This patch fixes the i386 sa_restorer field initialization for sigaction
syscall for kernel with vDSO. As described in bug report, i386 Linux
(and compat on x86_64) interprets SA_RESTORER clear with nonzero
sa_restorer as a request for stack switching if the SS segment is 'funny'.
This means that anything that tries to mix glibc's signal handling with
segmentation (for instance through modify_ldt syscall) is randomly broken
depending on what values lands in sa_restorer.
The testcase added is based on Linux test tools/testing/selftests/x86/ldt_gdt.c,
more specifically in do_multicpu_tests function. The main changes are:
- C11 atomics instead of plain access.
- Remove x86_64 support which simplifies the syscall handling and fallbacks.
- Replicate only the test required to trigger the issue.
Checked on i686-linux-gnu.

Unlike other nscd caches, the netgroup cache contains two types of
records - those for "iterate through a netgroup" (i.e. setnetgrent())
and those for "is this user in this netgroup" (i.e. innetgr()),
i.e. full and partial records. The timeout code assumes these records
have the same key for the group name, so that the collection of records
that is "this netgroup" can be expired as a unit.
However, the keys are not the same, as the in-netgroup key is generated
by nscd rather than being passed to it from elsewhere, and is generated
without the trailing NUL. All other keys have the trailing NUL, and as
noted in the linked BZ, debug statements confirm that two keys for the
same netgroup are added to the cache with two different lengths.
The result of this is that as records in the cache expire, the purge
code only cleans out one of the two types of entries, resulting in
stale, possibly incorrect, and possibly inconsistent cache data.
The patch simply includes the existing NUL in the computation for the
key length ('key' points to the char after the NUL, and 'group' to the
first char of the group, so 'key-group' includes the first char to the
NUL, inclusive).

Currently getcwd(3) can succeed without returning an absolute path
because the underlying getcwd syscall, starting with linux commit
v2.6.36-rc1~96^2~2, may succeed without returning an absolute path.
This is a conformance issue because "The getcwd() function shall
place an absolute pathname of the current working directory
in the array pointed to by buf, and return buf".
This is also a security issue because a non-absolute path returned
by getcwd(3) causes a buffer underflow in realpath(3).
Fix this by checking the path returned by getcwd syscall and falling
back to generic_getcwd if the path is not absolute, effectively making
getcwd(3) fail with ENOENT. The error code is chosen for consistency
with the case when the current directory is unlinked.

The fillin_rpath function in elf/dl-load.c loops over each RPATH or
RUNPATH tokens and interprets empty tokens as the current directory
("./"). In practice the check for empty token is done *after* the
dynamic string token expansion. The expansion process can return an
empty string for the $ORIGIN token if __libc_enable_secure is set
or if the path of the binary can not be determined (/proc not mounted).
Fix that by moving the check for empty tokens before the dynamic string
token expansion. In addition, check for NULL pointer or empty strings
return by expand_dynamic_string_token.
The above changes highlighted a bug in decompose_rpath, an empty array
is represented by the first element being NULL at the fillin_rpath
level, but by using a -1 pointer in decompose_rpath and other functions.

libio.h was originally the header for a set of supported GNU
extensions, but they have not been maintained as such in many years,
they are now standing in the way of improvements to stdio, and we
don't think there are any remaining external users. _G_config.h was
never intended for public use, but predates the bits convention.
Move both of these headers into the bits directory and provide stubs
at top level which issue deprecation warnings.
The contents of (bits/)libio.h and (bits/)_G_config.h are still
exposed to external software via stdio.h; changing that requires more

ldconfig supports `include' directives and use the glob function to
process them. The glob function sort entries according to the LC_COLLATE
category. When using a standard "include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf" entry
in /etc/ld.so.conf, the order therefore depends on the locale used to
run ldconfig. A few examples of locale specific order that might be
disturbing in that context compared to the C locale:
- The cs_CZ and sk_SK locales sort the digits after the letters.
- The et_EE locale sorts the 'z' between 's' and 't'.
This patch fixes that by setting LC_COLLATE to C in order to process
files in deterministic order, independently of the locale used to launch
ldconfig.
NOTE: This should NOT be backported to older release branches.
Changelog:
[BZ #22505]
* elf/ldconfig.c (main): Call setlocale to force LC_COLLATE to C.
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.

1K+ bytes - 80-260% gain (in cache); 40-80% gain (out of cache)
For memset zero data (and bzero),
256-1023 bytes - 80-120% gain (in cache), 0% gain (out of cache)
1024+ bytes - 2-4x gain (in cache), 10-35% gain (out of cache)
Tested in sparcv9-*-* and sparc64-*-* targets in both multi and
non-multi arch configurations.

There is a configure option --without-fp that specifies that nofpu
sysdeps directories should be used instead of fpu directories.
For most glibc configurations, this option is of no use: either there
is no valid nofpu variant of that configuration, or there are no fpu
or nofpu sysdeps directories for that processor and so the option does
nothing. For a few configurations, if you are using a soft-float
compiler this option is required, and failing to use it generally
results in compilation errors from inline asm using unavailable
floating-point instructions.
We're moving away from --with-cpu to configuring glibc based on how
the compiler generates code, and it is natural to do so for
--without-fp as well; in most cases the soft-float and hard-float ABIs
are incompatible so you have no hope of building a working glibc with
an inappropriately configured compiler or libgcc.
This patch eliminates --without-fp, replacing it entirely by automatic
configuration based on the compiler. Configurations for which this is
relevant (coldfire / mips / powerpc32 / sh) define a variable
with_fp_cond in their preconfigure fragments (under the same
conditions under which those fragments do anything); this is a
preprocessor conditional which the toplevel configure script then uses
in a test to determine which sysdeps directories to use.
The config.make with-fp variable remains. It's used only by powerpc
(sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/Makefile) to add -mhard-float to various
flags variables. For powerpc, -mcpu= options can imply use of
soft-float. That could be an issue if you want to build for
e.g. 476fp, but are using --with-cpu=476 because there isn't a 476fp
sysdeps directory. If in future we eliminate --with-cpu and replace
it entirely by testing the compiler, it would be natural at that point
to eliminate that code as well (as the user should then just use a
compiler defaulting to 476fp and the 476 sysdeps directory would be
used automatically).
Tested for x86_64, and tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed
shared libraries are unchanged by this patch.
