* malloc: Do not use MAP_NORESERVE to allocate heap segmentsFlorian Weimer2022-08-152-8/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Address space for heap segments is reserved in a mmap call with MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE and protection flags PROT_NONE. This reservation does not count against the RSS limit of the process or system. Backing memory is allocated using mprotect in alloc_new_heap and grow_heap, and at this point, the allocator expects the kernel to provide memory (subject to memory overcommit). The SIGSEGV that might generate due to MAP_NORESERVE (according to the mmap manual page) does not seem to occur in practice, it's always SIGKILL from the OOM killer. Even if there is a way that SIGSEGV could be generated, it is confusing to applications that this only happens for secondary heaps, not for large mmap-based allocations, and not for the main arena.

* assert: Do not use stderr in libc-internal assertFlorian Weimer2022-08-031-16/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Redirect internal assertion failures to __libc_assert_fail, based on based on __libc_message, which writes directly to STDERR_FILENO and calls abort. Also disable message translation and reword the error message slightly (adjusting stdlib/tst-bz20544 accordingly). As a result of these changes, malloc no longer needs its own redefinition of __assert_fail. __libc_assert_fail needs to be stubbed out during rtld dependency analysis because the rtld rebuilds turn __libc_assert_fail into __assert_fail, which is unconditionally provided by elf/dl-minimal.c. This change is not possible for the public assert macro and its __assert_fail function because POSIX requires that the diagnostic is written to stderr.

* stdlib: Add arc4random, arc4random_buf, and arc4random_uniform (BZ #4417)Adhemerval Zanella Netto2022-07-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The implementation is based on scalar Chacha20 with per-thread cache. It uses getrandom or /dev/urandom as fallback to get the initial entropy, and reseeds the internal state on every 16MB of consumed buffer. To improve performance and lower memory consumption the per-thread cache is allocated lazily on first arc4random functions call, and if the memory allocation fails getentropy or /dev/urandom is used as fallback. The cache is also cleared on thread exit iff it was initialized (so if arc4random is not called it is not touched). Although it is lock-free, arc4random is still not async-signal-safe (the per thread state is not updated atomically). The ChaCha20 implementation is based on RFC8439 [1], omitting the final XOR of the keystream with the plaintext because the plaintext is a stream of zeros. This strategy is similar to what OpenBSD arc4random does. The arc4random_uniform is based on previous work by Florian Weimer, where the algorithm is based on Jérémie Lumbroso paper Optimal Discrete Uniform Generation from Coin Flips, and Applications (2013) [2], who credits Donald E. Knuth and Andrew C. Yao, The complexity of nonuniform random number generation (1976), for solving the general case. The main advantage of this method is the that the unit of randomness is not the uniform random variable (uint32_t), but a random bit. It optimizes the internal buffer sampling by initially consuming a 32-bit random variable and then sampling byte per byte. Depending of the upper bound requested, it might lead to better CPU utilization. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, aarch64-linux, and powerpc64le-linux-gnu.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current limit on MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD is either 1 Mbyte (for 32-bit apps) or 32 Mbytes (for 64-bit apps). This value was set by a patch dated 2006 (15 years ago). Attempts to set the threshold higher are currently ignored. The default behavior is appropriate for many highly parallel applications where many processes or threads are sharing RAM. In other situations where the number of active processes or threads closely matches the number of cores, a much higher limit may be desired by the application designer. By today's standards on personal computers and small servers, 2 Gbytes of RAM per core is commonly available. On larger systems 4 Gbytes or more of RAM is sometimes available. Instead of raising the limit to match current needs, this patch proposes to remove the limit of the tunable, leaving the decision up to the user of a tunable to judge the best value for their needs. This patch does not change any of the defaults for malloc tunables, retaining the current behavior of the dynamic malloc mmap threshold. bugzilla 27801 - Remove upper limit on tunable MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD Reviewed-by: DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com> malloc/ malloc.c changed do_set_mmap_threshold to remove test for HEAP_MAX_SIZE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the morecore hook removed, there is not easy way to provide huge pages support on with glibc allocator without resorting to transparent huge pages. And some users and programs do prefer to use the huge pages directly instead of THP for multiple reasons: no splitting, re-merging by the VM, no TLB shootdowns for running processes, fast allocation from the reserve pool, no competition with the rest of the processes unlike THP, no swapping all, etc. This patch extends the 'glibc.malloc.hugetlb' tunable: the value '2' means to use huge pages directly with the system default size, while a positive value means and specific page size that is matched against the supported ones by the system. Currently only memory allocated on sysmalloc() is handled, the arenas still uses the default system page size.

The 'never' is self-explanatory and 'always' will enable THP for all anonymous pages. However, 'madvise' is still the default for some system and for such case THP will be only used if the memory range is explicity advertise by the program through a madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) call. To enable it a new tunable is provided, 'glibc.malloc.hugetlb', where setting to a value diffent than 0 enables the madvise call. This patch issues the madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) call after a successful mmap() call at sysmalloc() with sizes larger than the default huge page size. The madvise() call is disable is system does not support THP or if it has the mode set to "never" and on Linux only support one page size for THP, even if the architecture supports multiple sizes.

So use the DIAG_* macros to disable -Waggressive-loop-optimizations around the calls in question to dynarray_long_resize and dynarray_long_noscratch_resize in this test.

* Add alloc_align attribute to memalign et alJonathan Wakely2021-10-211-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GCC 4.9.0 added the alloc_align attribute to say that a function argument specifies the alignment of the returned pointer. Clang supports the attribute too. Using the attribute can allow a compiler to generate better code if it knows the returned pointer has a minimum alignment. See https://gcc.gnu.org/PR60092 for more details. GCC implicitly knows the semantics of aligned_alloc and posix_memalign, but not the obsolete memalign. As a result, GCC generates worse code when memalign is used, compared to aligned_alloc. Clang knows about aligned_alloc and memalign, but not posix_memalign. This change adds a new __attribute_alloc_align__ macro to <sys/cdefs.h> and then uses it on memalign (where it helps GCC) and aligned_alloc (where GCC and Clang already know the semantics, but it doesn't hurt) and xposix_memalign. It can't be used on posix_memalign because that doesn't return a pointer (the allocated pointer is returned via a void** parameter instead). Unlike the alloc_size attribute, alloc_align only allows a single argument. That means the new __attribute_alloc_align__ macro doesn't really need to be used with double parentheses to protect a comma between its arguments. For consistency with __attribute_alloc_size__ this patch defines it the same way, so that double parentheses are required.

* Remove "Contributed by" linesSiddhesh Poyarekar2021-09-0317-20/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/b5ecac94eabfd72ed2916d6d8157e7dc https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/15ea1f5e435ace9774f485030695ee02 Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
* mtrace: Fix output with PIE and ASLR [BZ #22716]Siddhesh Poyarekar2021-08-232-11/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Record only the relative address of the caller in mtrace file. Use LD_TRACE_PRELINKING to get the executable as well as binary vs executable load offsets so that we may compute a base to add to the relative address in the mtrace file. This allows us to get a valid address to pass to addr2line in all cases. Fixes BZ #22716.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove unused code and declare __libc_mallopt when !IS_IN (libc) to allow the debug hook to build with --disable-tunables. Also, run tst-ifunc-isa-2* tests only when tunables are enabled since the result depends on it. Tested on x86_64.
