
        <braunr> so good news, seems like the low level message/signalling code
          isn't faulty here
        <braunr> all right, simple explanation: our IO_lockfile functions are
          no-ops
        <pinotree> braunr: i found that out days ago, and samuel said they were
          okay
        <braunr> well, they're not no-ops in libpthreads
        <braunr> so i suppose they replace the default libc stubs, yes
        <pinotree> so the issue happens in cthreads-using apps?
        <braunr> no
        <braunr> we don't have cthreads apps any more
        <braunr> and aiui, libpthreads provides cthreads compatibility calls to
          libc, so everything is actually using pthreads
        <braunr> more buffer management debugging needed :/
        <pinotree> hm, so how can it be that there's a multithread app with no
          libpthread-provided file locking?
        <braunr> ?
        <braunr> file locking looks fine
        <braunr> hm, the recursive locking might be wrong though
        <braunr> ./sysdeps/mach/hurd/bits/libc-lock.h:#define
          __libc_lock_owner_self() ((void *) __hurd_threadvar_location (0))
        <braunr> nop, looks fine too
        <braunr> indeed, without stream buffering, the problem seems to go away
        <braunr> pinotree: it really looks like the stub IO_flockfile is used
        <braunr> i'll try to make sure it's the root of the problem
        <pinotree> braunr: you earlier said that there's some race with
          different threads, no?
        <braunr> yes
        <braunr> either a race or an error in the iostream management code
        <braunr> but i highly doubt the latter
        <pinotree> if the stub locks are used, then libpthread is not
          loaded... so which different threads are running?
        <braunr> that's the thing
        <braunr> the libpthread versions should be used
        <pinotree> so the application is linked to pthread?
        <braunr> yes
        <pinotree> i see, that was the detail i was missing earlier
        <braunr> the common code looks fine, but i can see wrong values even
          there
        <braunr> e.g. when vfprintf calls write, the buffer is already wrong
        <braunr> i've made similar tests on linux sid, and it behaves as it
          should
        <pinotree> hm
        <braunr> i even used load to "slow down" my test program so that
          preemption is much more likely to happen
        <pinotree> note we have slightly different behaviour in glibc's libio,
          ie different memory allocation ways (mmap on linux, malloc for us)
        <braunr> the problem gets systematic on the hurd while it never occurs
          on linux
        <braunr> that shouldn't matter either
        <pinotree> ok
        <braunr> but i'll make sure it doesn't anyway
        <braunr> this mach_print system call is proving very handy :)
        <braunr> and also, with load, unbuffered output is always correct too
        <pinotree> braunr: you could try the following hack
          http://paste.debian.net/227106/
        <braunr> what does it do ?
        <pinotree> (yes, ugly as f**k)
        <braunr> does it force libio to use mmap ?
        <braunr> or rather, enable ?
        <pinotree> provides a EXEC_PAGESIZE define in libio, so it makes it use
          mmap (like on linux) instead of malloc

  * <a id=t_pagesize>`t/pagesize`.</a>

        <braunr> yes, the stub is used instead of the libpthreads code
        <braunr> tschwinge: ^
        <braunr> i'll override those to check that it fixes the problem
        <braunr> hm, not that easy actually
        <pinotree> copy their files from libpthreads to sysdeps/mach/hurd
        <pinotree> hm right, in libpthread they are not that split as in glibc
        <braunr> let's check symbol declaration to understand why the stubs
          aren't overriden by ld
        <braunr> _IO_vfprintf correctly calls @plt versions
        <braunr> i don't know enough about dynamic linking to see what causes
          the problem :/
        <braunr> youpi: it seems our stdio functions use the stub IO_flockfile
          functions
        <youpi> really? I thought we were going through cthreads-compat.c
        <braunr> yes really
        <braunr> i don't know why, but that's the origin of the "duplicated"
          messages issue
        <braunr> messages aren't duplicated, there is a race that makes on
          thread reuse the content of the stream buffer
        <braunr> one*
        <youpi> k, quite bad
        <braunr> at least we know where the problem comes from now
        <braunr> youpi: what would be the most likely reason why weak symbols
          in libc wouldn't be overriden by global ones from libpthread ?
        <youpi> being loaded after libc
        <braunr> i tried preloading it
        <braunr> i'll compare with what is done on wheezy
        <youpi> you have the local-dl-dynamic-weak.diff patch, right?
        <braunr> (on squeeze, the _IO_flockfile function in libc seems to do
          real work unlike our noop stub)
        <braunr> it's the debian package, i have all patches provided there
        <braunr> indeed, on linux, libc provides valid IO_flock functions
        <braunr> ./sysdeps/pthread/flockfile.c:strong_alias (__flockfile,
          _IO_flockfile)
        <braunr> that's how ntpl exports it
        <braunr> nptl*
        <pinotree> imho we should restructure libpthread to be more close to
          nptl
        <braunr> i wish i knew what it involves
        <pinotree> file structing for sources and tests, for example
        <braunr> well yes obviously :)
        <braunr> i've just found a patch that does exactly that for linuxthreads
        <pinotree> that = fix the file locking?
        <braunr> in addition to linuxthreads/lockfile.c (which we also
          equivalently provide), there is
          linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/flockfile.c
        <braunr> no, restructiring
        <braunr> restructuring*
        <braunr> i still have only a very limited idea of how the glibc sources
          are organized
        <pinotree> the latter is used as source file when compiling flockfile.c
          in stdio-common
        <braunr> shouldn't we provide one too ?
        <pinotree> that would mean it would be compiled as part of libc proper,
          not libpthread
        <braunr> yes
        <braunr> that's what both linuxthreads and nptl seem to do
        <braunr> and the code is strictly the same, i.e. a call to the internal
          _IO_lock_xxx functions
        <youpi> I guess that's for the hot-dlopen case
        <youpi> you need to have locks properly taken at dlopen time
        <braunr> youpi: do you mean adding an flockfile.c file to our sysdeps
          will only solve the problem by side effect ?
        <braunr> and that the real problem is that the libpthread versions
          aren't used ?
        <youpi>  yes
        <braunr> ok
        <braunr> youpi: could it simply be a versioning issue ?
        <youpi> could be
        <braunr> it seems so
        <braunr> i've rebuilt with the flockfile functions versioned to 2.2.6
          (same as in libc) and the cthreads_compat functions are now used
        <braunr> and the problem doesn't occur any more with my test code
        <braunr> :)
        <youpi> could you post a patch?
        <braunr> i need a few info before
        <youpi> it'd be good to check which such functions are hooked
        <braunr> i suppose the version for functions declared in libpthreads
          shouldn't change, right ?
        <youpi> yes
        <braunr> ok
        <youpi> they didn't have a vresion before
        <braunr> shall i commit directly ?
        <youpi> so it should be fine
        <braunr> well, they did
        <braunr> 2.12
        <youpi> yes, but please tell me when it's done
        <braunr> sure
        <youpi> so I can commit that to debian's eglibc
        <youpi> I mean, before we integrated libpthread build into glibc
        <youpi> so they never had any version before 2.12
        <braunr> ok
        <youpi> basically we need to check the symbols which are both in
          libpthread and referenced in libc
        <youpi> to make sure they have the same version in the reference
        <braunr> ok
        <youpi> only weak references need to be checked, others would have
          produced a runtime error
        <braunr> youpi: done
        <braunr> arg, the version i mention in the comment is wrong
        <braunr> i suppose people understand nonetheless
        <youpi> probably, yes
        <braunr> ah, i can now appreciate the headache this bug hunting gave me
          these last days :)

        <pinotree> tschwinge: somehow related to your t/pagesize branch: due to
          the fact that EXEC_PAGESIZE is not defined on hurd, libio/libioP.h
          switches the allocation modes from mmap to malloc

    [[!message-id "87mxd9hl2n.fsf@kepler.schwinge.homeip.net"]].

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-01-21

        <braunr> why is it a hack ?
        <pinotree> because most probably glibc shouldn't rely on EXEC_PAGESIZE
          like that
        <braunr> ah
        <pinotree> there's a mail from roland, replying to thomas about this
          issue, that this use of EXEC_PAGESIZE to enable mmap or not is just
          wrong
        <braunr> ok
        <pinotree> (the above is
          http://thread.gmane.org/87mxd9hl2n.fsf@kepler.schwinge.homeip.net )
        <braunr> thanks
        <pinotree> (just added the reference to that in the wiki)
        <braunr> pinotree: btw, what's wrong with using malloc instead of mmap
          in libio ?
        <pinotree> braunr: i'm still not totally sure, most probably it should
          be slightly slower currently
        <braunr> locking contention ?
        <braunr> pinotree:
          http://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2006-11/msg00061.html
        <braunr> pinotree: it looks to me there is now no valid reason not to
          use malloc
        <braunr> the best argument for mmap is that libio requires zeroed
          memory, but as the OP says, zeroing a page is usually more expensive
          than a small calloc (even on kernel that keep a list of zeroed pages
          for quick allocations, frequent mmaps() often make this list empty)
        <pinotree> braunr: mmap allocations in libio are rounded to the page
          size
        <braunr> well they have to

    IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-10-02:

        <braunr> i've traced the problem up to truncate
        <braunr> which gets a negative size
        <braunr> shouldn't take long to find out where it comes from now
        <pinotree> it seems our truncate doesn't handle negative values well though
        <braunr>        EINVAL The argument length is negative or larger than the
          maximum file size.
        <braunr> i still have to see whether it comes from the user (unlikely) or
          if it's an internal inconsistency
        <braunr> i suspect some code wrongly handles vm_map failures
        <braunr> leading to that inconsistency
        <braunr> pinotree: looks like glibc doesn't check for length >= 0
        <pinotree> yeah
        <braunr> servers should do it nonetheless
        <pinotree> should we fix glibc, libdiskfs/libnetfs/libtrivfs/etc, or both?
        <braunr> it appears a client does the truncate
        <braunr> i'd say both

# Install

    [...]

This takes up around 100 MiB, and needs roughly X min on kepler.SCHWINGE and 16
min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.


## Analysis

    $ toolchain/logs/process glibc install fetch coulomb.SCHWINGE

TODO.


# Testsuite

    $ make -k install_root=/INVALID check fast-check=yes 2>&1 | tee log_test
    [...]

This needs roughly X min on kepler.SCHWINGE and 130 min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.

Specifying `fast-check=yes` disables the `conformtest` which takes 1.75 h (out
of 2.75 h total) on coulomb.SCHWINGE, doesn't pass anyway, and clearly isn't
our most critical issue to solve.
`elf/tst-xmmymm.out` is another candidate to disable: needs 90 min to run.

            <pinotree> do you have its output?
            <youpi> well it's very simple
            <youpi> I have the noatime option on / :)
            <pinotree> oh
            <youpi> fortunately fsysopts works :)
            <pinotree> the test checks whether ST_NOATIME is in the mount
              options, maybe it would be a good idea to provide it
            <youpi> yes
            <pinotree> unfortunately it isn't in posix, so i'm not sure whether
              adding it to the general bits/statvfs.h would be welcome
            <pinotree> or whether we should fork it, like it is done for linux

  * `dlfcn/bug-atexit3.out`

    Originally:

        dlopen failed: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    See [[!message-id "20090420002344.11798.qmail@s461.sureserver.com"]].
    Hacked around with `ln -s /usr/lib/i386-*gnu/libstdc++.so.6
    /lib/i386-*gnu/libpthread-stubs.so.0 /lib/i386-*gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 ./`.
    This is a bug in the glibc test harness.  Should probably use some
    `configure` magic akin to the `fixincludes` stuff (`gcc-4.4
    -print-file-name=libstdc++.so.6`, etc.).

    Even if that that is being worked around, the tests nowadays
    ([[packaging_libpthread]]) fail with:

        dlopen failed: [...]/libc.so.0.3: version `GLIBC_2.13_DEBIAN_31' not found (required by [...]/libstdc++.so.6)

  * `dlfcn/tststatic.out`, `dlfcn/tststatic2.out`, `dlfcn/tststatic3.out`,
    `dlfcn/tststatic4.out`, `dlfcn/tststatic5.out`

    SIGSEGV.

    `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` doesn't contain the `mach` and `hurd` directories; yet
    the test shouldn't just SIGSEGV.

  * `dirent/opendir-tst1.out`, `dirent/tst-fdopendir2.out`

    `dirent/opendir-tst1.out`:

        `opendir' succeeded on a FIFO???

    `dirent/tst-fdopendir2.out`:

        fdopendir with normal file descriptor did not fail

    `opendir` and `fdopendir` do not return `ENOTDIR` if `fd` is not a
    directory.

  * `posix/tst-waitid.out`

    Intermittent.

        SIGCHLD for stopped status 0
        SIGCHLD for stopped pid -1
        SIGCHLD for killed code 1
        SIGCHLD for killed status 0
        SIGCHLD for killed pid -1

  * `posix/bug-glob2.out`

    Intermittent.

        Timed out: killed the child process

  * `posix/annexc.out`

    Failure ignored by the glibc testsuite.

  * `posix/tst-getconf.out`

    Ends with:

        getconf POSIX_ALLOC_SIZE_MIN /: [...]/posix/getconf: pathconf: /: Invalid argument

    It fails because of unimplemented pathconf cases: `_PC_ALLOC_SIZE_MIN`,
    `_PC_REC_INCR_XFER_SIZE`, `_PC_REC_MAX_XFER_SIZE`, `_PC_REC_MIN_XFER_SIZE`,
    `_PC_REC_XFER_ALIGN`, `_PC_SYMLINK_MAX`, `_PC_2_SYMLINKS`.

    `_CS_GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION` is provided by libpthread when compiled as
    add-on.

    Looking into `localedata/bug-setlocale1.c`, it is clear what it going on:
    only the root of the build directory is added for `--library-path`, but
    none of the other directories that are additionally used.  This is a bug in
    the glibc test harness.  Hacked around by `ln -s mach/libmachuser.so.1
