addressing &out[k].sa was arguably undefined, despite &out[k] being defined the slot one past the end of an array, since the member access .sa is intervening between the [] operator and the & operator.

the backindex stored by getaddrinfo to allow freeaddrinfo to perform partial-free wrongly used the address result index, rather than the output slot index, and thus was only valid when they were equal (nservs==1). patch based on report with proposed fix by Markus Wichmann.

previously, dynamic loading of new libraries with thread-local storage allocated the storage needed for all existing threads at load-time, precluding late failure that can't be handled, but left installation in existing threads to take place lazily on first access. this imposed an additional memory access and branch on every dynamic tls access, and imposed a requirement, which was not actually met, that the dynamic tlsdesc asm functions preserve all call-clobbered registers before calling C code to to install new dynamic tls on first access. the x86[_64] versions of this code wrongly omitted saving and restoring of fpu/vector registers, assuming the compiler would not generate anything using them in the called C code. the arm and aarch64 versions saved known existing registers, but failed to be future-proof against expansion of the register file. now that we track live threads in a list, it's possible to install the new dynamic tls for each thread at dlopen time. for the most part, synchronization is not needed, because if a thread has not synchronized with completion of the dlopen, there is no way it can meaningfully request access to a slot past the end of the old dtv, which remains valid for accessing slots which already existed. however, it is necessary to ensure that, if a thread sees its new dtv pointer, it sees correct pointers in each of the slots that existed prior to the dlopen. my understanding is that, on most real-world coherency architectures including all the ones we presently support, a built-in consume order guarantees this; however, don't rely on that. instead, the SYS_membarrier syscall is used to ensure that all threads see the stores to the slots of their new dtv prior to the installation of the new dtv. if it is not supported, the same is implemented in userspace via signals, using the same mechanism as __synccall. the __tls_get_addr function, variants, and dynamic tlsdesc asm functions are all updated to remove the fallback paths for claiming new dynamic tls, and are now all branch-free.

access to clear the entry in each thread's tsd array for the key being deleted was not synchronized with __pthread_tsd_run_dtors. I probably made this mistake from a mistaken belief that the thread list lock was held during the latter, which of course is not possible since it executes application code in a still-live-thread context. while we're at it, expand the interval during which signals are blocked to cover taking the write lock on key_lock, so that a signal at an inopportune time doesn't block forward progress of readers.

with the availability of the thread list, there is no need to mark tsd key slots dirty and clean them up only when a free slot can't be found. instead, directly iterate threads and clear any value associated with the key being deleted. no synchronization is necessary for the clearing, since there is no way the slot can be accessed without having synchronized with the creation of a new key occupying the same slot, which is already sequenced after and synchronized with the deletion of the old key.

the __synccall mechanism provides stop-the-world synchronous execution of a callback in all threads of the process. it is used to implement multi-threaded setuid/setgid operations, since Linux lacks them at the kernel level, and for some other less-critical purposes. this change eliminates dependency on /proc/self/task to determine the set of live threads, which in addition to being an unwanted dependency and a potential point of resource-exhaustion failure, turned out to be inaccurate. test cases provided by Alexey Izbyshev showed that it could fail to reflect newly created threads. due to how the presignaling phase worked, this usually yielded a deadlock if hit, but in the worst case it could also result in threads being silently missed (allowed to continue running without executing the callback).

the hard problem here is unlinking threads from a list when they exit without creating a window of inconsistency where the kernel task for a thread still exists and is still executing instructions in userspace, but is not reflected in the list. the magic solution here is getting rid of per-thread exit futex addresses (set_tid_address), and instead using the exit futex to unlock the global thread list. since pthread_join can no longer see the thread enter a detach_state of EXITED (which depended on the exit futex address pointing to the detach_state), it must now observe the unlocking of the thread list lock before it can unmap the joined thread and return. it doesn't actually have to take the lock. for this, a __tl_sync primitive is offered, with a signature that will allow it to be enhanced for quick return even under contention on the lock, if needed. for now, the exiting thread always performs a futex wake on its detach_state. a future change could optimize this out except when there is already a joiner waiting. initial/dynamic variants of detached state no longer need to be tracked separately, since the futex address is always set to the global list lock, not a thread-local address that could become invalid on detached thread exit. all detached threads, however, must perform a second sigprocmask syscall to block implementation-internal signals, since locking the thread list with them already blocked is not permissible. the arch-independent C version of __unmapself no longer needs to take a lock or setup its own futex address to release the lock, since it must necessarily be called with the thread list lock already held, guaranteeing exclusive access to the temporary stack. changes to libc.threads_minus_1 no longer need to be atomic, since they are guarded by the thread list lock. it is largely vestigial at this point, and can be replaced with a cheaper boolean indicating whether the process is multithreaded at some point in the future.

whether signals need to be blocked at thread start, and whether unblocking is necessary in the entry point function, has historically depended on intricacies of the cancellation design and on whether there are scheduling operations to perform on the new thread before its successful creation can be committed. future changes to track an AS-safe list of live threads will require signals to be blocked whenever changes are made to the list, so ... prior to commits b8742f32 and 40bae2d3, a signal mask for the entry function to restore was part of the pthread structure. it was removed to trim down the size of the structure, which both saved a small amount of stack space and improved code generation on archs where small immediate displacements are less costly than arbitrary ones, by limiting the range of offsets between the base of the thread structure, its members, and the thread pointer. these commits moved the saved mask to a special structure used only when special scheduling was needed, in which case the pthread_create caller and new thread had to synchronize with each other and could use this memory to pass a mask. this commit partially reverts the above two commits, but instead of putting the mask back in the pthread structure, it moves all "start argument" members out of the pthread structure, trimming it down further, and puts them in a separate structure passed on the new thread's stack. the code path for explicit scheduling of the new thread is also changed to synchronize with the calling thread in such a way to avoid spurious futex wakes.

__dl_thread_cleanup is called from the context of an exiting thread that is not in a consistent state valid for calling application code. since commit c9f415d7, it's possible (and supported usage) for the allocator to have been replaced by the application, so __dl_thread_cleanup can no longer call free. instead, reuse the message buffer as a linked-list pointer, and queue it to be freed the next time any dynamic linker error message is generated.

the way gets was implemented in terms of fgets, it used the location of the null termination to determine where to find and remove the newline, if any. an embedded null byte prevented this from working. this also fixes a one-byte buffer overflow, whereby when gets read an N-byte line (not counting newline), it would store two null terminators for a total of N+2 bytes. it's unlikely that anyone would care that a function whose use is pretty much inherently a buffer overflow writes too much, but it could break the only possible correct uses of this function, in conjunction with input of known format from a trusted/same-privilege-domain source, where the buffer length may have been selected to exactly match a line length contract. there seems to be no correct way to implement gets in terms of a single call to fgets or scanf, and using multiple calls would require explicit locking, so we might as well just write the logic out explicitly character-at-a-time. this isn't fast, but nobody cares if a catastrophically unsafe function that's so bad it was removed from the C language is fast.

in order to implement ENOTRECOVERABLE, the implementation has traditionally used a bit of the mutex type field to indicate that it's recovered after EOWNERDEAD and will go into ENOTRECOVERABLE state if pthread_mutex_consistent is not called before unlocking. while it's only the thread that holds the lock that needs access to this information (except possibly for the sake of pthread_mutex_consistent choosing between EINVAL and EPERM for erroneous calls), the change to the type field is formally a data race with all other threads that perform any operation on the mutex. no individual bits race, and no write races are possible, so things are "okay" in some sense, but it's still not good. this patch moves the recovery/consistency state to the mutex owner/lock field which is rightfully mutable. bit 30, the same bit the kernel uses with a zero owner to indicate that the previous owner died holding the lock, is now used with a nonzero owner to indicate that the mutex is held but has not yet been marked consistent. note that the kernel ABI also reserves bit 29 not to appear in any tid, so the sentinel value we use for ENOTRECOVERABLE, 0x7fffffff, does not clash with any tid plus bit 30.

fdopendir is specified to fail with EBADF if the file descriptor passed is not open for reading. while O_PATH is an extension and arguably exempt from this requirement, it's used, albeit incompletely, to implement O_SEARCH, and fdopendir should fail when passed an O_SEARCH file descriptor. the new check is performed after fstat so that we don't have to consider the possibility that the fd is invalid. an alternate solution would be attempting to pre-fill the buffer using getdents, which would fail with EBADF for us, but that seems more complex and error-prone and involves either code duplication or refactoring, so the simple fix with an additional inexpensive syscall is what I've made for now.

Some packages call gettext to format a message to be sent to perror. If the currently set user locale points to a non-existent .mo file, open via __map_file in dcngettext will set errno to ENOENT. Maintainer's notes: Non-modification of errno is a documented part of the interface contract for the GNU version of this function and likely other versions. The issue being fixed here seems to be a regression from commit 1b52863e, which enabled setting of errno from __map_file.

this reverts commit c0ed5a20, which was based on a mistaken reading of POSIX due to inconsistency between the description (which requires return upon interruption by a signal) and the errors list (which wrongly lists EINTR as "may fail"). since the previously-introduced behavior was a workaround for an old kernel bug to ensure safety of correct programs that were not hardened against the bug, an effort has been made to preserve it for programs which do not use interrupting signal handlers. the stage for this was set in commit a63c0104, which makes the futex __timedwait backend suppress EINTR if it's seen when no interrupting signal handlers have been installed. based loosely on a patch submitted by Orivej Desh, but with unnecessary additional changes removed.

the resolution of Austin Group issue #1132 changes the requirement to fail so that it only applies when the set argument (new mask) is non-null. this change was made for consistency with the description, which specified "if set is a null pointer, the value of the argument how is not significant".

prior to linux 2.6.22, futex wait could fail with EINTR even for non-interrupting (SA_RESTART) signals. this was no problem provided the caller simply restarted the wait, but sem_[timed]wait is required by POSIX to return when interrupted by a signal. commit a113434c introduced this behavior, and commit c0ed5a20 reverted it based on a mistaken belief that it was not required. this belief stems from a bug in the specification: the description requires the function to return when interrupted, but the errors section marks EINTR as a "may fail" condition rather than a "shall fail" one. since there does seem to be significant value in the change made in commit c0ed5a20, making it so that programs that call sem_wait without checking for EINTR don't silently make forward progress without obtaining the semaphore or treat it as a fatal error and abort, add a behind-the-scenes mechanism in the __timedwait backend to suppress EINTR in programs that have never installed interrupting signal handlers, and have sigaction track and report this state. this way the semaphore code is not cluttered by workarounds and can be updated (to be done in next commit) to reflect the high-level logic for conforming behavior. these changes are based loosely on a patch by Markus Wichmann, with the main changes being atomic update to flag object and moving the workaround from sem_timedwait to the __timedwait futex backend.

it's not clear whether this is required, but it seems arguable that it should happen. for example aio_suspend is supposed to return immediately if any of the operations has "completed", which includes ending with an error status asynchonously and might also be interpreted to include doing so synchronously.

the map structures in particular are permanent once created, and thus a large number of aio function calls with invalid file descriptors could exhaust memory, whereas, assuming normal resource limits, only a very small number of entries ever need to be allocated. check validity of the fd before allocating anything new, so that allocation of large amounts of memory is only possible when resource limits have been increased and a large number of files are actually open. this change also improves error reporting for bad file descriptors to happen at the time the aio submission call is made, as opposed to asynchronously.

since commit c9f415d7, it has been possible that the allocator is application-provided code, which cannot necessarily run safely on io thread stacks, and which should not be able to see the existence of io threads, since they are an implementation detail. instead of having the io thread request and possibly allocate its queue (and the map structures leading to it), make the submitting thread responsible for this, and pass the queue pointer into the io thread via its args structure. this eliminates the only early error case in io threads, making it no longer necessary to pass an error status back to the submitting thread via the args structure.

aio threads not using SIGEV_THREAD notification are created with small stacks and no guard page, which is possible since they only run the code for the requested io operation, not any application code. the motivation is not creating a lot of VMAs. however, the io thread needs to be able to receive a cancellation signal in case aio_cancel (implemented via pthread_cancel) is called. this requires sufficient stack space for a signal frame, which PTHREAD_STACK_MIN does not necessarily include. in principle MINSIGSTKSZ from signal.h should give us sufficient space for a signal frame, but the value is incorrect on some existing archs due to kernel addition of new vector register support without consideration for impact on ABI. some powerpc models exceed MINSIGSTKSZ by about 0.5k, and x86[_64] with AVX-512 can exceed it by up to about 1.5k. so use MINSIGSTKSZ+2048 to allow for the discrepancy plus some working space. unfortunately, it's possible that signal frame sizes could continue to grow, and some archs (aarch64) explicitly specify that they may. passing of a runtime value for MINSIGSTKSZ via AT_MINSIGSTKSZ in the aux vector was added to aarch64 linux, and presumably other archs will use this mechanism to report if they further increase the signal frame size. when AT_MINSIGSTKSZ is present, assume it's correct, so that we only need a small amount of working space in addition to it; in this case just add 512.
