| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The glibc.tune namespace is vaguely named since it is a 'tunable', so give it a more specific name that describes what it refers to. Rename the tunable namespace to 'cpu' to more accurately reflect what it encompasses.

* Remove redundant mention of SXID_ERASESiddhesh Poyarekar2017-12-151-10/+1
| | | | | | | SXID_ERASE is implicit for all environment variables. Avoid mentioning it in the tunables list; that way only the ones with SXID_IGNORE remain prominent and mentioned. TODO: we need to audit each of those cases and drop them to SXID_ERASE wherever possible.
* Add elision tunablesRogerio Alves2017-12-051-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled, and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2]. Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64. [1] This part of the patch was initially proposed by Paul Murphy but was "staled" because the framework have changed since the patch was originally proposed: https://patchwork.sourceware.org/patch/10342/ [2] This part of the patch was inititally proposed as a RFC by Carlos O'Donnell.

* tunables: Add IFUNC selection and cache sizesH.J. Lu2017-06-201-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current IFUNC selection is based on microbenchmarks in glibc. It should give the best performance for most workloads. But other choices may have better performance for a particular workload or on the hardware which wasn't available at the selection was made. The environment variable, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.ifunc=-xxx,yyy,-zzz...., can be used to enable CPU/ARCH feature yyy, disable CPU/ARCH feature yyy and zzz, where the feature name is case-sensitive and has to match the ones in cpu-features.h. It can be used by glibc developers to override the IFUNC selection to tune for a new processor or improve performance for a particular workload. It isn't intended for normal end users. NOTE: the IFUNC selection may change over time. Please check all multiarch implementations when experimenting. Also, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_non_temporal_threshold=NUMBER is provided to set threshold to use non temporal store to NUMBER, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_data_cache_size=NUMBER to set data cache size, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_shared_cache_size=NUMBER to set shared cache size. * elf/dl-tunables.list (tune): Add ifunc, x86_non_temporal_threshold, x86_data_cache_size and x86_shared_cache_size. * manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.ifunc, glibc.tune.x86_data_cache_size, glibc.tune.x86_shared_cache_size and glibc.tune.x86_non_temporal_threshold. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/dl-sysdep.c: New file. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-tunables.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86/cacheinfo.c (init_cacheinfo): Check and get data cache size, shared cache size and non temporal threshold from cpu_features. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c [HAVE_TUNABLES] (TUNABLE_NAMESPACE): New.

* tunables: Add LD_HWCAP_MASK to tunablesSiddhesh Poyarekar2017-06-071-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add LD_HWCAP_MASK to tunables in preparation of it being removed from rtld.c. This allows us to read LD_HWCAP_MASK much earlier so that it can influence IFUNC resolution in aarch64. This patch does not actually do anything other than read the LD_HWCAP_MASK variable and add the tunables way to set the LD_HWCAP_MASK, i.e. via the glibc.tune.hwcap_mask tunable. In a follow-up patch, the _dl_hwcap_mask will be replaced with glibc.tune.hwcap_mask to complete the transition. * elf/dl-tunables.list: Add glibc.tune.hwcap_mask. * scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Include dl-procinfo.h. * manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.

* tunables: Fix environment variable processing for setuid binaries (bz #21073)Siddhesh Poyarekar2017-02-021-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tunables: Avoid getenv calls and disable glibc.malloc.check by defaultSiddhesh Poyarekar2017-01-101-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Builds with --enable-tunables failed on i686 because a call to getenv got snuck into tunables, which pulled in strncmp. This patch fixes this build failure by making the glibc.malloc.check check even simpler. The previous approach was convoluted where the tunable was disabled using an unsetenv and overwriting the tunable value with colons. The easier way is to simply mark the tunable as insecure by default (i.e. won't be read for AT_SECURE programs) and then enabled only when the /etc/suid-debug file is found. This also ends up removing a bunch of functions that were specially reimplemented (strlen, unsetenv) to avoid calling into string routines. Tested on x86_64 and i686. * elf/dl-tunables.c (tunables_unsetenv): Remove function. (min_strlen): Likewise. (disable_tunable): Likewise. (maybe_disable_malloc_check): Rename to maybe_enable_malloc_check. (maybe_enable_malloc_check): Enable glibc.malloc.check tunable if /etc/suid-debug file exists. (__tunables_init): Update caller. * elf/dl-tunables.list (glibc.malloc.check): Don't mark as secure.

* Add framework for tunablesSiddhesh Poyarekar2016-12-311-0/+69
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.
