* misc: Optimize internal usage of __libc_single_threadedAdhemerval Zanella2022-06-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By adding an internal alias to avoid the GOT indirection. On some architecture, __libc_single_thread may be accessed through copy relocations and thus it requires to update also the copies default copy. This is done by adding a new internal macro, libc_hidden_data_{proto,def}, which has an addition argument that specifies the alias name (instead of default __GI_ one). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Fangrui Song <maskray@google.com>
* Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrightsPaul Eggert2022-01-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I used these shell commands: ../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright (cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]") and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning: copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO. I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h, support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not. remote: *** 912-#endif remote: *** 913: remote: *** 914- remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found ... remote: *** error: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/statx_cp.c: trailing lines

* nptl: Move elision implementations into libcFlorian Weimer2021-02-231-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The elision interfaces are closely aligned between the targets that implement them, so declare them in the generic <lowlevellock.h> file. Empty .c stubs are provided, so that fewer makefile updates under sysdeps are needed. Also simplify initialization via __libc_early_init. The symbols __lll_clocklock_elision, __lll_lock_elision, __lll_trylock_elision, __lll_unlock_elision, __pthread_force_elision move into libc. For the time being, non-hidden references are used from libpthread to access them, but once that part of libpthread is moved into libc, hidden symbols will be used again. (Hidden references seem desirable to reduce the likelihood of transactions aborts.)

* Replace __libc_multiple_libcs with __libc_initial flagFlorian Weimer2020-12-161-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change sbrk to fail for !__libc_initial (in the generic implementation). As a result, sbrk is (relatively) safe to use for the __libc_initial case (from the main libc). It is therefore no longer necessary to avoid using it in that case (or updating the brk cache), and the __libc_initial flag does not need to be updated as part of dlmopen or static dlopen. As before, direct brk system calls on Linux may lead to memory corruption. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
* Linux: Remove rseq supportFlorian Weimer2020-07-161-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel ABI is not finalized, and there are now various proposals to change the size of struct rseq, which would make the glibc ABI dependent on the version of the kernels used for building glibc. This is of course not acceptable. This reverts commit 48699da1c468543ade14777819bd1b4d652709de ("elf: Support at least 32-byte alignment in static dlopen"), commit 8f4632deb3545b2949cec5454afc3cb21a0024ea ("Linux: rseq registration tests"), commit 6e29cb3f61ff5432c78a1c84b0d9b123a350ab36 ("Linux: Use rseq in sched_getcpu if available"), and commit 0c76fc3c2b346dc5401dc055d97d4279632b0fb3 ("Linux: Perform rseq registration at C startup and thread creation"), resolving the conflicts introduced by the ARC port and the TLS static surplus changes.

* Add the __libc_single_threaded variableFlorian Weimer2020-07-061-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The variable is placed in libc.so, and it can be true only in an outer libc, not libcs loaded via dlmopen or static dlopen. Since thread creation from inner namespaces does not work, pthread_create can update __libc_single_threaded directly. Using __libc_early_init and its initial flag, implementation of this variable is very straightforward. A future version may reset the flag during fork (but not in an inner namespace), or after joining all threads except one. Reviewed-by: DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com>
* Linux: Perform rseq registration at C startup and thread creationMathieu Desnoyers2020-07-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Register rseq TLS for each thread (including main), and unregister for each thread (excluding main). "rseq" stands for Restartable Sequences. See the rseq(2) man page proposed here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/19/647 Those are based on glibc master branch commit 3ee1e0ec5c. The rseq system call was merged into Linux 4.18. The TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS define is increased to leave additional room for dlopen'd initial-exec TLS, which keeps elf/tst-auditmany working. The increase (76 bytes) is larger than 32 bytes because it has not been increased in quite a while. The cost in terms of additional TLS storage is quite significant, but it will also obscure some initial-exec-related dlopen failures.
* elf: Add initial flag argument to __libc_early_initFlorian Weimer2020-04-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | 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/+27
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>
