Version 2.37
Major new features:
* The getent tool now supports the --no-addrconfig option. The output of
getent with --no-addrconfig may contain addresses of families not
configured on the current host i.e. as-if you had not passed
AI_ADDRCONFIG to getaddrinfo calls.
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* The dynamic linker no longer loads shared objects from the "tls"
subdirectories on the library search path or the subdirectory that
corresponds to the AT_PLATFORM system name, or employs the legacy AT_HWCAP
search mechanism, which was deprecated in version 2.33.
* Building on LoongArch requires at a minimum binutils 2.41 for vector
instructions.
Security related changes:
CVE-2022-39046: When the syslog function is passed a crafted input
string larger than 1024 bytes, it reads uninitialized memory from the

Version 2.36
Major new features:
* Support for DT_RELR relative relocation format has been added to
glibc. This is a new ELF dynamic tag that improves the size of
relative relocations in shared object files and position independent
executables (PIE). DT_RELR generation requires linker support for
-z pack-relative-relocs option, which is supported for some targets
in recent binutils versions. Lazy binding doesn't apply to DT_RELR.
* On Linux, the pidfd_open, pidfd_getfd, and pidfd_send_signal functions
have been added. The pidfd functionality provides access to a process
while avoiding the issue of PID reuse on tranditional Unix systems.
* On Linux, the process_madvise function has been added. It has the
same functionality as madvise but alters the target process identified
by the pidfd.
* On Linux, the process_mrelease function has been added. It allows a
caller to release the memory of a dying process. The release of the
memory is carried out in the context of the caller, using the caller's
CPU affinity, and priority with CPU usage accounted to the caller.
* The “no-aaaa” DNS stub resolver option has been added. System
administrators can use it to suppress AAAA queries made by the stub
resolver, including AAAA lookups triggered by NSS-based interfaces
such as getaddrinfo. Only DNS lookups are affected: IPv6 data in
/etc/hosts is still used, getaddrinfo with AI_PASSIVE will still
produce IPv6 addresses, and configured IPv6 name servers are still
used. To produce correct Name Error (NXDOMAIN) results, AAAA queries
are translated to A queries. The new resolver option is intended
primarily for diagnostic purposes, to rule out that AAAA DNS queries
have adverse impact. It is incompatible with EDNS0 usage and DNSSEC
validation by applications.
* On Linux, the fsopen, fsmount, move_mount, fsconfig, fspick, open_tree,
and mount_setattr have been added. They are part of the new Linux kernel
mount APIs that allow applications to more flexibly configure and operate
on filesystem mounts. The new mount APIs are specifically designed to work
with namespaces.
* localedef now accepts locale definition files encoded in UTF-8.
Previously, input bytes not within the ASCII range resulted in
unpredictable output.
* Support for the mbrtoc8 and c8rtomb multibyte/UTF-8 character conversion
functions has been added per the ISO C2X N2653 and C++20 P0482R6 proposals.
Support for the char8_t typedef has been added per the ISO C2X N2653
proposal. The functions are declared in uchar.h in C2X mode or when the
_GNU_SOURCE macro or C++20 __cpp_char8_t feature test macro is defined.
The char8_t typedef is declared in uchar.h in C2X mode or when the
_GNU_SOURCE macro is defined and the C++20 __cpp_char8_t feature test macro
is not defined (if __cpp_char8_t is defined, then char8_t is a builtin type).
* The functions arc4random, arc4random_buf, and arc4random_uniform have been
added. The functions wrap getrandom and/or /dev/urandom to return high-
quality randomness from the kernel.
* Support for LoongArch running on Linux has been added. This port requires
as least binutils 2.38, GCC 12, and Linux 5.19. Currently only hard-float
ABI is supported:
- loongarch64-linux-gnu
The LoongArch ABI is 64-bit little-endian.
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* Support for prelink will be removed in the next release; this includes
removal of the LD_TRACE_PRELINKING, and LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS, environment
variables and their functionality in the dynamic loader.
* The Linux kernel version check has been removed along with the
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable. The minimum kernel used to built
glibc is still provided through NT_GNU_ABI_TAG ELF note and also printed
when libc.so is issued directly.
* On Linux, The LD_LIBRARY_VERSION environment variable has been removed.

Version 2.35
Major new features:
* Unicode 14.0.0 Support: Character encoding, character type info, and
transliteration tables are all updated to Unicode 14.0.0, using
generator scripts contributed by Mike FABIAN (Red Hat).
* Bump r_version in the debugger interface to 2 and add a new field,
r_next, support multiple namespaces.
* Support for the C.UTF-8 locale has been added to glibc. The locale
supports full code-point sorting for all valid Unicode code points. A
limitation in the framework for fnmatch, regexec, and regcomp requires
a compromise to save space and only ASCII-based range expressions are
supported for now (see bug 28255). The full size of the locale is
only ~400KiB, with 346KiB coming from LC_CTYPE information for
Unicode. This locale harmonizes downstream C.UTF-8 already shipping
in various downstream distributions. The locale is not built into
glibc, and must be installed.
* <math.h> functions that round their results to a narrower type, and
corresponding <tgmath.h> macros, are added from TS 18661-1:2014, TS
18661-3:2015 and draft ISO C2X:
- fsqrt, fsqrtl, dsqrtl and corresponding fMsqrtfN, fMsqrtfNx,
fMxsqrtfN and fMxsqrtfNx functions.
- ffma, ffmal, dfmal and corresponding fMfmafN, fMfmafNx, fMxfmafN and
fMxfmafNx functions.
* <math.h> functions for floating-point maximum and minimum,
corresponding to new operations in IEEE 754-2019, and corresponding
<tgmath.h> macros, are added from draft ISO C2X: fmaximum,
fmaximum_num, fmaximum_mag, fmaximum_mag_num, fminimum, fminimum_num,
fminimum_mag, fminimum_mag_num and corresponding functions for float,
long double, _FloatN and _FloatNx.
* <math.h> macros for single-precision float constants are added as a
GNU extension: M_Ef, M_LOG2Ef, M_LOG10Ef, M_LN2f, M_LN10f, M_PIf,
M_PI_2f, M_PI_4f, M_1_PIf, M_2_PIf, M_2_SQRTPIf, M_SQRT2f and
M_SQRT1_2f.
* The __STDC_IEC_60559_BFP__ and __STDC_IEC_60559_COMPLEX__ macros are
predefined as specified in TS 18661-1:2014.
* The exp10 functions in <math.h> now have a corresponding type-generic
macro in <tgmath.h>.
* The ISO C2X macro _PRINTF_NAN_LEN_MAX has been added to <stdio.h>.
* printf-family functions now support the %b format for output of
integers in binary, as specified in draft ISO C2X, and the %B variant
of that format recommended by draft ISO C2X.
* A new DSO sorting algorithm has been added in the dynamic linker that uses
topological sorting by depth-first search (DFS), solving performance issues
of the existing sorting algorithm when encountering particular circular
object dependency cases.
* A new tunable, glibc.rtld.dynamic_sort, can be used to select between
the two DSO sorting algorithms. The default setting of '2' uses the
new DFS-based algorithm. The setting '1' switches to the old
algorithm used in glibc 2.33 and earlier.
* ABI support for a new function '__memcmpeq'. '__memcmpeq' is meant
to be used by compilers for optimizing usage of 'memcmp' when its
return value is only used for its boolean status.
* Support for automatically registering threads with the Linux rseq
system call has been added. This system call is implemented starting
from Linux 4.18. The Restartable Sequences ABI accelerates user-space
operations on per-cpu data. It allows user-space to perform updates
on per-cpu data without requiring heavy-weight atomic operations.
Automatically registering threads allows all libraries, including
libc, to make immediate use of the rseq support by using the
documented ABI, via the __rseq_flags, __rseq_offset, and __rseq_size
variables. The GNU C Library manual has details on integration of
Restartable Sequences.
* A symbolic link to the dynamic linker is now installed under
/usr/bin/ld.so (or more precisely, '${bindir}/ld.so').
* All programs and the testsuite in glibc are now built as position independent
executables (PIE) by default on toolchains and architectures that support it.
Further, if the toolchain and architecture supports it, even static programs
are built as PIE and the resultant glibc can be used to build static PIE
executables. A new option --disable-default-pie has been added to disable
this behavior and get a non-PIE build. This option replaces
--enable-static-pie, which no longer has any effect on the build
configuration.
* On Linux, a new tunable, glibc.malloc.hugetlb, can be used to
either make malloc issue madvise plus MADV_HUGEPAGE on mmap and sbrk
or to use huge pages directly with mmap calls with the MAP_HUGETLB
flags). The former can improve performance when Transparent Huge Pages
is set to 'madvise' mode while the latter uses the system reserved
huge pages.
* The printf family of functions now handles the flagged %#m conversion
specifier, printing errno as an error constant (similar to strerrorname_np).
* The function _dl_find_object has been added. In-process unwinders
can use it to efficiently locate unwinding information for a code
address.
* Support for OpenRISC running on Linux has been added. This port requires
as least binutils 2.35, GCC 11, and Linux 5.4. Currently only soft-float
ABI is supported:
- or1k-linux-gnu
The OpenRISC ABI is 32-bit big-endian and uses 64-bit time (y2038 safe) and
64-bit file offsets (LFS default).
* A new configure option, --with-rtld-early-cflags, can be used to
specify additional compiler flags for building the early startup code
of the dynamic linker. On targets which have CPU compatibility
checks, this can help to ensure that proper diagnostics are printed if
the dynamic loader runs on an incompatible CPU.
* On Linux, the epoll_pwait2 function has been added. It is similar to
epoll_wait with the difference the timeout has nanoseconds resolution.
* The function posix_spawn_file_actions_addtcsetpgrp_np has been added,
enabling posix_spawn and posix_spawnp to set the controlling terminal in
the new process in a race free manner. This function is a GNU extension.
* Source fortification (_FORTIFY_SOURCE) level 3 is now available for
applications compiling with glibc and gcc 12 and later. Level 3 leverages
the __builtin_dynamic_object_size function to deliver additional
fortification balanced against additional runtime cost (checking non-constant
bounds).
* The audit libraries will avoid unnecessary slowdown if it is not required
PLT tracking (by not implementing the la_pltenter or la_pltexit callbacks).
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* On x86-64, the LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC environment variable support
has been removed since the first PT_LOAD segment is no longer executable
due to defaulting to -z separate-code.
* The r_version update in the debugger interface makes the glibc binary
incompatible with GDB binaries built without the following commits:
c0154a4a21a gdb: Don't assume r_ldsomap when r_version > 1 on Linux
4eb629d50d4 gdbserver: Check r_version < 1 for Linux debugger interface
when audit modules or dlmopen are used.
* Intel MPX support (lazy PLT, ld.so profile, and LD_AUDIT) has been removed.
* The --enable-static-pie option is no longer available. The glibc build
configuration script now automatically detects static-pie support in the
toolchain and architecture and enables it if available.
* The catchsegv script and associated libSegFault.so shared object have
been removed. There are widely-deployed out-of-process alternatives for
catching coredumps and backtraces.
* Support for prelink will be removed in the next release; this includes
removal of the LD_TRACE_PRELINKING, and LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS, environment
variables and their functionality in the dynamic loader.
* The LD_TRACE_PRELINKING environment variable has been removed. Similar
functionality to obtain the program mapping address can be achieved by
using LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS to value of 2.
* The LD_USE_LOAD_BIAS has been removed. The variable was mainly used to
support prelink PIE binaries.
Changes to build and runtime requirements:
* The audit module interface version LAV_CURRENT is increased to enable
proper bind-now support. The loader now advertises via the la_symbind
flags that PLT trace is not possible. New audit modules require the
new dynamic loader supporing the latest LAV_CURRENT version. Old audit
modules are still loaded for all targets except aarch64.
* The audit interface on aarch64 is extended to support both the indirect
result location register (x8) and NEON Q register. Old audit modules are
rejected by the loader. Audit modules must be rebuilt to use the newer
structure sizes and the latest module interface version for LAV_CURRENT.

Version 2.34
Major new features:
* In order to support smoother in-place-upgrades and to simplify
the implementation of the runtime all functionality formerly
implemented in the libraries libpthread, libdl, libutil, libanl has
been integrated into libc. New applications do not need to link with
-lpthread, -ldl, -lutil, -lanl anymore. For backwards compatibility,
empty static archives libpthread.a, libdl.a, libutil.a, libanl.a are
provided, so that the linker options keep working. Applications which
have been linked against glibc 2.33 or earlier continue to load the
corresponding shared objects (which are now empty). The integration
of those libraries into libc means that additional symbols become
available by default. This can cause applications that contain weak
references to take unexpected code paths that would only have been
used in previous glibc versions when e.g. preloading libpthread.so.0,
potentially exposing application bugs.
* When _DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE are defined,
PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is no longer constant and is redefined to
sysconf(_SC_THREAD_STACK_MIN). This supports dynamic sized register
sets for modern architectural features like Arm SVE.
* Add _SC_MINSIGSTKSZ and _SC_SIGSTKSZ. When _DYNAMIC_STACK_SIZE_SOURCE
or _GNU_SOURCE are defined, MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ are no longer
constant on Linux. MINSIGSTKSZ is redefined to sysconf(_SC_MINSIGSTKSZ)
and SIGSTKSZ is redefined to sysconf (_SC_SIGSTKSZ). This supports
dynamic sized register sets for modern architectural features like
Arm SVE.
* The dynamic linker implements the --list-diagnostics option, printing
a dump of information related to IFUNC resolver operation and
glibc-hwcaps subdirectory selection.
* On Linux, the function execveat has been added. It operates similar to
execve and it is is already used to implement fexecve without requiring
/proc to be mounted. However, different than fexecve, if the syscall is not
supported by the kernel an error is returned instead of trying a fallback.
* The ISO C2X function timespec_getres has been added.
* The feature test macro __STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_EXT__, from draft ISO
C2X, is supported to enable declarations of functions defined in Annex F
of C2X. Those declarations are also enabled when
__STDC_WANT_IEC_60559_BFP_EXT__, as specified in TS 18661-1, is
defined, and when _GNU_SOURCE is defined.
* On powerpc64*, glibc can now be compiled without scv support using the
--disable-scv configure option.
* Add support for 64-bit time_t on configurations like x86 where time_t
is traditionally 32-bit. Although time_t still defaults to 32-bit on
these configurations, this default may change in future versions.
This is enabled with the _TIME_BITS preprocessor macro set to 64 and is
only supported when LFS (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) is also enabled. It is
only enabled for Linux and the full support requires a minimum kernel
version of 5.1.
* The main gconv-modules file in glibc now contains only a small set of
essential converter modules and the rest have been moved into a supplementary
configuration file gconv-modules-extra.conf in the gconv-modules.d directory
in the same GCONV_PATH. Similarly, external converter modules directories
may have supplementary configuration files in a gconv-modules.d directory
with names ending with .conf to logically classify the converter modules in
that directory.
* On Linux, a new tunable, glibc.pthread.stack_cache_size, can be used
to configure the size of the thread stack cache.
* The function _Fork has been added as an async-signal-safe fork replacement
since Austin Group issue 62 droped the async-signal-safe requirement for
fork (and it will be included in the future POSIX standard). The new _Fork
function does not run any atfork function neither resets any internal state
or lock (such as the malloc one), and only sets up a minimal state required
to call async-signal-safe functions (such as raise or execve). This function
is currently a GNU extension.
* On Linux, the close_range function has been added. It allows efficiently
closing a range of file descriptors on recent kernels (version 5.9).
* The function closefrom has been added. It closes all file descriptors
greater than or equal to a given integer. This function is a GNU extension,
although it is also present in other systems.
* The posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np function has been added,
enabling posix_spawn and posix_spawnp to close all file descriptors greater
than or equal to a given integer. This function is a GNU extension,
although Solaris also provides a similar function.
* When invoked explicitly, the dynamic linker now uses the kernel to
execute programs that do not have any dynamic dependency (that is,
they are statically linked). This feature is Linux-specific.
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* The function pthread_mutex_consistent_np has been deprecated; programs
should use the equivalent standard function pthread_mutex_consistent
instead.
* The function pthread_mutexattr_getrobust_np has been deprecated;
programs should use the equivalent standard function
pthread_mutexattr_getrobust instead.
* The function pthread_mutexattr_setrobust_np has been deprecated;
programs should use the equivalent standard function
pthread_mutexattr_setrobust instead.
* The function pthread_yield has been deprecated; programs should use
the equivalent standard function sched_yield instead.
* The function inet_neta declared in <arpa/inet.h> has been deprecated.
* Various rarely-used functions declared in <resolv.h> and
<arpa/nameser.h> have been deprecated. Applications are encouraged to
use dedicated DNS processing libraries if applicable. For <resolv.h>,
this affects the functions dn_count_labels, fp_nquery, fp_query,
fp_resstat, hostalias, loc_aton, loc_ntoa, p_cdname, p_cdnname,
p_class, p_fqname, p_fqnname, p_option, p_query, p_rcode, p_time,
p_type, putlong, putshort, res_hostalias, res_isourserver,
res_nameinquery, res_queriesmatch, res_randomid, sym_ntop, sym_ntos,
sym_ston. For <arpa/nameser.h>, the functions ns_datetosecs,
ns_format_ttl, ns_makecanon, ns_parse_ttl, ns_samedomain, ns_samename,
ns_sprintrr, ns_sprintrrf, ns_subdomain have been deprecated.
* Various symbols previously defined in libresolv have been moved to libc
in order to prepare for libresolv moving entirely into libc (see earlier
entry for merging libraries into libc). The symbols __dn_comp,
__dn_expand, __dn_skipname, __res_dnok, __res_hnok, __res_mailok,
__res_mkquery, __res_nmkquery, __res_nquery, __res_nquerydomain,
__res_nsearch, __res_nsend, __res_ownok, __res_query, __res_querydomain,
__res_search, __res_send formerly in libresolv have been renamed and no
longer have a __ prefix. They are now available in libc.
* The pthread cancellation handler is now installed with SA_RESTART and
pthread_cancel will always send the internal SIGCANCEL on a cancellation
request. It should not be visible to applications since the cancellation
handler should either act upon cancellation (if asynchronous cancellation
is enabled) or ignore the cancellation internal signal. However there are
buggy kernel interfaces (for instance some CIFS versions) that could still
see a spurious EINTR error when cancellation interrupts a blocking syscall.
* Previously, glibc installed its various shared objects under versioned
file names such as libc-2.33.so. The ABI sonames (e.g., libc.so.6)
were provided as symbolic links. Starting with glibc 2.34, the shared
objects are installed under their ABI sonames directly, without
symbolic links. This increases compatibility with distribution
package managers that delete removed files late during the package
upgrade or downgrade process.
* The symbols mallwatch and tr_break are now deprecated and no longer used in
mtrace. Similar functionality can be achieved by using conditional
breakpoints within mtrace functions from within gdb.
* The __morecore and __after_morecore_hook malloc hooks and the default
implementation __default_morecore have been removed from the API. Existing
applications will continue to link against these symbols but the interfaces
no longer have any effect on malloc.
* Debugging features in malloc such as the MALLOC_CHECK_ environment variable
(or the glibc.malloc.check tunable), mtrace() and mcheck() have now been
disabled by default in the main C library. Users looking to use these
features now need to preload a new debugging DSO libc_malloc_debug.so to get
this functionality back.
* The deprecated functions malloc_get_state and malloc_set_state have been
moved from the core C library into libc_malloc_debug.so. Legacy applications
that still use these functions will now need to preload libc_malloc_debug.so
in their environment using the LD_PRELOAD environment variable.
* The deprecated memory allocation hooks __malloc_hook, __realloc_hook,
__memalign_hook and __free_hook are now removed from the API. Compatibility
symbols are present to support legacy programs but new applications can no
longer link to these symbols. These hooks no longer have any effect on glibc
functionality. The malloc debugging DSO libc_malloc_debug.so currently
supports hooks and can be preloaded to get this functionality back for older
programs. However this is a transitional measure and may be removed in a
future release of the GNU C Library. Users may port away from these hooks by
writing and preloading their own malloc interposition library.
Changes to build and runtime requirements:
* On Linux, the shm_open, sem_open, and related functions now expect the
file shared memory file system to be mounted at /dev/shm. These functions
no longer search among the system's mount points for a suitable
replacement if /dev/shm is not available.

Version 2.33
Major new features:
* The dynamic linker accepts the --list-tunables argument which prints
all the supported tunables. This option is disable if glibc is
configured with tunables disabled (--enable-tunables=no).
* The dynamic linker accepts the --argv0 argument and provides opportunity
to change argv[0] string.
* The dynamic linker loads optimized implementations of shared objects
from subdirectories under the glibc-hwcaps directory on the library
search path if the system's capabilities meet the requirements for
that subdirectory. Initially supported subdirectories include
"power9" and "power10" for the powerpc64le-linux-gnu architecture,
"z13", "z14", "z15" for s390x-linux-gnu, and "x86-64-v2", "x86-64-v3",
"x86-64-v4" for x86_64-linux-gnu. In the x86_64-linux-gnu case, the
subdirectory names correspond to the vendor-independent x86-64
microarchitecture levels defined in the x86-64 psABI supplement.
