Static PIE extends address space layout randomization to static
executables. It provides additional security hardening benefits at
the cost of some memory and performance.
Dynamic linker, ld.so, is a standalone program which can be loaded at
any address. This patch adds a configure option, --enable-static-pie,
to embed the part of ld.so in static executable to create static position
independent executable (static PIE). A static PIE is similar to static
executable, but can be loaded at any address without help from a dynamic
linker. When --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc, libc.a is
built as PIE and all static executables, including tests, are built as
static PIE. The resulting libc.a can be used together with GCC 8 or
above to build static PIE with the compiler option, -static-pie. But
GCC 8 isn't required to build glibc with --enable-static-pie. Only GCC
with PIE support is needed. When an older GCC is used to build glibc
with --enable-static-pie, proper input files are passed to linker to
create static executables as static PIE, together with "-z text" to
prevent dynamic relocations in read-only segments, which are not allowed
in static PIE.
The following changes are made for static PIE:
1. Add a new function, _dl_relocate_static_pie, to:
a. Get the run-time load address.
b. Read the dynamic section.
c. Perform dynamic relocations.
Dynamic linker also performs these steps. But static PIE doesn't load
any shared objects.
2. Call _dl_relocate_static_pie at entrance of LIBC_START_MAIN in
libc.a. crt1.o, which is used to create dynamic and non-PIE static
executables, is updated to include a dummy _dl_relocate_static_pie.
rcrt1.o is added to create static PIE, which will link in the real
_dl_relocate_static_pie. grcrt1.o is also added to create static PIE
with -pg. GCC 8 has been updated to support rcrt1.o and grcrt1.o for
static PIE.
Static PIE can work on all architectures which support PIE, provided:
1. Target must support accessing of local functions without dynamic
relocations, which is needed in start.S to call __libc_start_main with
function addresses of __libc_csu_init, __libc_csu_fini and main. All
functions in static PIE are local functions. If PIE start.S can't reach
main () defined in a shared object, the code sequence:
pass address of local_main to __libc_start_main
...
local_main:
tail call to main via PLT
can be used.
2. start.S is updated to check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path and
avoid dynamic relocation, when PIC is defined and SHARED isn't defined,
to support static PIE.
3. All assembly codes are updated check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code
path to avoid dynamic relocations in read-only sections.
4. All assembly codes are updated check SHARED instead PIC for static
symbol name.
5. elf_machine_load_address in dl-machine.h are updated to support static
PIE.
6. __brk works without TLS nor dynamic relocations in read-only section
so that it can be used by __libc_setup_tls to initializes TLS in static
PIE.
NB: When glibc is built with GCC defaulted to PIE, libc.a is compiled
with -fPIE, regardless if --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc.
When glibc is configured with --enable-static-pie, libc.a is compiled
with -fPIE, regardless whether GCC defaults to PIE or not. The same
libc.a can be used to build both static executable and static PIE.
There is no need for separate PIE copy of libc.a.
On x86-64, the normal static sln:
text data bss dec hex filename
625425 8284 5456 639165 9c0bd elf/sln
the static PIE sln:
text data bss dec hex filename
657626 20636 5392 683654 a6e86 elf/sln
The code size is increased by 5% and the binary size is increased by 7%.
Linker requirements to build glibc with --enable-static-pie:
1. Linker supports --no-dynamic-linker to remove PT_INTERP segment from
static PIE.
2. Linker can create working static PIE. The x86-64 linker needs the
fix for
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21782
The i386 linker needs to be able to convert "movl main@GOT(%ebx), %eax"
to "leal main@GOTOFF(%ebx), %eax" if main is defined locally.
Binutils 2.29 or above are OK for i686 and x86-64. But linker status for
other targets need to be verified.
3. Linker should resolve undefined weak symbols to 0 in static PIE:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22269
4. Many ELF backend linkers incorrectly check bfd_link_pic for TLS
relocations, which should check bfd_link_executable instead:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22263
Tested on aarch64, i686 and x86-64.

This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends
on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled,
and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime
selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of
the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].
Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.

version 2.22. This leads to some code simplification, mostly on
multiarch build where there is only one variant instead of previously
two (whether binutils supports VIS3 instructions or not).
For multiarch files where HAVE_AS_VIS3_SUPPORT was checked and
the default implementation was built with a different name, a new
file with (implementation with -generic appended) is added.

On the Hurd, the rtld needs to see its own dumb versions of a few functions
(defined in sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c) overridden by libc's versions once
loaded. rtld should thus not have hidden attribute for these. To achieve this,
the Hurd port used to just define NO_HIDDEN, which disables it completely. For
now, this changes that to disabling it for all rtld functions, for simplicity.

All calls to functions with the internal_function attribute
have been removed from assembler implementations, which means that
the definition of internal_function can be changed at the C level
without causing ABI issues with assembler code.
_dl_fixup still uses a regparm calling convention on i386, but this
is controlled through ARCH_FIXUP_ATTRIBUTE, not internal_function.
This patch adds a new build module called 'testsuite'.
IS_IN (testsuite) implies _ISOMAC, as do IS_IN_build and __cplusplus
(which means several ad-hoc tests for __cplusplus can go away).
libc-symbols.h now suppresses almost all of *itself* when _ISOMAC is
defined; in particular, _ISOMAC mode does not get config.h
automatically anymore.
There are still quite a few tests that need to see internal gunk of
one variety or another. For them, we now have 'tests-internal' and
'test-internal-extras'; files in this category will still be compiled
with MODULE_NAME=nonlib, and everything proceeds as it always has.
The bulk of this patch is moving tests from 'tests' to
'tests-internal'. There is also 'tests-static-internal', which has
the same effect on files in 'tests-static', and 'modules-names-tests',
which has the *inverse* effect on files in 'modules-names' (it's
inverted because most of the things in modules-names are *not* tests).
For both of these, the file must appear in *both* the new variable and
the old one.
There is also now a special case for when libc-symbols.h is included
without MODULE_NAME being defined at all. (This happens during the
creation of libc-modules.h, and also when preprocessing Versions
files.) When this happens, IS_IN is set to be always false and
_ISOMAC is *not* defined, which was the status quo, but now it's
explicit.
The remaining changes to C source files in this patch seemed likely to
cause problems in the absence of the main change. They should be
relatively self-explanatory. In a few cases I duplicated a definition
from an internal header rather than move the test to tests-internal;
this was a judgement call each time and I'm happy to change those

glibc's implementation of getopt includes code to parse an environment
variable named _XXX_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_ (where XXX is the
current process's PID in decimal); but all of it has been #ifdefed out
since 2001, with no official way to turn it back on.
According to commentary in our config.h.in, bash version 2.0 set this
environment variable to indicate argv elements that were the result of
glob expansion and therefore should not be treated as options, but the
feature was "disabled later" because "it caused problems". According
to bash's CHANGES file, "later" was release 2.01; it gives no more
detail about what the problems were.
Version 2.0 of bash was released on the last day of 1996, and version
2.01 in June of 1997. Twenty years later, I think it is safe to
assume that this environment variable isn't coming back.

Commit 6b1df8b27f fixed the -OS build issue on i386 (BZ#20729) by
expliciting disabling frame pointer (-fomit-frame-pointer) on the
faulty objects. Although it does fix the issue, it is a subpar
workaround that adds complexity in build process (a rule for each
object to add the required compiler option and pontentially more
rules for objects that call {INLINE,INTERNAL}_SYSCALL) and does not
allow the implementations to get all the possible debug/calltrack
information possible (used mainly in debuggers and performance
measurement tools).
This patch fixes it by adding an explicit configure check to see
if -fno-omit-frame-pointer is set and to act accordingly (set or
not OPTIMIZE_FOR_GCC_5). The make rules is simplified and only
one is required: to add libc-do-syscall on loader due mmap
(which will be empty anyway for default build with
-fomit-frame-pointer).
Checked on i386-linux-gnu with GCC 6.2.1 with CFLAGS sets as
'-Os', '-O2 -fno-omit-frame-pointer', and '-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer'.
For '-Os' the testsuite issues described by BZ#19463 and BZ#15105
still applied.
It fixes BZ #21029, although it is marked as duplicated of #20729
(I reopened to track this cleanup).

The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global
variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has
instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables.
Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables
configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a
framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are
read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc
behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the
compatibility interface.

When dynamically linking, ifunc resolvers are called before TLS is
initialized, so they cannot be safely stack-protected.
We avoid disabling stack-protection on large numbers of files by
using __attribute__ ((__optimize__ ("-fno-stack-protector")))
to turn it off just for the resolvers themselves. (We provide
the attribute even when statically linking, because we will later
use it elsewhere too.)
This adds =all and =strong, with obvious semantics, defaulting to off.
We don't validate the value of the option yet: that's in a later patch.
Nor do we use it for anything at this stage.
We differentiate between 'the compiler understands -fstack-protector'
and 'the user wanted -fstack-protector' so that we can pass
-fno-stack-protector in appropriate places even if the user didn't want
to turn on -fstack-protector for other parts. (This helps us overcome
another existing limitation, that glibc doesn't work with GCCs hacked
to pass in -fstack-protector by default.)
We also arrange to set the STACK_PROTECTOR_LEVEL #define to a value
appropriate for the stack-protection level in use for each file in
particular.
This patch adds a configure check to test if gcc supports attribute ifunc.
The support can either be enabled in <gcc-src>/gcc/config.gcc for one
architecture in general by setting default_gnu_indirect_function variable to yes
or by configuring gcc with --enable-gnu-indirect-function.
The next patch rewrites libc_ifunc macro to use gcc attribute ifunc instead
of inline assembly to generate the IFUNC symbols due to false debuginfo.
If gcc does not support attribute ifunc, the old approach for generating
ifunc'ed symbols is used. Then the debug-information is false. Thus it is
recommended to use a gcc with indirect function support (See notes in INSTALL).
After this patch-series these inline assemblies for ifunc-handling are not
scattered in multiple files but are used only indirect via ifunc-macros
and can simply removed in libc-symbols.h in future.
If glibc is configured with --enable-multi-arch and gcc does not support
attribute ifunc, a configure warning is dumped!
ChangeLog:
* config.h.in (HAVE_GCC_IFUNC): New undef.
* configure.ac: Add check if gcc supports attribute ifunc feature.
* configure: Regenerated.
* manual/install.texi: Add recommendation for gcc with
indirect-function support.

On s390 feraiseexcept (FE_OVERFLOW|FE_UNDERFLOW) sets FE_INEXACT, too.
This patch uses z196 zarch load rounded instruction which can suppress
FE_INEXACT exception if gcc has z196 support in used configuration.
Otherwise FE_INEXACT flag is set as before. The gcc support is tested
in a new configure-check.
A comment in fsetexcptflg.c is corrected as new exceptions are not
executed with the next floating-point instruction if fpc is set with
_FPU_SETCW macro. It seems the comment was copied e.g. from
sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/fsetexcptflg.c file.
ChangeLog:

If assembler doesn't support AVX512DQ, _dl_runtime_resolve_avx is used
to save the first 8 vector registers, which only saves the lower 256
bits of vector register, for lazy binding. When it is called on AVX512
platform, the upper 256 bits of ZMM registers are clobbered. Parameters
passed in ZMM registers will be wrong when the function is called the
first time. This patch requires binutils 2.24, whose assembler can store
and load ZMM registers, to build x86-64 glibc. Since mathvec library
needs assembler support for AVX512DQ, we disable mathvec if assembler
doesn't support AVX512DQ.

The S390 specific test checks if the gcc has support for vector registers

HAVE_BUILTIN_EXPECT macro was removed by commit glibc-2.14-280-g3ce1f29,
but then its use was unintentionally reintroduced during merge with GNU
gettext 0.19.3 by commit glibc-2.20-324-g6d24885, effectively disabling
all optimization based on __builtin_expect. As intl files are also part
of GNU gettext, HAVE_BUILTIN_EXPECT macro cannot be removed, so define
it unconditionally in config.h.in instead.

There is a configure test for assembler support for the
gnu_unique_object symbol type. This support was added in binutils
2.20, so is present in all versions supported for building glibc.
Thus, I think the configure test can be removed; this patch does so.
Now, there is a caveat that the gas NEWS entry refers to this as a
feature for GNU/Linux targets. But the condition is use of
ELFOSABI_GNU or ELFOSABI_NONE. ELFOSABI_GNU covers Hurd as well as
GNU/Linux (as was the case with the older ELFOSABI_LINUX name), and
ELFOSABI_NONE means this is effectively OS-independent. Furthermore,
I think a correct binutils port for any glibc target ought to support
this feature for use with glibc; glibc supports this as an
OS-independent feature (the configure test is only about glibc
testcases).

unchanged by the patch).

There are configure tests for assembler .weak support, and, as a
fallback, for .weakext support.
.weakext appears to be an ECOFF thing (although a few ELF targets
support it as well). .weak has been supported by the GNU assembler
for ELF targets since version 2.2, so given the requirement for ELF
the configure tests are obsolete; this patch removes them.

The versions of llrint and llrintf for older powerpc32 processors
convert the results of __rint / __rintf to long long int, resulting in
spurious exceptions from such casts in certain cases. This patch
makes glibc work around the problems with the libgcc conversions when
the compiler used to build glibc doesn't use the fctidz instruction
for them.

On powerpc32 hard-float, older processors (ones where fcfid is not
available for 32-bit code), GCC generates conversions from integers to
floating point that wrongly convert integer 0 to -0 instead of +0 in
FE_DOWNWARD mode. This in turn results in logb and a few other
functions wrongly returning -0 when they should return +0.
This patch works around this issue in glibc as I proposed in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-09/msg00728.html>, so that
the affected functions can be correct and the affected tests pass in
the absence of a GCC fix for this longstanding issue (GCC bug 67771 -
if fixed, of course we can put in GCC version conditionals, and
eventually phase out the workarounds). A new macro
FIX_INT_FP_CONVERT_ZERO is added in a new sysdeps header
fix-int-fp-convert-zero.h, and the powerpc32/fpu version of that
header defines the macro based on the results of a configure test for
whether such conversions use the fcfid instruction.
Tested for x86_64 (that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch) and powerpc (that HAVE_PPC_FCFID comes out to
0 as expected and that the relevant tests are fixed). Also tested a
build with GCC configured for -mcpu=power4 and verified that
HAVE_PPC_FCFID comes out to 1 in that case.
There are still some other issues to fix to get test-float and
test-double passing cleanly for older powerpc32 processors (apart from
the need for an ulps regeneration for powerpc). (test-ldouble will be
harder to get passing cleanly, but with a combination of selected
fixes to ldbl-128ibm code that don't involve significant performance
issues, allowing spurious underflow and inexact exceptions for that
format, and lots of XFAILing for the default case of unpatched libgcc,
it should be doable.)

The S390 specific test checks if the assembler has support for the new z13
vector instructions by compiling a vector instruction. The .machine and
.machinemode directives are needed to compile the vector instruction without
-march=z13 option on 31/64 bit.
On success the macro HAVE_S390_VX_ASM_SUPPORT is defined. This macro is used
to determine if the optimized functions can be build without compile errors.
If the used assembler lacks vector support, then a warning is dumped while
configuring and only the common code functions are build.
The z13 instruction support was introduced in
"[Committed] S/390: Add support for IBM z13."
(https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-01/msg00197.html)
ChangeLog:

assembler support.

In bc0cdc498 the configure check for HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 was removed
on the grounds that the minimum binutils supports rel16 relocs. This
is true, but not all references to HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 in the sources
were removed.

With AIX port deprecated there is no need to check/define
HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME anymore since the current minimum binutils
supported (2.22) does not emit global symbol with dot.
This patch removes all the HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME definition and
checks for powerpc64 port.
This patch removes the --enable-oldest-abi configure option, which has
long been bitrotten (as reported in bug 6652). The principle of
removing this option was agreed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-07/msg00174.html>.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that the installed shared libraries other
than libc.so are unchanged by this patch and that libc.so disassembly
and symbol versions are unchanged (debug info changes because of
changed line numbers in csu/version.c).

This patch makes
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/shlib-versions use %ifdef
conditionals around the different symbol version definitions for big
and little endian. (It doesn't actually change the host patterns used
for those definitions; the point is to make it possible to remove the
first column from shlib-versions by eliminating the last case where it
would be harmful for it to be treated as .*-.*-.*.) The conditional
is based on the ELFv1/ELFv2 distinction rather than BE/LE, since
that's what's already tested in configure and used for the ld.so
soname in the Makefiles. (Of course if BE ELFv2 were supported in
future, it would get new symbol versions and so need new
conditionals.)

This patch removes configure tests for assembler CFI support (and
thereby eliminates an architecture-specific case in the main
configure.ac), instead assuming that support is present
unconditionally.
The main test was added in 2003 around the time CFI support was added
to the assembler. cfi_personality and cfi_lsda support were added to
the assembler in 2006. cfi_sections support was added in 2009, a few
weeks before binutils 2.20 was released; it's in 2.20, the minimum
supported version, so even that configure test is obsolete.

One piece of architecture-specific code in the main configure.ac is
the powerpc test that can define BROKEN_PPC_ASM_CR0. There's no need
to move this to a sysdeps configure script, or to work out what bug it
was testing in May 1998 to see if it's still relevant, since nothing
in the source tree now uses the results of this test. Thus, this
patch just removes the test in question.

It has been a long practice for software using IEEE 754 floating-point
arithmetic run on MIPS processors to use an encoding of Not-a-Number
(NaN) data different to one used by software run on other processors.
And as of IEEE 754-2008 revision [1] this encoding does not follow one
recommended in the standard, as specified in section 6.2.1, where it
is stated that quiet NaNs should have the first bit (d1) of their
significand set to 1 while signalling NaNs should have that bit set to
0, but MIPS software interprets the two bits in the opposite manner.
As from revision 3.50 [2][3] the MIPS Architecture provides for
processors that support the IEEE 754-2008 preferred NaN encoding format.
As the two formats (further referred to as "legacy NaN" and "2008 NaN")
are incompatible to each other, tools have to provide support for the
two formats to help people avoid using incompatible binary modules.
The change is comprised of two functional groups of features, both of
which are required for correct support.
1. Dynamic linker support.
To enforce the NaN encoding requirement in dynamic linking a new ELF
file header flag has been defined. This flag is set for 2008-NaN
shared modules and executables and clear for legacy-NaN ones. The
dynamic linker silently ignores any incompatible modules it
encounters in dependency processing.
To avoid unnecessary processing of incompatible modules in the
presence of a shared module cache, a set of new cache flags has been
defined to mark 2008-NaN modules for the three ABIs supported.
Changes to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/readelflib.c have been made
following an earlier code quality suggestion made here:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-ports/2009-03/msg00036.html
and are therefore a little bit more extensive than the minimum
required.
Finally a new name has been defined for the dynamic linker so that
2008-NaN and legacy-NaN binaries can coexist on a single system that
supports dual-mode operation and that a legacy dynamic linker that
does not support verifying the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag is not
chosen to interpret a 2008-NaN binary by accident.
2. Floating environment support.
IEEE 754-2008 features are controlled in the Floating-Point Control
and Status (FCSR) register and updates are needed to floating
environment support so that the 2008-NaN flag is set correctly and
the kernel default, inferred from the 2008-NaN ELF file header flag
at the time an executable is loaded, respected.
As the NaN encoding format is a property of GCC code generation that is
both a user-selected GCC configuration default and can be overridden
with GCC options, code that needs to know what NaN encoding standard it
has been configured for checks for the __mips_nan2008 macro that is
defined internally by GCC whenever the 2008-NaN mode has been selected.
This mode is determined at the glibc configuration time and therefore a
few consistency checks have been added to catch cases where compilation
flags have been overridden by the user.
The 2008 NaN set of features relies on kernel support as the in-kernel
floating-point emulator needs to be aware of the NaN encoding used even
on hard-float processors and configure the FPU context according to the
value of the 2008 NaN ELF file header flag of the executable being
started. As at this time work on kernel support is still in progress
and the relevant changes have not made their way yet to linux.org master
repository.
Therefore the minimum version supported has been artificially set to
10.0.0 so that 2008-NaN code is not accidentally run on a Linux kernel
that does not suppport it. It is anticipated that the version is
adjusted later on to the actual initial linux.org kernel version to
support this feature. Legacy NaN encoding support is unaffected, older
kernel versions remain supported.
