GCC 9 has gained an enhancement to help detect attribute mismatches
between alias declarations and their targets. It consists of a new
warning, -Wattribute-alias, an enhancement to an existing warning,
-Wmissing-attributes, and a new attribute called copy.
The purpose of the warnings is to help identify either possible bugs
(an alias declared with more restrictive attributes than its target
promises) or optimization or diagnostic opportunities (an alias target
missing some attributes that it could be declared with that might
benefit analysis and code generation). The purpose of the new
attribute is to easily apply (almost) the same set of attributes
to one declaration as those already present on another.
As expected (and intended) the enhancement triggers warnings for
many alias declarations in Glibc code. This change, tested on
x86_64-linux, avoids all instances of the new warnings by making
use of the attribute where appropriate. To fully benefit from
the enhancement Glibc will need to be compiled with
-Wattribute-alias=2 and remaining warnings reviewed and dealt with
(there are a couple of thousand but most should be straightforward
to deal with).
ChangeLog:
* include/libc-symbols.h (__attribute_copy__): Define macro unless
it's already defined.
(_strong_alias): Use __attribute_copy__.
(_weak_alias, __hidden_ver1, __hidden_nolink2): Same.
* misc/sys/cdefs.h (__attribute_copy__): New macro.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memchr.c (memchr): Use __attribute_copy__.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcmp.c (memcmp): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy.c (mempcpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memset.c (memset): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/stpcpy.c (stpcpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcat.c (strcat): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strchr.c (strchr): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcmp.c (strcmp): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcpy.c (strcpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strcspn.c (strcspn): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen.c (strlen): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strncmp.c (strncmp): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strncpy.c (strncpy): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strnlen.c (strnlen): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strpbrk.c (strpbrk): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strrchr.c (strrchr): Same.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strspn.c (strspn): Same.
Since apply_irel is called before memcpy and mempcpy are called, we
can use IFUNC memcpy and mempcpy in libc.a.
* sysdeps/x86_64/memmove.S (MEMCPY_SYMBOL): Don't check SHARED.
(MEMPCPY_SYMBOL): Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Test memcpy and mempcpy in libc.a.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy-ssse3-back.S: Also include
in libc.a.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy-ssse3.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove-avx512-no-vzeroupper.S:
Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy.c: Also include in libc.a.
(__hidden_ver1): Don't use in libc.a.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove-sse2-unaligned-erms.S
(__mempcpy): Don't create a weak alias in libc.a.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove-vec-unaligned-erms.S: Support
libc.a.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy.c: Also include in libc.a.
(__hidden_ver1): Don't use in libc.a.
Remove one more string inline that was defined directly in string.h;
in the absence of the rest of the inlines, it broke the build.
Like other ifunc shims for these functions,
x86_64/multiarch/{mem,st}pcpy.c need to define __NO_STRING_INLINES and
NO_MEMPCPY_STPCPY_REDIRECT.
* string/string.h (__mempcpy_inline): Delete.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/mempcpy.c
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/stpcpy.c:
Define NO_MEMPCPY_STPCPY_REDIRECT and __NO_STRING_INLINES
before including string.h.
Implement memmove family IFUNC selectors in C.
All internal calls within libc.so can use IFUNC on x86-64 since unlike
x86, x86-64 supports PC-relative addressing to access the GOT entry so
that it can call via PLT without using an extra register. For libc.a,
we can't use IFUNC for functions which are called before IFUNC has been
initialized. Use IFUNC internally reduces the icache footprint since
libc.so and other codes in the process use the same implementations.
This patch uses IFUNC for memmove family functions within libc.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/Makefile (sysdep_routines): Add
memmove-sse2-unaligned-erms, memcpy_chk-nonshared,
mempcpy_chk-nonshared and memmove_chk-nonshared.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-impl-list.c
(__libc_ifunc_impl_list): Add tests for __memmove_chk_erms,
__memcpy_chk_erms and __mempcpy_chk_erms. Update comments.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/ifunc-memmove.h: New file.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy_chk-nonshared.S: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memcpy_chk.c: Likewise.
* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove-sse2-unaligned-erms.S: Likewise.
