Current implementation of tunables does not set arena_max and arena_test
values. Any value provided by glibc.malloc.arena_max and
glibc.malloc.arena_test parameters is ignored.
These tunables have minval value set to 1 (see elf/dl-tunables.list file)
and undefined maxval value. In that case default value (which is 0. see
scripts/gen-tunables.awk) is being used to set maxval.
For instance, generated tunable_list[] entry for arena_max is:
(gdb) p *cur
$1 = {name = 0x7ffff7df6217 "glibc.malloc.arena_max",
type = {type_code = TUNABLE_TYPE_SIZE_T, min = 1, max = 0},
val = {numval = 0, strval = 0x0}, initialized = false,
security_level = TUNABLE_SECLEVEL_SXID_IGNORE,
env_alias = 0x7ffff7df622e "MALLOC_ARENA_MAX"}
As a result, any value of glibc.malloc.arena_max is ignored by
TUNABLE_SET_VAL_IF_VALID_RANGE macro
__type min = (__cur)->type.min; <- initialized to 1
__type max = (__cur)->type.max; <- initialized to 0!
if (min == max) <- false
{
min = __default_min;
max = __default_max;
}
if ((__type) (__val) >= min && (__type) (val) <= max) <- false
{
(__cur)->val.numval = val;
(__cur)->initialized = true;
}
Assigning correct min/max values at a build time fixes a problem.
Plus, a bit of optimization: Setting of default min/max values for the
given type at a run time might be eliminated.
* elf/dl-tunables.c (do_tunable_update_val): Range checking fix.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Set unspecified minval and/or maxval
values to correct default value for given type.
Awk 3.1.x does not support multi-dimensional arrays, so fix up to make
sure that gen-tunables.awk works on it.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Avoid multi-dimensional arrays.
Add LD_HWCAP_MASK to tunables in preparation of it being removed from
rtld.c. This allows us to read LD_HWCAP_MASK much earlier so that it
can influence IFUNC resolution in aarch64.
This patch does not actually do anything other than read the
LD_HWCAP_MASK variable and add the tunables way to set the
LD_HWCAP_MASK, i.e. via the glibc.tune.hwcap_mask tunable. In a
follow-up patch, the _dl_hwcap_mask will be replaced with
glibc.tune.hwcap_mask to complete the transition.
* elf/dl-tunables.list: Add glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Include dl-procinfo.h.
* manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.
Enhance dl-tunables.list to allow specifying a default value for a
tunable that it would be initialized to.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Recognize 'default' keyword in
dl-tunables.list.
* README.tunables: Document it.
As of now we don't need tunables to be writable after they have been
set initially, so there is no point in having them writable. Put
tunable_list in .data.rel.ro so that it is set as read-only after
relocation. This also allows us to move some of the dl_* variables
that are tunables controlled into the tunables infrastructure instead
of having two copies.
In future if we ever need specific tunables to be writable at runtime,
we can split the tunable_list into two.
Regression tested on x86_64 to verify that tests continue to pass.
* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Add attribute_relro to
tunable_list.
Since commit 8b9e9c3c0b, security_level replaces
is_secure. There were some old files need to be updated.

* README.tunables: Updated descriptions.
* elf/dl-tunables.list: Fixed typo: SXID_NONE -> NONE.

Florian Weimer pointed out that we have three different kinds of
environment variables (and hence tunables):
1. Variables that are removed for setxid processes
2. Variables that are ignored in setxid processes but is passed on to
child processes
3. Variables that are passed on to child processes all the time
Tunables currently only does (2) and (3) when it should be doing (1)
for MALLOC_CHECK_. This patch enhances the is_secure flag in tunables
to an enum value that can specify which of the above three categories
the tunable (and its envvar alias) belongs to.
The default is for tunables to be in (1). Hence, all of the malloc
tunables barring MALLOC_CHECK_ are explicitly specified to belong to
category (2). There were discussions around abolishing category (2)
completely but we can do that as a separate exercise in 2.26.
Tested on x86_64 to verify that there are no regressions.

The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global
variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has
instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables.
Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables
configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a
framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are
read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc
behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the
compatibility interface.
