This patch fixes two problems with audit:
1. The DL_OFFSET_RV_VPCS offset was mixed up with DL_OFFSET_RG_VPCS,
resulting in x2 register value nulling in RG structure.
2. We need to preserve the x8 register before function call, but
don't have to save it's new value and restore it before return.
Anyway the final restore was using OFFSET_RV instead of OFFSET_RG value
which is wrong (althoug doesn't affect anything).

Rather than buffering 16 MiB of entropy in userspace (by way of
chacha20), simply call getrandom() every time.
This approach is doubtlessly slower, for now, but trying to prematurely
optimize arc4random appears to be leading toward all sorts of nasty
properties and gotchas. Instead, this patch takes a much more
conservative approach. The interface is added as a basic loop wrapper
around getrandom(), and then later, the kernel and libc together can
work together on optimizing that.
This prevents numerous issues in which userspace is unaware of when it
really must throw away its buffer, since we avoid buffering all
together. Future improvements may include userspace learning more from
the kernel about when to do that, which might make these sorts of
chacha20-based optimizations more possible. The current heuristic of 16
MiB is meaningless garbage that doesn't correspond to anything the
kernel might know about. So for now, let's just do something
conservative that we know is correct and won't lead to cryptographic
issues for users of this function.
This patch might be considered along the lines of, "optimization is the
root of all evil," in that the much more complex implementation it
replaces moves too fast without considering security implications,
whereas the incremental approach done here is a much safer way of going
about things. Once this lands, we can take our time in optimizing this
properly using new interplay between the kernel and userspace.
getrandom(0) is used, since that's the one that ensures the bytes
returned are cryptographically secure. But on systems without it, we
fallback to using /dev/urandom. This is unfortunate because it means
opening a file descriptor, but there's not much of a choice. Secondly,
as part of the fallback, in order to get more or less the same
properties of getrandom(0), we poll on /dev/random, and if the poll
succeeds at least once, then we assume the RNG is initialized. This is a
rough approximation, as the ancient "non-blocking pool" initialized
after the "blocking pool", not before, and it may not port back to all
ancient kernels, though it does to all kernels supported by glibc
(≥3.2), so generally it's the best approximation we can do.
The motivation for including arc4random, in the first place, is to have
source-level compatibility with existing code. That means this patch
doesn't attempt to litigate the interface itself. It does, however,
choose a conservative approach for implementing it.

This reverts commit 0910702c4d.
Say both a.so and b.so define protected data symbol `var` and the executable
copy relocates var. ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA has strange
semantics: a.so accesses the copy in the executable while b.so accesses its
own. This behavior requires that (a) the compiler emits GOT-generating
relocations (b) the linker produces GLOB_DAT instead of RELATIVE.
Without the ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA code, b.so's GLOB_DAT
will bind to the executable (normal behavior).
For aarch64 it makes sense to restore the original behavior and don't
pay the ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_EXTERN_PROTECTED_DATA cost. The behavior is very
unlikely used by anyone.
* Clang code generator treats STV_PROTECTED the same way as STV_HIDDEN:
no GOT-generating relocation in the first place.
* gold and lld reject copy relocation on a STV_PROTECTED symbol.
* Nowadays -fpie/-fpic modes are popular. GCC/Clang's codegen uses
GOT-generating relocation when accessing an default visibility
external symbol which avoids copy relocation.

The rtld audit support show two problems on aarch64:

location register, which might generate wrong result calls
depending of the function signature.
2. The NEON Q registers pushed onto the stack by _dl_runtime_resolve
were twice the size of D registers extracted from the stack frame by
_dl_runtime_profile.
While 2. might result in wrong information passed on the PLT tracing,
1. generates wrong runtime behaviour.

* Both La_aarch64_regs and La_aarch64_retval are expanded to include
both x8 and the full sized NEON V registers, as defined by the
ABI.
* dl_runtime_profile needed to extract registers saved by
_dl_runtime_resolve and put them into the new correctly sized
La_aarch64_regs structure.
* The LAV_CURRENT check is change to only accept new audit modules
to avoid the undefined behavior of not save/restore x8.
* Different than other architectures, audit modules older than
LAV_CURRENT are rejected (both La_aarch64_regs and La_aarch64_retval
changed their layout and there are no requirements to support multiple
audit interface with the inherent aarch64 issues).
* A new field is also reserved on both La_aarch64_regs and
La_aarch64_retval to support variant pcs symbols.
Similar to x86, a new La_aarch64_vector type to represent the NEON
register is added on the La_aarch64_regs (so each type can be accessed
directly).
Since LAV_CURRENT was already bumped to support bind-now, there is

TLS_INIT_TCB_ALIGN is not actually used. TLS_TCB_ALIGN was likely
introduced to support a configuration where the thread pointer
has not the same alignment as THREAD_SELF. Only ia64 seems to use
that, but for the stack/pointer guard, not for storing tcbhead_t.
Some ports use TLS_TCB_OFFSET and TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE to shift
the thread pointer, potentially landing in a different residue class
modulo the alignment, but the changes should not impact that.
In general, given that TLS variables have their own alignment
requirements, having different alignment for the (unshifted) thread
pointer and struct pthread would potentially result in dynamic
offsets, leading to more complexity.
hppa had different values before: __alignof__ (tcbhead_t), which
seems to be 4, and __alignof__ (struct pthread), which was 8
(old default) and is now 32. However, it defines THREAD_SELF as:
/* Return the thread descriptor for the current thread. */
# define THREAD_SELF \
({ struct pthread *__self; \
__self = __get_cr27(); \
__self - 1; \
})
So the thread pointer points after struct pthread (hence __self - 1),
and they have to have the same alignment on hppa as well.
Similarly, on ia64, the definitions were different. We have:
# define TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE \
(sizeof (struct pthread) \
+ (PTHREAD_STRUCT_END_PADDING < 2 * sizeof (uintptr_t) \
? ((2 * sizeof (uintptr_t) + __alignof__ (struct pthread) - 1) \
& ~(__alignof__ (struct pthread) - 1)) \
: 0))
# define THREAD_SELF \
((struct pthread *) ((char *) __thread_self - TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE))
And TLS_PRE_TCB_SIZE is a multiple of the struct pthread alignment
(confirmed by the new _Static_assert in sysdeps/ia64/libc-tls.c).
On m68k, we have a larger gap between tcbhead_t and struct pthread.
But as far as I can tell, the port is fine with that. The definition
of TCB_OFFSET is sufficient to handle the shifted TCB scenario.
This fixes commit 23c77f6018
("nptl: Increase default TCB alignment to 32").

This commit adds support for __memcmpeq() as a new ABI for all
targets. In this commit __memcmpeq() is implemented only as an alias
to the corresponding targets memcmp() implementation. __memcmpeq() is
added as a new symbol starting with GLIBC_2.35 and defined in string.h
with comments explaining its behavior. Basic tests that it is callable
and works where added in string/tester.c
As discussed in the proposal "Add new ABI '__memcmpeq()' to libc"
__memcmpeq() is essentially a reserved namespace for bcmp(). The means
is shares the same specifications as memcmp() except the return value
for non-equal byte sequences is any non-zero value. This is less
strict than memcmp()'s return value specification and can be better
optimized when a boolean return is all that is needed.
__memcmpeq() is meant to only be called by compilers if they can prove
that the return value of a memcmp() call is only used for its boolean
value.
All tests in string/tester.c passed. As well build succeeds on
x86_64-linux-gnu target.
The 4af6982e4c fix does not fully handle RTLD_BOOTSTRAP usage on
rtld.c due two issues:
1. RTLD_BOOTSTRAP is also used on dl-machine.h on various
architectures and it changes the semantics of various machine
relocation functions.
2. The elf_get_dynamic_info() change was done sideways, previously
to 490e6c62aa get-dynamic-info.h was included by the first
dynamic-link.h include *without* RTLD_BOOTSTRAP being defined.
It means that the code within elf_get_dynamic_info() that uses
RTLD_BOOTSTRAP is in fact unused.
To fix 1. this patch now includes dynamic-link.h only once with
RTLD_BOOTSTRAP defined. The ELF_DYNAMIC_RELOCATE call will now have
the relocation fnctions with the expected semantics for the loader.
And to fix 2. part of 4af6982e4c is reverted (the check argument
elf_get_dynamic_info() is not required) and the RTLD_BOOTSTRAP
pieces are removed.
To reorganize the includes the static TLS definition is moved to
its own header to avoid a circular dependency (it is defined on
dynamic-link.h and dl-machine.h requires it at same time other
dynamic-link.h definition requires dl-machine.h defitions).
Also ELF_MACHINE_NO_REL, ELF_MACHINE_NO_RELA, and ELF_MACHINE_PLT_REL

(arm, i386, and mips), so a generic one is used as default.

The malloc-check debugging feature is tightly integrated into glibc
malloc, so thanks to an idea from Florian Weimer, much of the malloc
implementation has been moved into libc_malloc_debug.so to support
malloc-check. Due to this, glibc malloc and malloc-check can no
longer work together; they use altogether different (but identical)
structures for heap management. This should not make a difference
though since the malloc check hook is not disabled anywhere.
malloc_set_state does, but it does so early enough that it shouldn't
cause any problems.
The malloc check tunable is now in the debug DSO and has no effect
when the DSO is not preloaded.

Add hp-timing.h using the cntvct_el0 counter. Return timing in nanoseconds
so it is fully compatible with generic hp-timing. Don't set HP_TIMING_INLINE
in the dynamic linker since it adds unnecessary overheads and some ancient
kernels may not handle emulating cntcvt correctly. Currently cntvct_el0 is
only used for timing in the benchtests.

Add inline assembler for the roundeven functions.
Passes GLIBC regression. Note GCC does not inline the builtin (PR100966),
so this cannot be used for now.
This patch optimizes the performance of memset for A64FX [1] which
implements ARMv8-A SVE and has L1 64KB cache per core and L2 8MB cache
per NUMA node.
The performance optimization makes use of Scalable Vector Register
with several techniques such as loop unrolling, memory access
alignment, cache zero fill and prefetch.
SVE assembler code for memset is implemented as Vector Length Agnostic
code so theoretically it can be run on any SOC which supports ARMv8-A
SVE standard.
We confirmed that all testcases have been passed by running 'make
check' and 'make xcheck' not only on A64FX but also on ThunderX2.
And also we confirmed that the SVE 512 bit vector register performance
is roughly 4 times better than Advanced SIMD 128 bit register and 8
times better than scalar 64 bit register by running 'make bench'.

For j0f/j1f/y0f/y1f, the largest error for all binary32
inputs is reduced to at most 9 ulps for all rounding modes.
The new code is enabled only when there is a cancellation at the very end of
the j0f/j1f/y0f/y1f computation, or for very large inputs, thus should not
give any visible slowdown on average. Two different algorithms are used:
* around the first 64 zeros of j0/j1/y0/y1, approximation polynomials of
degree 3 are used, computed using the Sollya tool (https://www.sollya.org/)
* for large inputs, an asymptotic formula from [1] is used

Inputs yielding the new largest errors are added to auto-libm-test-in,
and ulps are regenerated for various targets (thanks Adhemerval Zanella).

This is a target hook for memory tagging, the original was a naive

but with instructions that also zero the memory. This was not
benchmarked on real cpu, but expected to be faster than the naive
implementation.
This is a target hook for memory tagging, the original was a naive
implementation. The optimized version relies on "dc gva" to tag 64
bytes at a time for large allocations and optimizes small cases without
adding too many branches. This was not benchmarked on real cpu, but
expected to be faster than the naive implementation.
This is a common operation when heap tagging is enabled, so inline the
instruction instead of using an extern call.
The .inst directive is used instead of the name of the instruction (or
acle intrinsics) because malloc.c is not compiled for armv8.5-a+memtag
architecture, runtime cpu support detection is used.
Prototypes are removed from the comments as they were not always
correct.
The memset api is suboptimal and does not provide much benefit. Memory
tagging only needs a zeroing memset (and only for memory that's sized
and aligned to multiples of the tag granule), so change the internal
api and the target hooks accordingly. This is to simplify the
implementation of the target hook.

It turns out the startup code in csu/elf-init.c has a perfect pair of
ROP gadgets (see Marco-Gisbert and Ripoll-Ripoll, "return-to-csu: A
New Method to Bypass 64-bit Linux ASLR"). These functions are not
needed in dynamically-linked binaries because DT_INIT/DT_INIT_ARRAY
are already processed by the dynamic linker. However, the dynamic
linker skipped the main program for some reason. For maximum
backwards compatibility, this is not changed, and instead, the main
map is consulted from __libc_start_main if the init function argument
is a NULL pointer.
For statically linked binaries, the old approach based on linker
symbols is still used because there is nothing else available.
A new symbol version __libc_start_main@@GLIBC_2.34 is introduced because
new binaries running on an old libc would not run their ELF
constructors, leading to difficult-to-debug issues.
Some IFUNC variants are not compatible with BTI and MTE so don't
set them as usable for testing and benchmarking on a BTI or MTE
enabled system.
As far as IFUNC selectors are concerned a system is BTI enabled if
the cpu supports it and glibc was built with BTI branch protection.
Most IFUNC variants are BTI compatible, but thunderx2 memcpy and
memmove use a jump table with indirect jump, without a BTI j.
Fixes bug 26818.
The hwcap value is now in linux 5.10 and in glibc bits/hwcap.h, so use
that definition.
Move the definition to init-arch.h so all ifunc selectors can use it
and expose an "mte" shorthand for mte enabled runtime.
For now we allow user code to enable tag checks and use PROT_MTE
mappings without libc involvment, this is not guaranteed ABI, but
can be useful for testing and debugging with MTE.

DELOUSE was added to asm code to make them compatible with non-LP64
ABIs, but it is an unfortunate name and the code was not compatible
with ABIs where pointer and size_t are different. Glibc currently
only supports the LP64 ABI so these macros are not really needed or
tested, but for now the name is changed to be more meaningful instead
of removing them completely.
Some DELOUSE macros were dropped: clone, strlen and strnlen used it
unnecessarily.
The out of tree ILP32 patches are currently not maintained and will
likely need a rework to rebase them on top of the time64 changes.
This symbol is not in the implementation reserved namespace for static
linking and it was never used: it seems it was mistakenly added in the
orignal strlen_asimd commit 436e4d5b96
