The tunable privilege levels were a retrofit to try and keep the malloc
tunable environment variables' behavior unchanged across security
boundaries. However, CVE-2023-4911 shows how tricky can be
tunable parsing in a security-sensitive environment.
Not only parsing, but the malloc tunable essentially changes some
semantics on setuid/setgid processes. Although it is not a direct
security issue, allowing users to change setuid/setgid semantics is not
a good security practice, and requires extra code and analysis to check
if each tunable is safe to use on all security boundaries.
It also means that security opt-in features, like aarch64 MTE, would
need to be explicit enabled by an administrator with a wrapper script
or with a possible future system-wide tunable setting.

The existing logic avoided internal stack overflow. To avoid
a denial-of-service condition with adversarial input, it is necessary
to fall over to heapsort if tail-recursing deeply, too, which does
not result in a deep stack of pending partitions.
The new test stdlib/tst-qsort5 is based on Douglas McIlroy's paper
on this subject.

The PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME support is only enabled through a configurable
kernel switch, mainly because assigning a name to a
anonymous virtual memory area might prevent that area from being
merged with adjacent virtual memory areas.
For instance, with the following code:
void *p1 = mmap (NULL,
1024 * 4096,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1,
0);
void *p2 = mmap (p1 + (1024 * 4096),
1024 * 4096,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1,
0);
The kernel will potentially merge both mappings resulting in only one
segment of size 0x800000. If the segment is names with
PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME with different names, it results in two mappings.
Although this will unlikely be an issue for pthread stacks and malloc
arenas (since for pthread stacks the guard page will result in
a PROT_NONE segment, similar to the alignment requirement for the arena
block), it still might prevent the mmap memory allocated for detail
malloc.
There is also another potential scalability issue, where the prctl
requires
to take the mmap global lock which is still not fully fixed in Linux
[1] (for pthread stacks and arenas, it is mitigated by the stack
cached and the arena reuse).
So this patch disables anonymous mapping annotations as default and
add a new tunable, glibc.mem.decorate_maps, can be used to enable
it.

Linux 5.17 added support to naming anonymous virtual memory areas
through the prctl syscall. The __set_vma_name is a wrapper to avoid
optimizing the prctl call if the kernel does not support it.
If the kernel does not support PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, prctl returns
EINVAL. And it also returns the same error for an invalid argument.
Since it is an internal-only API, it assumes well-formatted input:
aligned START, with (START, START+LEN) being a valid memory range,
and NAME with a limit of 80 characters without an invalid one
("\\`$[]").

When invoking sem_open with O_CREAT as one of its flags, we'll end up
in the second part of sem_open's "if ((oflag & O_CREAT) == 0 || (oflag
& O_EXCL) == 0)", which means that we don't expect the semaphore file
to exist.
In that part, open_flags is initialized as "O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_EXCL
| O_CLOEXEC" and there's an attempt to open(2) the file, which will
likely fail because it won't exist. After that first (expected)
failure, some cleanup is done and we go back to the label "try_again",
which lives in the first part of the aforementioned "if".
The problem is that, in that part of the code, we expect the semaphore
file to exist, and as such O_CREAT (this time the flag we pass to
open(2)) needs to be cleaned from open_flags, otherwise we'll see
another failure (this time unexpected) when trying to open the file,
which will lead the call to sem_open to fail as well.
This can cause very strange bugs, especially with OpenMPI, which makes
extensive use of semaphores.
Fix the bug by simplifying the logic when choosing open(2) flags and
making sure O_CREAT is not set when the semaphore file is expected to
exist.
A regression test for this issue would require a complex and cpu time
consuming logic, since to trigger the wrong code path is not
straightforward due the racy condition. There is a somewhat reliable
reproducer in the bug, but it requires using OpenMPI.
This resolves BZ #30789.
