From Alan Modra: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 11:51:56 +0930: powerpc64 call stubs:
This brings powerpc64 ld in line with gold regarding calls allowed to
go via a plt call stub or toc-adjusting stub without a following nop.
A long time ago ld allowed tail calls, but this is wrong because we'll
return to the caller's caller with the wrong toc pointer. I fixed
that for shared libraries but allowed tail calls in an executable for
some reason. Probably just muddy thinking on my part, because there's
no difference between an executable and a shared library regarding the
need to restore the toc pointer. Perhaps it was because some testcase
failed, most likely due to the g++ issue I comment on in the patch.
From Alan Modra: 29 Aug 2014 01:22:29 +0000: PowerPC64 call lacks nop error:
Enough people accidentally or otherwise use -mcmodel=small then wonder
why a call that is local is behaving as if it is going via the PLT.
* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_relocate_section): Report a different
error for calls via a toc adjusting stub without a nop.
problems with compiling atomics for the riscv64 target with gcc. Remove
the now-unneeded workarounds for the 2 files in libasan that were formerly
failing to compile with the optimizer turned on.
- Fix a conditional
- Don't include bsd.lib.mk if we are not building libraries
(otherwise we end up with an empty library name that installed
bogus library files lib.a etc.)
- Allow signals while reading the user crontab file; doing "crontab -"
does not let you abort otherwise, and doing ^Z, kill %1 leaves turds
in /var/cron/tabs
Summary of changes in tzdata2014j (2014-11-10 17:37:11 -0800):
* Turks & Caicos' switch from US eastern time to UTC-4 year-round
did not occur on 2014-11-02 at 02:00.
* Many pre-1989 time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Seoul and
Asia/Pyongyang, based on sources for the Korean-language Wikipedia
entry for time in Korea.
* Some more zones have been turned into links, when they differed
from existing zones only for older (pre-1970) time stamps.
* Changes affecting commentary.
Summary of changes in tzdata2014i (2014-10-21 22:04:57 -0700):
* Pacific/Fiji will observe DST from 2014-11-02 02:00 to 2015-01-18 03:00.
* A new Zone Pacific/Bougainville, for the part of Papua New Guinea
that plans to switch from UTC+10 to UTC+11 on 2014-12-28 at 02:00.
* Since Belarus is not changing its clocks even though Moscow is,
the time zone abbreviation in Europe/Minsk is changing from FET
to its more-traditional value MSK on 2014-10-26 at 01:00.
* The new abbreviation IDT stands for the pre-1976 use of UT+8 in
Indochina, to distinguish it better from ICT (UT+7).
* Many time stamps have been corrected for Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh before 1976.
Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh has been added to zone1970.tab, to give tzselect
users in Vietnam two choices, since north and south Vietnam
disagreed after our 1970 cutoff.
* Asia/Phnom_Penh and Asia/Vientiane have been turned into links, as
they differed from existing zones only for older (pre-1970) time stamps.
* Changes affecting commentary.
** no user visible changes in this release
* version 2.5.38 released 2014-02-14
** internationalization
*** add sr translation from the translation project
*** update da, es, ko, nl, pt_BR, ro, ru, sv, tr, vi, zh_CN translations from th
e translation project
*** rename zh_tw to its proper zh_TW name
* Don't update when nothing has been deleted
* Backup resolv.conf to resolv.conf.bak when it doesn't have an openresolv
signature
Restore it when the new resolv.conf only has the openresolv signature
* Document prepend_search and prepend_nameservers
* Implement append_search and append_nameservers
* Implement replace and replace_sub to allow for keyword/value/replacement
* There is a new "stop-bits" option, which takes an argument of 1 or 2,
indicating the number of stop bits to use for async serial ports.
* Various bug fixes.
* Fixed a potential security issue in parsing option files (CVE-2014-3158).
* There is a new "stop-bits" option, which takes an argument of 1 or 2,
indicating the number of stop bits to use for async serial ports.
* Various bug fixes.
- ENHANCE: When executing a chain, require at least one service
function to succeed. This mitigates fail-open scenarios caused by
misconfigurations or missing modules.
- ENHANCE: Make sure to overwrite buffers which may have contained an
authentication token when they're no longer needed.
- BUGFIX: Under certain circumstances, specifying a non-existent
module (or misspelling the name of a module) in a policy could
result in a fail-open scenario. (CVE-2014-3879)
- FEATURE: Add a search path for modules. This was implemented in
Nummularia but inadvertently left out of the release notes.
- BUGFIX: The is_upper() predicate only accepted the letter A as an
upper-case character instead of the entire A-Z range. As a result,
service and module names containing upper-case letters other than A
would be rejected.
Summary of changes in tzdata2014i (2014-10-21 22:04:57 -0700):
* Pacific/Fiji will observe DST from 2014-11-02 02:00 to 2015-01-18 03:00.
Guess that future years will use a similar pattern.

that plans to switch from UTC+10 to UTC+11 on 2014-12-28 at 02:00.
