# # This is the original fix for bug 1124987 in Fedora. # This patch should never go upstream. We are applying it # in rhel-7.2 as a workaround. # # Upstream commit f8aeae347377f3dfa8cbadde057adf1827fb1d44 fixes # this issue correctly, but reveals other bugs, therefore for now # this patch is a workaround. # diff -urN glibc-2.17-c758a686/sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h glibc-2.17-c758a686/sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h --- glibc-2.17-c758a686/sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h 2014-08-21 01:00:55.000000000 -0400 +++ glibc-2.17-c758a686/sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h 2014-09-04 19:29:42.929692810 -0400 @@ -388,8 +388,18 @@ have to iterate beyond the first element in the slotinfo list. */ #define TLS_SLOTINFO_SURPLUS (62) -/* Number of additional slots in the dtv allocated. */ -#define DTV_SURPLUS (14) +/* Number of additional allocated dtv slots.
