This is a workaround (hack) for a gcc optimization issue (PR 99551).
Without this the generated code may evaluate the expression in the

The previous patch ensured that all chunk to mem computations use

cases where the tag of mem is relevant chunk2mem_tag can be used.

The difference between chunk2mem and chunk2rawmem is that the latter
does not get the memory tag for the returned pointer. It turns out
chunk2rawmem almost always works:
The input of chunk2mem is a chunk pointer that is untagged so it can
access the chunk header. All memory that is not user allocated heap
memory is untagged, which in the current implementation means that it
has the 0 tag, but this patch does not rely on the tag value. The
patch relies on that chunk operations are either done on untagged
chunks or without doing memory access to the user owned part.
Internal interface contracts:
sysmalloc: Returns untagged memory.
_int_malloc: Returns untagged memory.
_int_free: Takes untagged memory.
_int_memalign: Returns untagged memory.
_int_realloc: Takes and returns tagged memory.
So only _int_realloc and functions outside this list need care.
Alignment checks do not need the right tag and tcache works with
untagged memory.
tag_at was kept in realloc after an mremap, which is not strictly
necessary, since the pointer is only used to retag the memory, but this
way the tag is guaranteed to be different from the old tag.

This is a pure refactoring change that does not affect behaviour.
The CHUNK_AVAILABLE_SIZE name was unclear, the memsize name tries to
follow the existing convention of mem denoting the allocation that is
handed out to the user, while chunk is its internally used container.
The user owned memory for a given chunk starts at chunk2mem(p) and
the size is memsize(p). It is not valid to use on dumped heap chunks.
Moved the definition next to other chunk and mem related macros.

Use the runtime check where possible: it should not cause slow down in

The branches may be better optimized since mtag_enabled is widely used.
Granule size larger than a chunk header is not supported since then we

When glibc is built with memory tagging support (USE_MTAG) but it is not

A flag check can be faster than function pointers because of how

Memory tagging wrapper functions are moved to malloc.c from arena.c and
the logic now checks mmap_enabled. The definition of tag_new_usable is
moved after chunk related definitions.
This refactoring also allows using mtag_enabled checks instead of

This essentially folds compat_symbol_unique functionality into
compat_symbol.
This change eliminates the need for intermediate aliases for defining
multiple symbol versions, for both compat_symbol and versioned_symbol.
Some binutils versions do not suport multiple versions per symbol on
some targets, so aliases are automatically introduced, similar to what
compat_symbol_unique did. To reduce symbol table sizes, a configure
check is added to avoid these aliases if they are not needed.
The new mechanism works with data symbols as well as function symbols,
due to the way an assembler-level redirect is used. It is not
compatible with weak symbols for old binutils versions, which is why
the definition of __malloc_initialize_hook had to be changed. This
is not a loss of functionality because weak symbols do not matter
to dynamic linking.
The placeholder symbol needs repeating in nptl/libpthread-compat.c
now that compat_symbol is used, but that seems more obvious than
introducing yet another macro.
A subtle difference was that compat_symbol_unique made the symbol
global automatically. compat_symbol does not do this, so static

Removed unneeded '\' chars from end of lines and fixed some
indentation issues that were introduced in the original
Safe-Linking patch.
Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
Safe-Linking is a security mechanism that protects single-linked
lists (such as the fastbin and tcache) from being tampered by attackers.
The mechanism makes use of randomness from ASLR (mmap_base), and when
combined with chunk alignment integrity checks, it protects the "next"
pointers from being hijacked by an attacker.
While Safe-Unlinking protects double-linked lists (such as the small
bins), there wasn't any similar protection for attacks against
single-linked lists. This solution protects against 3 common attacks:
* Partial pointer override: modifies the lower bytes (Little Endian)
* Full pointer override: hijacks the pointer to an attacker's location
* Unaligned chunks: pointing the list to an unaligned address
The design assumes an attacker doesn't know where the heap is located,
and uses the ASLR randomness to "sign" the single-linked pointers. We
mark the pointer as P and the location in which it is stored as L, and
the calculation will be:
* PROTECT(P) := (L >> PAGE_SHIFT) XOR (P)
* *L = PROTECT(P)
This way, the random bits from the address L (which start at the bit
in the PAGE_SHIFT position), will be merged with LSB of the stored
protected pointer. This protection layer prevents an attacker from
modifying the pointer into a controlled value.
An additional check that the chunks are MALLOC_ALIGNed adds an
important layer:
* Attackers can't point to illegal (unaligned) memory addresses
* Attackers must guess correctly the alignment bits
On standard 32 bit Linux machines, an attack will directly fail 7
out of 8 times, and on 64 bit machines it will fail 15 out of 16
times.
This proposed patch was benchmarked and it's effect on the overall
performance of the heap was negligible and couldn't be distinguished
from the default variance between tests on the vanilla version. A
similar protection was added to Chromium's version of TCMalloc
in 2012, and according to their documentation it had an overhead of
less than 2%.

As discussed previously on libc-alpha [1], this patch follows up the idea
and add both the __attribute_alloc_size__ on malloc functions (malloc,
calloc, realloc, reallocarray, valloc, pvalloc, and memalign) and limit
maximum requested allocation size to up PTRDIFF_MAX (taking into
consideration internal padding and alignment).
This aligns glibc with gcc expected size defined by default warning
-Walloc-size-larger-than value which warns for allocation larger than
PTRDIFF_MAX. It also aligns with gcc expectation regarding libc and
expected size, such as described in PR#67999 [2] and previously discussed
ISO C11 issues [3] on libc-alpha.
From the RFC thread [4] and previous discussion, it seems that consensus
is only to limit such requested size for malloc functions, not the system
allocation one (mmap, sbrk, etc.).
The implementation changes checked_request2size to check for both overflow
and maximum object size up to PTRDIFF_MAX. No additional checks are done
on sysmalloc, so it can still issue mmap with values larger than
PTRDIFF_T depending on the requested size.
The __attribute_alloc_size__ is for functions that return a pointer only,
which means it cannot be applied to posix_memalign (see remarks in GCC
PR#87683 [5]). The runtimes checks to limit maximum requested allocation
size does applies to posix_memalign.

This patch fixes various such cases for inline, ensuring it comes at

"static __always_inline <type>". Other cases of the warning may be

rewritten to be static by an including file, "#define funcname static
wrapped_funcname" or similar), but it seems worth fixing these cases

This commit removes the custom memcpy implementation from _int_realloc

You are right, I don't think it makes a difference in these checks. So
the size local can be reused for the checks against victim. For next,
leaving it as such avoids the masking operation.

We could also do a chunk boundary check similar to what I proposed in
the thread for the first patch in the series to be even more strict.
I'll gladly try to implement either but believe that refining these
checks would bring less benefits than in the case of the top chunk.
Intra-arena or intra-heap overlaps would still be doable here with
unsorted chunks and I don't see any way to counter that besides more
generic measures like randomizing allocations and your metadata
encoding patches.
I've attached a revised version with the above comments incorporated
but without the refined checks.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] malloc: Additional checks for unsorted bin integrity
I.
Ensure the following properties of chunks encountered during binning:
- victim chunk has reasonable size
- next chunk has reasonable size
- next->prev_size == victim->size
- valid double linked list
- PREV_INUSE of next chunk is unset
* malloc/malloc.c (_int_malloc): Additional binning code checks.
The House of Force is a well-known technique to exploit heap
overflow. In essence, this exploit takes three steps:
1. Overwrite the size of top chunk with very large value (e.g. -1).
2. Request x bytes from top chunk. As the size of top chunk
is corrupted, x can be arbitrarily large and top chunk will
still be offset by x.
3. The next allocation from top chunk will thus be controllable.
If we verify the size of top chunk at step 2, we can stop such attack.
This patch mechanically removes all remaining uses, and the
definitions, of the following libio name aliases:
name replaced with
---- -------------
_IO_FILE FILE
_IO_fpos_t __fpos_t
_IO_fpos64_t __fpos64_t
_IO_size_t size_t
_IO_ssize_t ssize_t or __ssize_t
_IO_off_t off_t
_IO_off64_t off64_t
_IO_pid_t pid_t
_IO_uid_t uid_t
_IO_wint_t wint_t
_IO_va_list va_list or __gnuc_va_list
_IO_BUFSIZ BUFSIZ
_IO_cookie_io_functions_t cookie_io_functions_t
__io_read_fn cookie_read_function_t
__io_write_fn cookie_write_function_t
__io_seek_fn cookie_seek_function_t
__io_close_fn cookie_close_function_t
I used __fpos_t and __fpos64_t instead of fpos_t and fpos64_t because
the definitions of fpos_t and fpos64_t depend on the largefile mode.
I used __ssize_t and __gnuc_va_list in a handful of headers where
namespace cleanliness might be relevant even though they're
internal-use-only. In all other cases, I used the public-namespace
name.
There are a tiny handful of places where I left a use of 'struct _IO_FILE'
alone, because it was being used together with 'struct _IO_FILE_plus'
or 'struct _IO_FILE_complete' in the same arithmetic expression.
Because this patch was almost entirely done with search and replace, I
may have introduced indentation botches. I did proofread the diff,
but I may have missed something.

malloc_stats means to disable cancellation for writes to stderr while
it runs, but it restores stderr->_flags2 with |= instead of =, so what
it actually does is disable cancellation on stderr permanently.
[BZ #22830]
* malloc/malloc.c (__malloc_stats): Restore stderr->_flags2
correctly.
* malloc/tst-malloc-stats-cancellation.c: New test case.
* malloc/Makefile: Add new test case.
This avoids assert definition conflicts if some of the headers used by
malloc.c happens to include assert.h. Malloc still needs a malloc-avoiding
implementation, which we get by redirecting __assert_fail to malloc's
__malloc_assert.
* malloc/malloc.c: Include <assert.h>.
(assert): Do not define.
[!defined NDEBUG] (__assert_fail): Define to __malloc_assert.
When posix_memalign is called with an alignment less than MALLOC_ALIGNMENT
and a requested size close to SIZE_MAX, it falls back to malloc code
(because the alignment of a block returned by malloc is sufficient to
satisfy the call). In this case, an integer overflow in _int_malloc leads
to posix_memalign incorrectly returning successfully.
Upon fixing this and writing a somewhat thorough regression test, it was
discovered that when posix_memalign is called with an alignment larger than
MALLOC_ALIGNMENT (so it uses _int_memalign instead) and a requested size
close to SIZE_MAX, a different integer overflow in _int_memalign leads to
posix_memalign incorrectly returning successfully.
Both integer overflows affect other memory allocation functions that use
_int_malloc (one affected malloc in x86) or _int_memalign as well.
This commit fixes both integer overflows. In addition to this, it adds a
regression test to guard against false successful allocations by the
following memory allocation functions when called with too-large allocation
sizes and, where relevant, various valid alignments:
malloc, realloc, calloc, reallocarray, memalign, posix_memalign,
aligned_alloc, valloc, and pvalloc.
When the per-thread cache is enabled, __libc_malloc uses request2size (which
does not perform an overflow check) to calculate the chunk size from the
requested allocation size. This leads to an integer overflow causing malloc
to incorrectly return the last successfully allocated block when called with
a very large size argument (close to SIZE_MAX).
This commit uses checked_request2size instead, removing the overflow.
It does not make sense to register separate cleanup functions for arena
and tcache since they're always going to be called together. Call the
tcache cleanup function from within arena_thread_freeres since it at
least makes the order of those cleanups clear in the code.

This commit adds a "subheaps" field to the malloc_info output that
shows the number of heaps that were allocated to extend a non-main
arena.

This patch adds a single-threaded fast path to malloc, realloc,
calloc and memalloc. When we're single-threaded, we can bypass
arena_get (which always locks the arena it returns) and just use
the main arena. Also avoid retrying a different arena since
there is just the main arena.
* malloc/malloc.c (__libc_malloc): Add SINGLE_THREAD_P path.
(__libc_realloc): Likewise.
(_mid_memalign): Likewise.
(__libc_calloc): Likewise.
This patch adds single-threaded fast paths to _int_free.
Bypass the explicit locking for larger allocations.
* malloc/malloc.c (_int_free): Add SINGLE_THREAD_P fast paths.
This patch fixes a deadlock in the fastbin consistency check.
If we fail the fast check due to concurrent modifications to
the next chunk or system_mem, we should not lock if we already
have the arena lock. Simplify the check to make it obviously
correct.
* malloc/malloc.c (_int_free): Fix deadlock bug in consistency check.
The current malloc initialization is quite convoluted. Instead of
sometimes calling malloc_consolidate from ptmalloc_init, call
malloc_init_state early so that the main_arena is always initialized.
The special initialization can now be removed from malloc_consolidate.
This also fixes BZ #22159.
Check all calls to malloc_consolidate and remove calls that are
redundant initialization after ptmalloc_init, like in int_mallinfo
and __libc_mallopt (but keep the latter as consolidation is required for
set_max_fast). Update comments to improve clarity.
Remove impossible initialization check from _int_malloc, fix assert
in do_check_malloc_state to ensure arena->top != 0. Fix the obvious bugs
in do_check_free_chunk and do_check_remalloced_chunk to enable single
threaded malloc debugging (do_check_malloc_state is not thread safe!).
[BZ #22159]
* malloc/arena.c (ptmalloc_init): Call malloc_init_state.
* malloc/malloc.c (do_check_free_chunk): Fix build bug.
(do_check_remalloced_chunk): Fix build bug.
(do_check_malloc_state): Add assert that checks arena->top.
(malloc_consolidate): Remove initialization.
(int_mallinfo): Remove call to malloc_consolidate.
(__libc_mallopt): Clarify why malloc_consolidate is needed.
Currently free typically uses 2 atomic operations per call. The have_fastchunks
flag indicates whether there are recently freed blocks in the fastbins. This
is purely an optimization to avoid calling malloc_consolidate too often and
avoiding the overhead of walking all fast bins even if all are empty during a
sequence of allocations. However using catomic_or to update the flag is
completely unnecessary since it can be changed into a simple boolean and
accessed using relaxed atomics. There is no change in multi-threaded behaviour
given the flag is already approximate (it may be set when there are no blocks in
any fast bins, or it may be clear when there are free blocks that could be
consolidated).
Performance of malloc/free improves by 27% on a simple benchmark on AArch64
(both single and multithreaded). The number of load/store exclusive instructions
is reduced by 33%. Bench-malloc-thread speeds up by ~3% in all cases.

The functions tcache_get and tcache_put show up in profiles as they
are a critical part of the tcache code. Inline them to give tcache
a 16% performance gain. Since this improves multi-threaded cases
as well, it helps offset any potential performance loss due to adding
single-threaded fast paths.
* malloc/malloc.c (tcache_put): Inline.
(tcache_get): Inline.
The malloc tcache added in 2.26 will leak all of the elements remaining
in the cache and the cache structure itself when a thread exits. The
defect is that we do not set tcache_shutting_down early enough, and the
thread simply recreates the tcache and places the elements back onto a
new tcache which is subsequently lost as the thread exits (unfreed
memory). The fix is relatively simple, move the setting of
tcache_shutting_down earlier in tcache_thread_freeres. We add a test
case which uses mallinfo and some heuristics to look for unaccounted for
memory usage between the start and end of a thread start/join loop. It
is very reliable at detecting that there is a leak given the number of
iterations. Without the fix the test will consume 122MiB of leaked
memory.
Clean up calls to malloc_printerr and trim its argument list.
This also removes a few bits of work done before calling
malloc_printerr (such as unlocking operations).
The tunable/environment variable still enables the lightweight
additional malloc checking, but mallopt (M_CHECK_ACTION)
no longer has any effect.
__stack_chk_fail is called on corrupted stack. Stack backtrace is very
unreliable against corrupted stack. __libc_message is changed to accept
enum __libc_message_action and call BEFORE_ABORT only if action includes
do_backtrace. __fortify_fail_abort is added to avoid backtrace from
__stack_chk_fail.

MMap'd memory isn't shrunk without MREMAP, but IIRC this is intentional for
performance reasons. Regardless, this patch tweaks the existing comment to
be more accurate wrt the existing code.
[BZ #21411]
* malloc/malloc.c: Tweak realloc/MREMAP comment to be more accurate.
Fixes a typo introduced in commit
be7991c070. This caused
mallopt(M_ARENA_MAX) as well as the environment variable
MALLOC_ARENA_MAX to not work as intended because it set the
wrong internal parameter.
[BZ #21338]
* malloc/malloc.c: Call do_set_arena_max for M_ARENA_MAX
instead of incorrect do_set_arena_test
Additional check for chunk_size == next->prev->chunk_size in unlink()

* malloc/malloc.c (unlink): Add consistency check between size and
next->prev->size, to further harden against 1-byte overflows.
posix/wordexp-test.c used libc-internal.h for PTR_ALIGN_DOWN; similar
to what was done with libc-diag.h, I have split the definitions of
cast_to_integer, ALIGN_UP, ALIGN_DOWN, PTR_ALIGN_UP, and PTR_ALIGN_DOWN
to a new header, libc-pointer-arith.h.
It then occurred to me that the remaining declarations in libc-internal.h
are mostly to do with early initialization, and probably most of the
files including it, even in the core code, don't need it anymore. Indeed,
only 19 files actually need what remains of libc-internal.h. 23 others
need libc-diag.h instead, and 12 need libc-pointer-arith.h instead.
No file needs more than one of them, and 16 don't need any of them!
So, with this patch, libc-internal.h stops including libc-diag.h as
well as losing the pointer arithmetic macros, and all including files
are adjusted.
* include/libc-pointer-arith.h: New file. Define
cast_to_integer, ALIGN_UP, ALIGN_DOWN, PTR_ALIGN_UP, and
PTR_ALIGN_DOWN here.
