* Comment tst-ofdlocks-compat expected failure in some Linux releasesAdhemerval Zanella2018-07-102-0/+13

* regexec: Fix off-by-one bug in weight comparison [BZ #23036]Florian Weimer2018-07-102-23/+27
| | | | | | | | | Each weight is prefixed by its length, and the length does not include itself in the count. This can be seen clearly from the find_idx function in string/strxfrm_l.c, for example. The old code behaved as if the length itself counted, thus comparing an additional byte after the weight, leading to spurious comparison failures and incorrect further partitioning of character equivalence classes.

| | | | | Use the new __libc_readline_unlocked function to pick up reading at the same line in case the buffer needs to be enlarged.
* libio: Implement internal function __libc_readline_unlockedFlorian Weimer2018-07-0610-9/+471
| | | | | | | | | | | This is a variant of fgets which fails with ERANGE if the buffer is too small, and the buffer length is given as an argument of type size_t. This function will be useful for implementing NSS file reading operations. Compared to a direct implementation using the public API, it avoids an lseek system call in case the line terminator can be found in the internal read buffer.
* aarch64: add HWCAP_ATOMICS to HWCAP_IMPORTANTSzabolcs Nagy2018-07-062-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This enables searching shared libraries in atomics/ when the hardware supports LSE atomics of armv8.1 so one can provide optimized variants of libraries in a portable way. LSE atomics does not affect library abi, the new instructions can interoperate with old ones. I considered the earlier comments on the patch https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-04/msg00400.html https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-04/msg00625.html It turns out that the way glibc dynamic linker decides on the search path is not very flexible: it wants to use hwcap bits and associated strings. So some targets reuse hwcap bits for glibc internal purposes to affect the search logic. But hwcap is an interface with the kernel, glibc should not allocate bits in it for its internal logic as that limits future hwcap extensions and confusing to users who expect to see hwcap bits in ifunc resolvers. Instead of rewriting the dynamic linker path logic (which affects all targets) this patch just uses the existing mechanism, however this means that the path name has to be the hwcap name "atomics" and cannot be changed to something more meaningful to users. It is hard to tell how much performance benefit this can give, in principle armv8.1 atomics can be better optimized in the hardware, so it can make a difference for synchronization heavy code. On some systems such multilib setup may be the only viable way to get optimized libraries used. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/dl-procinfo.h (HWCAP_IMPORTANT): Add HWCAP_ATOMICS.
* aarch64: Remove HWCAP_CPUID from HWCAP_IMPORTANTSzabolcs Nagy2018-07-063-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This partially reverts commit f82e9672ad89ea1ef40bbe1af71478e255e87c5e Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org> aarch64: Allow overriding HWCAP_CPUID feature check using HWCAP_MASK The idea was to make it possible to disable cpuid based ifunc resolution in glibc by changing the hwcap mask which the user could already control. However the hwcap mask has an orthogonal role: it specifies additional library search paths for the dynamic linker. So "cpuid" got added to the search paths when it was set in the default mask (HWCAP_IMPORTANT), which is not useful behaviour, the hwcap masking should not be reused in the cpu features code. Meanwhile there is a tunable to set the cpu explicitly so it is possible to disable the cpuid based dispatch without using a hwcap mask: GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.cpu=generic * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Use dl_hwcap without masking. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/dl-procinfo.h (HWCAP_IMPORTANT): Remove HWCAP_CPUID.

* libc-abis: Define ABSOLUTE ABI [BZ #19818][BZ #23307]Maciej W. Rozycki2018-07-054-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Define a new ABSOLUTE ABI for static linker's use with EI_ABIVERSION where correct absolute (SHN_ABS) symbol run-time load semantics is required. This way it can be ensured at static link time that a program or DSO will not suffer from previous semantics where absolute symbols were relocated by the base address, or symbols whose `st_value' is zero silently ignored leading to a confusing "undefined symbol" error message at load time, and instead "ELF file ABI version invalid" is printed with old dynamic loaders, making it clear that there is an ABI version incompatibility.

* locale: XFAIL newlocale usage in static binary (Bug 23164)Carlos O'Donell2018-07-048-27/+176
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a glibc optimization which allows for locale categories to be removed during static compilation. There have been various bugs for this support over the years, with bug 16915 being the most recent. The solution there was to emit a reference to all the categories to avoid any being removed. This fix, although it's in the generic __nl_langinfo_l function, doesn't appear to be enough to fix the case for a statically linked program that uses newlocale and nl_langinfo_l. This commit doesn't fix the problem, but it does add a XFAIL'd test case such that a fix can be applied against this and the XFAIL removed. It's not entirely clear that the problem is the same as that which was seen in bug 16915.

* posix: Sync gnulib regex implementationAdhemerval Zanella2018-07-0412-1161/+1609
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch syncs the regex implementation with gnulib (commit 0ee5212). Only two changes in GLIBC regex testing are required: 1. posix/bug-regex28.c: as previously discussed [1] the change of expected results on the pattern should be safe. 2. posix/PCRE.tests: the ERE (a)|\1 is malformed (in the sense that the \1 doesn't mean anything) and although current GLIBC accepts it has undefined behavior. This patch removes the specific test. This sync contains some patches from thread 'Regex: Make libc regex more usable outside GLIBC.' [2] which have been pushed upstream in gnulib. This patches also fixes some regex issues (BZ #23233, BZ #21163, BZ #18986, BZ #13762) and I did not add testcases for both #23233 and #13762 because I couldn't think a simple way to trigger the expected failure path to trigger them.

* ldbl-128ibm-compat: Add printf_sizeGabriel F. T. Gomes2018-07-029-2/+182
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the addition of the _Float128 API, strfromf128 and printf_size use __printf_fp to print _Float128 values. This is achieved by setting the 'is_binary128' member of the 'printf_info' structure to one. Now that the format of long double on powerpc64le is getting a third option, this mechanism is reused for long double values that have binary128 format (i.e.: when -mabi=ieeelongdouble). This patch adds __printf_sizeieee128 as an exported symbol, but doesn't provide redirections from printf_size, yet. All redirections will be installed in a future commit, once all other functions that print or read long double values with binary128 format are ready. In __printf_fp, when 'is_binary128' is one, the floating-point argument is treated as if it was of _Float128 type, regardless of the value of 'is_long_double', thus __printf_sizeieee128 sets 'is_binary128' to the same value of 'is_long_double'. Otherwise, double values would not be printed correctly. Tested for powerpc64le.

* libc: Extend __libc_freeres framework (Bug 23329).Carlos O'Donell2018-06-2926-53/+245
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The __libc_freeres framework does not extend to non-libc.so objects. This causes problems in general for valgrind and mtrace detecting unfreed objects in both libdl.so and libpthread.so. This change is a pre-requisite to properly moving the malloc hooks out of malloc since such a move now requires precise accounting of all allocated data before destructors are run. This commit adds a proper hook in libc.so.6 for both libdl.so and for libpthread.so, this ensures that shm-directory.c which uses freeit () to free memory is called properly. We also remove the nptl_freeres hook and fall back to using weak-ref-and-check idiom for a loaded libpthread.so, thus making this process similar for all DSOs. Lastly we follow best practice and use explicit free calls for both libdl.so and libpthread.so instead of the generic hook process which has undefined order. Tested on x86_64 with no regressions.

* elf: Accept absolute (SHN_ABS) symbols whose value is zero [BZ #23307]Maciej W. Rozycki2018-06-296-2/+85
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have this condition in `check_match' (in elf/dl-lookup.c): if (__glibc_unlikely ((sym->st_value == 0 /* No value. */ && stt != STT_TLS) || ELF_MACHINE_SYM_NO_MATCH (sym) || (type_class & (sym->st_shndx == SHN_UNDEF)))) return NULL; which causes all !STT_TLS symbols whose value is zero to be silently ignored in lookup. This may make sense for regular symbols, however not for absolute (SHN_ABS) ones, where zero is like any value, there's no special meaning attached to it. Consequently legitimate programs fail, for example taking the `elf/tst-absolute-sym' test case, substituting 0 for 0x55aa in `elf/tst-absolute-sym-lib.lds' and then trying to run the resulting program we get this: $ .../elf/tst-absolute-sym .../elf/tst-absolute-sym: symbol lookup error: .../elf/tst-absolute-sym-lib.so: undefined symbol: absolute $ even though the symbol clearly is there: $ readelf --dyn-syms .../elf/tst-absolute-sym-lib.so | grep '\babsolute\b' 7: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT ABS absolute $ The check for the zero value has been there since forever or commit d66e34cd4234/08162fa88891 ("Implemented runtime dynamic linker to support ELF shared libraries.") dating back to May 2nd 1995, and the problem triggers regardless of commit e7feec374c63 ("elf: Correct absolute (SHN_ABS) symbol run-time calculation [BZ #19818]") being present or not.

* manual: Revise crypt.texi.Zack Weinberg2018-06-2918-226/+426

A few highlights of the content changes: - Throughout the manual, public headers, and user-visible messages, I replaced the term "password" with "passphrase", the term "password database" with "user database", and the term "encrypt(ion)" with "(one-way) hashing" whenever it was applied to passphrases. I didn't bother making this change in internal code or tests. The use of the term "password" in ruserpass.c survives, because that refers to a keyword in netrc files, but it is adjusted to make this clearer. There is a note in crypt.texi explaining that they were traditionally called passwords but single words are not good enough anymore, and a note in users.texi explaining that actual passphrase hashes are found in a "shadow" database nowadays. - There is a new short introduction to the "Cryptographic Functions" section, explaining how we do not intend to be a general-purpose cryptography library, and cautioning that there _are_, or have been, legal restrictions on the use of cryptography in many countries, without getting into any kind of detail that we can't promise to keep up to date. - I added more detail about what a "one-way function" is, and why they are used to obscure passphrases for storage. I removed the paragraph saying that systems not connected to a network need no user authentication, because that's a pretty rare situation nowadays. (It still says "sometimes it is necessary" to authenticate the user, though.) - I added documentation for all of the hash functions that glibc actually supports, but not for the additional hash functions supported by libxcrypt. If we're going to keep this manual section around after the transition is more advanced, it would probably make sense to add them then. - There is much more detailed discussion of how to generate a salt, and the failure behavior for crypt is documented. (Returning an invalid hash on failure is what libxcrypt does; Solar Designer's notes say that this was done "for compatibility with old programs that assume crypt can never fail".) - As far as I can tell, the header 'crypt.h' is entirely a GNU invention, and never existed on any other Unix lineage. The function 'crypt', however, was in Issue 1 of the SVID and is now in the XSI component of POSIX. I tried to make all of the @standards annotations consistent with this, but I'm not sure I got them perfectly right. - The genpass.c example has been improved to use getentropy instead of the current time to generate the salt, and to use a SHA-256 hash instead of MD5. It uses more random bytes than is strictly necessary because I didn't want to complicate the code with proper base64 encoding. - The testpass.c example has three hardwired hashes now, to demonstrate that different one-way functions produce different hashes for the same input. It also demonstrates how DES hashing only pays attention to the first eight characters of the input. - There is new text explaining in more detail how a CSPRNG differs from a regular random number generator, and how getentropy/getrandom are not exactly a CSPRNG. I tried not to make specific falsifiable claims here. I also tried to make the blocking/cancellation/error behavior of both getentropy and getrandom clearer.
* manual: Reorganize crypt.texi.Zack Weinberg2018-06-293-119/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation for a major revision of the documentation for crypt(_r), getentropy, and getrandom, reorganize crypt.texi. This patch does not change any text; it only deletes and moves text. The description of 'getpass' moves to terminal.texi, since all it does is read a password from the controlling terminal with echo disabled. The "Legal Problems" section of crypt.texi is dropped, and the introductory text is shifted down to the "Encrypting Passwords" section; the next patch will add some new introductory text. Also, it is no longer true that crypt.texi's top @node needs to have no pointers. That was a vestige of crypt/ being an add-on. (makeinfo itself doesn't need @node pointers anymore, but the scripts that assemble the libc manual's topmost node rely on each chapter-level node having them.)
* Disallow use of DES encryption functions in new programs.Zack Weinberg2018-06-2916-303/+142
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The functions encrypt, setkey, encrypt_r, setkey_r, cbc_crypt, ecb_crypt, and des_setparity should not be used in new programs, because they use the DES block cipher, which is unacceptably weak by modern standards. Demote all of them to compatibility symbols, and remove their prototypes from installed headers. cbc_crypt, ecb_crypt, and des_setparity were already compat symbols when glibc was configured with --disable-obsolete-rpc. POSIX requires encrypt and setkey to be available when _XOPEN_CRYPT is defined, so this change also removes the definition of X_OPEN_CRYPT from <unistd.h>. The entire "DES Encryption" section is dropped from the manual, as is the mention of AUTH_DES and FIPS 140-2 in the introduction to crypt.texi. The documentation of 'memfrob' cross-referenced the DES Encryption section, which is replaced by a hyperlink to libgcrypt, and while I was in there I spruced up the actual documentation of 'memfrob' and 'strfry' a little. It's still fairly jokey, because those functions _are_ jokes, but they do also have real use cases, so people trying to use them for real should have all the information they need. DES-based authentication for Sun RPC is also insecure and should be deprecated or even removed, but maybe that can be left as TI-RPC's problem.

* getifaddrs: Don't return ifa entries with NULL names [BZ #21812]Daniel Alvarez2018-06-292-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lookup operation in map_newlink could turn into an insert because of holes in the interface part of the map. This leads to incorrectly set the name of the interface to NULL when the interface is not present for the address being processed (most likely because the interface was added between the RTM_GETLINK and RTM_GETADDR calls to the kernel). When such changes are detected by the kernel, it'll mark the dump as "inconsistent" by setting NLM_F_DUMP_INTR flag on the next netlink message. This patch checks this condition and retries the whole operation. Hopes are that next time the interface corresponding to the address entry is present in the list and correct name is returned.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes nptl/sockperf.c, an unused, x86-specific program with a hardcoded path in /tmp. If someone finds some of this code in future for adding a proper benchmark, that does not of course rule out adding it back in that form, but for now I think it's best to eliminate this code with the hardcoded /tmp path. Tested for x86_64. * nptl/sockperf.c: Remove file.
