| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was added on Linux 5.1(3eb39f47934f9d5a3027fe00d906a45fe3a15fad) as a way to avoid the race condition of using kill (where PID might be reused by the kernel between between obtaining the pid and sending the signal). If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then pidfd_send_signal is equivalent to kill. If it is not NULL pidfd_send_signal is equivalent to rt_sigqueueinfo.

* Remove kernel version checkAdhemerval Zanella2022-05-161-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel version check is used to avoid glibc to run on older kernels where some syscall are not available and fallback code are not enabled to handle graciously fail. However, it does not prevent if the kernel does not correctly advertise its version through vDSO note, uname or procfs. Also kernel version checks are sometime not desirable by users, where they want to deploy on different system with different kernel version knowing the minimum set of syscall is always presented on such systems. The kernel version check has been removed along with the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable. The minimum kernel used to built glibc is still provided through NT_GNU_ABI_TAG ELF note and also printed when libc.so is issued. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

* elf: Fix runtime linker auditing on aarch64 (BZ #26643)Ben Woodard2022-02-011-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rtld audit support show two problems on aarch64: 1. _dl_runtime_resolve does not preserve x8, the indirect result location register, which might generate wrong result calls depending of the function signature. 2. The NEON Q registers pushed onto the stack by _dl_runtime_resolve were twice the size of D registers extracted from the stack frame by _dl_runtime_profile. While 2. might result in wrong information passed on the PLT tracing, 1. generates wrong runtime behaviour. The aarch64 rtld audit support is changed to: * Both La_aarch64_regs and La_aarch64_retval are expanded to include both x8 and the full sized NEON V registers, as defined by the ABI. * dl_runtime_profile needed to extract registers saved by _dl_runtime_resolve and put them into the new correctly sized La_aarch64_regs structure. * The LAV_CURRENT check is change to only accept new audit modules to avoid the undefined behavior of not save/restore x8. * Different than other architectures, audit modules older than LAV_CURRENT are rejected (both La_aarch64_regs and La_aarch64_retval changed their layout and there are no requirements to support multiple audit interface with the inherent aarch64 issues). * A new field is also reserved on both La_aarch64_regs and La_aarch64_retval to support variant pcs symbols. Similar to x86, a new La_aarch64_vector type to represent the NEON register is added on the La_aarch64_regs (so each type can be accessed directly). Since LAV_CURRENT was already bumped to support bind-now, there is no need to increase it again. Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The audit symbind callback is not called for binaries built with -Wl,-z,now or when LD_BIND_NOW=1 is used, nor the PLT tracking callbacks (plt_enter and plt_exit) since this would change the expected program semantics (where no PLT is expected) and would have performance implications (such as for BZ#15533). LAV_CURRENT is also bumped to indicate the audit ABI change (where la_symbind flags are set by the loader to indicate no possible PLT trace). To handle powerpc64 ELFv1 function descriptor, _dl_audit_symbind requires to know whether bind-now is used so the symbol value is updated to function text segment instead of the OPD (for lazy binding this is done by PPC64_LOAD_FUNCPTR on _dl_runtime_resolve).

* posix: Add terminal control setting support for posix_spawnAdhemerval Zanella2022-01-251-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently there is no proper way to set the controlling terminal through posix_spawn in race free manner [1]. This forces shell implementations to keep using fork+exec when launching background process groups, even when using posix_spawn yields better performance. This patch adds a new GNU extension so the creating process can configure the created process terminal group. This is done with a new flag, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP, along with two new attribute functions: posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np, and posix_spawnattr_tcgetpgrp_np. The function sets a new attribute, spawn-tcgroupfd, that references to the controlling terminal. The controlling terminal is set after the spawn-pgroup attribute, and uses the spawn-tcgroupfd along with current creating process group (so it is composable with POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP). To create a process and set the controlling terminal, one can use the following sequence: posix_spawnattr_t attr; posix_spawnattr_init (&attr); posix_spawnattr_setflags (&attr, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP); posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np (&attr, tcfd); If the idea is also to create a new process groups: posix_spawnattr_t attr; posix_spawnattr_init (&attr); posix_spawnattr_setflags (&attr, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP | POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP); posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np (&attr, tcfd); posix_spawnattr_setpgroup (&attr, 0); The controlling terminal file descriptor is ignored if the new flag is not set. This interface is slight different than the one provided by QNX [2], which only provides the POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP flag. The QNX documentation does not specify how the controlling terminal is obtained nor how it iteracts with POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP. Since a glibc implementation is library based, it is more straightforward and avoid requires additional file descriptor operations to request the caller to setup the controlling terminal file descriptor (and it also allows a bit less error handling by posix_spawn).

* getcwd: Set errno to ERANGE for size == 1 (CVE-2021-3999)Siddhesh Poyarekar2022-01-241-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | No valid path returned by getcwd would fit into 1 byte, so reject the size early and return NULL with errno set to ERANGE. This change is prompted by CVE-2021-3999, which describes a single byte buffer underflow and overflow when all of the following conditions are met: - The buffer size (i.e. the second argument of getcwd) is 1 byte - The current working directory is too long - '/' is also mounted on the current working directory Sequence of events: - In sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getcwd.c, the syscall returns ENAMETOOLONG because the linux kernel checks for name length before it checks buffer size - The code falls back to the generic getcwd in sysdeps/posix - In the generic func, the buf[0] is set to '\0' on line 250 - this while loop on line 262 is bypassed: while (!(thisdev == rootdev && thisino == rootino)) since the rootfs (/) is bind mounted onto the directory and the flow goes on to line 449, where it puts a '/' in the byte before the buffer. - Finally on line 458, it moves 2 bytes (the underflowed byte and the '\0') to the buf[0] and buf[1], resulting in a 1 byte buffer overflow. - buf is returned on line 469 and errno is not set.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Converting double precision constants to float is now affected by the runtime dynamic rounding mode instead of being evaluated at compile time with default rounding mode (except static object initializers).

* elf: Add _dl_find_object functionFlorian Weimer2021-12-281-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It can be used to speed up the libgcc unwinder, and the internal _dl_find_dso_for_object function (which is used for caller identification in dlopen and related functions, and in dladdr). _dl_find_object is in the internal namespace due to bug 28503. If libgcc switches to _dl_find_object, this namespace issue will be fixed. It is located in libc for two reasons: it is necessary to forward the call to the static libc after static dlopen, and there is a link ordering issue with -static-libgcc and libgcc_eh.a because libc.so is not a linker script that includes ld.so in the glibc build tree (so that GCC's internal -lc after libgcc_eh.a does not pick up ld.so). It is necessary to do the i386 customization in the sysdeps/x86/bits/dl_find_object.h header shared with x86-64 because otherwise, multilib installations are broken. The implementation uses software transactional memory, as suggested by Torvald Riegel. Two copies of the supporting data structures are used, also achieving full async-signal-safety.

The following patch adjusts the logic that enables profiling to iterate over all audit modules and check if any of those provides a PLT hook.

And some users and programs do prefer to use the huge pages directly instead of THP for multiple reasons: no splitting, re-merging by the VM, no TLB shootdowns for running processes, fast allocation from the reserve pool, no competition with the rest of the processes unlike THP, no swapping all, etc. This patch extends the 'glibc.malloc.hugetlb' tunable: the value '2' means to use huge pages directly with the system default size, while a positive value means and specific page size that is matched against the supported ones by the system. Currently only memory allocated on sysmalloc() is handled, the arenas still uses the default system page size.

To enable it a new tunable is provided, 'glibc.malloc.hugetlb', where setting to a value diffent than 0 enables the madvise call. This patch issues the madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) call after a successful mmap() call at sysmalloc() with sizes larger than the default huge page size. The madvise() call is disable is system does not support THP or if it has the mode set to "never" and on Linux only support one page size for THP, even if the architecture supports multiple sizes.

Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent building programs as PIE. Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default because they do not work at the moment. hppa, ia64, alpha and csky don't work because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation generated from PIE objects. The microblaze compiler is currently failing with an ICE. GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does not work and hence fails. All these targets have default PIE disabled at the moment and I have left it to the target maintainers to enable PIE on their targets. build-many-glibcs runs clean for all targets. I also tested x86_64 on Fedora and Ubuntu, to verify that the default build as well as --disable-default-pie work as expected with both system toolchains.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The relationship between the thread pointer and the rseq area is made explicit. The constant offset can be used by JIT compilers to optimize rseq access (e.g., for really fast sched_getcpu). Extensibility is provided through __rseq_size and __rseq_flags. (In the future, the kernel could request a different rseq size via the auxiliary vector.)

* elf: execve statically linked programs instead of crashing [BZ #28648]Florian Weimer2021-12-051-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Programs without dynamic dependencies and without a program interpreter are now run via execve. Previously, the dynamic linker either crashed while attempting to read a non-existing dynamic segment (looking for DT_AUDIT/DT_DEPAUDIT data), or the self-relocated in the static PIE executable crashed because the outer dynamic linker had already applied RELRO protection. <dl-execve.h> is needed because execve is not available in the dynamic loader on Hurd.

* Support C2X printf %b, %BJoseph Myers2021-11-101-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | C2X adds a printf %b format (see <http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2630.pdf>, accepted for C2X), for outputting integers in binary. It also has recommended practice for a corresponding %B format (like %b, but %#B starts the output with 0B instead of 0b). Add support for these formats to glibc. One existing test uses %b as an example of an unknown format, to test how glibc printf handles unknown formats; change that to %v. Use of %b and %B as user-registered format specifiers continues to work (and we already have a test that covers that, tst-printfsz.c). Note that C2X also has scanf %b support, plus support for binary constants starting 0b in strtol (base 0 and 2) and scanf %i (strtol base 0 and scanf %i coming from a previous paper that added binary integer literals). I intend to implement those features in a separate patch or patches; as discussed in the thread starting at <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-December/120414.html>, they will be more complicated because they involve adding extra public symbols to ensure compatibility with existing code that might not expect 0b constants to be handled by strtol base 0 and 2 and scanf %i, whereas simply adding a new format specifier poses no such compatibility concerns. Note that the actual conversion from integer to string uses existing code in _itoa.c. That code has special cases for bases 8, 10 and 16, probably so that the compiler can optimize division by an integer constant in the code for those bases. If desired such special cases could easily be added for base 2 as well, but that would be an optimization, not actually needed for these printf formats to work. Tested for x86_64 and x86. Also tested with build-many-glibcs.py for aarch64-linux-gnu with GCC mainline to make sure that the test does indeed build with GCC 12 (where format checking warnings are enabled for most of the test).

* elf: Fix slow DSO sorting behavior in dynamic loader (BZ #17645)Chung-Lin Tang2021-10-211-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This second patch contains the actual implementation of a new sorting algorithm for shared objects in the dynamic loader, which solves the slow behavior that the current "old" algorithm falls into when the DSO set contains circular dependencies. The new algorithm implemented here is simply depth-first search (DFS) to obtain the Reverse-Post Order (RPO) sequence, a topological sort. A new l_visited:1 bitfield is added to struct link_map to more elegantly facilitate such a search. The DFS algorithm is applied to the input maps[nmap-1] backwards towards maps[0]. This has the effect of a more "shallow" recursion depth in general since the input is in BFS. Also, when combined with the natural order of processing l_initfini[] at each node, this creates a resulting output sorting closer to the intuitive "left-to-right" order in most cases. Another notable implementation adjustment related to this _dl_sort_maps change is the removing of two char arrays 'used' and 'done' in _dl_close_worker to represent two per-map attributes. This has been changed to simply use two new bit-fields l_map_used:1, l_map_done:1 added to struct link_map. This also allows discarding the clunky 'used' array sorting that _dl_sort_maps had to sometimes do along the way. Tunable support for switching between different sorting algorithms at runtime is also added. A new tunable 'glibc.rtld.dynamic_sort' with current valid values 1 (old algorithm) and 2 (new DFS algorithm) has been added. At time of commit of this patch, the default setting is 1 (old algorithm). Signed-off-by: Chung-Lin Tang <cltang@codesourcery.com> Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>

* Add C2X _PRINTF_NAN_LEN_MAXJoseph Myers2021-09-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | C2X adds a macro _PRINTF_NAN_LEN_MAX to <stdio.h>, giving the maximum length of printf output for a NaN. glibc never includes an n-char-sequence in its printf output for NaNs, so the correct value for glibc is 4 ("-nan" or "-NAN"); define the macro accordingly. This patch makes the macro definition conditional on __GLIBC_USE (ISOC2X), as is generally done with features from new standard versions. The name is in the implementation namespace for older standards, so it would also be possible to define it unconditionally. Tested for x86_64.
