i386 TLS_INIT_TP might produce bogus asm changing stack pointer [BZ #17319]
TLS_INIT_TP in sysdeps/i386/nptl/tls.h uses some hand written asm to generate a set_thread_area that might result in exchanging ebx and esp around the syscall causing introspection tools like valgrind to loose track of the user stack. Just use INTERNAL_SYSCALL which makes sure esp isn't changed arbitrarily. Before the patch the code would generate: mov $0xf3,%eax movl $0xfffff,0x8(%esp) movl $0x51,0xc(%esp) xchg %esp,%ebx int $0x80 xchg %esp,%ebx Using INTERNAL_SYSCALL instead will generate: movl $0xfffff,0x8(%esp) movl $0x51,0xc(%esp) xchg %ecx,%ebx mov $0xf3,%eax int $0x80 xchg %ecx,%ebx Thanks to Florian Weimer for analysing why the original code generated the bogus esp usage: _segdescr.desc happens to be at the top of the stack, so its address is in %esp. The asm statement says that %3 is an input, so its value will not change, and GCC can use %esp as the input register for the expression &_segdescr.desc. But the constraints do not fully describe the asm statement because the %3 register is actually modified, albeit only temporarily. [BZ #17319] * sysdeps/i386/nptl/tls.h (TLS_INIT_TP): Use INTERNAL_SYSCALL to call set_thread_area instead of hand written asm. (__NR_set_thread_area): Removed define. (TLS_FLAG_WRITABLE): Likewise. (__ASSUME_SET_THREAD_AREA): Remove check. (TLS_EBX_ARG): Remove define. (TLS_LOAD_EBX): Likewise.
