* support configurable page size on mips, powerpc and microblazeSzabolcs Nagy2013-09-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PAGE_SIZE was hardcoded to 4096, which is historically what most systems use, but on several archs it is a kernel config parameter, user space can only know it at execution time from the aux vector. PAGE_SIZE and PAGESIZE are not defined on archs where page size is a runtime parameter, applications should use sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE) to query it. Internally libc code defines PAGE_SIZE to libc.page_size, which is set to aux[AT_PAGESZ] in __init_libc and early in __dynlink as well. (Note that libc.page_size can be accessed without GOT, ie. before relocations are done) Some fpathconf settings are hardcoded to 4096, these should be actually queried from the filesystem using statfs.
* add system for resetting TLS to initial valuesRich Felker2013-08-032-14/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this is needed for reused threads in the SIGEV_THREAD timer notification system, and could be reused elsewhere in the future if needed, though it should be refactored for such use. for static linking, __init_tls.c is simply modified to export the TLS info in a structure with external linkage, rather than using statics. this perhaps makes the code more clear, since the statics were poorly named for statics. the new __reset_tls.c is only linked if it is used. for dynamic linking, the code is in dynlink.c. sharing code with __copy_tls is not practical since __reset_tls must also re-zero thread-local bss.
* remove __libc_csu_* cruftRich Felker2013-07-212-10/+0
| | | | | | | these functions were mistakenly assumed to be needed to match glibc ABI, but glibc has them as part of the non-shared part of libc that's always statically linked into the main program. moreover, the only place they are referenced from is glibc's crt1.o.
* add support for init/fini array in main program, and greatly simplifyRich Felker2013-07-211-13/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | modern (4.7.x and later) gcc uses init/fini arrays, rather than the legacy _init/_fini function pasting and crtbegin/crtend ctors/dtors system, on most or all archs. some archs had already switched a long time ago. without following this change, global ctors/dtors will cease to work under musl when building with new gcc versions. the most surprising part of this patch is that it actually reduces the size of the init code, for both static and shared libc. this is achieved by (1) unifying the handling main program and shared libraries in the dynamic linker, and (2) eliminating the glibc-inspired rube goldberg machine for passing around init and fini function pointers. to clarify, some background: the function signature for __libc_start_main was based on glibc, as part of the original goal of being able to run some glibc-linked binaries. it worked by having the crt1 code, which is linked into every application, static or dynamic, obtain and pass pointers to the init and fini functions, which __libc_start_main is then responsible for using and recording for later use, as necessary. however, in neither the static-linked nor dynamic-linked case do we actually need crt1.o's help. with dynamic linking, all the pointers are available in the _DYNAMIC block. with static linking, it's safe to simply access the _init/_fini and __init_array_start, etc. symbols directly. obviously changing the __libc_start_main function signature in an incompatible way would break both old musl-linked programs and glibc-linked programs, so let's not do that. instead, the function can just ignore the information it doesn't need. new archs need not even provide the useless args in their versions of crt1.o. existing archs should continue to provide it as long as there is an interest in having newly-linked applications be able to run on old versions of musl; at some point in the future, this support can be removed.
* fix omission of dtv setup in static linked programs on TLS variant I archsRich Felker2013-07-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | apparently this was never noticed before because the linker normally optimizes dynamic TLS models to non-dynamic ones when static linking, thus eliminating the calls to __tls_get_addr which crash when the dtv is missing. however, some libsupc++ code on ARM was calling __tls_get_addr when static linked and crashing. the reason is unclear to me, but with this issue fixed it should work now anyway.
* add support for program_invocation[_short]_nameRich Felker2013-04-061-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | this is a bit ugly, and the motivation for supporting it is questionable. however the main factors were: 1. it will be useful to have this for certain internal purposes anyway -- things like syslog. 2. applications can just save argv[0] in main, but it's hard to fix non-portable library code that's depending on being able to get the invocation name without the main application's help.
* remove unused #undef environ now that libc.h no longer #defines itRich Felker2013-02-171-1/+0

* fix reference to libc struct in static tls init codeRich Felker2012-12-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | libc is the macro, __libc is the internal symbol, but under some configurations on old/broken compilers, the symbol might not actually exist and the libc macro might instead use __libc_loc() to obtain access to the object.
* fix ordering of shared library ctors with respect to libc initRich Felker2012-11-301-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, shared library constructors were being called before important internal things like the environment (extern char **environ) and hwcap flags (needed for sjlj to work right with float on arm) were initialized in __libc_start_main. rather than trying to have to dynamic linker make sure this stuff all gets initialized right, I've opted to just defer calling shared library constructors until after the main program's entry point is reached. this also fixes the order of ctors to be the exact reverse of dtors, which is a desirable property and possibly even mandated by some languages. the main practical effect of this change is that shared libraries calling getenv from ctors will no longer fail.
* clean up sloppy nested inclusion from pthread_impl.hRich Felker2012-11-081-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | this mirrors the stdio_impl.h cleanup. one header which is not strictly needed, errno.h, is left in pthread_impl.h, because since pthread functions return their error codes rather than using errno, nearly every single pthread function needs the errno constants. in a few places, rather than bringing in string.h to use memset, the memset was replaced by direct assignment. this seems to generate much better code anyway, and makes many functions which were previously non-leaf functions into leaf functions (possibly eliminating a great deal of bloat on some platforms where non-leaf functions require ugly prologue and/or epilogue).
* fix unused variable warningsRich Felker2012-11-012-2/+1

* as an extension, have putenv("VAR") behave as unsetenv("VAR")Rich Felker2012-10-211-5/+5
| | | | | | the behavior of putenv is left undefined if the argument does not contain an equal sign, but traditional implementations behave this way and gnulib replaces putenv if it doesn't do this.

* add support for TLS variant I, presently needed for arm and mipsRich Felker2012-10-151-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | despite documentation that makes it sound a lot different, the only ABI-constraint difference between TLS variants II and I seems to be that variant II stores the initial TLS segment immediately below the thread pointer (i.e. the thread pointer points to the end of it) and variant I stores the initial TLS segment above the thread pointer, requiring the thread descriptor to be stored below. the actual value stored in the thread pointer register also tends to have per-arch random offsets applied to it for silly micro-optimization purposes. with these changes applied, TLS should be basically working on all supported archs except microblaze. I'm still working on getting the necessary information and a working toolchain that can build TLS binaries for microblaze, but in theory, static-linked programs with TLS and dynamic-linked programs where only the main executable uses TLS should already work on microblaze. alignment constraints have not yet been heavily tested, so it's possible that this code does not always align TLS segments correctly on archs that need TLS variant I.
* i386 vsyscall support (vdso-provided sysenter/syscall instruction based)Rich Felker2012-10-111-0/+3
| | | | | | this doubles the performance of the fastest syscalls on the atom I tested it on; improvement is reportedly much more dramatic on worst-case cpus. cannot be used for cancellable syscalls.
* ensure that buffer for decoding auxv at startup is initially zeroRich Felker2012-10-081-1/+1
|
* clean up and refactor program initializationRich Felker2012-10-074-31/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the code in __libc_start_main is now responsible for parsing auxv, rather than duplicating the parsing all over the place. this should shave off a few cycles and some code size. __init_libc is left as an external-linkage function despite the fact that it could be static, to prevent it from being inlined and permanently wasting stack space when main is called. a few other minor changes are included, like eliminating per-thread ssp canaries (they were likely broken when combined with certain dlopen usages, and completely unnecessary) and some other unnecessary checks. since this code gets linked into every program, it should be as small and simple as possible.
* fix buggy TLS size/alignment computations in static-linked TLSRich Felker2012-10-061-5/+22

* support for TLS in dynamic-loaded (dlopen) modulesRich Felker2012-10-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | unlike other implementations, this one reserves memory for new TLS in all pre-existing threads at dlopen-time, and dlopen will fail with no resources consumed and no new libraries loaded if memory is not available. memory is not immediately distributed to running threads; that would be too complex and too costly. instead, assurances are made that threads needing the new TLS can obtain it in an async-signal-safe way from a buffer belonging to the dynamic linker/new module (via atomic fetch-and-add based allocator). I've re-appropriated the lock that was previously used for __synccall (synchronizing set*id() syscalls between threads) as a general pthread_create lock. it's a "backwards" rwlock where the "read" operation is safe atomic modification of the live thread count, which multiple threads can perform at the same time, and the "write" operation is making sure the count does not increase during an operation that depends on it remaining bounded (__synccall or dlopen). in static-linked programs that don't use __synccall, this lock is a no-op and has no cost.
* partial TLS support for dynamic-linked programsRich Felker2012-10-041-5/+5
| | | | | only TLS in the main program is supported so far; TLS defined in shared libraries will not work yet.
* TLS (GNU/C11 thread-local storage) support for static-linked programsRich Felker2012-10-042-0/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | the design for TLS in dynamic-linked programs is mostly complete too, but I have not yet implemented it. cost is nonzero but still low for programs which do not use TLS and/or do not use threads (a few hundred bytes of new code, plus dependency on memcpy). i believe it can be made smaller at some point by merging __init_tls and __init_security into __libc_start_main and avoiding duplicate auxv-parsing code. at the same time, I've also slightly changed the logic pthread_create uses to allocate guard pages to ensure that guard pages are not counted towards commit charge.
* ensure canary is setup if stack-prot libs are dlopen'd into non-ssp appRich Felker2012-08-251-1/+2
| | | | | | previously, this usage could lead to a crash if the thread pointer was still uninitialized, and otherwise would just cause the canary to be zero (less secure).
* save AT_HWCAP from auxv for subsequent use in machine-specific codeRich Felker2012-07-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | it's expected that this will be needed/useful only in asm, so I've given it its own symbol that can be addressed in pc-relative ways from asm rather than adding a field in the __libc structure which would require hard-coding the offset wherever it's used.
* direct syscall to open in __init_security needs O_LARGEFILERich Felker2012-06-141-1/+1
| | | | | it probably does not matter for /dev/null, but this should be done consistently anyway.
* fix missing static (namespace clash)Rich Felker2012-05-101-1/+1

* overhaul SSP support to use a real canaryRich Felker2012-05-033-8/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | pthread structure has been adjusted to match the glibc/GCC abi for where the canary is stored on i386 and x86_64. it will need variants for other archs to provide the added security of the canary's entropy, but even without that it still works as well as the old "minimal" ssp support. eventually such changes will be made anyway, since they are also needed for GCC/C11 thread-local storage support (not yet implemented). care is taken not to attempt initializing the thread pointer unless the program actually uses SSP (by reference to __stack_chk_fail).
* make stack protector work with gcc configured for non-tls canaryRich Felker2012-04-301-0/+2
|
* first attempt at enabling stack protector supportRich Felker2012-04-242-0/+21
| | | | | | | | the code is written to pre-init the thread pointer in static linked programs that pull in __stack_chk_fail or dynamic-linked programs that lookup the symbol. no explicit canary is set; the canary will be whatever happens to be in the thread structure at the offset gcc hard-coded. this can be improved later.
* bring back ___environ symbol (3 underscores)Rich Felker2011-08-231-0/+1
| | | | | | its existence doesn't hurt anything, and dynamic-linked binaries using previous versions of musl were wrongly binding to it instead of __environ.
* security hardening: ensure suid programs have valid stdin/out/errRich Felker2011-08-233-13/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | this behavior (opening fds 0-2 for a suid program) is explicitly allowed (but not required) by POSIX to protect badly-written suid programs from clobbering files they later open. this commit does add some cost in startup code, but the availability of auxv and the security flag will be useful elsewhere in the future. in particular auxv is needed for static-linked vdso support, which is still waiting to be committed (sorry nik!)
* fix for setenv bogus var argument handlingRich Felker2011-07-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | thanks to mikachu per POSIX: The setenv() function shall fail if: [EINVAL] The name argument is a null pointer, points to an empty string, or points to a string containing an '=' character.
