* tunables: Fix environment variable processing for setuid binaries (bz #21073)Siddhesh Poyarekar2017-02-021-5/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Florian Weimer pointed out that we have three different kinds of environment variables (and hence tunables): 1. Variables that are removed for setxid processes 2. Variables that are ignored in setxid processes but is passed on to child processes 3. Variables that are passed on to child processes all the time Tunables currently only does (2) and (3) when it should be doing (1) for MALLOC_CHECK_. This patch enhances the is_secure flag in tunables to an enum value that can specify which of the above three categories the tunable (and its envvar alias) belongs to. The default is for tunables to be in (1). Hence, all of the malloc tunables barring MALLOC_CHECK_ are explicitly specified to belong to category (2). There were discussions around abolishing category (2) completely but we can do that as a separate exercise in 2.26. Tested on x86_64 to verify that there are no regressions. [BZ #21073] * elf/dl-tunable-types.h (tunable_seclevel_t): New enum. * elf/dl-tunables.c (tunables_strdup): Remove. (get_next_env): Also return the previous envp. (parse_tunables): Erase tunables of category TUNABLES_SECLEVEL_SXID_ERASE. (maybe_enable_malloc_check): Make MALLOC_CHECK_ TUNABLE_SECLEVEL_NONE if /etc/setuid-debug is accessible. (__tunables_init)[TUNABLES_FRONTEND == TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring]: Update GLIBC_TUNABLES envvar after parsing. [TUNABLES_FRONTEND != TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring]: Erase tunable envvars of category TUNABLES_SECLEVEL_SXID_ERASE. * elf/dl-tunables.h (struct _tunable): Change member is_secure to security_level. * elf/dl-tunables.list: Add security_level annotations for all tunables. * scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Recognize and generate enum values for security_level. * elf/tst-env-setuid.c: New test case. * elf/tst-env-setuid-tunables: new test case. * elf/Makefile (tests-static): Add them.

* Enhance --enable-tunables to select tunables frontend at build timeSiddhesh Poyarekar2016-12-311-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the GNU Tools Cauldron 2016, the state of the current tunables patchset was considered OK with the addition of a way to select the frontend to be used for the tunables. That is, to avoid being locked in to one type of frontend initially, it should be possible to build tunables with a different frontend with something as simple as a configure switch. To that effect, this patch enhances the --enable-tunables option to accept more values than just 'yes' or 'no'. The current frontend (and default when enable-tunables is 'yes') is called 'valstring', to select the frontend where a single environment variable is set to a colon-separated value string. More such frontends can be added in future. * Makeconfig (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive. * configure.ac: Add 'valstring' as a valid value for --enable-tunables. * configure: Regenerate. * elf/Makefile (have-tunables): Check for non-negative instead of positive. (CPPFLAGS-dl-tunables.c): Define TUNABLES_FRONTEND for dl-tunables.c. * elf/dl-tunables.c (GLIBC_TUNABLES): Define only when TUNABLES_FRONTEND == TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring. (tunables_strdup): Likewise. (disable_tunables): Likewise. (parse_tunables): Likewise. (__tunables_init): Process GLIBC_TUNABLES envvar only when. TUNABLES_FRONTEND == TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring. * elf/dl-tunables.h (TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring): New macro. (TUNABLES_FRONTEND_yes): New macro, define as TUNABLES_FRONTEND_valstring by default. * manual/install.texi: Document new acceptable values for --enable-tunables. * INSTALL: Regenerate.
* Add framework for tunablesSiddhesh Poyarekar2016-12-311-0/+88
The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables. Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the compatibility interface. * manual/install.texi: Add --enable-tunables option. * INSTALL: Regenerate. * README.tunables: New file. * Makeconfig (CPPFLAGS): Define TOP_NAMESPACE. (before-compile): Generate dl-tunable-list.h early. * config.h.in: Add HAVE_TUNABLES. * config.make.in: Add have-tunables. * configure.ac: Add --enable-tunables option. * configure: Regenerate. * csu/init-first.c (__libc_init_first): Move __libc_init_secure earlier... * csu/init-first.c (LIBC_START_MAIN):... to here. Include dl-tunables.h, libc-internal.h. (LIBC_START_MAIN) [!SHARED]: Initialize tunables for static binaries. * elf/Makefile (dl-routines): Add dl-tunables. * elf/Versions (ld): Add __tunable_set_val to GLIBC_PRIVATE namespace. * elf/dl-support (_dl_nondynamic_init): Unset MALLOC_CHECK_ only when !HAVE_TUNABLES. * elf/rtld.c (process_envvars): Likewise. * elf/dl-sysdep.c [HAVE_TUNABLES]: Include dl-tunables.h (_dl_sysdep_start): Call __tunables_init. * elf/dl-tunable-types.h: New file. * elf/dl-tunables.c: New file. * elf/dl-tunables.h: New file. * elf/dl-tunables.list: New file. * malloc/tst-malloc-usable-static.c: New test case. * malloc/Makefile (tests-static): Add it. * malloc/arena.c [HAVE_TUNABLES]: Include dl-tunables.h. Define TUNABLE_NAMESPACE. (DL_TUNABLE_CALLBACK (set_mallopt_check)): New function. (DL_TUNABLE_CALLBACK_FNDECL): New macro. Use it to define callback functions. (ptmalloc_init): Set tunable values. * scripts/gen-tunables.awk: New file. * sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c: Include dl-tunables.h. (_dl_sysdep_start): Call __tunables_init.
