* allow interposition/replacement of allocator (malloc)Rich Felker2018-04-181-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | replacement is subject to conditions on the replacement functions. they may only call functions which are async-signal-safe, as specified either by POSIX or as an implementation-defined extension. if any allocator functions are replaced, at least malloc, realloc, and free must be provided. if calloc is not provided, it will behave as malloc+memset. any of the memalign-family functions not provided will fail with ENOMEM. in order to implement the above properties, calloc and __memalign check that they are using their own malloc or free, respectively. choice to check malloc or free is based on considerations of supporting __simple_malloc. in order to make this work, calloc is split into separate versions for __simple_malloc and full malloc; commit ba819787ee93ceae94efd274f7849e317c1bff58 already did most of the split anyway, and completing it saves an extra call frame. previously, use of -Bsymbolic-functions made dynamic interposition impossible. now, we are using an explicit dynamic-list, so add allocator functions to the list. most are not referenced anyway, but all are added for completeness.
* fix calloc when __simple_malloc implementation is usedRich Felker2015-06-221-12/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, calloc's implementation encoded assumptions about the implementation of malloc, accessing a size_t word just prior to the allocated memory to determine if it was obtained by mmap to optimize out the zero-filling. when __simple_malloc is used (static linking a program with no realloc/free), it doesn't matter if the result of this check is wrong, since all allocations are zero-initialized anyway. but the access could be invalid if it crosses a page boundary or if the pointer is not sufficiently aligned, which can happen for very small allocations. this patch fixes the issue by moving the zero-fill logic into malloc.c with the full malloc, as a new function named __malloc0, which is provided by a weak alias to __simple_malloc (which always gives zero-filled memory) when the full malloc is not in use.
