C23 adds a header <stdbit.h> with various functions and type-generic
macros for bit-manipulation of unsigned integers (plus macro defines
related to endianness). Implement this header for glibc.
The functions have both inline definitions in the header (referenced
by macros defined in the header) and copies with external linkage in
the library (which are implemented in terms of those macros to avoid
duplication). They are documented in the glibc manual. Tests, as
well as verifying results for various inputs (of both the macros and
the out-of-line functions), verify the types of those results (which
showed up a bug in an earlier version with the type-generic macro
stdc_has_single_bit wrongly returning a promoted type), that the
macros can be used at top level in a source file (so don't use ({})),
that they evaluate their arguments exactly once, and that the macros
for the type-specific functions have the expected implicit conversions
to the relevant argument type.
Jakub previously referred to -Wconversion warnings in type-generic
macros, so I've included a test with -Wconversion (but the only
warnings I saw and fixed from that test were actually in inline
functions in the <stdbit.h> header - not anything coming from use of
the type-generic macros themselves).
This implementation of the type-generic macros does not handle
unsigned __int128, or unsigned _BitInt types with a width other than
that of a standard integer type (and C23 doesn't require the header to
handle such types either). Support for those types, using the new
type-generic built-in functions Jakub's added for GCC 14, can
reasonably be added in a followup (along of course with associated
tests).
This implementation doesn't do anything special to handle C++, or have
any tests of functionality in C++ beyond the existing tests that all
headers can be compiled in C++ code; it's not clear exactly what form
this header should take in C++, but probably not one using macros.
DIS ballot comment AT-107 asks for the word "count" to be added to the
names of the stdc_leading_zeros, stdc_leading_ones,
stdc_trailing_zeros and stdc_trailing_ones functions and macros. I
don't think it's likely to be accepted (accepting any technical
comments would mean having an FDIS ballot), but if it is accepted at
the WG14 meeting (22-26 January in Strasbourg, starting with DIS
ballot comment handling) then there would still be time to update
glibc for the renaming before the 2.39 release.
The new functions and header are placed in the stdlib/ directory in
glibc, rather than creating a new toplevel stdbit/ or putting them in
string/ alongside ffs.

This interface allows to obtain the associated process ID from the

information. Its prototype is:
pid_t pidfd_getpid (int fd)
It returns the associated pid or -1 in case of an error and sets the
errno accordingly. The possible errno values are those from open, read,
and close (used on procps parsing), along with:
- EBADF if the FD is negative, does not have a PID associated, or if
the fdinfo fields contain a value larger than pid_t.
- EREMOTE if the PID is in a separate namespace.
- ESRCH if the process is already terminated.

Returning a pidfd allows a process to keep a race-free handle for a
child process, otherwise, the caller will need to either use pidfd_open
(which still might be subject to TOCTOU) or keep the old racy interface
base on pid_t.
To correct use pifd_spawn, the kernel must support not only returning
the pidfd with clone/clone3 but also waitid (P_PIDFD) (added on Linux
5.4). If kernel does not support the waitid, pidfd return ENOSYS.
It avoids the need to racy workarounds, such as reading the procfs
fdinfo to get the pid to use along with other wait interfaces.
These interfaces are similar to the posix_spawn and posix_spawnp, with
the only difference being it returns a process file descriptor (int)
instead of a process ID (pid_t). Their prototypes are:
int pidfd_spawn (int *restrict pidfd,
const char *restrict file,
const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *restrict facts,
const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attrp,
char *const argv[restrict],
char *const envp[restrict])
int pidfd_spawnp (int *restrict pidfd,
const char *restrict path,
const posix_spawn_file_actions_t *restrict facts,
const posix_spawnattr_t *restrict attrp,
char *const argv[restrict_arr],
char *const envp[restrict_arr]);
A new symbol is used instead of a posix_spawn extension to avoid
possible issues with language bindings that might track the return
argument lifetime. Although on Linux pid_t and int are interchangeable,
POSIX only states that pid_t should be a signed integer.
Both symbols reuse the posix_spawn posix_spawn_file_actions_t and
posix_spawnattr_t, to void rehash posix_spawn API or add a new one. It
also means that both interfaces support the same attribute and file
actions, and a new flag or file action on posix_spawn is also added
automatically for pidfd_spawn.
Also, using posix_spawn plumbing allows the reusing of most of the
current testing with some changes:
- waitid is used instead of waitpid since it is a more generic
interface.
- tst-posix_spawn-setsid.c is adapted to take into consideration that
the caller can check for session id directly. The test now spawns
itself and writes the session id as a file instead.
- tst-spawn3.c need to know where pidfd_spawn is used so it keeps an
extra file description unused.

So I was able to reproduce the hangs in the original source, and debug
it, and fix it. In doing so, I realized that we can't use anything
complex to trigger the thread because that "anything" might also cause
the expected segfault and force everything out of sync again.
Here's what I ended up with, and it doesn't seem to hang where the
original one hung quite often (in a tight while..end loop). The key
changes are:
1. Calls to futex are error checked, with retries, to ensure that the
futexes are actually doing what they're supposed to be doing. In the
original code, nearly every futex call returned an error.
2. The main loop has checks for whether the thread ran or not, and
"unlocks" the thread if it didn't (this is how the original source
hangs).
Note: the usleep() is not for timing purposes, but just to give the
kernel an excuse to run the other thread at that time. The test will
not hang without it, but is more likely to test the right bugfix
if the usleep() is present.
C2x adds binary integer constants starting with 0b or 0B, and supports
those constants for the %i scanf format (in addition to the %b format,
which isn't yet implemented for scanf in glibc). Implement that scanf
support for glibc.
As with the strtol support, this is incompatible with previous C
standard versions, in that such an input string starting with 0b or 0B
was previously required to be parsed as 0 (with the rest of the input
potentially matching subsequent parts of the scanf format string).
Thus this patch adds 12 new __isoc23_* functions per long double
format (12, 24 or 36 depending on how many long double formats the
glibc configuration supports), with appropriate header redirection
support (generally very closely following that for the __isoc99_*
scanf functions - note that __GLIBC_USE (DEPRECATED_SCANF) takes
precedence over __GLIBC_USE (C2X_STRTOL), so the case of GNU
extensions to C89 continues to get old-style GNU %a and does not get
this new feature). The function names would remain as __isoc23_* even
if C2x ends up published in 2024 rather than 2023.
When scanf %b support is added, I think it will be appropriate for all
versions of scanf to follow C2x rules for inputs to the %b format
(given that there are no compatibility concerns for a new format).

C2x adds binary integer constants starting with 0b or 0B, and supports
those constants in strtol-family functions when the base passed is 0
or 2. Implement that strtol support for glibc.
As discussed at
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-December/120414.html>,
this is incompatible with previous C standard versions, in that such
an input string starting with 0b or 0B was previously required to be
parsed as 0 (with the rest of the string unprocessed). Thus, as
proposed there, this patch adds 20 new __isoc23_* functions with
appropriate header redirection support. This patch does *not* do
anything about scanf %i (which will need 12 new functions per long
double variant, so 12, 24 or 36 depending on the glibc configuration),
instead leaving that for a future patch. The function names would
remain as __isoc23_* even if C2x ends up published in 2024 rather than
2023.
Making this change leads to the question of what should happen to
internal uses of these functions in glibc and its tests. The header
redirection (which applies for _GNU_SOURCE or any other feature test
macros enabling C2x features) has the effect of redirecting internal
uses but without those uses then ending up at a hidden alias (see the
comment in include/stdio.h about interaction with libc_hidden_proto).
It seems desirable for the default for internal uses to be the same
versions used by normal code using _GNU_SOURCE, so rather than doing
anything to disable that redirection, similar macro definitions to
those in include/stdio.h are added to the include/ headers for the new
functions.
Given that the default for uses in glibc is for the redirections to
apply, the next question is whether the C2x semantics are correct for
all those uses. Uses with the base fixed to 10, 16 or any other value
other than 0 or 2 can be ignored. I think this leaves the following
internal uses to consider (an important consideration for review of
this patch will be both whether this list is complete and whether my
conclusions on all entries in it are correct):
benchtests/bench-malloc-simple.c
benchtests/bench-string.h
elf/sotruss-lib.c
math/libm-test-support.c
nptl/perf.c
nscd/nscd_conf.c
nss/nss_files/files-parse.c
posix/tst-fnmatch.c
posix/wordexp.c
resolv/inet_addr.c
rt/tst-mqueue7.c
soft-fp/testit.c
stdlib/fmtmsg.c
support/support_test_main.c
support/test-container.c
sysdeps/pthread/tst-mutex10.c
I think all of these places are OK with the new semantics, except for
resolv/inet_addr.c, where the POSIX semantics of inet_addr do not
allow for binary constants; thus, I changed that file (to use
__strtoul_internal, whose semantics are unchanged) and added a test
for this case. In the case of posix/wordexp.c I think accepting
binary constants is OK since POSIX explicitly allows additional forms
of shell arithmetic expressions, and in stdlib/fmtmsg.c SEV_LEVEL is
not in POSIX so again I think accepting binary constants is OK.
Functions such as __strtol_internal, which are only exported for
compatibility with old binaries from when those were used in inline
functions in headers, have unchanged semantics; the __*_l_internal
versions (purely internal to libc and not exported) have a new
argument to specify whether to accept binary constants.
As well as for the standard functions, the header redirection also
applies to the *_l versions (GNU extensions), and to legacy functions
such as strtoq, to avoid confusing inconsistency (the *q functions
redirect to __isoc23_*ll rather than needing their own __isoc23_*
entry points). For the functions that are only declared with
_GNU_SOURCE, this means the old versions are no longer available for
normal user programs at all. An internal __GLIBC_USE_C2X_STRTOL macro
is used to control the redirections in the headers, and cases in glibc
that wish to avoid the redirections - the function implementations
themselves and the tests of the old versions of the GNU functions -
then undefine and redefine that macro to allow the old versions to be
accessed. (There would of course be greater complexity should we wish
to make any of the old versions into compat symbols / avoid them being
defined at all for new glibc ABIs.)
strtol_l.c has some similarity to strtol.c in gnulib, but has already
diverged some way (and isn't listed at all at
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/SharedSourceFiles unlike strtoll.c
and strtoul.c); I haven't made any attempts at gnulib compatibility in
the changes to that file.
I note incidentally that inttypes.h and wchar.h are missing the
__nonnull present on declarations of this family of functions in
stdlib.h; I didn't make any changes in that regard for the new
declarations added.

Similar to ppoll, the poll.h header needs to redirect the poll call
to a proper fortified ppoll with 64 bit time_t support.
The implementation is straightforward, just need to add a similar
check as __poll_chk and call the 64 bit time_t ppoll version. The
debug fortify tests are also extended to cover 64 bit time_t for
affected ABIs.
Unfortunately it requires an aditional symbol, which makes backport
tricky. One possibility is to add a static inline version if compiler
supports is and call abort instead of __chk_fail, so fortified version
will call __poll64 in the end.
Another possibility is to just remove the fortify support for
_TIME_BITS=64.

The old exception handling implementation used function interposition
to replace the dynamic loader implementation (no TLS support) with the
libc implementation (TLS support). This results in problems if the
link order between the dynamic loader and libc is reversed (bug 25486).
The new implementation moves the entire implementation of the
exception handling functions back into the dynamic loader, using
THREAD_GETMEM and THREAD_SETMEM for thread-local data support.
These depends on Hurd support for these macros, added in commit
b65a82e4e7 ("hurd: Add THREAD_GET/SETMEM/_NC").
One small obstacle is that the exception handling facilities are used
before the TCB has been set up, so a check is needed if the TCB is
available. If not, a regular global variable is used to store the
exception handling information.
Also rename dl-error.c to dl-catch.c, to avoid confusion with the

The implementation is based on scalar Chacha20 with per-thread cache.
It uses getrandom or /dev/urandom as fallback to get the initial entropy,
and reseeds the internal state on every 16MB of consumed buffer.
To improve performance and lower memory consumption the per-thread cache
is allocated lazily on first arc4random functions call, and if the
memory allocation fails getentropy or /dev/urandom is used as fallback.
The cache is also cleared on thread exit iff it was initialized (so if
arc4random is not called it is not touched).
Although it is lock-free, arc4random is still not async-signal-safe
(the per thread state is not updated atomically).
The ChaCha20 implementation is based on RFC8439 [1], omitting the final
XOR of the keystream with the plaintext because the plaintext is a
stream of zeros. This strategy is similar to what OpenBSD arc4random
does.
The arc4random_uniform is based on previous work by Florian Weimer,
where the algorithm is based on Jérémie Lumbroso paper Optimal Discrete
Uniform Generation from Coin Flips, and Applications (2013) [2], who
credits Donald E. Knuth and Andrew C. Yao, The complexity of nonuniform
random number generation (1976), for solving the general case.
The main advantage of this method is the that the unit of randomness is not
the uniform random variable (uint32_t), but a random bit. It optimizes the
internal buffer sampling by initially consuming a 32-bit random variable
and then sampling byte per byte. Depending of the upper bound requested,
it might lead to better CPU utilization.

This was added on Linux 5.3 (32fcb426ec001cb6d5a4a195091a8486ea77e2df)
as a way to retrieve a pid file descriptors for process that has not
been created CLONE_PIDFD (by usual fork/clone).

The Linux version used by i686 and m68k provide three overrrides for
generic code:
1. DISTINGUISH_LIB_VERSIONS to print additional information when
libc5 is used by a dependency.
2. EXTRA_LD_ENVVARS to that enabled LD_LIBRARY_VERSION environment
variable.
3. EXTRA_UNSECURE_ENVVARS to add two environment variables related
to aout support.
None are really requires, it has some decades since libc5 or aout
suppported was removed and Linux even remove support for aout files.
The LD_LIBRARY_VERSION is also dead code, dl_correct_cache_id is not
used anywhere.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

The kernel version check is used to avoid glibc to run on older
kernels where some syscall are not available and fallback code are
not enabled to handle graciously fail. However, it does not prevent
if the kernel does not correctly advertise its version through
vDSO note, uname or procfs.
Also kernel version checks are sometime not desirable by users,
where they want to deploy on different system with different kernel
version knowing the minimum set of syscall is always presented on
such systems.
The kernel version check has been removed along with the
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable. The minimum kernel used to
built glibc is still provided through NT_GNU_ABI_TAG ELF note and
also printed when libc.so is issued.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
