      clean up and refactor program initialization · 0a96a37f
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      TLS (GNU/C11 thread-local storage) support for static-linked programs · 8431d797
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      security hardening: ensure suid programs have valid stdin/out/err · df0b5a49
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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!)
