* Revert "Detect ld.so and libc.so version inconsistency during startup"Florian Weimer2022-08-251-0/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 6f85dbf102ad7982409ba0fe96886caeb6389fef. Once this change hits the release branches, it will require relinking of all statically linked applications before static dlopen works again, for the majority of updates on release branches: The NEWS file is regularly updated with bug references, so the __libc_early_init suffix changes, and static dlopen cannot find the function anymore. While this ABI check is still technically correct (we do require rebuilding & relinking after glibc updates to keep static dlopen working), it is too drastic for stable release branches.

* Detect ld.so and libc.so version inconsistency during startupFlorian Weimer2022-08-241-41/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The files NEWS, include/link.h, and sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h contribute to the version fingerprint used for detection. The fingerprint can be further refined using the --with-extra-version-id configure argument. _dl_call_libc_early_init is replaced with _dl_lookup_libc_early_init. The new function is used store a pointer to libc.so's __libc_early_init function in the libc_map_early_init member of the ld.so namespace structure. This function pointer can then be called directly, so the separate invocation function is no longer needed. The versioned symbol lookup needs the symbol versioning data structures, so the initialization of libc_map and libc_map_early_init is now done from _dl_check_map_versions, after this information becomes available. (_dl_map_object_from_fd does not set this up in time, so the initialization code had to be moved from there.) This means that the separate initialization code can be removed from dl_main because _dl_check_map_versions covers all maps, including the initial executable loaded by the kernel. The lookup still happens before relocation and the invocation of IFUNC resolvers, so IFUNC resolvers are protected from ABI mismatch. The __libc_early_init function pointer is not protected because so little code runs between the pointer write and the invocation (only dynamic linker code and IFUNC resolvers).

* elf: Add initial flag argument to __libc_early_initFlorian Weimer2020-04-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | The rseq initialization should happen only for the libc in the base namespace (in the dynamic case) or the statically linked libc. The __libc_multiple_libcs flag does not quite cover this case at present, so this commit introduces a flag argument to __libc_early_init, indicating whether the libc being libc is the primary one (of the main program).

* elf: Implement __libc_early_initFlorian Weimer2020-04-241-0/+41
This function is defined in libc.so, and the dynamic loader calls right after relocation has been finished, before any ELF constructors or the preinit function is invoked. It is also used in the static build for initializing parts of the static libc. To locate __libc_early_init, a direct symbol lookup function is used, _dl_lookup_direct. It does not search the entire symbol scope and consults merely a single link map. This function could also be used to implement lookups in the vDSO (as an optimization). A per-namespace variable (libc_map) is added for locating libc.so, to avoid repeated traversals of the search scope. It is similar to GL(dl_initfirst). An alternative would have been to thread a context argument from _dl_open down to _dl_map_object_from_fd (where libc.so is identified). This could have avoided the global variable, but the change would be larger as a result. It would not have been possible to use this to replace GL(dl_initfirst) because that global variable is used to pass the function pointer past the stack switch from dl_main to the main program. Replacing that requires adding a new argument to _dl_init, which in turn needs changes to the architecture-specific libc.so startup code written in assembler. __libc_early_init should not be used to replace _dl_var_init (as it exists today on some architectures). Instead, _dl_lookup_direct should be used to look up a new variable symbol in libc.so, and that should then be initialized from the dynamic loader, immediately after the object has been loaded in _dl_map_object_from_fd (before relocation is run). This way, more IFUNC resolvers which depend on these variables will work. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
