* fix dynamic loader library mapping for nommu systemsRich Felker2015-11-113-4/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on linux/nommu, non-writable private mappings of files may actually use memory shared with other processes or the fs cache. the old nommu loader code (used when mmap with MAP_FIXED fails) simply wrote over top of the original file mapping, possibly clobbering this shared memory. no such breakage was observed in practice, but it should have been possible. the new code starts by mapping anonymous writable memory on archs that might support nommu, then maps load segments over top of it, falling back to read if MAP_FIXED fails. we use an anonymous map rather than a writable file map to avoid reading more data from disk than needed. since pages cannot be loaded lazily on fault, in case of large data/bss, mapping the full file may read a lot of data that will subsequently be thrown away when processing additional LOAD segments. as a result, we cannot skip the first LOAD segment when operating in this mode. these changes affect only non-FDPIC nommu support.
* fix return value of nl_langinfo for invalid item argumentsRich Felker2015-11-101-5/+5
| | | | it was wrongly returning a null pointer instead of an empty string.
* explicitly assemble all arm asm sources as UALRich Felker2015-11-1017-0/+20
| | | | | | | | these files are all accepted as legacy arm syntax when producing arm code, but legacy syntax cannot be used for producing thumb2 with access to the full ISA. even after switching to UAL, some asm source files contain instructions which are not valid in thumb mode, so these will need to be addressed separately.
* remove non-working pre-armv4t support from arm asmRich Felker2015-11-099-31/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the idea of the three-instruction sequence being removed was to be able to return to thumb code when used on armv4t+ from a thumb caller, but also to be able to run on armv4 without the bx instruction available (in which case the low bit of lr would always be 0). however, without compiler support for generating such a sequence from C code, which does not exist and which there is unlikely to be interest in implementing, there is little point in having it in the asm, and it would likely be easier to add pre-armv4t support via enhanced linker handling of R_ARM_V4BX than at the compiler level. removing this code simplifies adding support for building libc in thumb2-only form (for cortex-m).
* use vfp mnemonics rather than hard-coded opcodes in arm setjmp/longjmpRich Felker2015-11-092-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the code to save/restore vfp registers needs to build even when the configured target does not have fpu; this is because code using vfp fpu (but with the standard soft-float EABI) may call a libc built for a soft-float only, and the EABI considers these registers call-saved when they exist. thus, extra directives are used to force the assembler to allow vfp instructions and to avoid marking the resulting object files as requiring vfp. moving away from using hard-coded opcode words is necessary in order to eventually support producing thumb2-only output for cortex-m. conditional execution of these instructions based on hwcap flags was already implemented. when building for arm (non-thumb) output, the only currently-supported configuration, this commit does not change the code emitted.
* work around toolchains with broken visibility in libgcc/libpccRich Felker2015-11-071-0/+5

* use vfp mnemonics instead of p10 coprocessor ones in armhf fenv asmSzabolcs Nagy2015-11-051-10/+10
| | | | | mrc/mcr p10 coprocessor mnemonics are deprecated by some toolchains.
* convert arm memcpy asm to UAL, remove .word hacksRich Felker2015-11-051-22/+24
| | | | | contrary to commit 9367fe926196f407705bb07cd29c6e40eb1774dd, all relevant gas versions actually do support .syntax unified.
* remove external linkage from __simple_malloc definitionRich Felker2015-11-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | this function is used only as a weak definition for malloc, for static linking in programs which do not call realloc or free. since it had external linkage and was thereby exported in libc.so's dynamic symbol table, --gc-sections was unable to drop it. this was merely an oversight; there's no reason for it to be external, so make it static.
* have configure check/add --gc-sections linker optionRich Felker2015-11-041-0/+4
| | | | | | | | this allowing the linker to drop certain weak definitions that are only used as dummies for static linking. they could be eliminated for shared library builds using the preprocessor instead, but we are trying to transition to using the same object files for shared and static libc, so a link-time solution is preferable.
* have configure check/add linker options to reduce size lost to paddingRich Felker2015-11-041-0/+6
| | | | | | based on patch by Denys Vlasenko. sorting sections and common data symbols by alignment acts as an approximation for optimal packing, which the linker does not actually support.
* have configure check/add -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sectionsRich Felker2015-11-041-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | based on patch by Denys Vlasenko. the original intent for using these options was to enable linking optimizations. these are immediately available for static linking applications to libc.a, and will also be used for linking libc.so in a subsequent commit. in addition to the original motives, this change works around a whole class of toolchain bugs where the compiler generates relative address expressions using a weak symbol and the assembler "optimizes out" the relocation which should result by using the weak definition. (see gas pr 18561 and gcc pr 66609, 68178, etc. for examples.) by having different functions and data objects in their own sections, all relative address expressions are cross-section and thus cannot be resolved to constants until link time. this allows us to retain support for affected compiler/assembler versions without invasive and fragile source-level workarounds.
* fix mismatched parens in CMPLX def for annex-g-conforming compilersRich Felker2015-11-021-1/+1
| | | | | this conditional path was never tested because there are no compilers that conform to annex g (none with _Imaginary_I).
* generalize sh entry point asm not to assume call dests fit in 12 bitsRich Felker2015-11-021-5/+12
| | | | | | this assumption is borderline-unsafe to begin with, and fails badly with -ffunction-sections since the linker can move the callee arbitrarily far away when it lies in a different section.
* keep user-provided CFLAGS/LDFLAGS separate from those added by configureRich Felker2015-11-022-6/+12
| | | | | | this way, overriding these variables on the make command line (or just re-passing the originally-passed values when invoking make) won't suppress use of the flags added by configure.
* fix mremap memory synchronization and use of variadic argumentRich Felker2015-11-021-4/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | since mremap with the MREMAP_FIXED flag is an operation that unmaps existing mappings, it needs to use the vm lock mechanism to ensure that any in-progress synchronization operations using vm identities from before the call have finished. also, the variadic argument was erroneously being read even if the MREMAP_FIXED flag was not passed. in practice this didn't break anything, but it's UB and in theory LTO could turn it into a hard error.
* prevent allocs than PTRDIFF_MAX via mremapDaniel Micay2015-11-021-1/+8
| | | | It's quite feasible for this to happen via MREMAP_MAYMOVE.
* use explicit __cp_cancel label in cancellable syscall asm for all archsRich Felker2015-11-028-28/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, only archs that needed to do stack cleanup defined a __cp_cancel label for acting on cancellation in their syscall asm, and a default definition was provided by a weak alias to __cancel, the C function. this resulted in wrong codegen for arm on gcc versions affected by pr 68178 and possibly similar issues (like pr 66609) on other archs, and also created an inconsistency where the __cp_begin and __cp_end labels were treated as const data but __cp_cancel was treated as a function. this in turn caused incorrect code generation on archs where function pointers point to function descriptors rather than code (for now, only sh/fdpic).
* properly access mcontext_t program counter in cancellation handlerRich Felker2015-11-0211-15/+14
| | | | | | | | | using the actual mcontext_t definition rather than an overlaid pointer array both improves correctness/readability and eliminates some ugly hacks for archs with 64-bit registers bit 32-bit program counter. also fix UB due to comparison of pointers not in a common array object.
* fix missing bss handling in FDPIC ELF loaderRich Felker2015-10-281-0/+13
| | | | | | | | when a library being loaded has bss (i.e. data segment with p_memsz>p_filesz), this region needs to be zeroed with a combination of memset and/or mmap. the regular ELF loader always did this but the FDPIC code path omitted it, leading to objects in bss having uninitialized/junk contents.
* getnameinfo: make size check not fail for bigger sizesHauke Mehrtens2015-10-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | getnameinfo() compares the size of the given struct sockaddr with sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) and sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6) depending on the net family. When you add a sockaddr of size sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) this function will fail because the size of the sockaddr is too big. Change the check that it only fails if the size is too small, but make it work when it is too big for example when someone calls this function with a struct sockaddr_storage and its size. This fixes a problem with IoTivity 1.0.0 and musl. glibc and bionic are only failing if it is smaller, net/freebsd implemented the != check. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
* safely handle failure to open hosts, services, resolv.conf filesRich Felker2015-10-263-4/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, transient failures like fd exhaustion or other resource-related errors were treated the same as non-existence of these files, leading to fallbacks or false-negative results. in particular: - failure to open hosts resulted in fallback to dns, possibly yielding EAI_NONAME for a hostname that should be defined locally, or an unwanted result from dns that the hosts file was intended to replace. - failure to open services resulted in EAI_SERVICE. - failure to open resolv.conf resulted in querying localhost rather than the configured nameservers. now, only permanent errors trigger the fallback behaviors above; all other errors are reportable to the caller as EAI_SYSTEM.
* fix single-byte overflow of malloc'd buffer in getdelimRich Felker2015-10-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | the buffer enlargement logic here accounted for the terminating null byte, but not for the possibility of hitting the delimiter in the buffer-refill code path that uses getc_unlocked, in which case two additional bytes (the delimiter and the null termination) are written without another chance to enlarge the buffer. this patch and the corresponding bug report are by Felix Janda.
* prevent user CFLAGS overrides from exposing executable stackRich Felker2015-10-231-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | the option to suppress executable stack tagging was placed in CFLAGS, which is treated as optional and overridable by the build system. if a user replaces CFLAGS after configure has run, it could get lost, resulting in a libc.so that's flagged as needing executable stack, which would cause the kernel to map the initial stack as executable. move -Wa,--noexecstack to CFLAGS_C99FSE, the make variable used for mandatory compiler options.
* fix breakage when user overrides CFLAGS on the make command lineRich Felker2015-10-221-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | these per-target CFLAGS adjustments are mandatory additions to the command line for building the affected targets, not part of the user-provided CFLAGS for tuning. my intent was always that the variable append operations would take place after user settings, but when a variable is set on the command line, it overrides all definitions in the makefile, including target-specific ones. based on patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
* release 1.1.12 v1.1.12Rich Felker2015-10-192-1/+36

* declare fpu usage to the assembler in arm hard-float asm filesSzabolcs Nagy2015-10-195-0/+6
| | | | | | | Some armhf gcc toolchains (built with --with-float=hard but without --with-fpu=vfp*) do not pass -mfpu=vfp to the assembler and then binutils rejects the UAL mnemonics for VFP unless there is an .fpu vfp directive in the asm source.
* add missing memory barrier to pthread_joinBobby Bingham2015-10-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | POSIX requires pthread_join to synchronize memory on success. The futex wait inside __timedwait_cp cannot handle this because it's not called in all cases. Also, in the case of a spurious wake, tid can become zero between the wake and when the joining thread checks it.
* fix dladdr treatment of function descriptors for fdpicRich Felker2015-10-151-9/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | when determining which module an address belongs to, all function descriptor ranges must be checked first, in case the allocated memory falls inside another module's memory range. dladdr itself must also check addresses against function descriptors before doing a best-match search against the symbol table. even when doing the latter (e.g. for code addresses obtained from mcontext_t), also check whether the best-match was a function, and if so, replace the result with a function descriptor address. which is the nominal "base address" of the function and which the caller needs if it intends to subsequently call the matching function.
* fix visibility mismatch in dynamic linker stage 2 function definitionRich Felker2015-10-152-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | since commits 2907afb8dbd4c1d34825c3c9bd2b41564baca210 and 6fc30c2493fcfedec89e45088bea87766a1e3286, __dls2 is no longer called via symbol lookup, but instead uses relative addressing that needs to be resolved at link time. on some linker versions, and/or if -Bsymbolic-functions is not used, the linker may leave behind a dynamic relocation, which is not suitable for bootstrapping the dynamic linker, if the reference to __dls2 is marked hidden but the definition is not actually hidden. correcting the definition to use hidden visibility fixes the problem. the static-PIE entry point rcrt1 was likewise affected and is also fixed by this patch.
* suppress sh assembler rejection of instructions based on isa levelRich Felker2015-10-151-0/+1
| | | | | | we need access to all instructions in order for runtime selection of atomic model to work correctly. without this patch, some versions of gcc instruct gas to reject instructions outside the target isa level.
* prevent reordering of or1k and powerpc thread pointer loadsRich Felker2015-10-152-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | other archs use asm for the thread pointer load, so making that asm volatile is sufficient to inform the compiler that it has a "side effect" (crashing or giving the wrong result if the thread pointer was not yet initialized) that prevents reordering. however, powerpc and or1k have dedicated general purpose registers for the thread pointer and did not need to use any asm to access it; instead, "local register variables with a specified register" were used. however, there is no specification for ordering constraints on this type of usage, and presumably use of the thread pointer could be reordered across its initialization. to impose an ordering, I have added empty volatile asm blocks that produce the "local register variable with a specified register" as an output constraint.
* mark arm thread-pointer-loading inline asm as volatileRich Felker2015-10-151-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | this builds on commits a603a75a72bb469c6be4963ed1b55fabe675fe15 and 0ba35d69c0e77b225ec640d2bd112ff6d9d3b2af to ensure that a compiler cannot conclude that it's valid to reorder the asm to a point before the thread pointer is set up, or to treat the inline function as if it were declared with attribute((const)). other archs already use volatile asm for thread pointer loading.
* add comment documenting hard-coded opcode for reading mips thread pointerRich Felker2015-10-151-0/+1

* remove attribute((const)) from arm __pthread_self inline functionRich Felker2015-10-151-2/+2
| | | | | commit a603a75a72bb469c6be4963ed1b55fabe675fe15 did this for the public pthread_self function but not the internal inline one.
* fix strftime handling of out-of-range struct tm fieldsRich Felker2015-10-141-8/+12
| | | | | | | | | | strftime results are unspecified in this case, but should not invoke undefined behaviour. tm_wday, tm_yday, tm_mon and tm_year fields were used in signed int arithmetic that could overflow. based on patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
* remove hand-written crt1.s and Scrt1.s files for all archsRich Felker2015-10-149-192/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | since commit c5e34dabbb47d8e97a4deccbb421e0cd93c0094b, crt1.c has provided a "mostly-C" implementation of the crt1 start file that avoids the need for arch-specific symbol referencing, PIC/PIE-specific code variants, etc. but for archs that had existing hand-written versions, the new code was initially unused, and later only used as the dynamic linker entry point. this commit switches all archs to using the new code. the code being removed was a recurring source of subtle errors, and was still broken at least on arm, where it failed to properly align the stack pointer before calling into C code.
* add CFI generation script for x86_64Alex Dowad2015-10-131-0/+196

* recognize partial register operands in i386 CFI generationAlex Dowad2015-10-131-10/+19

* fix misinterpretation of indexed memory operand in i386 CFI generationAlex Dowad2015-10-131-1/+1
| | | | | a register used as an index in the memory destination of a mov instruction was wrongly interpreted as the destination of the mov.
* fix misinterpretation of operand order in i386 CFI generationAlex Dowad2015-10-131-5/+5
| | | | binary ops like ADD, AND, etc. modify the 2nd operand, not 1st.
* fix integer overflows in time_t/struct tm conversion codeRich Felker2015-10-081-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | as found and reported by Brian Mastenbrook, the expressions 400*qc_cycles and years+100 in __secs_to_tm were both subject to integer overflow for extreme values of the input t. this patch by Szabolcs Nagy fixes the code by switching to larger types, and matches the original intent I had in mind when writing this code.
* fix open_[w]memstream behavior when no writes take placeRich Felker2015-10-082-4/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | the specification for these functions requires that the buffer/size exposed to the caller be valid after any successful call to fflush or fclose on the stream. the implementation's approach is to update them only at flush time, but that misses the case where fflush or fclose is called without any writes having taken place, in which case the write flushing callback will not be called. to fix both the observable bug and the desired invariant, setup empty buffers at open time and fail the open operation if no memory is available.
* fix instruction matching errors in i386 CFI generationAlex Dowad2015-10-081-3/+3
| | | | | | fdiv and fmul instructions were wrongly matched by the rules for integer div and mul instructions, leading to incorrect conclusions about register values being clobbered.
* factor common awk functions for CFI generation scripts into new fileAlex Dowad2015-10-083-28/+27
| | | | | | There is a lot which could be common between i386 and x86_64, but none of it will be useful for any other arch. These should be useful for all archs, however.
* make nl_langinfo(CODESET) always return "ASCII" in byte-based C localeRich Felker2015-10-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 844212d94f582c4e3c5055e0a1524931e89ebe76, which did not make it into any releases, changed nl_langinfo(CODESET) to always return "UTF-8", even in the byte-based C locale. this was problematic because application software was found to use the string match for "UTF-8" to activate its own UTF-8 processing. this both undermines the byte-based functionality of the C locale, and if mixed with with calls to the standard multibyte functions, which happened in practice, could result in severe mis-handling of input. the motive for the previous change was that, to avoid widespread compatibility problems, the string returned by nl_langinfo(CODESET) needs to be accepted by iconv and by third-party character conversion code. thus, the only remaining choice is "ASCII". this choice accurately represents the intent that high bytes do not have individual meaning in the C locale, but it does mean that iconv, when passed nl_langinfo(CODESET) in the C locale, will produce errors in cases where mbrtowc would have succeeded. for reference, glibc behaves similarly in this regard, so I don't think it will be a problem.
* fix mips fesetround failure to write back resulting modeRich Felker2015-10-011-0/+1
| | | | patch by Anand Takale.
* eliminate protected-visibility data in libc.so with vis.h preincludeRich Felker2015-09-292-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | some newer binutils versions print scary warnings about protected data because most gcc versions fail to produce the right address references/relocations for such data that might be subject to copy relocations. originally vis.h explicitly assigned default visibility to all public data symbols to avoid this issue, but commit b8dda24fe1caa901a99580f7a52defb95aedb67c removed this treatment for stdin/out/err to work around a gcc 3.x bug, and since they don't actually need it (because taking their addresses is not valid C). instead, a check for the gcc 3.x bug is added to the configure check for vis.h preinclude support; this feature will simply be disabled when using a buggy version of gcc.
* avoid attempting to lookup IP literals as hostnamesRich Felker2015-09-251-27/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, __lookup_ipliteral only checked its argument against the requested address family, so IPv4 literals passed through to __lookup_name if the caller asked for only IPv6 results, and likewise for IPv6 literals when the caller asked for only IPv4. this resulted in spurious DNS lookups that reportedly even succeeded with some nameservers. now, __lookup_ipliteral attempts to parse its argument as both IPv4 and IPv6, and returns an error (to stop further search) rather than 0 (no results yet) if the form of the argument mismatches the requested address family. based on patch by Julien Ramseier.
* make getaddrinfo return error if both host and service name are nullRich Felker2015-09-251-0/+2
| | | | | | this case is specified as a mandatory ("shall fail") error. based on patch by Julien Ramseier.
