__libc_argv[0] points to address on stack and __libc_secure_getenv
accesses environment variables which are on stack. We should avoid
accessing stack when stack is corrupted.
This patch also renames function argument in __fortify_fail_abort
from do_backtrace to need_backtrace to avoid confusion with do_backtrace
from enum __libc_message_action.
[BZ #21752]
* debug/fortify_fail.c (__fortify_fail_abort): Don't pass down
__libc_argv[0] if we aren't doing backtrace. Rename do_backtrace
to need_backtrace.
* sysdeps/posix/libc_fatal.c (__libc_message): Don't call
__libc_secure_getenv if we aren't doing backtrace.
__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.

struct resolv_context objects provide a temporary resolver context
which does not change during a name lookup operation. Only when the
outmost context is created, the stub resolver configuration is
verified to be current (at present, only against previous res_init
calls). Subsequent attempts to obtain the context will reuse the
result of the initial verification operation.
struct resolv_context can also be extended in the future to store
data which needs to be deallocated during thread cancellation.
This patch improves the default posix implementation of posix_spawn{p}
and align with Linux one. The main idea is to fix some issues already
fixed in Linux code, and deprecated vfork internal usage (source of
various bug reports). In a short:
- It moves POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK usage and sets it a no-op. Since
the process that actually spawn the new process do not share
memory with parent (with vfork), it fixes BZ#14750 for this
implementation.
- It uses a pipe to correctly obtain the return upon failure
of execution (BZ#18433).
- It correctly enable/disable asynchronous cancellation (checked
on ptl/tst-exec5.c).
- It correctly disable/enable signal handling.
Using this version instead of Linux shows only one regression,
posix/tst-spawn3, because of pipe2 usage which increase total
number of file descriptor.
* sysdeps/posix/spawni.c (__spawni_child): New function.
(__spawni): Rename to __spawnix.
Many callers of __res_maybe_init also call _res_hconf_init.
Additional calls to the latter do not hurt because the function
does its work only once. (/etc/hosts.conf is not reloaded or
even checked for changes.) This means that we can simplify the
code by calling _res_hconf_init directly from __res_vinit.
A further simplification could eliminate the canon variable in
gaih_inet and replace it with canonbuf. However, canonbuf is
used as a flag in the nscd code, which makes this somewhat
non-straightforward.
This patch adds support of preadv2 and pwritev2 which are similar to
preadv/pwritev but with an extra flag argument. As for preadv/pwritev
both interfaces are added a non-standard GNU API.
For default 'posix' implementation trying to emulate the Linux supported
flags is troublesome:
* We can not temporary change the file state of the O_DSYNC and O_SYNC
flags to emulate RWF_{D}SYNC (attempts to change the state of using
fcntl are silently ignored).
* IOCB_HIPRI requires the file opened in O_DIRECT and uses an internal
semantic not provided by any other flag (O_NONBLOCK for instance).
So default sysdeps/posix implementations fails with EOPNOTSUPP for any non
supported flag (which are none currently) calls generic preadv/pwritev.
Basically this implementation supports only preadv2 called as preadv (with
flags sets to 0).
The Linux one uses the preadv2/pwritev2 syscall if defined, otherwise it
call preadv/writev. Instead of using the previous __ASSUME_* to
unconditionally issue the syscall (and avoid building the fallback routine),
it call pread/write if the preadv2/pwritev2 syscalls fails. The idea
is just avoid adding another __ASSUME_* and checking each architecture
on every kernel bump and simplify code conditionals.

The types affected are __sig_atomic_t, sig_atomic_t, __sigset_t,
sigset_t, sigval_t, sigevent_t, and siginfo_t. __sig_atomic_t is a
scalar, so it's now directly available from bits/types.h. The others
get bits/types/ headers.
Side effects include: There have been small changes to which
non-signal headers expose which subset of the signal-related types.
A couple of architectures' nested siginfo_t fields had to be renamed
to prevent undesired macro expansion. Internal code that wants to
manipulate signal masks must now include <sigsetops.h> (which is not
installed) and should be aware that __sigaddset, __sigandset,
__sigdelset, __sigemptyset, and __sigorset no longer return a value
(unlike the public API). Relatedly, the public signal.h no longer
declares any of those functions. The obsolete sigmask() macro no
longer has a system-specific definition -- in the cases where it
matters, it didn't work anyway.
New Linux architectures should create bits/siginfo-arch.h and/or
bits/siginfo-consts-arch.h to customize their siginfo_t, rather than
duplicating everything in bits/siginfo.h (which no longer exists).
Add new __SI_* macros if necessary. Ports to other operating systems
are strongly encouraged to generalize this scheme further.

Currently all architectures but microblaze use wire-up syscall for
p{readv,write}v. Microblaze still uses the syscall emulation using
sysdep/posix/p{readv,writev}.c and it was reported in some ocasions
[1] [2] that it might have some issues with some linux specific
usage (mainly with O_DIRECT and the alignment requirement).
Although it is not an issue for virtually all the system, this
patch refactors the sysdeps/posix p{read,write}v syscall to avoid
such issue (by using posix_memalign on the buffer used on
p{read,write} call) and by refactoring it common files to avoid
the need check on defines to correct set the alias and internal
symbols.
Checked on microblaze-linux-gnu check with run-built-tests=no and
by using the sysdeps/posix implementation on x86_64-linux-gnu (just
for sanity test where it shown no regression).

When converting a struct hostent response to struct gaih_addrtuple, the
gethosts macro (which is called from gaih_inet) used alloca, without
malloc fallback for large responses. This commit changes this code to
use calloc unconditionally.
This commit also consolidated a second hostent-to-gaih_addrtuple
conversion loop (in gaih_inet) to use the new conversion function.
The overloading approach in the W* macros was incompatible with
integer expressions of a type different from int. Applications
using union wait and these macros will have to migrate to the
POSIX-specified int status type.
This patch implements a new posix_spawn{p} implementation for Linux. The main
difference is it uses the clone syscall directly with CLONE_VM and CLONE_VFORK
flags and a direct allocated stack. The new stack and start function solves
most the vfork limitation (possible parent clobber due stack spilling). The
remaning issue are related to signal handling:
1. That no signal handlers must run in child context, to avoid corrupt
parent's state.
2. Child must synchronize with parent to enforce stack deallocation and
to possible return execv issues.
The first one is solved by blocking all signals in child, even NPTL-internal
ones (SIGCANCEL and SIGSETXID). The second issue is done by a stack allocation
in parent and a synchronization with using a pipe or waitpid (in case or error).
The pipe has the advantage of allowing the child signal an exec error (checked
with new tst-spawn2 test).
There is an inherent race condition in pipe2 usage for architectures that do not
support the syscall directly. In such cases the a pipe plus fctnl is used
instead and it may lead to file descriptor leak in parent (as decribed by fcntl
documentation).
The child process stack is allocate with a mmap with MAP_STACK flag using
default architecture stack size. Although it is slower than use a stack buffer
from parent, it allows some slack for the compatibility code to run scripts
with no shebang (which may use a buffer with size depending of argument list
count).
Performance should be similar to the vfork default posix implementation and
way faster than fork path (vfork on mostly linux ports are basically
clone with CLONE_VM plus CLONE_VFORK). The only difference is the syscalls
required for the stack allocation/deallocation.
It fixes BZ#10354, BZ#14750, and BZ#18433.

Linux 2.6.32 and forward do not show the issue regarding SysV SIGCHLD
vs. SIG_IGN for nanosleep which make it feasible to use it for sleep
implementation without requiring any hacking to handle the spurious
wake up. The issue is likely being fixed before 2.6 and git
history [1] [2].
This patch simplifies the sleep code to call nanosleep directly by
using the posix default version. It also removes the early cancellation
tests for zero argument, since nanosleep will handle cancellation
in this case.

This does not completely address bug 15661, but improves the situation
somewhat.
Both open and openat load their last argument 'mode' lazily, using
va_arg() only if O_CREAT is found in oflag. This is wrong, mode is also
necessary if O_TMPFILE is in oflag.
By chance on x86_64, the problem wasn't evident when using O_TMPFILE
with open, as the 3rd argument of open, even when not loaded with
va_arg, is left untouched in RDX, where the syscall expects it.
However, openat was not so lucky, and O_TMPFILE couldn't be used: mode
is the 4th argument, in RCX, but the syscall expects its 4th argument in
a different register than the glibc wrapper, in R10.
Introduce a macro __OPEN_NEEDS_MODE (oflag) to test if either O_CREAT or
O_TMPFILE is set in oflag.
Tested on Linux x86_64.

posix_spawn (a standard POSIX function) brings in a use of getrlimit64
(not a standard POSIX function). This patch fixes this by using
__getrlimit64 and making getrlimit64 a weak alias.
This is more complicated than some such changes because of files that
define getrlimit64 in their own way using symbol versioning after
including the main sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getrlimit64.c with a
getrlimit macro defined. There are various existing patterns for such
cases in glibc; the one I've used here is that a getrlimit64 macro
disables the weak_alias / libc_hidden_weak calls, leaving it to the
including file to define the getrlimit64 name in whatever way is
appropriate.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by this patch.

This patch adds support to generate the spec array in getconf from the

On ARM, where profil_counter is not static, it is brought in by
references to various standard functions, as noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-11/msg00890.html>, although
it is not a standard function itself. I don't know if this also
causes test failures on SPARC, although I see no reason for it not to
do so.
This patch fixes this namespace issue. profil_counter is renamed to
__profil_counter and made a weak alias on ARM and SPARC. Because of
the uses in profil.c / sprofil.c it seems simplest to make the rename
globally, including on the other architectures for which
profil_counter was static and so the change is of no substance. The
variant names profil_counter_* used in sprofil.c are also renamed to
start with __ so that undesired function names do not get exported in
static libc.
As I noted in bug 17726, profil_counter should probably be a compat
symbol on ARM and SPARC, so it wouldn't exist at all in static libc
even as a weak alias. Since defining a compat symbol still requires
an internal name as a target of an alias, this patch still seems
reasonable as an intermediate step towards that goal: it wouldn't be
possible for the function simply to be static profil_counter on ARM
and SPARC with profil_counter also being the exported compat symbol
name, so profil.c / sprofil.c would still need to be prepared to call
the function under another name (here, __profil_counter).
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that stripped installed shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch) and ARM (ABI and linknamespace
tests - this patch reduces the number of linknamespace failures I see
on ARM from 227 to 5, the residue being math.h failures for fe*
functions and for j0l/j1n/jnl/y0l/y1l/ynl aliases).

qsort_r is defined in the same file as qsort, but is not an ISO C
function, so should be a weak alias for __qsort_r. The uses in
getaddrinfo should also call __qsort_r, since getaddrinfo is a POSIX
function and qsort_r isn't. This patch implements this. Because nscd
uses the getaddrinfo sources outside libc, as do the tst-rfc3484
tests, a #define of __qsort_r to qsort_r is added there alongside the
similar defines for other libc-internal symbols used in getaddrinfo.

__getcwd is called from dcigettext.o (brought in by various ISO C
functionality), but calls rewinddir, which is not an ISO C function.
This patch makes __getcwd call __rewinddir instead and makes rewinddir
a weak alias for __rewinddir.
Since getcwd.c is shared with gnulib (albeit not merged in either
direction for a long time, and omitted from gnulib's
config/srclist.txt list of shared files) I put in a #ifndef _LIBC
define of __rewinddir to rewinddir, although a future merged version
of getcwd could end up looking significantly different.

getaddrinfo correctly returns EAI_AGAIN for AF_INET and AF_INET6
queries. For AF_UNSPEC however, an older change
(a682a1bf55) broke the check and due to
that the returned error was EAI_NONAME.
This patch fixes the check so that a non-authoritative not-found is
returned as EAI_AGAIN to the user instead of EAI_NONAME.
pathconf(_PC_NAME_MAX) was implemented on top of statfs(). The 32bit
version therefore fails EOVERFLOW if the filesystem blockcount is
sufficiently large.
Most pathconf() queries use statvfs64(), which avoids this issue. This
patch modifies pathconf(_PC_NAME_MAX) to do likewise.
This fixes a bug in the way the results from __nscd_getai are collected:
for every returned result a new entry is first added to the
gaih_addrtuple list, but if that result doesn't match the request this
entry remains uninitialized. So for this non-matching result an extra
result with uninitialized content is returned.
To reproduce (with nscd running):
$ getent ahostsv4 localhost
127.0.0.1 STREAM localhost
127.0.0.1 DGRAM
127.0.0.1 RAW
(null) STREAM
(null) DGRAM
(null) RAW
We needlessly enabled thread cancellation before it was necessary. As
only call that needs to be guarded is waitpid which is cancellation
point we could remove cancellation altogether.
Only gaih_inet() and gaih_inet_serv() use a special bit flag denoted
by the GAIH_OKIFUNSPEC macro. Only the return value of
gaih_inet_serv() is actively checked for the bit flag which is
redundant because it just copies the nonzero property of the value
otherwise returned. The return value of gaih_inet() is only checked
for being zero and then the bit flag is filtered out. As the bit flag
is set only for otherwise nonzero return values, it doesn't affect the
zero comparison. GAIH_EAI just an alias to ~GAIH_OKIFUNSPEC.
Resolves#16072 (CVE-2013-4458).
This patch fixes another stack overflow in getaddrinfo when it is
called with AF_INET6. The AF_UNSPEC case was fixed as CVE-2013-1914,
but the AF_INET6 case went undetected back then.

With the following /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 www.my-domain.es
127.0.1.1 www.my-domain.es
192.168.0.1 www.my-domain.es
Using getaddrinfo() on www.my-domain.es, trigger the following assertion:
../sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c:1473: rfc3484_sort: Assertion
`src->results[i].native == -1 || src->results[i].native == a1_native' failed.
This is due to two different bugs:
- In rfc3484_sort() rule 7, src->results[i].native is assigned even if
src->results[i].index is -1, meaning that no interface is associated.
- In getaddrinfo() the source IP address used with the lo interface needs a
special case, as it can be any IP within 127.X.Y.Z.
__clock_gettime and other __clock_* functions could result in an extra
PLT reference within libc.so if it actually gets used. None of the
code currently uses them, which is why this probably went unnoticed.
Fixes BZ #15339.
NSS_STATUS_UNAVAIL may mean that a necessary input resource is not
available. This could occur in a number of cases including when the
network is down, system runs out of file descriptors, etc. The
correct differentiator in such a case is the h_errno, which gives the
nature of failure. In case of failures other than a simple 'not
found', we set h_errno as NETDB_INTERNAL and let errno be the
identifier for the exact error.
When glibc is built with --enable-static-nss, the warning that

is no longer true, as those symbols are built into libc. Suppress
the warning for those symbols by providing a new macro

Whenever getaddrinfo needed network interface information it used the
netlink interface to read the information every single time. The
problem is that this information can change at any time.
The patch implements monitoring of the network interfaces through
nscd. If no change is detected the previously read information can
be reused (which is the norm). This timestamp information is also
made available to other processes using the shared memory segment
between nscd and those processes.
getaddrinfo works around the resolver functionality to avoid automatic
IPv6 lookups. The restoring didn't allow for the resolver to set
additional bits in _res.
The getcwd syscall (so far?) can only handle path up to one page
in size. There is no limit about directory hierarchy depth, though,
and the POSIX getcwd is supposed to handle this. In that case fall
back to the generic getcwd.
Additionally, optimize the generic getcwd to use openat when possible
to change the asymptotic performance from O(N^2) to O(n).
