Different than others 64-bit time_t syscalls, the SysIPC interface
does not provide a new set of syscall for y2038 safeness. Instead it
uses unused fields in semid_ds structure to return the high bits for
the timestamps.
To provide a y2038 safe interface a new symbol __semctl64 is added
and __semctl is change to call it instead (it adds some extra buffer
copying for the 32 bit time_t implementation).
Two new structures are added:
1. kernel_semid64_ds: used internally only on 32-bit architectures
to issue the syscall. A handful of architectures (hppa, i386,
mips, powerpc32, sparc32) require specific implementations due
their kernel ABI.
2. semid_ds64: this is only for __TIMESIZE != 64 to use along with
the 64-bit semctl. It is different than the kernel struct because
the exported 64-bit time_t might require different alignment
depending on the architecture ABI.
So the resulting implementation does:
1. For 64-bit architectures it assumes semid_ds already contains
64-bit time_t fields and will result in just the __semctl symbol
using the __semctl64 code. The semid_ds argument is passed as-is
to the syscall.
2. For 32-bit architectures with default 64-bit time_t (newer ABIs
such riscv32 or arc), it will also result in only one exported
symbol but with the required high/low handling.
It might be possible to optimize it further to avoid the
kernel_semid64_ds to semun transformation if the exported ABI
for the architectures matches the expected kernel ABI, but the
implementation is already complex enough and don't think this
should be a hotspot in any case.
3. Finally for 32-bit architecture with both 32-bit and 64-bit time_t
support we follow the already set way to provide one symbol with
64-bit time_t support and implement the 32-bit time_t support
using the 64-bit one.
The default 32-bit symbol will allocate and copy the semid_ds
over multiple buffers, but this should be deprecated in favor
of the __semctl64 anyway.
Checked on i686-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu. I also did some sniff
tests on powerpc, powerpc64, mips, mips64, armhf, sparcv9, and

On some targets static TLS surplus area can be used opportunistically
for dynamically loaded modules such that the TLS access then becomes
faster (TLSDESC and powerpc TLS optimization). However we don't want
all surplus TLS to be used for this optimization because dynamically
loaded modules with initial-exec model TLS can only use surplus TLS.
The new contract for surplus static TLS use is:
- libc.so can have up to 192 bytes of IE TLS,
- other system libraries together can have up to 144 bytes of IE TLS.
- Some "optional" static TLS is available for opportunistic use.
The optional TLS is now tunable: rtld.optional_static_tls, so users
can directly affect the allocated static TLS size. (Note that module
unloading with dlclose does not reclaim static TLS. After the optional
TLS runs out, TLS access is no longer optimized to use static TLS.)
The default setting of rtld.optional_static_tls is 512 so the surplus
TLS is 3*192 + 4*144 + 512 = 1664 by default, the same as before.
Fixes BZ #25051.

The new static TLS surplus size computation is
surplus_tls = 192 * (nns-1) + 144 * nns + 512
where nns is controlled via the rtld.nns tunable. This commit
accounts audit modules too so nns = rtld.nns + audit modules.
rtld.nns should only include the namespaces required by the
application, namespaces for audit modules are accounted on top
of that so audit modules don't use up the static TLS that is
reserved for the application. This allows loading many audit
modules without tuning rtld.nns or using up static TLS, and it
fixes
FAIL: elf/tst-auditmany
Note that DL_NNS is currently a hard upper limit for nns, and
if rtld.nns + audit modules go over the limit that's a fatal
error. By default rtld.nns is 4 which allows 12 audit modules.
Counting the audit modules is based on existing audit string
parsing code, we cannot use GLRO(dl_naudit) before the modules
are actually loaded.
TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS is 1664 bytes currently which is not enough to
support DL_NNS (== 16) number of dynamic link namespaces, if we
assume 192 bytes of TLS are reserved for libc use and 144 bytes
are reserved for other system libraries that use IE TLS.
A new tunable is introduced to control the number of supported
namespaces and to adjust the surplus static TLS size as follows:
surplus_tls = 192 * (rtld.nns-1) + 144 * rtld.nns + 512
The default is rtld.nns == 4 and then the surplus TLS size is the
same as before, so the behaviour is unchanged by default. If an
application creates more namespaces than the rtld.nns setting
allows, then it is not guaranteed to work, but the limit is not
checked. So existing usage will continue to work, but in the
future if an application creates more than 4 dynamic link
namespaces then the tunable will need to be set.
In this patch DL_NNS is a fixed value and provides a maximum to
the rtld.nns setting.
Static linking used fixed 2048 bytes surplus TLS, this is changed
so the same contract is used as for dynamic linking. With static
linking DL_NNS == 1 so rtld.nns tunable is forced to 1, so by
default the surplus TLS is reduced to 144 + 512 = 656 bytes. This
change is not expected to cause problems.

When glibc is built with branch protection (i.e. with a gcc configured
with --enable-standard-branch-protection), all glibc binaries should
be BTI compatible and marked as such.
It is easy to link BTI incompatible objects by accident and this is
silent currently which is usually not the expectation, so this is
changed into a link error. (There is no linker flag for failing on
BTI incompatible inputs so all warnings are turned into fatal errors
outside the test system when building glibc with branch protection.)
Unfortunately, outlined atomic functions are not BTI compatible in
libgcc (PR libgcc/96001), so to build glibc with current gcc use
'CC=gcc -mno-outline-atomics', this should be fixed in libgcc soon
and then glibc can be built and tested without such workarounds.

Binaries can opt-in to using BTI via an ELF object file marking.
The dynamic linker has to then mprotect the executable segments
with PROT_BTI. In case of static linked executables or in case
of the dynamic linker itself, PROT_BTI protection is done by the
operating system.
On AArch64 glibc uses PT_GNU_PROPERTY instead of PT_NOTE to check
the properties of a binary because PT_NOTE can be unreliable with
old linkers (old linkers just append the notes of input objects
together and add them to the output without checking them for
consistency which means multiple incompatible GNU property notes
can be present in PT_NOTE).
BTI property is handled in the loader even if glibc is not built
with BTI support, so in theory user code can be BTI protected
independently of glibc. In practice though user binaries are not
marked with the BTI property if glibc has no support because the
static linked libc objects (crt files, libc_nonshared.a) are
unmarked.

setcontext returns to the specified context via an indirect jump,
so there should be a BTI j.
In case of getcontext (and all other returns_twice functions) the
compiler adds BTI j at the call site, but swapcontext is a normal
c call that is currently not handled specially by the compiler.
So we change swapcontext such that the saved context returns to a
local address that has BTI j and then swapcontext returns to the
caller via a normal RET. For this we save the original return
address in the slot for x1 of the context because x1 need not be
preserved by swapcontext but it is restored when the context saved
by swapcontext is resumed.
The alternative fix (which is done on x86) would make swapcontext
special in the compiler so BTI j is emitted at call sites, on
x86 there is an indirect_return attribute for this, on AArch64
we would have to use returns_twice. It was decided against because
such fix may need user code updates: the attribute has to be added
when swapcontext is called via a function pointer and it breaks
always_inline functions with swapcontext.

To enable building glibc with branch protection, assembly code
needs BTI landing pads and ELF object file markings in the form
of a GNU property note.
The landing pads are unconditionally added to all functions that
may be indirectly called. When the code segment is not mapped
with PROT_BTI these instructions are nops. They are kept in the
code when BTI is not supported so that the layout of performance
critical code is unchanged across configurations.
The GNU property notes are only added when there is support for
BTI in the toolchain, because old binutils does not handle the
notes right. (Does not know how to merge them nor to put them in
PT_GNU_PROPERTY segment instead of PT_NOTE, and some versions
of binutils emit warnings about the unknown GNU property. In
such cases the produced libc binaries would not have valid
ELF marking so BTI would not be enabled.)
Note: functions using ENTRY or ENTRY_ALIGN now start with an
additional BTI c, so alignment of the following code changes,
but ENTRY_ALIGN_AND_PAD was fixed so there is no change to the
existing code layout. Some string functions may need to be
tuned for optimal performance after this commit.

The vfprintf implementation (used for all printf-family functions)
contains complicated logic to allocate internal buffers of a size
depending on the width and precision used for a format, using either
malloc or alloca depending on that size, and with consequent checks
for size overflow and allocation failure.
As noted in bug 26211, the version of that logic used when '$' plus
argument number formats are in use is missing the overflow checks,
which can result in segfaults (quite possibly exploitable, I didn't
try to work that out) when the width or precision is in the range
0x7fffffe0 through 0x7fffffff (maybe smaller values as well in the
wprintf case on 32-bit systems, when the multiplication by sizeof
(CHAR_T) can overflow).
All that complicated logic in fact appears to be useless. As far as I
can tell, there has been no need (outside the floating-point printf
code, which does its own allocations) for allocations depending on
width or precision since commit
3e95f6602b ("Remove limitation on size
of precision for integers", Sun Sep 12 21:23:32 1999 +0000). Thus,
this patch removes that logic completely, thereby fixing both problems
with excessive allocations for large width and precision for
non-floating-point formats, and the problem with missing overflow
checks with such allocations. Note that this does have the
consequence that width and precision up to INT_MAX are now allowed
where previously INT_MAX / sizeof (CHAR_T) - EXTSIZ or more would have
been rejected, so could potentially expose any other overflows where
the value would previously have been rejected by those removed checks.
I believe this completely fixes bugs 14231 and 26211.
Excessive allocations are still possible in the floating-point case
(bug 21127), as are other integer or buffer overflows (see bug 26201).
This does not address the cases where a precision larger than INT_MAX
(embedded in the format string) would be meaningful without printf's
return value overflowing (when it's used with a string format, or %g
without the '#' flag, so the actual output will be much smaller), as
mentioned in bug 17829 comment 8; using size_t internally for
precision to handle that case would be complicated by struct
printf_info being a public ABI. Nor does it address the matter of an
INT_MIN width being negated (bug 17829 comment 7; the same logic
appears a second time in the file as well, in the form of multiplying
by -1). There may be other sources of memory allocations with malloc
in printf functions as well (bug 24988, bug 16060). From inspection,
I think there are also integer overflows in two copies of "if ((width
-= len) < 0)" logic (where width is int, len is size_t and a very long
string could result in spurious padding being output on a 32-bit
system before printf overflows the count of output characters).
Tested for x86-64 and x86.
The auditing interface identifies namespaces by their first loaded
