this extends the brk/stack collision protection added to full malloc in commit 276904c2 to also protect the __simple_malloc function used in static-linked programs that don't reference the free function. it also extends support for using mmap when brk fails, which full malloc got in commit 54463033, to __simple_malloc. since __simple_malloc may expand the heap by arbitrarily large increments, the stack collision detection is enhanced to detect interval overlap rather than just proximity of a single address to the stack. code size is increased a bit, but this is partly offset by the sharing of code between the two malloc implementations, which due to linking semantics, both get linked in a program that needs the full malloc with realloc/free support.

commit 58165923 added these optional cancellation points on the basis that cancellable stdio could be useful, to unblock threads stuck on stdio operations that will never complete. however, the only way to ensure that cancellation can achieve this is to violate the rules for side effects when cancellation is acted upon, discarding knowledge of any partial data transfer already completed. our implementation exhibited this behavior and was thus non-conforming. in addition to improving correctness, removing these cancellation points moderately reduces code size, and should significantly improve performance on i386, where sysenter/syscall instructions can be used instead of "int $128" for non-cancellable syscalls.

the old idiom, f->mode |= f->mode+1, was adapted from the idiom for setting byte orientation, f->mode |= f->mode-1, but the adaptation was incorrect. unless the stream was alreasdy set byte-oriented, this code incremented f->mode each time it was executed, which would eventually lead to overflow. it could be fixed by changing it to f->mode |= 1, but upcoming changes will require slightly more work at the time of wide orientation, so it makes sense to just call fwide. as an optimization in the single-character functions, fwide is only called if the stream is not already wide-oriented.

this is undefined, but supported in our implementation of the normal printf, so for consistency the wide variant should support it too.

this can be used to put off writing an asm version of __unmapself for new archs, or as a permanent solution on archs where it's not practical or even possible to run momentarily with no stack. the concept here is simple: the caller takes a lock on a global shared stack and uses it to make the munmap and exit syscalls. the only trick is unlocking, which must be done after the thread exits, and this is achieved by using the set_tid_address syscall to have the kernel zero and futex-wake the lock word as part of the exit syscall.

the linux/nommu fdpic ELF loader sets up the brk range to overlap entirely with the main thread's stack (but growing from opposite ends), so that the resulting failure mode for malloc is not to return a null pointer but to start returning pointers to memory that overlaps with the caller's stack. needless to say this extremely dangerous and makes brk unusable. since it's non-trivial to detect execution environments that might be affected by this kernel bug, and since the severity of the bug makes any sort of detection that might yield false-negatives unsafe, we instead check the proximity of the brk to the stack pointer each time the brk is to be expanded. both the main thread's stack (where the real known risk lies) and the calling thread's stack are checked. an arbitrary gap distance of 8 MB is imposed, chosen to be larger than linux default main-thread stack reservation sizes and larger than any reasonable stack configuration on nommu. the effeciveness of this patch relies on an assumption that the amount by which the brk is being grown is smaller than the gap limit, which is always true for malloc's use of brk. reliance on this assumption is why the check is being done in malloc-specific code and not in __brk.

for several pwd/grp functions, the only way the caller can distinguish between a successful negative result ("no such user/group") and an internal error is by clearing errno before the call and checking errno afterwards. the nscd backend support code correctly simulated a not-found response on systems where such a backend is not running, but failed to restore errno. this commit also fixed an outdated/incorrect comment.

the arm atomics/TLS runtime selection code is called from __set_thread_area and depends on having libc.auxv and __hwcap available. commit 71f099cb moved the first call to __set_thread_area to the top of dynamic linking stage 3, before this data is made available, causing the runtime detection code to always see __hwcap as zero and thereby select the atomics/TLS implementations based on kuser helper. upcoming work on superh will use similar runtime detection. ideally this early-init code should be cleanly refactored and shared between the dynamic linker and static-linked startup.

unless/until the byte-based C locale is implemented, defining MB_CUR_MAX to 1 in the C locale is wrong. no internal code currently uses the MB_CUR_MAX macro, but having it defined inconsistently is error-prone. applications get the value from stdlib.h and were unaffected.

aside from being invalid, the early check only optimized the error case, and likely pessimized the common case by separating the two branches on isascii(c) at opposite ends of the function.

commit f3ddd173 inadvertently removed the early check for "none" type relocations, causing the address dso->base+0 to be dereferenced to obtain an addend. shared libraries, (including libc.so) and PIE executables were unaffected, since their base addresses are the actual address of their mappings and are readable. non-PIE main executables, however, have a base address of 0 because their load addresses are absolute and not offset at load time. in practice none-type relocations do not arise with toolchains that are in use except on mips, and on mips it's moderately rare for a non-PIE executable to have a relocation table, since the mips-specific got processing serves in its place for most purposes.

these functions were written to handle clearing eof status, but failed to account for the __toread function's handling of eof. with this patch applied, __toread still returns EOF when the file is in eof status, so that read operations will fail, but it also sets up valid buffer pointers for read mode, which are set to the end of the buffer rather than the beginning in order to make the whole buffer available to ungetc/ungetwc. minor changes to __uflow were needed since it's now possible to have non-zero buffer pointers while in eof status. as made, these changes remove a 'fast path' bypassing the function call to __toread, which could be reintroduced with slightly different logic, but since ordinary files have a syscall in f->read, optimizing the code path does not seem worthwhile. the __stdio_read function is also updated not to zero the read buffer pointers on eof/error. while not necessary for correctness, this change avoids the overhead of calling __toread in ungetc after reaching eof, and it also reduces code size and increases consistency with the fmemopen read operation which does not zero the pointers.

this frees applications which need to make temporary use of the C locale (via uselocale) from the possibility that newlocale might fail. the C.UTF-8 locale is also provided as a static locale. presently they behave the same, but this may change in the future.

previously, LC_MESSAGES was treated specially as the only category which could be set to a locale name without a definition file, in order to facilitate gettext message translations when no libc locale was available. LC_NUMERIC was completely un-settable, and LC_CTYPE stored a flag intended to be used for a possible future byte-based C locale, instead of storing a __locale_map pointer like the other categories use. this patch changes all categories to be represented by pointers to __locale_map structures, and allows locale names without definition files to be treated as valid locales with trivial definition when used in any category. outwardly visible functional changes should be minor, limited mainly to the strings read back from setlocale and the way gettext handles translations in categories other than LC_MESSAGES. various internal refactoring has also been performed, and improvements in const correctness have been made.

this is part of a general program of removing direct use of atomics where they are not necessary to meet correctness or performance needs, but in this case it's also an optimization. only the global locale needs synchronization; allocated locales referenced with locale_t handles are immutable during their lifetimes, and using atomics to initialize them increases their cost of setup.

commit f3ddd173 introduced early relocations and subsequent reprocessing as part of the dynamic linker bootstrap overhaul, to allow use of arbitrary libc functions before the main application and libraries are loaded, but only reprocessed GOT/PLT relocation types. commit c093e2e8 added reprocessing of non-GOT/PLT relocations to fix an actual regression that was observed on powerpc, but only for RELA format tables with out-of-line addends. REL table (inline addends at the relocation address) reprocessing is trickier because the first relocation pass clobbers the addends. this patch extends symbolic relocation reprocessing for libc/ldso to support all relocation types, whether REL or RELA format tables are used. it is believed not to alter behavior on any existing archs for the current dynamic linker and libc code. the motivations for this change are consistency and future-proofing. it ensures that behavior does not differ depending on whether REL or RELA tables are used, which could lead to undetected arch-specific bugs. it also ensures that, if in the future code depending on additional relocation types is added to libc.so, either at the source level or as part of the compiler runtime that gets pulled in (for example, soft-float with TLS for fenv), the new code will work properly. the implementation concept is simple: stage 2 of the dynamic linker counts the number of symbolic relocations in the libc/ldso REL table and allocates a VLA to save their addends into; stage 3 then uses the saved addends in place of the inline ones which were clobbered. for stack safety, a hard limit (currently 4k) is imposed on the number of such addends; this should be a couple orders of magnitude larger than the actual need. this number is not a runtime variable that could break fail-safety; it is constant for a given libc.so build.

this move eliminates a duplicate "by-hand" symbol lookup loop from the stage-1 code and replaces it with a call to find_sym, which can be used once we're in stage 2. it reduces the size of the stage 1 code, which is helpful because stage 1 will become the crt start file for static-PIE executables, and it will allow stage 3 to access stage 2's automatic storage, which will be important in an upcoming commit.

the outer-loop approach made sense when we were also processing DT_JMPREL, which might be in REL or RELA form, to avoid major code duplication. commit 09db855b removed processing of DT_JMPREL, and in the remaining two tables, the format (REL or RELA) is known by the name of the table. simply writing two versions of the loop results in smaller and simpler code.
-
由 Rich Felker 提交于
the DT_JMPREL relocation table necessarily consists entirely of JMP_SLOT (REL_PLT in internal nomenclature) relocations, which are symbolic; they cannot be resolved in stage 1, so there is no point in processing them.

while not a requirement, it's common convention in other iconv implementations to accept "CHAR" as an alias for nl_langinfo(CODESET), meaning the encoding used for char[] strings in the current locale, and also "" as an alternate form. supporting this is not costly and improves compatibility.

this fixes a regression on powerpc that was introduced in commit f3ddd173. global data accesses on powerpc seem to be using a translation-unit-local GOT filled via R_PPC_ADDR32 relocations rather than R_PPC_GLOB_DAT. being a non-GOT relocation type, these were not reprocessed after adding the main application and its libraries to the chain, causing libc code not to see copy relocations in the main program, and therefore to use the pre-copy-relocation addresses for global data objects (like environ). the motivation for the dynamic linker only reprocessing GOT/PLT relocation types in stage 3 is that these types always have a zero addend, making them safe to process again even if the storage for the addend has been clobbered. other relocation types which can be used for address constants in initialized data objects may have non-zero addends which will be clobbered during the first pass of relocation processing if they're stored inline (REL form) rather than out-of-line (RELA form). powerpc generally uses only RELA, so this patch is sufficient to fix the regression in practice, but is not fully general, and would not suffice if an alternate toolchain generated REL for powerpc.

if setlocale has not been called, the current locale's messages_name may be a null pointer. the code path where it's assumed to be non-null was only reachable if bindtextdomain had already been called, which is normally not done in programs which do not call setlocale, so the omitted check went unnoticed. patch from Void Linux, with description rewritten.

the code being removed used atomics to track whether any threads might be using a locale other than the current global locale, and whether any threads might have abstract 8-bit (non-UTF-8) LC_CTYPE active, a feature which was never committed (still pending). the motivations were to support early execution prior to setup of the thread pointer, to partially support systems (ancient kernels) where thread pointer setup is not possible, and to avoid high performance cost on archs where accessing the thread pointer may be very slow. since commit 19a1fe67, the thread pointer is always available, so these hacks are no longer needed. removing them greatly simplifies the affected code.

commit f630df09 added logic to handle the case where __set_thread_area is called more than once by reusing the GDT slot already in the %gs register, and only setting up a new GDT slot when %gs is zero. this created a hidden assumption that %gs is zero when a new process image starts, which is true in practice on Linux, but does not seem to be documented ABI, and fails to hold under qemu app-level emulation. while it would in theory be possible to zero %gs in the entry point code, this code is shared between static and dynamic binaries, and dynamic binaries must not clobber the value of %gs already setup by the dynamic linker. the alternative solution implemented in this commit simply uses global data to store the GDT index that's selected. __set_thread_area should only be called in the initial thread anyway (subsequent threads get their thread pointer setup by __clone), but even if it were called by another thread, it would simply read and write back the same GDT index that was already assigned to the initial thread, and thus (in the x86 memory model) there is no data race.

i386, x86_64, x32, and powerpc all use TLS for stack protector canary values in the default stack protector ABI, but the location only matched the ABI on i386 and x86_64. on x32, the expected location for the canary contained the tid, thus producing spurious mismatches (resulting in process termination) upon fork. on powerpc, the expected location contained the stdio_locks list head, so returning from a function after calling flockfile produced spurious mismatches. in both cases, the random canary was not present, and a predictable value was used instead, making the stack protector hardening much less effective than it should be. in the current fix, the thread structure has been expanded to have canary fields at all three possible locations, and archs that use a non-default location must define a macro in pthread_arch.h to choose which location is used. for most archs (which lack TLS canary ABI) the choice does not matter.

the 64-bit push reads not only the 32-bit return address but also the first 32 signal mask bits. if any were nonzero, the return address obtained will be invalid. at some point storage of the return address should probably be moved to follow the saved mask so that there's plenty room and the same code can be used on x32 and regular x86_64, but for now I want a fix that does not risk breaking x86_64, and this simple re-zeroing works.
