The GNU implementation of wcrtomb assumes that there are at least
MB_CUR_MAX bytes available in the destination buffer passed to wcrtomb
as the first argument. This is not compatible with the POSIX
definition, which only requires enough space for the input wide
character.
This does not break much in practice because when users supply buffers
smaller than MB_CUR_MAX (e.g. in ncurses), they compute and dynamically
allocate the buffer, which results in enough spare space (thanks to
usable_size in malloc and padding in alloca) that no actual buffer
overflow occurs. However when the code is built with _FORTIFY_SOURCE,
it runs into the hard check against MB_CUR_MAX in __wcrtomb_chk and
hence fails. It wasn't evident until now since dynamic allocations
would result in wcrtomb not being fortified but since _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3,
that limitation is gone, resulting in such code failing.
To fix this problem, introduce an internal buffer that is MB_LEN_MAX
long and use that to perform the conversion and then copy the resultant
bytes into the destination buffer. Also move the fortification check
into the main implementation, which checks the result after conversion
and aborts if the resultant byte count is greater than the destination
buffer size.
One complication is that applications that assume the MB_CUR_MAX
limitation to be gone may not be able to run safely on older glibcs if
they use static destination buffers smaller than MB_CUR_MAX; dynamic
allocations will always have enough spare space that no actual overruns
will occur. One alternative to fixing this is to bump symbol version to
prevent them from running on older glibcs but that seems too strict a
constraint. Instead, since these users will only have made this
decision on reading the manual, I have put a note in the manual warning
them about the pitfalls of having static buffers smaller than
MB_CUR_MAX and running them on older glibc.
Benchmarking:
The wcrtomb microbenchmark shows significant increases in maximum
execution time for all locales, ranging from 10x for ar_SA.UTF-8 to
1.5x-2x for nearly everything else. The mean execution time however saw
practically no impact, with some results even being quicker, indicating
that cache locality has a much bigger role in the overhead.
Given that the additional copy uses a temporary buffer inside wcrtomb,
it's likely that a hot path will end up putting that buffer (which is
responsible for the additional overhead) in a similar place on stack,
giving the necessary cache locality to negate the overhead. However in
situations where wcrtomb ends up getting called at wildly different
spots on the call stack (or is on different call stacks, e.g. with
threads or different execution contexts) and is still a hotspot, the
performance lag will be visible.

If `__glibc_objsize (__o) == (size_t) -1` (i.e. `__o` is unknown size), fortify
checks should pass, and `__whatever_alias` should be called.
Previously, `__glibc_objsize (__o) == (size_t) -1` was explicitly checked, but
on commit a643f60c53, this was moved into `__glibc_safe_or_unknown_len`.
A comment says the -1 case should work as: "The -1 check is redundant because
since it implies that __glibc_safe_len_cond is true.". But this fails when:
* `__s > 1`
* `__osz == -1` (i.e. unknown size at compile time)
* `__l` is big enough
* `__l * __s <= __osz` can be folded to a constant
(I only found this to be true for `mbsrtowcs` and other functions in wchar2.h)
In this case `__l * __s <= __osz` is false, and `__whatever_chk_warn` will be
called by `__glibc_fortify` or `__glibc_fortify_n` and crash the program.
This commit adds the explicit `__osz == -1` check again.
moc crashes on startup due to this, see: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74041
Minimal test case (test.c):
#include <wchar.h>
int main (void)
{
const char *hw = "HelloWorld";
mbsrtowcs (NULL, &hw, (size_t)-1, NULL);
return 0;
}
Build with:
gcc -O2 -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 test.c -o test && ./test

Some functions (e.g. stpcpy, pread64, etc.) had moved to POSIX in the
main headers as they got incorporated into the standard, but their
fortified variants remained under __USE_GNU. As a result, these
functions did not get fortified when _GNU_SOURCE was not defined.
Add test wrappers that check all functions tested in tst-chk0 at all
levels with _GNU_SOURCE undefined and then use the failures to (1)
exclude checks for _GNU_SOURCE functions in these tests and (2) Fix
feature macro guards in the fortified function headers so that they're
the same as the ones in the main headers.
This fixes BZ #28746.

Rename debug/tst-chk1.c to debug/tst-fortify.c and add make hackery to
autogenerate tests with different macros enabled to build and run the
same test with different configurations as well as different
fortification levels.
The change also ends up expanding the -lfs tests to include
_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3.
