* arc4random: simplify design for better safetyJason A. Donenfeld2022-07-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than buffering 16 MiB of entropy in userspace (by way of chacha20), simply call getrandom() every time. This approach is doubtlessly slower, for now, but trying to prematurely optimize arc4random appears to be leading toward all sorts of nasty properties and gotchas. Instead, this patch takes a much more conservative approach. The interface is added as a basic loop wrapper around getrandom(), and then later, the kernel and libc together can work together on optimizing that. This prevents numerous issues in which userspace is unaware of when it really must throw away its buffer, since we avoid buffering all together. Future improvements may include userspace learning more from the kernel about when to do that, which might make these sorts of chacha20-based optimizations more possible. The current heuristic of 16 MiB is meaningless garbage that doesn't correspond to anything the kernel might know about. So for now, let's just do something conservative that we know is correct and won't lead to cryptographic issues for users of this function. This patch might be considered along the lines of, "optimization is the root of all evil," in that the much more complex implementation it replaces moves too fast without considering security implications, whereas the incremental approach done here is a much safer way of going about things. Once this lands, we can take our time in optimizing this properly using new interplay between the kernel and userspace. getrandom(0) is used, since that's the one that ensures the bytes returned are cryptographically secure. But on systems without it, we fallback to using /dev/urandom. This is unfortunate because it means opening a file descriptor, but there's not much of a choice. Secondly, as part of the fallback, in order to get more or less the same properties of getrandom(0), we poll on /dev/random, and if the poll succeeds at least once, then we assume the RNG is initialized. This is a rough approximation, as the ancient "non-blocking pool" initialized after the "blocking pool", not before, and it may not port back to all ancient kernels, though it does to all kernels supported by glibc (≥3.2), so generally it's the best approximation we can do. The motivation for including arc4random, in the first place, is to have source-level compatibility with existing code. That means this patch doesn't attempt to litigate the interface itself. It does, however, choose a conservative approach for implementing it.

* stdlib: Add arc4random, arc4random_buf, and arc4random_uniform (BZ #4417)Adhemerval Zanella Netto2022-07-221-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The implementation is based on scalar Chacha20 with per-thread cache. It uses getrandom or /dev/urandom as fallback to get the initial entropy, and reseeds the internal state on every 16MB of consumed buffer. To improve performance and lower memory consumption the per-thread cache is allocated lazily on first arc4random functions call, and if the memory allocation fails getentropy or /dev/urandom is used as fallback. The cache is also cleared on thread exit iff it was initialized (so if arc4random is not called it is not touched). Although it is lock-free, arc4random is still not async-signal-safe (the per thread state is not updated atomically). The ChaCha20 implementation is based on RFC8439 [1], omitting the final XOR of the keystream with the plaintext because the plaintext is a stream of zeros. This strategy is similar to what OpenBSD arc4random does. The arc4random_uniform is based on previous work by Florian Weimer, where the algorithm is based on Jérémie Lumbroso paper Optimal Discrete Uniform Generation from Coin Flips, and Applications (2013) [2], who credits Donald E. Knuth and Andrew C. Yao, The complexity of nonuniform random number generation (1976), for solving the general case. The main advantage of this method is the that the unit of randomness is not the uniform random variable (uint32_t), but a random bit. It optimizes the internal buffer sampling by initially consuming a 32-bit random variable and then sampling byte per byte. Depending of the upper bound requested, it might lead to better CPU utilization. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux, and powerpc64le-linux-gnu.

* stdlib: Implement mbrtoc8, c8rtomb, and the char8_t typedef.Tom Honermann2022-07-061-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change provides implementations for the mbrtoc8 and c8rtomb functions adopted for C++20 via WG21 P0482R6 and for C2X via WG14 N2653.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* 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

* math: Fix float conversion regressions with gcc-12 [BZ #28713]Szabolcs Nagy2022-01-101-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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). This can change the computed result and cause performance regression. The known correctness issues (increased ulp errors) are already fixed, this patch fixes remaining cases of unnecessary runtime conversions. Add float M_* macros to math.h as new GNU extension API. To avoid conversions the new M_* macros are used and instead of casting double literals to float, use float literals (only required if the conversion is inexact). The patch was tested on aarch64 where the following symbols had new spurious conversion instructions that got fixed: __clog10f __gammaf_r_finite@GLIBC_2.17 __j0f_finite@GLIBC_2.17 __j1f_finite@GLIBC_2.17 __jnf_finite@GLIBC_2.17 __kernel_casinhf __lgamma_negf __log1pf __y0f_finite@GLIBC_2.17 __y1f_finite@GLIBC_2.17 cacosf cacoshf casinhf catanf catanhf clogf gammaf_positive Fixes bug 28713.

* debug: Remove catchsegv and libSegfault (BZ #14913)Adhemerval Zanella2022-01-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Trapping SIGSEGV within the process is error-prone, adds security issues, and modern analysis design tends to happen out of the process (either by attaching a debugger or by post-mortem analysis). The libSegfault also has some design problems, it uses non async-signal-safe function (backtrace) on signal handler. There are multiple alternatives if users do want to use similar functionality, such as sigsegv gnulib module or libsegfault.

* 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.

* elf: Avoid unnecessary slowdown from profiling with audit (BZ#15533)Adhemerval Zanella2021-12-281-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rtld-audit interfaces introduces a slowdown due to enabling profiling instrumentation (as if LD_AUDIT implied LD_PROFILE). However, instrumenting is only necessary if one of audit libraries provides PLT callbacks (la_pltenter or la_pltexit symbols). Otherwise, the slowdown can be avoided. 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. To keep la_symbind to work even without PLT callbacks, _dl_fixup now calls the audit callback if the modules implements it.

* malloc: Add Huge Page support for mmapAdhemerval Zanella2021-12-151-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the morecore hook removed, there is not easy way to provide huge pages support on with glibc allocator without resorting to transparent huge pages. 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 test is a new rule is added tests-malloc-hugetlb2, which run the addes tests with the required GLIBC_TUNABLE setting. On systems without a reserved huge pages pool, is just stress the mmap(MAP_HUGETLB) allocation failure. To improve test coverage it is required to create a pool with some allocated pages.
