- Update to glibc-2.25.90.20170720.gc771b59a24c0
* A per-thread cache has been added to malloc
* Unicode 10.0.0 Support
* Improvements to the DNS stub resolver
* New function reallocarray, which resizes an allocated block (like
realloc) to the product of two sizes, with a guaranteed clean failure
upon integer overflow in the multiplication
* New wrappers for the Linux-specific system calls preadv2 and pwritev2
* posix_spawnattr_setflags now supports the flag POSIX_SPAWN_SETSID, to
create a new session ID for the spawned process
* errno.h is now safe to use from C-preprocessed assembly language on all
supported operating systems
* On ia64, powerpc64le, x86-32, and x86-64, the math library now implements
128-bit floating point as defined by ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559:2011 (IEEE
754-2008) and ISO/IEC TS 18661-3:2015
* The synchronization that pthread_spin_unlock performs has been changed to
now be equivalent to a C11 atomic store with release memory order to the
spin lock's memory location
* The DNS stub resolver no longer performs EDNS fallback
* res_mkquery and res_nmkquery no longer support the IQUERY opcode
* The _res_opcodes variable has been removed from libresolv
* <string.h> no longer includes inline versions of any string functions,
as this kind of optimization is better done by the compiler
* The nonstandard header <xlocale.h> has been removed
* The obsolete header <sys/ultrasound.h> has been removed
* The obsolete signal constant SIGUNUSED is no longer defined by <signal.h>
* The obsolete function cfree has been removed
* The stack_t type no longer has the name struct sigaltstack
* The ucontext_t type no longer has the name struct ucontext
* On S/390 GNU/Linux, the constants defined by <sys/ptrace.h> have been

- Update to glibc 2.24
* The minimum Linux kernel version that this version of the GNU C Library
can be used with is 3.2
* The pap_AN locale has been deleted
* The readdir_r and readdir64_r functions have been deprecated
* The type `union wait' has been removed
* A new NSS action is added to facilitate large distributed system
administration
* The deprecated __malloc_initialize_hook variable has been removed from
the API
* The long unused localedef --old-style option has been removed
* nextupl, nextup, nextupf, nextdownl, nextdown and nextdownf are added
to libm
* An unnecessary stack copy in _nss_dns_getnetbyname_r was removed
(CVE-2016-3075)
* Previously, getaddrinfo copied large amounts of address data to the
stack, even after the fix for CVE-2013-4458 has been applied,
potentially resulting in a stack overflow. getaddrinfo now uses a
heap allocation instead (CVE-2016-3706)
* The glob function suffered from a stack-based buffer overflow when it
was called with the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC flag and encountered a long file
name (CVE-2016-1234)
* The Sun RPC UDP client could exhaust all available stack space when
flooded with crafted ICMP and UDP messages (CVE-2016-4429)
* The IPv6 name server management code in libresolv could result in a
memory leak for each thread which is created, performs a failing
naming lookup, and exits (CVE-2016-5417)
- setcontext-unwind-info.patch: Add EABI unwind info for setcontext on arm
- Removed patches:
* 0001-Updated-translations-for-2.23.patch

- no-long-double.patch: Don't use long double functions if NO_LONG_DOUBLE
- Update to glibc 2.23 release.
* Unicode 8.0.0 Support
* sched_setaffinity, pthread_setaffinity_np no longer attempt to guess
the kernel-internal CPU set size
* The fts.h header can now be used with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
* getaddrinfo now detects certain invalid responses on an internal
netlink socket
* A defect in the malloc implementation, present since glibc 2.15 (2012)
or glibc 2.10 via --enable-experimental-malloc (2009), could result in
the unnecessary serialization of memory allocation requests across
threads
* The obsolete header <regexp.h> has been removed
* The obsolete functions bdflush, create_module, get_kernel_syms,
query_module and uselib are no longer available to newly linked
binaries
* Optimized string, wcsmbs and memory functions for IBM z13.
* Newly linked programs that define a variable called signgam will no
longer have it set by the lgamma, lgammaf and lgammal functions
- Removed patches:
* dont-remove-nodelete-flag.patch
* openat64-readd-o-largefile.patch
* mntent-blank-line.patch
* opendir-o-directory-check.patch
* strcoll-remove-strdiff-opt.patch
* ld-pointer-guard.patch
* tls-dtor-list-mangling.patch
* powerpc-lock-elision-race.patch
* prelink-elf-rtype-class.patch

- Update to glibc 2.17.90 85891acadf1b:
* CVE-2013-2207 Incorrectly granting access to another user's pseudo-terminal
has been fixed by disabling the use of pt_chown (Bugzilla #15755).
Distributions can re-enable building and using pt_chown via the new configure
option `--enable-pt_chown'. Enabling the use of pt_chown carries with it
considerable security risks and should only be used if the distribution
understands and accepts the risks.
* CVE-2013-0242 Buffer overrun in regexp matcher has been fixed (Bugzilla
#15078).
* CVE-2013-1914 Stack overflow in getaddrinfo with many results has been
fixed (Bugzilla #15330).
* Add support for calling C++11 thread_local object destructors on thread
and program exit. This needs compiler support for offloading C++11
destructor calls to glibc.
* Improved worst case performance of libm functions with double inputs and
output.
* Support for priority inherited mutexes in pthread condition variables on
non-x86 architectures.
* Optimized string functions for AArch64. Implemented by Marcus Shawcroft.
* Optimized string functions for ARM. Implemented by Will Newton and
Richard Henderson.
* Added a benchmark framework to track performance of functions in glibc.
* New <math.h> macro named issignaling to check for a signaling NaN (sNaN).
It is based on draft TS 18661 and currently enabled as a GNU extension.
* On Linux, the clock function now uses the clock_gettime system call
for improved precision, rather than old times system call.
* Added new API functions pthread_getattr_default_np and
pthread_setattr_default_np to get and set the default pthread
attributes of a process.
* Added support for TSX lock elision for pthread mutexes on i386 and x86-64.
