Before commit ee1ada1bdb
("elf: Rework exception handling in the dynamic loader
[BZ #25486]"), the previous order called the main calloc
to allocate a shadow GOT/PLT array for auditing support.
This happened before libc.so.6 ELF constructors were run, so
a user malloc could run without libc.so.6 having been
initialized fully. One observable effect was that
environ was NULL at this point.
It does not seem to be possible at present to trigger such
an allocation, but it seems more robust to delay switching
to main malloc after ld.so self-relocation is complete.
The elf/tst-rtld-no-malloc-audit test case fails with a
2.34-era glibc that does not have this fix.

Previously, a la_activity audit event was generated before
relocation processing completed. This does did not match what
happened during initial startup in elf/rtld.c (towards the end
of dl_main). It also caused various problems if an auditor
tried to open the same shared object again using dlmopen:
If it was the directly loaded object, it had a search scope
associated with it, so the early exit in dl_open_worker_begin
was taken even though the object was unrelocated. This caused
the r_state == RT_CONSISTENT assert to fail. Avoidance of the
assert also depends on reversing the order of r_state update
and auditor event (already implemented in a previous commit).
At the later point, args->map can be NULL due to failure,
so use the assigned namespace ID instead if that is available.

This is conceptually similar to the reported bug, but does not
depend on auditing. The fix is simple: just complete execution
of the constructors. This exposed the fact that the link map
for statically linked executables does not have l_init_called
set, even though constructors have run.

The current racy approach is to enable asynchronous cancellation
before making the syscall and restore the previous cancellation
type once the syscall returns, and check if cancellation has happen
during the cancellation entrypoint.
As described in BZ#12683, this approach shows 2 problems:
1. Cancellation can act after the syscall has returned from the
kernel, but before userspace saves the return value. It might
result in a resource leak if the syscall allocated a resource or a
side effect (partial read/write), and there is no way to program
handle it with cancellation handlers.
2. If a signal is handled while the thread is blocked at a cancellable
syscall, the entire signal handler runs with asynchronous
cancellation enabled. This can lead to issues if the signal
handler call functions which are async-signal-safe but not
async-cancel-safe.
For the cancellation to work correctly, there are 5 points at which the
cancellation signal could arrive:
[ ... )[ ... )[ syscall ]( ...
1 2 3 4 5
1. Before initial testcancel, e.g. [*... testcancel)
2. Between testcancel and syscall start, e.g. [testcancel...syscall start)
3. While syscall is blocked and no side effects have yet taken
place, e.g. [ syscall ]
4. Same as 3 but with side-effects having occurred (e.g. a partial
read or write).
5. After syscall end e.g. (syscall end...*]
And libc wants to act on cancellation in cases 1, 2, and 3 but not
in cases 4 or 5. For the 4 and 5 cases, the cancellation will eventually
happen in the next cancellable entrypoint without any further external
event.
The proposed solution for each case is:
1. Do a conditional branch based on whether the thread has received
a cancellation request;
2. It can be caught by the signal handler determining that the saved
program counter (from the ucontext_t) is in some address range
beginning just before the "testcancel" and ending with the
syscall instruction.
3. SIGCANCEL can be caught by the signal handler and determine that
the saved program counter (from the ucontext_t) is in the address
range beginning just before "testcancel" and ending with the first
uninterruptable (via a signal) syscall instruction that enters the
kernel.
4. In this case, except for certain syscalls that ALWAYS fail with
EINTR even for non-interrupting signals, the kernel will reset
the program counter to point at the syscall instruction during
signal handling, so that the syscall is restarted when the signal
handler returns. So, from the signal handler's standpoint, this
looks the same as case 2, and thus it's taken care of.
5. For syscalls with side-effects, the kernel cannot restart the
syscall; when it's interrupted by a signal, the kernel must cause
the syscall to return with whatever partial result is obtained
(e.g. partial read or write).
6. The saved program counter points just after the syscall
instruction, so the signal handler won't act on cancellation.
This is similar to 4. since the program counter is past the syscall
instruction.
So The proposed fixes are:
1. Remove the enable_asynccancel/disable_asynccancel function usage in
cancellable syscall definition and instead make them call a common
symbol that will check if cancellation is enabled (__syscall_cancel
at nptl/cancellation.c), call the arch-specific cancellable
entry-point (__syscall_cancel_arch), and cancel the thread when
required.
2. Provide an arch-specific generic system call wrapper function
that contains global markers. These markers will be used in
SIGCANCEL signal handler to check if the interruption has been
called in a valid syscall and if the syscalls has side-effects.
A reference implementation sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscall_cancel.c
is provided. However, the markers may not be set on correct
expected places depending on how INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NCS is
implemented by the architecture. It is expected that all
architectures add an arch-specific implementation.
3. Rewrite SIGCANCEL asynchronous handler to check for both canceling
type and if current IP from signal handler falls between the global
markers and act accordingly.
4. Adjust libc code to replace LIBC_CANCEL_ASYNC/LIBC_CANCEL_RESET to
use the appropriate cancelable syscalls.
5. Adjust 'lowlevellock-futex.h' arch-specific implementations to
provide cancelable futex calls.
Some architectures require specific support on syscall handling:
* On i386 the syscall cancel bridge needs to use the old int80
instruction because the optimized vDSO symbol the resulting PC value
for an interrupted syscall points to an address outside the expected
markers in __syscall_cancel_arch. It has been discussed in LKML [1]
on how kernel could help userland to accomplish it, but afaik
discussion has stalled.
Also, sysenter should not be used directly by libc since its calling
convention is set by the kernel depending of the underlying x86 chip
(check kernel commit 30bfa7b3488bfb1bb75c9f50a5fcac1832970c60).
* mips o32 is the only kABI that requires 7 argument syscall, and to
avoid add a requirement on all architectures to support it, mips
support is added with extra internal defines.

The old code used l_init_called as an indicator for whether TLS
initialization was complete. However, it is possible that
TLS for an object is initialized, written to, and then dlopen
for this object is called again, and l_init_called is not true at
this point. Previously, this resulted in TLS being initialized
twice, discarding any interim writes (technically introducing a
use-after-free bug even).
This commit introduces an explicit per-object flag, l_tls_in_slotinfo.
It indicates whether _dl_add_to_slotinfo has been called for this
object. This flag is used to avoid double-initialization of TLS.
In update_tls_slotinfo, the first_static_tls micro-optimization
is removed because preserving the initalization flag for subsequent
use by the second loop for static TLS is a bit complicated, and
another per-object flag does not seem to be worth it. Furthermore,
the l_init_called flag is dropped from the second loop (for static
TLS initialization) because l_need_tls_init on its own prevents
double-initialization.
The remaining l_init_called usage in resize_scopes and update_scopes
is just an optimization due to the use of scope_has_map, so it is
not changed in this commit.
The isupper check ensures that libc.so.6 is TLS is not reverted.
Such a revert happens if l_need_tls_init is not cleared in
_dl_allocate_tls_init for the main_thread case, now that
l_init_called is not checked anymore in update_tls_slotinfo
in elf/dl-open.c.

While working on a patch to add support for the extensible rseq ABI, we
came across an issue where a new 'const' variable would be merged with
the existing '__rseq_size' variable. We tracked this to the use of
'-fmerge-all-constants' which allows the compiler to merge identical
constant variables. This means that all 'const' variables in a compile
unit that are of the same size and are initialized to the same value can
be merged.
In this specific case, on 32 bit systems 'unsigned int' and 'ptrdiff_t'
are both 4 bytes and initialized to 0 which should trigger the merge.
However for reasons we haven't delved into when the attribute 'section
(".data.rel.ro")' is added to the mix, only variables of the same exact
types are merged. As far as we know this behavior is not specified
anywhere and could change with a new compiler version, hence this patch.
Move the definitions of these variables into an assembler file and add
hidden writable aliases for internal use. This has the added bonus of
removing the asm workaround to set the values on rseq registration.

elf/rtld: Count skipped environment variables for enable_secure
The new testcase elf/tst-tunables-enable_secure-env segfaults on s390 (31bit).
There _start parses the auxiliary vector for some additional checks.
Therefore it skips over the zeros after the environment variables ...
0x7fffac20: 0x7fffbd17 0x7fffbd32 0x7fffbd69 0x00000000
------------------------------------------------^^^last environment variable
... and then it parses the auxiliary vector and stops at AT_NULL.

--------------------------------^^^AT_SYSINFO_EHDR--------------^^^AT_NULL
----------------^^^newp-----------------------------------------^^^oldp
Afterwards it tries to access AT_PHDR which points to somewhere and segfaults.
Due to not incorporating the skip_env variable in the computation of oldp
when shuffling down the auxv in rtld.c, it just copies one entry with AT_NULL
and value 0x00000021 and stops the loop. In reality we have skipped
GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variable (=> skip_env=1). Thus we should copy from
here:
0x7fffac40: 0x00000021 0x7ffff000 0x00000010 0x007fffff

This patch fixes the computation of oldp when shuffling down auxiliary vector.
It also adds some checks in the testcase. Those checks also fail on

It turns out that quite a few applications use bundled mallocs that
have been built to use global-dynamic TLS (instead of the recommended
initial-exec TLS). The previous workaround from
commit afe42e935b ("elf: Avoid some
free (NULL) calls in _dl_update_slotinfo") does not fix all
encountered cases unfortunatelly.
This change avoids the TLS generation update for recursive use
of TLS from a malloc that was called during a TLS update. This
is possible because an interposed malloc has a fixed module ID and
TLS slot. (It cannot be unloaded.) If an initially-loaded module ID
is encountered in __tls_get_addr and the dynamic linker is already
in the middle of a TLS update, use the outdated DTV, thus avoiding
another call into malloc. It's still necessary to update the
DTV to the most recent generation, to get out of the slow path,
which is why the check for recursion is needed.
The bookkeeping is done using a global counter instead of per-thread
flag because TLS access in the dynamic linker is tricky.
All this will go away once the dynamic linker stops using malloc
for TLS, likely as part of a change that pre-allocates all TLS
during pthread_create/dlopen.

This is a minimal regression test for bug 29039 which only affects
targets with TLSDESC and a reproducer requires that
1) Have modid gaps (closed modules) with old generation.
2) Update a DTV to a newer generation (needs a newer dlopen).
3) But do not update the closed gap entry in that DTV.
4) Reuse the modid gap for a new module (another dlopen).
5) Use dynamic TLSDESC in that new module with old generation (bug).
6) Access TLS via this TLSDESC and the now outdated DTV.
However step (3) in practice rarely happens: during DTV update the
entries for closed modids are initialized to "unallocated" and then
dynamic TLSDESC calls __tls_get_addr independently of its generation.
The only exception to this is DTV setup at thread creation (gaps are
initialized to NULL instead of unallocated) or DTV resize where the
gap entries are outside the previous DTV array (again NULL instead
of unallocated, and this requires loading > DTV_SURPLUS modules).
So the bug can only cause NULL (+ offset) dereference, not use after
free. And the easiest way to get (3) is via thread creation.
Note that step (5) requires that the newly loaded module has larger
TLS than the remaining optional static TLS. And for (6) there cannot
be other TLS access or dlopen in the thread that updates the DTV.

Most library behavior tunings is limited to the current process and does

tunable parsing in a security-sensitive environment.
Not only parsing, but the malloc tunable essentially changes some
semantics on setuid/setgid processes. Although it is not a direct
security issue, allowing users to change setuid/setgid semantics is not
a good security practice, and requires extra code and analysis to check
if each tunable is safe to use on all security boundaries.
It also means that security opt-in features, like aarch64 MTE, would
need to be explicit enabled by an administrator with a wrapper script
or with a possible future system-wide tunable setting.

The open_path stops if a relative path in search path contains a
component that is a non directory (for instance, if the component
is an existing file).
For instance:
$ cat > lib.c <<EOF
> void foo (void) {}
> EOF
$ gcc -shared -fPIC -o lib.so lib.c
$ cat > main.c <<EOF
extern void foo ();
int main () { foo (); return 0; }
EOF
$ gcc -o main main.c lib.so
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./main
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=non-existing/path:. ./main
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd)/main:. ./main
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./main:. ./main
./main: error while loading shared libraries: lib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The invalid './main' should be ignored as a non-existent one,
instead as a valid but non accessible file.
Absolute paths do not trigger this issue because their status are
initialized as 'unknown' and open_path check if this is a directory.

The PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME support is only enabled through a configurable
kernel switch, mainly because assigning a name to a
anonymous virtual memory area might prevent that area from being
merged with adjacent virtual memory areas.
For instance, with the following code:
void *p1 = mmap (NULL,
1024 * 4096,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1,
0);
void *p2 = mmap (p1 + (1024 * 4096),
1024 * 4096,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1,
0);
The kernel will potentially merge both mappings resulting in only one
segment of size 0x800000. If the segment is names with
PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME with different names, it results in two mappings.
Although this will unlikely be an issue for pthread stacks and malloc
arenas (since for pthread stacks the guard page will result in
a PROT_NONE segment, similar to the alignment requirement for the arena
block), it still might prevent the mmap memory allocated for detail
malloc.
There is also another potential scalability issue, where the prctl
requires
to take the mmap global lock which is still not fully fixed in Linux
[1] (for pthread stacks and arenas, it is mitigated by the stack
cached and the arena reuse).
So this patch disables anonymous mapping annotations as default and
add a new tunable, glibc.mem.decorate_maps, can be used to enable
it.

Add anonymous mmap annotations on loader malloc, malloc when it
allocates memory with mmap, and on malloc arena. The /proc/self/maps
will now print:
[anon: glibc: malloc arena]
[anon: glibc: malloc]
[anon: glibc: loader malloc]
On arena allocation, glibc annotates only the read/write mapping.

Linux 4.5 removed thread stack annotations due to the complexity of
computing them [1], and Linux added PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME on 5.17
as a way to name anonymous virtual memory areas.
This patch adds decoration on the stack created and used by
pthread_create, for glibc crated thread stack the /proc/self/maps will
now show:
[anon: glibc: pthread stack: <tid>]
And for user-provided stacks:
[anon: glibc: pthread user stack: <tid>]
The guard page is not decorated, and the mapping name is cleared when
the thread finishes its execution (so the cached stack does not have any
name associated).

All the crypt related functions, cryptographic algorithms, and
make requirements are removed, with only the exception of md5
implementation which is moved to locale folder since it is
required by localedef for integrity protection (libc's
locale-reading code does not check these, but localedef does
generate them).
Besides thec code itself, both internal documentation and the
manual is also adjusted. This allows to remove both --enable-crypt
and --enable-nss-crypt configure options.

Previously, after destructors for a DSO have been invoked, ld.so refused
to bind against that DSO in all cases. Relax this restriction somewhat
if the referencing object is itself a DSO that is being unloaded. This
assumes that the symbol reference is not going to be stored anywhere.
The situation in the test case can arise fairly easily with C++ and
objects that are built with different optimization levels and therefore
define different functions with vague linkage.

When dlopen is being called, efforts have been made to improve
future lookup performance. This includes marking a search path
as non-existent using `stat`. However, if the root directory
is given as a search path, there exists a bug which erroneously
marks it as non-existing.
The bug is reproduced under the following sequence:
1. dlopen is called to open a shared library, with at least:
1) a dependency 'A.so' not directly under the '/' directory
(e.g. /lib/A.so), and
2) another dependency 'B.so' resides in '/'.
2. for this bug to reproduce, 'A.so' should be searched *before* 'B.so'.
3. it first tries to find 'A.so' in /, (e.g. /A.so):
- this will (obviously) fail,
- since it's the first time we have seen the '/' directory,
its 'status' is 'unknown'.
4. `buf[buflen - namelen - 1] = '\0'` is executed:
- it intends to remove the leaf and its final slash,
- because of the speciality of '/', its buflen == namelen + 1,
- it erroneously clears the entire buffer.
6. it then calls 'stat' with the empty buffer:
- which will result in an error.
7. so it marks '/' as 'nonexisting', future lookups will not consider
this path.
8. while /B.so *does* exist, failure to look it up in the '/'
directory leads to a 'cannot open shared object file' error.
This patch fixes the bug by preventing 'buflen', an index to put '\0',
from being set to 0, so that the root '/' is always kept.
Relative search paths are always considered as 'existing' so this
wont be affected.
