that are writable and executable at the same time, or to change existing

Ffsll function randomly regress by ~20%, depending on how code gets
aligned in memory. Ffsll function code size is 17 bytes. Since default
function alignment is 16 bytes, it can load on 16, 32, 48 or 64 bytes
aligned memory. When ffsll function load at 16, 32 or 64 bytes aligned
memory, entire code fits in single 64 bytes cache line. When ffsll
function load at 48 bytes aligned memory, it splits in two cache line,
hence random regression.
Ffsll function size reduction from 17 bytes to 12 bytes ensures that it
will always fit in single 64 bytes cache line.
This patch fixes ffsll function random performance regression.

can be different from the current shadow stack and INCSSP can't be

Update longjmp to search for a restore token. If found, use the token
to restore the shadow stack pointer before using INCSSP to pop the

It is a user error if there is a shadow stack switch without leaving a

Previously, CET was enabled by kernel before passing control to user
space and the startup code must disable CET if applications or shared
libraries aren't CET enabled. Since the current kernel only supports
shadow stack and won't enable shadow stack before passing control to
user space, we need to enable shadow stack during startup if the
application and all shared library are shadow stack enabled. There
is no need to disable shadow stack at startup. Shadow stack can only
be enabled in a function which will never return. Otherwise, shadow
stack will underflow at the function return.
1. GL(dl_x86_feature_1) is set to the CET features which are supported
by the processor and are not disabled by the tunable. Only non-zero
features in GL(dl_x86_feature_1) should be enabled. After enabling
shadow stack with ARCH_SHSTK_ENABLE, ARCH_SHSTK_STATUS is used to check
if shadow stack is really enabled.
2. Use ARCH_SHSTK_ENABLE in RTLD_START in dynamic executable. It is
safe since RTLD_START never returns.
3. Call arch_prctl (ARCH_SHSTK_ENABLE) from ARCH_SETUP_TLS in static
executable. Since the start function using ARCH_SETUP_TLS never returns,
it is safe to enable shadow stack in ARCH_SETUP_TLS.
Sync with Linux kernel 6.6 shadow stack interface. Since only x86-64 is
supported, i386 shadow stack codes are unchanged and CET shouldn't be
enabled for i386.
1. When the shadow stack base in TCB is unset, the default shadow stack
is in use. Use the current shadow stack pointer as the marker for the
default shadow stack. It is used to identify if the current shadow stack
is the same as the target shadow stack when switching ucontexts. If yes,
INCSSP will be used to unwind shadow stack. Otherwise, shadow stack
restore token will be used.
2. Allocate shadow stack with the map_shadow_stack syscall. Since there
is no function to explicitly release ucontext, there is no place to
release shadow stack allocated by map_shadow_stack in ucontext functions.
Such shadow stacks will be leaked.
3. Rename arch_prctl CET commands to ARCH_SHSTK_XXX.
4. Rewrite the CET control functions with the current kernel shadow stack
interface.
Since CET is no longer enabled by kernel, a separate patch will enable
shadow stack during startup.

According to ISO C23 (7.6.4.4), fesetexcept is supposed to set
floating-point exception flags without raising a trap (unlike
feraiseexcept, which is supposed to raise a trap if feenableexcept
was called with the appropriate argument).
The flags can be set in the 387 unit or in the SSE unit. When we need
to clear a flag, we need to do so in both units, due to the way
fetestexcept is implemented.
When we need to set a flag, it is sufficient to do it in the SSE unit,
because that is guaranteed to not trap. However, on i386 CPUs that have
only a 387 unit, set the flags in the 387, as long as this cannot trap.

The tunable privilege levels were a retrofit to try and keep the malloc
tunable environment variables' behavior unchanged across security
boundaries. However, CVE-2023-4911 shows how tricky can be
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.

strrchr-evex-base used `vpcompress{b|d}` in the page cross logic but
was missing the CPU_FEATURE checks for VBMI2 in the
ifunc/ifunc-impl-list.
The fix is either to add those checks or change the logic to not use
`vpcompress{b|d}`. Choosing the latter here so that the strrchr-evex
implementation is usable on SKX.
New implementation is a bit slower, but this is in a cold path so its
probably okay.
This commit refactors `strrchr-evex` and `strrchr-evex512` to use a
common implementation: `strrchr-evex-base.S`.
The motivation is `strrchr-evex` needed to be refactored to not use
64-bit masked registers in preperation for AVX10.
Once vec-width masked register combining was removed, the EVEX and
EVEX512 implementations can easily be implemented in the same file
without any major overhead.
The net result is performance improvements (measured on TGL) for both
`strrchr-evex` and `strrchr-evex512`. Although, note there are some
regressions in the test suite and it may be many of the cases that
make the total-geomean of improvement/regression across bench-strrchr
are cold. The point of the performance measurement is to show there
are no major regressions, but the primary motivation is preperation
for AVX10.

Full check passes on x86.
In short: __tls_get_addr checks the global generation counter and if
the current dtv is older then _dl_update_slotinfo updates dtv up to the
generation of the accessed module. So if the global generation is newer
than generation of the module then __tls_get_addr keeps hitting the
slow dtv update path. The dtv update path includes a number of checks
to see if any update is needed and this already causes measurable tls
access slow down after dlopen.
It may be possible to detect up-to-date dtv faster. But if there are
many modules loaded (> TLS_SLOTINFO_SURPLUS) then this requires at
least walking the slotinfo list.
This patch tries to update the dtv to the global generation instead, so
after a dlopen the tls access slow path is only hit once. The modules
with larger generation than the accessed one were not necessarily
synchronized before, so additional synchronization is needed.
This patch uses acquire/release synchronization when accessing the
generation counter.
Note: in the x86_64 version of dl-tls.c the generation is only loaded
once, since relaxed mo is not faster than acquire mo load.

by adding implementations for vector cos, in both single and double
precision, targeting both Advanced SIMD and SVE.
The implementations of the routines themselves are just loops over the
scalar routine from libm for now, as we are more concerned with
getting the plumbing right at this point. We plan to contribute vector
routines from the Arm Optimized Routines repo that are compliant with
requirements described in the libmvec wiki.
Building libmvec requires minimum GCC 10 for SVE ACLE. To avoid raising
the minimum GCC by such a big jump, we allow users to disable libmvec
if their compiler is too old.
Note that at this point users have to manually call the vector math
functions. This seems to be acceptable to some downstream users.

Occurs when `src` has no null-term.
Two cases:
1) Zero-length check is doing:
```
test %rdx, %rdx
jl L(zero_len)
```
which doesn't actually check zero (was at some point `decq` and the
flag never got updated).
The fix is just make the flag `jle` i.e:
```
test %rdx, %rdx
jle L(zero_len)
```
2) Length check in page-cross case checking if we should continue is
doing:
```
cmpq %r8, %rdx
jb L(page_cross_small)
```
which means we will continue searching for null-term if length ends at
the end of a page and there was no null-term in `src`.
The fix is to make the flag:
```
cmpq %r8, %rdx
jbe L(page_cross_small)
```
vfprintf is entangled with vfwprintf (of course), __printf_fp,
__printf_fphex, __vstrfmon_l_internal, and the strfrom family of
functions. The latter use the internal snprintf functionality,
so vsnprintf is converted as well.
The simples conversion is __printf_fphex, followed by
__vstrfmon_l_internal and __printf_fp, and finally
__vfprintf_internal and __vfwprintf_internal. __vsnprintf_internal
and strfrom* are mostly consuming the new interfaces, so they
are comparatively simple.
__printf_fp is a public symbol, so the FILE *-based interface
had to preserved.
The __printf_fp rewrite does not change the actual binary-to-decimal
conversion algorithm, and digits are still not emitted directly to
the target buffer. However, the staging buffer now uses bytes
instead of wide characters, and one buffer copy is eliminated.
The changes are at least performance-neutral in my testing.
Floating point printing and snprintf improved measurably, so that
this Lua script
for i=1,5000000 do
print(i, i * math.pi)
end
runs about 5% faster for me. To preserve fprintf performance for
a simple "%d" format, this commit has some logic changes under
LABEL (unsigned_number) to avoid additional function calls. There
are certainly some very easy performance improvements here: binary,
octal and hexadecimal formatting can easily avoid the temporary work
buffer (the number of digits can be computed ahead-of-time using one
of the __builtin_clz* built-ins). Decimal formatting can use a
specialized version of _itoa_word for base 10.
The existing (inconsistent) width handling between strfmon and printf
is preserved here. __print_fp_buffer_1 would have to use
__translated_number_width to achieve ISO conformance for printf.
Test expectations in libio/tst-vtables-common.c are adjusted because
the internal staging buffer merges all virtual function calls into
one.
In general, stack buffer usage is greatly reduced, particularly for
unbuffered input streams. __printf_fp can still use a large buffer
in binary128 mode for %g, though.

In the case of INCORRECT usage of `memcmp(a, b, N)` where `a` and `b`
are concurrently modified as `memcmp` runs, there can be a SIGSEGV
in `L(ret_nonzero_vec_end_0)` because the sequential logic
assumes that `(rdx - 32 + rax)` is a positive 32-bit integer.
To be clear, this change does not mean the usage of `memcmp` is
supported. The program behaviour is undefined (UB) in the
presence of data races, and `memcmp` is incorrect when the values
of `a` and/or `b` are modified concurrently (data race). This UB
may manifest itself as a SIGSEGV. That being said, if we can
allow the idiomatic use cases, like those in yottadb with
opportunistic concurrency control (OCC), to execute without a
SIGSEGV, at no cost to regular use cases, then we can aim to
minimize harm to those existing users.
The fix replaces a 32-bit `addl %edx, %eax` with the 64-bit variant
`addq %rdx, %rax`. The 1-extra byte of code size from using the
64-bit instruction doesn't contribute to overall code size as the
next target is aligned and has multiple bytes of `nop` padding
before it. As well all the logic between the add and `ret` still
fits in the same fetch block, so the cost of this change is
basically zero.
The relevant sequential logic can be seen in the following
pseudo-code:
```
/*
* rsi = a
* rdi = b
* rdx = len - 32
*/
/* cmp a[0:15] and b[0:15]. Since length is known to be [17, 32]
in this case, this check is also assumed to cover a[0:(31 - len)]
and b[0:(31 - len)]. */
movups (%rsi), %xmm0
movups (%rdi), %xmm1
PCMPEQ %xmm0, %xmm1
pmovmskb %xmm1, %eax
subl %ecx, %eax
jnz L(END_NEQ)
/* cmp a[len-16:len-1] and b[len-16:len-1]. */
movups 16(%rsi, %rdx), %xmm0
movups 16(%rdi, %rdx), %xmm1
PCMPEQ %xmm0, %xmm1
pmovmskb %xmm1, %eax
subl %ecx, %eax
jnz L(END_NEQ2)
ret
L(END2):
/* Position first mismatch. */
bsfl %eax, %eax
/* The sequential version is able to assume this value is a
positive 32-bit value because the first check included bytes in
range a[0:(31 - len)] and b[0:(31 - len)] so `eax` must be
greater than `31 - len` so the minimum value of `edx` + `eax` is
`(len - 32) + (32 - len) >= 0`. In the concurrent case, however,
`a` or `b` could have been changed so a mismatch in `eax` less or
equal than `(31 - len)` is possible (the new low bound is `(16 -
len)`. This can result in a negative 32-bit signed integer, which
when zero extended to 64-bits is a random large value this out
out of bounds. */
addl %edx, %eax
/* Crash here because 32-bit negative number in `eax` zero
extends to out of bounds 64-bit offset. */
movzbl 16(%rdi, %rax), %ecx
movzbl 16(%rsi, %rax), %eax
```
This fix is quite simple, just make the `addl %edx, %eax` 64 bit (i.e
`addq %rdx, %rax`). This prevents the 32-bit zero extension
and since `eax` is still a low bound of `16 - len` the `rdx + rax`
is bound by `(len - 32) - (16 - len) >= -16`. Since we have a
fixed offset of `16` in the memory access this must be in bounds.
On x32, the size_t parameter may be passed in the lower 32 bits of a

functions written in assembly can only use the lower 32 bits of a

the full 64-bit register for length.

The old exception handling implementation used function interposition
to replace the dynamic loader implementation (no TLS support) with the
libc implementation (TLS support). This results in problems if the
link order between the dynamic loader and libc is reversed (bug 25486).
The new implementation moves the entire implementation of the
exception handling functions back into the dynamic loader, using
THREAD_GETMEM and THREAD_SETMEM for thread-local data support.
These depends on Hurd support for these macros, added in commit
b65a82e4e7 ("hurd: Add THREAD_GET/SETMEM/_NC").
One small obstacle is that the exception handling facilities are used
before the TCB has been set up, so a check is needed if the TCB is
available. If not, a regular global variable is used to store the
exception handling information.
Also rename dl-error.c to dl-catch.c, to avoid confusion with the
dlerror function.

GCC 13 has added more _FloatN and _FloatNx versions of existing
<math.h> and <complex.h> built-in functions, for use in libstdc++-v3.
This breaks the glibc build because of how those functions are defined
as aliases to functions with the same ABI but different types. Add
appropriate -fno-builtin-* options for compiling relevant files, as
already done for the case of long double functions aliasing double
ones and based on the list of files used there.
I fixed some mistakes in that list of double files that I noticed
while implementing this fix, but there may well be more such
(harmless) cases, in this list or the new one (files that don't
actually exist or don't define the named functions as aliases so don't
need the options). I did try to exclude cases where glibc doesn't
define certain functions for _FloatN or _FloatNx types at all from the
new uses of -fno-builtin-* options. As with the options for double
files (see the commit message for commit
49348beafe, "Fix build with GCC 10 when
long double = double."), it's deliberate that the options are used
even if GCC currently doesn't have a built-in version of a given
functions, so providing some level of future-proofing against more
such built-in functions being added in future.

x86: Optimize strrchr-evex.S and implement with VMM headers
Added `vpcompress{b|d}` to the page-cross logic with is an
AVX512-VBMI2 instruction. This is not supported on SKX. Since the
page-cross logic is relatively cold and the benefit is minimal
revert the page-cross case back to the old logic which is supported
on SKX.
Tested on x86-64.
Optimization is:
1. Cache latest result in "fast path" loop with `vmovdqu` instead of
`kunpckdq`. This helps if there are more than one matches.

4. Align labels less aggressively, especially if it doesn't save fetch
blocks / causes the basic-block to span extra cache-lines.
The optimizations (especially for point 2) make the memchr and
rawmemchr code essentially incompatible so split rawmemchr-evex
to a new file.
Code Size Changes:
memchr-evex.S : -107 bytes
rawmemchr-evex.S : -53 bytes
Net perf changes:
Reported as geometric mean of all improvements / regressions from N=10
runs of the benchtests. Value as New Time / Old Time so < 1.0 is
improvement and 1.0 is regression.
memchr-evex.S : 0.928
rawmemchr-evex.S : 0.986 (Less targets cross cache lines)

This patch implements following evex512 version of string functions.
evex512 version takes up to 30% less cycle as compared to evex,
depending on length and alignment.
- memchr function using 512 bit vectors.
- rawmemchr function using 512 bit vectors.
- wmemchr function using 512 bit vectors.
Code size data:
memchr-evex.o 762 byte
memchr-evex512.o 576 byte (-24%)
rawmemchr-evex.o 461 byte
rawmemchr-evex512.o 412 byte (-11%)
wmemchr-evex.o 794 byte
wmemchr-evex512.o 552 byte (-30%)
Placeholder function, not used by any processor at the moment.

In the future, this will result in a compilation failure if the
macros are unexpectedly undefined (due to header inclusion ordering
or header inclusion missing altogether).
Assembler sources are more difficult to convert. In many cases,
they are hand-optimized for the mangling and no-mangling variants,
which is why they are not converted.
sysdeps/s390/s390-32/__longjmp.c and sysdeps/s390/s390-64/__longjmp.c
are special: These are C sources, but most of the implementation is
in assembler, so the PTR_DEMANGLE macro has to be undefined in some
cases, to match the assembler style.

This allows us to define a generic no-op version of PTR_MANGLE and
PTR_DEMANGLE. In the future, we can use PTR_MANGLE and PTR_DEMANGLE
unconditionally in C sources, avoiding an unintended loss of hardening
due to missing include files or unlucky header inclusion ordering.
In i386 and x86_64, we can avoid a <tls.h> dependency in the C
code by using the computed constant from <tcb-offsets.h>. <sysdep.h>
no longer includes these definitions, so there is no cyclic dependency
anymore when computing the <tcb-offsets.h> constants.

This way, we can define the pointer guard macros without including
<sysdep.h> on x86-64. Other architectures will not have such an
inclusion dependency, and the implied header file inclusion would
create a porting hazard.

To avoid duplicate the VMM / GPR / mask insn macros in all incoming
evex512 files use the macros defined in 'reg-macros.h' and
'{vec}-macros.h'
