Timothy E Baldwin 4d330cee37 linux-user: Provide safe_syscall for fixing races between signals and syscalls
If a signal is delivered immediately before a blocking system call the
handler will only be called after the system call returns, which may be a
long time later or never.

This is fixed by using a function (safe_syscall) that checks if a guest
signal is pending prior to making a system call, and if so does not call the
system call and returns -TARGET_ERESTARTSYS. If a signal is received between
the check and the system call host_signal_handler() rewinds execution to
before the check. This rewinding has the effect of closing the race window
so that safe_syscall will reliably either (a) go into the host syscall
with no unprocessed guest signals pending or or (b) return
-TARGET_ERESTARTSYS so that the caller can deal with the signals.
Implementing this requires a per-host-architecture assembly language
fragment.

This will also resolve the mishandling of the SA_RESTART flag where
we would restart a host system call and not call the guest signal handler
until the syscall finally completed -- syscall restarting now always
happens at the guest syscall level so the guest signal handler will run.
(The host syscall will never be restarted because if the host kernel
rewinds the PC to point at the syscall insn for a restart then our
host_signal_handler() will see this and arrange the guest PC rewind.)

This commit contains the infrastructure for implementing safe_syscall
and the assembly language fragment for x86-64, but does not change any
syscalls to use it.

Riku Voipio a42267ef58 linux-user: fix gcc-4.9 compiler error on __{get,put]}_user
gcc-4.9 finds unused operand:

linux-user/syscall.c: In function ‘host_to_target_stat64’:
linux-user/qemu.h:301:19: error: right-hand operand of comma expression

      ((hptr), (x)), 0)

Just removing the rh operand is no good, it will error in later:

linux-user/main.c: In function ‘arm_kernel_cmpxchg64_helper’:
linux-user/qemu.h:330:15: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
         __ret = __put_user((x), __hptr);    \

Thus, remove setting __ret from __get_user and __put_user, as and
set the right hand operand to (void)0 to make it clear that these
return never nothing.

This commit depends on the signal.c cleanup, to ensure bisectable
version history.

Peter Maydell a7ec0f98e3 linux-user: Don't allow guest to block SIGSEGV
Don't allow the linux-user guest to block SIGSEGV -- QEMU needs this
signal to detect accesses to pages which it has marked read-only
because it has cached translated code from them.

We implement this by making the do_sigprocmask() wrapper suppress
SIGSEGV when doing the host process signal mask manipulation; instead
we store the current state of SIGSEGV in the TaskState struct.

If we get a SIGSEGV for the guest when the guest has blocked the
signal, we treat it as if the default SEGV handler was in place,
as the kernel does for forced SIGSEGV delivery.

This patch is based on an idea by Alex Barcelo, but rather than
simply lying to the guest about the SIGSEGV state we track it.

Peter Maydell 4a24a75810 linux-user: Allow targets to specify a minimum uname release
For newer target architectures, glibc can be picky about the kernel
version: for example, it will not run on an aarch64 system unless
the kernel reports itself as at least 3.8.0. Accommodate this by
enhancing the existing support for faking the kernel version so
that each target can optionally specify a minimum version: if
the user doesn't force a specific fake version then we will override
with the minimum required version only if the real host kernel
version is insufficient.

Use this facility to let aarch64 report a minimum of 3.8.0.

Peter Maydell 24cb36a61c configure: Make NPTL non-optional
Now all linux-user targets support building with NPTL, we can make it
mandatory. This is a good idea because:
 * NPTL is no longer new and experimental; it is completely standard
 * in practice, linux-user without NPTL is nearly useless for
   binaries built against non-ancient glibc
 * it allows us to delete the rather untested code for handling
   the non-NPTL configuration

Note that this patch leaves the CONFIG_USE_NPTL ifdefs in the
bsd-user codebase alone. This makes no change for bsd-user, since
our configure test for NPTL had a "#include <linux/futex.h>"
which means bsd-user would never have been compiled with
CONFIG_USE_NPTL defined, and it still is not.

Remove an unnecessary local variable from the __get_user() and
__put_user() macros. This avoids confusing compilation failures
if the name of the local variable ('size') happens to be the
same as the variable the macro user is trying to read/write.

Nathan Froyd 48e15fc2de linux-user: fix memory leaks with NPTL emulation
Running programs that create large numbers of threads, such as this
snippet from libstdc++'s pthread7-rope.cc:

  const int max_thread_count = 4;
  const int max_loop_count = 10000;
  ...
  for (int j = 0; j < max_loop_count; j++)
    {
      ...
      for (int i = 0; i < max_thread_count; i++)
	pthread_create (&tid[i], NULL, thread_main, 0);

      for (int i = 0; i < max_thread_count; i++)
	pthread_join (tid[i], NULL);
    }

in user-mode emulation will quickly run out of memory.  This is caused
by a failure to free memory in do_syscall prior to thread exit:

          /* TODO: Free CPU state.  */
          pthread_exit(NULL);

The first step in fixing this is to make all TaskStates used by QEMU
dynamically allocated.  The TaskState used by the initial thread was
not, as it was allocated on main's stack.  So fix that, free the
cpu_env, free the TaskState, and we're home free, right?

Not exactly.  When we create a thread, we do:

        ts = qemu_mallocz(sizeof(TaskState) + NEW_STACK_SIZE);
        ...
        new_stack = ts->stack;
        ...
        ret = pthread_attr_setstack(&attr, new_stack, NEW_STACK_SIZE);

If we blindly free the TaskState, then, we yank the current (host)
thread's stack out from underneath it while it still has things to do,
like calling pthread_exit.  That causes problems, as you might expect.

The solution adopted here is to let the C library allocate the thread's
stack (so the C library can properly clean it up at pthread_exit) and
provide a hint that we want NEW_STACK_SIZE bytes of stack.

With those two changes, we're done, right?  Well, almost.  You see,
we're creating all these host threads and their parent threads never
bother to check that their children are finished.  There's no good place
for the parent threads to do so.  Therefore, we need to create the
threads in a detached state so the parent thread doesn't have to call
pthread_join on the child to release the child's resources; the child
does so automatically.

With those three major changes, we can comfortably run programs like the
above without exhausting memory.  We do need to delete 'stack' from the
TaskState structure.

Stefan Weil e5924d8980 Replace most gcc format attributes by macro GCC_FMT_ATTR (format checking)
Since version 4.4.x, gcc supports additional format attributes.
    __attribute__ ((format (gnu_printf, 1, 2)))
should be used instead of
    __attribute__ ((format (printf, 1, 2))
because QEMU always uses standard format strings (even with mingw32).

The patch replaces format attribute printf / __printf__ by macro
GCC_FMT_ATTR which uses gnu_printf if supported.

It also removes an #ifdef __GNUC__ (not needed any longer).

Richard Henderson 9955ffac9a linux-user: Reduce lseek+reads while loading elf files.
Define BPRM_BUF_SIZE to 1k and read that amount initially.  If the
data we want from the binary is in this buffer, use it instead of
reading from the file again.

Paul Brook 97374d3858 Usermode exec-stack fix
When loading a shared library that requires an executable stack,
glibc uses the mprotext PROT_GROWSDOWN flag to achieve this.
We don't support PROT_GROWSDOWN.
Add a special case to handle changing the stack permissions in this way.

Richard Henderson 6495a04457 linux-user: Remove ELFLOAD32.
The ABI-specific types used by linux_binprm and image_info
are different after forcing TARGET_ABI32 on.  Which means
that the parameters that load_elf_binary_multi sees are not
those that loader_exec passed.  This is inherently broken
and is more trouble than it's worth fixing.

Richard Henderson 703e0e89c6 linux-user: Use RLIMIT_STACK for default stack size.
The current default stack limit of 512kB is far too small; a fair
number of gcc testsuite failures (for all guests) are directly
attributable to this.  Using the -s option in every invocation of
the emulator is annoying to say the least.

A reasonable compromise seems to be to honor the system rlimit.
At least on two Linux distributions, this is set to 8MB and 10MB
respectively.  If the system does not limit the stack, then we're
no worse off than before.

At the same time, rename the variable from x86_stack_size and
change the ultimate fallback size from 512kB to 8MB.
