* manual: Update documentation of strerror and related functionsFlorian Weimer2023-07-031-26/+98
| | | | | | | | | | | | The current implementation of strerror is thread-safe, but this has implications for the lifetime of the return string. Describe the strerror_l function. Describe both variants of the strerror_r function. Mention the lifetime of the returned string for strerrorname_np and strerrordesc_np. Clarify that perror output depends on the current locale.

* C2x scanf %b supportJoseph Myers2023-06-191-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | ISO C2x defines scanf %b for input of binary integers (with an optional 0b or 0B prefix). Implement such support, along with the corresponding SCNb* macros in <inttypes.h>. Unlike the support for binary integers with 0b or 0B prefix with scanf %i, this is supported in all versions of scanf (independent of the standards mode used for compilation), because there are no backwards compatibility concerns (%b wasn't previously a supported format) the way there were for %i. Tested for x86_64 and x86.
* C2x printf %wN, %wfN support (bug 24466)Joseph Myers2023-06-191-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ISO C2x defines printf length modifiers wN (for intN_t / int_leastN_t / uintN_t / uint_leastN_t) and wfN (for int_fastN_t / uint_fastN_t). Add support for those length modifiers (such a feature was previously requested in bug 24466). scanf support is to be added separately. GCC 13 has format checking support for these modifiers. When used with the support for registering format specifiers, these modifiers are translated to existing flags in struct printf_info, rather than trying to add some way of distinguishing them without breaking the printf_info ABI. C2x requires an error to be returned for unsupported values of N; this is implemented for printf-family functions, but the parse_printf_format interface doesn't support error returns, so such an error gets discarded by that function. Tested for x86_64 and x86.

* Enable libmvec support for AArch64Joe Ramsay2023-05-031-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables libmvec on AArch64. The proposed change is mainly implementing build infrastructure to add the new routines to ABI, tests and benchmarks. I have demonstrated how this all fits together by adding implementations for vector cos, in both single and double precision, targeting both Advanced SIMD and SVE. The implementations of the routines themselves are just loops over the scalar routine from libm for now, as we are more concerned with getting the plumbing right at this point. We plan to contribute vector routines from the Arm Optimized Routines repo that are compliant with requirements described in the libmvec wiki. Building libmvec requires minimum GCC 10 for SVE ACLE. To avoid raising the minimum GCC by such a big jump, we allow users to disable libmvec if their compiler is too old. Note that at this point users have to manually call the vector math functions. This seems to be acceptable to some downstream users. Reviewed-by: Szabolcs Nagy <szabolcs.nagy@arm.com>
* riscv: Resolve symbols directly for symbols with STO_RISCV_VARIANT_CC.Hsiangkai Wang2023-04-281-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases, we do not want to go through the resolver for function calls. For example, functions with vector arguments will use vector registers to pass arguments. In the resolver, we do not save/restore the vector argument registers for lazy binding efficiency. To avoid ruining the vector arguments, functions with vector arguments will not go through the resolver. To achieve the goal, we will annotate the function symbols with STO_RISCV_VARIANT_CC flag and add DT_RISCV_VARIANT_CC tag in the dynamic section. In the first pass on PLT relocations, we do not set up to call _dl_runtime_resolve. Instead, we resolve the functions directly.

* Update printf %b/%B C2x supportJoseph Myers2023-03-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WG14 recently accepted two additions to the printf/scanf %b/%B support: there are now PRIb* and SCNb* macros in <inttypes.h>, and printf %B is now an optional feature defined in normative text, instead of recommended practice, with corresponding PRIB* macros that can also be used to test whether that optional feature is supported. See N3072 items 14 and 15 for details (those changes were accepted, some other changes in that paper weren't). Add the corresponding PRI* macros to glibc and update one place in the manual referring to %B as recommended. (SCNb* should naturally be added at the same time as the corresponding scanf %b support.) Tested for x86_64 and x86.
* C2x scanf binary constant handlingJoseph Myers2023-03-021-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* x86-64: Add glibc.cpu.prefer_map_32bit_exec [BZ #28656]H.J. Lu2023-02-221-9/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Crossing 2GB boundaries with indirect calls and jumps can use more branch prediction resources on Intel Golden Cove CPU (see the "Misprediction for Branches >2GB" section in Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Optimization Reference Manual.) There is visible performance improvement on workloads with many PLT calls when executable and shared libraries are mmapped below 2GB. Add the Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC bit so that mmap will try to map executable or denywrite pages in shared libraries with MAP_32BIT first. NB: Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC reduces bits available for address space layout randomization (ASLR), which is always disabled for SUID programs and can only be enabled by the tunable, glibc.cpu.prefer_map_32bit_exec, or the environment variable, LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC. This works only between shared libraries or between shared libraries and executables with addresses below 2GB. PIEs are usually loaded at a random address above 4GB by the kernel.
* gmon: improve mcount overflow handling [BZ# 27576]Simon Kissane2023-02-221-0/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When mcount overflows, no gmon.out file is generated, but no message is printed to the user, leaving the user with no idea why, and thinking maybe there is some bug - which is how BZ 27576 ended up being logged. Print a message to stderr in this case so the user knows what is going on. As a comment in sys/gmon.h acknowledges, the hardcoded MAXARCS value is too small for some large applications, including the test case in that BZ. Rather than increase it, add tunables to enable MINARCS and MAXARCS to be overridden at runtime (glibc.gmon.minarcs and glibc.gmon.maxarcs). So if a user gets the mcount overflow error, they can try increasing maxarcs (they might need to increase minarcs too if the heuristic is wrong in their case.) Note setting minarcs/maxarcs too large can cause monstartup to fail with an out of memory error. If you set them large enough, it can cause an integer overflow in calculating the buffer size. I haven't done anything to defend against that - it would not generally be a security vulnerability, since these tunables will be ignored in suid/sgid programs (due to the SXID_ERASE default), and if you can set GLIBC_TUNABLES in the environment of a process, you can take it over anyway (LD_PRELOAD, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc). I thought about modifying the code of monstartup to defend against integer overflows, but doing so is complicated, and I realise the existing code is susceptible to them even prior to this change (e.g. try passing a pathologically large highpc argument to monstartup), so I decided just to leave that possibility in-place. Add a test case which demonstrates mcount overflow and the tunables. Document the new tunables in the manual. Signed-off-by: Simon Kissane <skissane@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com>
* C2x strtol binary constant handlingJoseph Myers2023-02-161-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | C2x adds binary integer constants starting with 0b or 0B, and supports those constants in strtol-family functions when the base passed is 0 or 2. Implement that strtol support for glibc. As discussed at <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-December/120414.html>, 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 string unprocessed). Thus, as proposed there, this patch adds 20 new __isoc23_* functions with appropriate header redirection support. This patch does *not* do anything about scanf %i (which will need 12 new functions per long double variant, so 12, 24 or 36 depending on the glibc configuration), instead leaving that for a future patch. The function names would remain as __isoc23_* even if C2x ends up published in 2024 rather than 2023. Making this change leads to the question of what should happen to internal uses of these functions in glibc and its tests. The header redirection (which applies for _GNU_SOURCE or any other feature test macros enabling C2x features) has the effect of redirecting internal uses but without those uses then ending up at a hidden alias (see the comment in include/stdio.h about interaction with libc_hidden_proto). It seems desirable for the default for internal uses to be the same versions used by normal code using _GNU_SOURCE, so rather than doing anything to disable that redirection, similar macro definitions to those in include/stdio.h are added to the include/ headers for the new functions. Given that the default for uses in glibc is for the redirections to apply, the next question is whether the C2x semantics are correct for all those uses. Uses with the base fixed to 10, 16 or any other value other than 0 or 2 can be ignored. I think this leaves the following internal uses to consider (an important consideration for review of this patch will be both whether this list is complete and whether my conclusions on all entries in it are correct): benchtests/bench-malloc-simple.c benchtests/bench-string.h elf/sotruss-lib.c math/libm-test-support.c nptl/perf.c nscd/nscd_conf.c nss/nss_files/files-parse.c posix/tst-fnmatch.c posix/wordexp.c resolv/inet_addr.c rt/tst-mqueue7.c soft-fp/testit.c stdlib/fmtmsg.c support/support_test_main.c support/test-container.c sysdeps/pthread/tst-mutex10.c I think all of these places are OK with the new semantics, except for resolv/inet_addr.c, where the POSIX semantics of inet_addr do not allow for binary constants; thus, I changed that file (to use __strtoul_internal, whose semantics are unchanged) and added a test for this case. In the case of posix/wordexp.c I think accepting binary constants is OK since POSIX explicitly allows additional forms of shell arithmetic expressions, and in stdlib/fmtmsg.c SEV_LEVEL is not in POSIX so again I think accepting binary constants is OK. Functions such as __strtol_internal, which are only exported for compatibility with old binaries from when those were used in inline functions in headers, have unchanged semantics; the __*_l_internal versions (purely internal to libc and not exported) have a new argument to specify whether to accept binary constants. As well as for the standard functions, the header redirection also applies to the *_l versions (GNU extensions), and to legacy functions such as strtoq, to avoid confusing inconsistency (the *q functions redirect to __isoc23_*ll rather than needing their own __isoc23_* entry points). For the functions that are only declared with _GNU_SOURCE, this means the old versions are no longer available for normal user programs at all. An internal __GLIBC_USE_C2X_STRTOL macro is used to control the redirections in the headers, and cases in glibc that wish to avoid the redirections - the function implementations themselves and the tests of the old versions of the GNU functions - then undefine and redefine that macro to allow the old versions to be accessed. (There would of course be greater complexity should we wish to make any of the old versions into compat symbols / avoid them being defined at all for new glibc ABIs.) strtol_l.c has some similarity to strtol.c in gnulib, but has already diverged some way (and isn't listed at all at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/SharedSourceFiles unlike strtoll.c and strtoul.c); I haven't made any attempts at gnulib compatibility in the changes to that file. I note incidentally that inttypes.h and wchar.h are missing the __nonnull present on declarations of this family of functions in stdlib.h; I didn't make any changes in that regard for the new declarations added.
* S390: Influence hwcaps/stfle via GLIBC_TUNABLES.Stefan Liebler2023-02-071-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables the option to influence hwcaps and stfle bits used by the s390 specific ifunc-resolvers. The currently x86-specific tunable glibc.cpu.hwcaps is also used on s390x to achieve the task. In addition the user can also set a CPU arch-level like z13 instead of single HWCAP and STFLE features. Note that the tunable only handles the features which are really used in the IFUNC-resolvers. All others are ignored as the values are only used inside glibc. Thus we can influence: - HWCAP_S390_VXRS (z13) - HWCAP_S390_VXRS_EXT (z14) - HWCAP_S390_VXRS_EXT2 (z15) - STFLE_MIE3 (z15) The influenced hwcap/stfle-bits are stored in the s390-specific cpu_features struct which also contains reserved fields for future usage. The ifunc-resolvers and users of stfle bits are adjusted to use the information from cpu_features struct. On 31bit, the ELF_MACHINE_IRELATIVE macro is now also defined. Otherwise the new ifunc-resolvers segfaults as they depend on the not yet processed_rtld_global_ro@GLIBC_PRIVATE relocation.
