- Update to glibc 2.21 release.
* A new semaphore algorithm has been implemented in generic C code for all
machines
* Added support for TSX lock elision of pthread mutexes on powerpc32,
powerpc64 and powerpc64le
* Optimized strcpy, stpcpy, strchrnul and strrchr implementations for
AArch64
* i386 memcpy functions optimized with SSE2 unaligned load/store
* New locales: tu_IN, bh_IN, raj_IN, ce_RU
* The obsolete sigvec function has been removed
- Patches from upstream removed
* ifunc-x86-slow-sse4.patch
* pthread-mutex-trylock-elision.patch
- o-tmpfile.patch: Fix value of O_TMPFILE for architectures with
non-default O_DIRECTORY (BZ #17912)

- Update to glibc 2.20 release.
* Reverted change of ABI data structures for s390 and s390x
* Support for file description locks is added to systems running the
Linux kernel
* Optimized strchr implementation for AArch64
* The minimum Linux kernel version that this version of the GNU C Library
can be used with is 2.6.32
* Running the testsuite no longer terminates as soon as a test fails
* The am33 port, which had not worked for several years, has been removed
from ports.
* The _BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE feature test macros are no longer
supported; they now act the same as _DEFAULT_SOURCE (but generate a
warning)
* Optimized strcmp implementation for ARMv7
* Added support for TX lock elision of pthread mutexes on s390 and s390x
* All supported architectures now use the main glibc sysdeps directory
instead of some being in a separate "ports" directory
* The NPTL implementation of POSIX pthreads is no longer an "add-on"
* Locale names, including those obtained from environment variables (LANG
and the LC_* variables), are more tightly checked for proper syntax
* On x86-64, the dynamic linker's lazy-binding support is now compatible
with application code using Intel MPX instructions
- Patches from upstream removed
* nss-dns-memleak.patch
* sin-sign.patch
* pldd-wait-ptrace-stop.patch
* nscd-track-startup-failures.patch
* powerpc-opt-power8.patch
* check-pf-alloca.patch
* getaddrinfo-uninit-result.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.
