The refactoring did not take the change of variable into account.
Fixes commit 43db5e2c06
("elf: Signal RT_CONSISTENT after relocation processing in dlopen
(bug 31986)").
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.

Auditors can call into the dynamic loader again if
LA_ACT_CONSISTENT, and those recursive calls could observe
r_state != RT_CONSISTENT.
We should consider failing dlopen/dlmopen/dlclose if
r_state != RT_CONSISTENT. The dynamic linker is probably not
in a state in which it can handle reentrant calls. This
needs further investigation.

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

Calling an extern function in a different translation unit before
self-relocation is brittle. The compiler may load the address
at an earlier point in _dl_start, before self-relocation. In
_dl_start_final, the call is behind a compiler barrier, so this
cannot happen.
This case is detected early in the elf/dl-version.c consistency
checks. (These checks could be disabled in the future to allow
the removal of symbol versioning from objects.)
Commit f0b2132b35 ("ld.so: Support moving versioned symbols between
sonames [BZ #24741]) removed another call to _dl_name_match_p. The
_dl_check_caller function no longer exists, and the remaining calls
to _dl_name_match_p happen under the loader lock. This means that
atomic accesses are no longer required for the l_libname list. This
supersedes commit 395be7c218 ("elf: Fix data race in _dl_name_match_p

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.
0x7fffac30: 0x00000000 0x00000021 0x00000000 0x00000000
--------------------------------^^^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
----------------^^^fixed-oldp
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
s390x (64bit) and x86_64 without the fix.

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.
