- Don't use alloca in addgetnetgrentX (#1087789).
- Adjust pointers to triplets in netgroup query data (#1087789).
- Return EAI_AGAIN for AF_UNSPEC when herrno is TRY_AGAIN (#1098050).
- Fix race in free of fastbin chunk (#1091162).
- Revert the addition of gettimeofday vDSO function for ppc and ppc64 until OPD VDSO function call issues are resolved (#1026533).
- Call gethostbyname4_r only for PF_UNSPEC (#1022022).
- Fix integer overflows in *valloc and memalign.
(#1008310).
- Initialize res_hconf in nscd (#970090).
- Update previous patch for dcigettext.c and loadmsgcat.c (#834386).
- Save search paths before performing relro protection (#988931).
- Correctly name the 240-bit slow path sytemtap probe slowpow_p10 for slowpow (#905575).
- Align value of stacksize in nptl-init (#663641).
- Renamed release engineering directory from 'fedora' to `releng' (#903754).
- Backport GLIBC sched_getcpu and gettimeofday vDSO functions for ppc (#929302).
- Fall back to local DNS if resolv.conf does not define nameservers (#928318).
- Add systemtap probes to slowexp and slowpow (#905575).
- Fix getaddrinfo stack overflow resulting in application crash (CVE-2013-1914, #951213).
- Fix multibyte character processing crash in regexp (CVE-2013-0242, #951213).
- Add netgroup cache support for nscd (#629823).
- Fix multiple nss_compat initgroups bugs (#966778).
- Don't use simple lookup for AF_INET when AI_CANONNAME is set (#863384).
- Add MAP_HUGETLB and MAP_STACK support (#916986).
- Update translation for stale file handle error (#970776).
- Improve performance of _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN (#rh952422).
- Fix up _init in pt-initfini to accept arguments (#663641).

- The ttyname and ttyname_r functions on Linux now fall back to searching for the tty file descriptor in /dev/pts or /dev if /proc is not available. This allows creation of chroots without the procfs mounted on /proc.
(#851470)
- Don't free rpath strings allocated during startup until after ld.so is re-relocated. (#862094)
- Consistantly MANGLE/DEMANGLE function pointers. Fix use after free in dcigettext.c (#834386).
