Sun finally released a new version of fdlibm just a coupe of weeks
ago. It only fixes 3 bugs (this one, another one in pow() that we
already have (rev.1.9), and one in tan(). I've learned too much about
powf() lately, so this fix was easy to merge. The patch is not verbatim,
because our base version has many differences for portability and I
didn't like global renaming of an unrelated variable to keep it separate
from the sign variable. This patch uses a new variable named sn for
the sign.
[t=p_l+p_h High]. We multiply t by lg2_h, and want the result to be
exact. For the bogus float case of the high-low decomposition trick,
we normally discard the lowest 12 bits of the fraction for the high
part, keeping 12 bits of precision. That was used for t here, but it
doesnt't work because for some reason we only discard the lowest 9
bits in the fraction for lg2_h. Discard another 3 bits of the fraction
for t to compensate.
This bug gave wrong results like:
powf(0.9999999, -2.9999995) = 1.0000002 (should be 1.0000001)
hex values: 3F7FFFFF C03FFFFE 3F800002 3F800001
As explained in the log for the previous commit, the bug is normally
masked by doing float calculations in extra precision on i386's, but
is easily detected by ucbtest on systems that don't have accidental
extra precision.
This completes fixing all the bugs in powf() that were routinely found
by ucbtest.
(1) The bit for the 1.0 part of bp[k] was right shifted by 4. This seems
to have been caused by a typo in converting e_pow.c to e_powf.c.
(2) The lower 12 bits of ax+bp[k] were not discarded, so t_h was actually
plain ax+bp[k]. This seems to have been caused by a logic error in
the conversion.
These bugs gave wrong results like:
powf(-1.1, 101.0) = -15158.703 (should be -15158.707)
hex values: BF8CCCCD 42CA0000 C66CDAD0 C66CDAD4
Fixing (1) gives a result wrong in the opposite direction (hex C66CDAD8),
and fixing (2) gives the correct result.
ucbtest has been reporting this particular wrong result on i386 systems
with unpatched libraries for 9 years. I finally figured out the extent
of the bugs. On i386's they are normally hidden by extra precision.
We use the trick of representing floats as a sum of 2 floats (one much
smaller) to get extra precision in intermediate calculations without
explicitly using more than float precision. This trick is just a
pessimization when extra precision is available naturally (as it always
is when dealing with IEEE single precision, so the float precision part
of the library is mostly misimplemented). (1) and (2) break the trick
in different ways, except on i386's it turns out that the intermediate
calculations are done in enough precision to mask both the bugs and
the limited precision of the float variables (as far as ucbtest can
check).
ucbtest detects the bugs because it forces float precision, but this
is not a normal mode of operation so the bug normally has little effect
on i386's.
On systems that do float arithmetic in float precision, e.g., amd64's,
there is no accidental extra precision and the bugs just give wrong
results.
descriptors out of fdrop_locked() and into vn_closefile(). This
removes all knowledge of vnodes from fdrop_locked(), since the lock
behavior was specific to vnodes. This also removes the specific
requirement for Giant in fdrop_locked(), it's now only required by
code that it calls into.
Add GIANT_REQUIRED to vn_closefile() since VFS requires Giant.

deferred for lack of resources doesn't immediately get retried in the
aac_startio() loop. This avoids an almost certain livelock.

the socket is on an accept queue of a listen socket. This change
renames the flags to SQ_COMP and SQ_INCOMP, and moves them to a new
state field on the socket, so_qstate, as the locking for these flags
is substantially different for the locking on the remainder of the
flags in so_state.

This change also removes a long-undocumented BACKWARD_COMPATIBILITY
compile-time option, where:
ps -options arg1 arg2
(with no '-' on "arg1" and "arg2") was treated as:
ps -options -N arg1 -M arg2
This also changes `ps' to check for any additional arguments after
processing all the '-'-options, and attempt to use those arguments as
a pid or pidlist. If an extra argument is not a valid pidlist, then
`ps' will print an error and exit. This seems a more generally useful
extension of the kludge-option processing than the -N/-M behavior, and
has fewer confusing side-effects.

fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK).
Pass the MSG_NBIO flag to the soreceive() and sosend() calls in
fifo_read() and fifo_write() instead of frobbing the SS_NBIO flag
on the underlying socket for each I/O operation. The O_NONBLOCK
flag is a property of the descriptor, and unlike ordinary sockets,
fifos may be referenced by multiple descriptors.
about the risks of enabling raw sockets in prisons.
Because raw sockets can be used to configure and interact
with various network subsystems, extra caution should be
used where privileged access to jails is given out to
untrusted parties. As such, by default this option is disabled.
A few others and I are currently auditing the kernel
source code to ensure that the use of raw sockets by
privledged prison users is safe.
