During the review of a GCC analyzer test case, we found most stdio
functions accepting a FILE * argument expect it to be nonnull and just
segfault when the argument is NULL. Add nonnull attribute for them.
fflush and fflush_unlocked are well defined when __stream is NULL so
they are not touched.
For fputs, fgets, fread, fwrite, fprintf, vfprintf, and their unlocked
version, if __stream is empty but there is nothing to read or write,
they did not segfault. But the standard disallow __stream to be empty
here, so nonnull attribute is also added for them. Note that this may
blow up some old code already subtly broken.
Also add __nonnull for _chk variants and __fortify_function versions for
them.

Since the _FORTIFY_SOURCE feature uses some routines of Glibc, they need to
be excluded from the fortification.
On top of that:
- some tests explicitly verify that some level of fortification works
appropriately, we therefore shouldn't modify the level set for them.
- some objects need to be build with optimization disabled, which
prevents _FORTIFY_SOURCE to be used for them.
Assembler files that implement architecture specific versions of the
fortified routines were not excluded from _FORTIFY_SOURCE as there is no
C header included that would impact their behavior.

Calling fclose or freopen with a null FILE * is undefined behavior, and

Instead of using a special ELF section along with a linker script
directive to put the IO vtables within the RELRO section, the libio
vtables are all moved to an array marked as data.relro (so linker

C2x adds binary integer constants starting with 0b or 0B, and supports
those constants for the %i scanf format (in addition to the %b format,
which isn't yet implemented for scanf in glibc). Implement that scanf
support for glibc.
As with the strtol support, this is incompatible with previous C
standard versions, in that such an input string starting with 0b or 0B
was previously required to be parsed as 0 (with the rest of the input
potentially matching subsequent parts of the scanf format string).
Thus this patch adds 12 new __isoc23_* functions per long double
format (12, 24 or 36 depending on how many long double formats the
glibc configuration supports), with appropriate header redirection
support (generally very closely following that for the __isoc99_*
scanf functions - note that __GLIBC_USE (DEPRECATED_SCANF) takes
precedence over __GLIBC_USE (C2X_STRTOL), so the case of GNU
extensions to C89 continues to get old-style GNU %a and does not get
this new feature). The function names would remain as __isoc23_* even
if C2x ends up published in 2024 rather than 2023.
When scanf %b support is added, I think it will be appropriate for all
versions of scanf to follow C2x rules for inputs to the %b format
(given that there are no compatibility concerns for a new format).
Tested for x86_64 (full glibc testsuite). The first version was also
tested for powerpc (32-bit) and powerpc64le (stdio-common/ and wcsmbs/
tests), and with build-many-glibcs.py.

vfprintf is entangled with vfwprintf (of course), __printf_fp,
__printf_fphex, __vstrfmon_l_internal, and the strfrom family of
functions. The latter use the internal snprintf functionality,
so vsnprintf is converted as well.
The simples conversion is __printf_fphex, followed by
__vstrfmon_l_internal and __printf_fp, and finally
__vfprintf_internal and __vfwprintf_internal. __vsnprintf_internal
and strfrom* are mostly consuming the new interfaces, so they
are comparatively simple.
__printf_fp is a public symbol, so the FILE *-based interface
had to preserved.
The __printf_fp rewrite does not change the actual binary-to-decimal
conversion algorithm, and digits are still not emitted directly to
the target buffer. However, the staging buffer now uses bytes
instead of wide characters, and one buffer copy is eliminated.
The changes are at least performance-neutral in my testing.
Floating point printing and snprintf improved measurably, so that
this Lua script
for i=1,5000000 do
print(i, i * math.pi)
end
runs about 5% faster for me. To preserve fprintf performance for
a simple "%d" format, this commit has some logic changes under
LABEL (unsigned_number) to avoid additional function calls. There
are certainly some very easy performance improvements here: binary,
octal and hexadecimal formatting can easily avoid the temporary work
buffer (the number of digits can be computed ahead-of-time using one
of the __builtin_clz* built-ins). Decimal formatting can use a
specialized version of _itoa_word for base 10.
The existing (inconsistent) width handling between strfmon and printf
is preserved here. __print_fp_buffer_1 would have to use
__translated_number_width to achieve ISO conformance for printf.
Test expectations in libio/tst-vtables-common.c are adjusted because
the internal staging buffer merges all virtual function calls into
one.
In general, stack buffer usage is greatly reduced, particularly for
unbuffered input streams. __printf_fp can still use a large buffer
in binary128 mode for %g, though.

Assembler sources are more difficult to convert. In many cases,
they are hand-optimized for the mangling and no-mangling variants,

are special: These are C sources, but most of the implementation is

Fix [BZ #27087] by applying all long double-related asm redirections
before using functions in bits/stdio.h.
However, as these asm redirections depend on the declarations provided
by libio/bits/stdio2.h, this header was split in 2:
- libio/bits/stdio2-decl.h contains all function declarations;
- libio/bits/stdio2.h remains with the remaining contents, including
redirections.

In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3, the size expression may be non-constant,
resulting in branches in the inline functions remaining intact and
causing a tiny overhead. Clang (and in future, gcc) make sure that
the -1 case is always safe, i.e. any comparison of the generated
expression with (size_t)-1 is always false so that bit is taken care
of. The rest is avoidable since we want the _chk variant whenever we
have a size expression and it's not -1.
Rework the conditionals in a uniform way to clearly indicate two
conditions at compile time:
- Either the size is unknown (-1) or we know at compile time that the
operation length is less than the object size. We can call the
original function in this case. It could be that either the length,
object size or both are non-constant, but the compiler, through
range analysis, is able to fold the *comparison* to a constant.
- The size and length are known and the compiler can see at compile
time that operation length > object size. This is valid grounds for
a warning at compile time, followed by emitting the _chk variant.
For everything else, emit the _chk variant.
This simplifies most of the fortified function implementations and at
the same time, ensures that only one call from _chk or the regular
function is emitted.

In the context of a function definition, the size hints imply that the
size of an object pointed to by one parameter is another parameter.
This doesn't make sense for the fortified versions of the functions
since that's the bit it's trying to validate.
This is harmless with __builtin_object_size since it has fairly simple
semantics when it comes to objects passed as function parameters.
With __builtin_dynamic_object_size we could (as my patchset for gcc[1]
already does) use the access attribute to determine the object size in
the general case but it misleads the fortified functions.
Basically the problem occurs when access attributes are present on
regular functions that have inline fortified definitions to generate
_chk variants; the attributes get inherited by these definitions,
causing problems when analyzing them. For example with poll(fds, nfds,
timeout), nfds is hinted using the __attr_access as being the size of
fds.
Now, when analyzing the inline function definition in bits/poll2.h, the
compiler sees that nfds is the size of fds and tries to use that
information in the function body. In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 case, where the
object size could be a non-constant expression, this information results
in the conclusion that nfds is the size of fds, which defeats the
purpose of the implementation because we're trying to check here if nfds
does indeed represent the size of fds. Hence for this case, it is best
to not have the access attribute.
With the attributes gone, the expression evaluation should get delayed
until the function is actually inlined into its destinations.
Disable the access attribute for fortified function inline functions
when building at _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 to make this work better. The
access attributes remain for the _chk variants since they can be used
by the compiler to warn when the caller is passing invalid arguments.

C2X adds a macro _PRINTF_NAN_LEN_MAX to <stdio.h>, giving the maximum
length of printf output for a NaN. glibc never includes an
n-char-sequence in its printf output for NaNs, so the correct value
for glibc is 4 ("-nan" or "-NAN"); define the macro accordingly.
This patch makes the macro definition conditional on __GLIBC_USE
(ISOC2X), as is generally done with features from new standard
versions. The name is in the implementation namespace for older
standards, so it would also be possible to define it unconditionally.
Tested for x86_64.

We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

Remove all malloc hook uses from core malloc functions and move it
into a new library libc_malloc_debug.so. With this, the hooks now no
longer have any effect on the core library.
libc_malloc_debug.so is a malloc interposer that needs to be preloaded
to get hooks functionality back so that the debugging features that
depend on the hooks, i.e. malloc-check, mcheck and mtrace work again.
Without the preloaded DSO these debugging features will be nops.
These features will be ported away from hooks in subsequent patches.
Similarly, legacy applications that need hooks functionality need to
preload libc_malloc_debug.so.
The symbols exported by libc_malloc_debug.so are maintained at exactly
the same version as libc.so.
Finally, static binaries will no longer be able to use malloc
debugging features since they cannot preload the debugging DSO.
