The previous patch ensured that all chunk to mem computations use

The difference between chunk2mem and chunk2rawmem is that the latter
does not get the memory tag for the returned pointer. It turns out
chunk2rawmem almost always works:
The input of chunk2mem is a chunk pointer that is untagged so it can
access the chunk header. All memory that is not user allocated heap
memory is untagged, which in the current implementation means that it
has the 0 tag, but this patch does not rely on the tag value. The
patch relies on that chunk operations are either done on untagged
chunks or without doing memory access to the user owned part.
Internal interface contracts:
sysmalloc: Returns untagged memory.
_int_malloc: Returns untagged memory.
_int_free: Takes untagged memory.
_int_memalign: Returns untagged memory.
_int_realloc: Takes and returns tagged memory.
So only _int_realloc and functions outside this list need care.
Alignment checks do not need the right tag and tcache works with
untagged memory.
tag_at was kept in realloc after an mremap, which is not strictly
necessary, since the pointer is only used to retag the memory, but this
way the tag is guaranteed to be different from the old tag.

This essentially folds compat_symbol_unique functionality into
compat_symbol.
This change eliminates the need for intermediate aliases for defining
multiple symbol versions, for both compat_symbol and versioned_symbol.
Some binutils versions do not suport multiple versions per symbol on
some targets, so aliases are automatically introduced, similar to what
compat_symbol_unique did. To reduce symbol table sizes, a configure
check is added to avoid these aliases if they are not needed.
The new mechanism works with data symbols as well as function symbols,
due to the way an assembler-level redirect is used. It is not
compatible with weak symbols for old binutils versions, which is why
the definition of __malloc_initialize_hook had to be changed. This
is not a loss of functionality because weak symbols do not matter
to dynamic linking.
The placeholder symbol needs repeating in nptl/libpthread-compat.c
now that compat_symbol is used, but that seems more obvious than
introducing yet another macro.
A subtle difference was that compat_symbol_unique made the symbol
global automatically. compat_symbol does not do this, so static

Safe-Linking is a security mechanism that protects single-linked
lists (such as the fastbin and tcache) from being tampered by attackers.
The mechanism makes use of randomness from ASLR (mmap_base), and when
combined with chunk alignment integrity checks, it protects the "next"
pointers from being hijacked by an attacker.
While Safe-Unlinking protects double-linked lists (such as the small
bins), there wasn't any similar protection for attacks against
single-linked lists. This solution protects against 3 common attacks:
* Partial pointer override: modifies the lower bytes (Little Endian)
* Full pointer override: hijacks the pointer to an attacker's location
* Unaligned chunks: pointing the list to an unaligned address
The design assumes an attacker doesn't know where the heap is located,
and uses the ASLR randomness to "sign" the single-linked pointers. We
mark the pointer as P and the location in which it is stored as L, and
the calculation will be:
* PROTECT(P) := (L >> PAGE_SHIFT) XOR (P)
* *L = PROTECT(P)
This way, the random bits from the address L (which start at the bit
in the PAGE_SHIFT position), will be merged with LSB of the stored
protected pointer. This protection layer prevents an attacker from
modifying the pointer into a controlled value.
An additional check that the chunks are MALLOC_ALIGNed adds an
important layer:
* Attackers can't point to illegal (unaligned) memory addresses
* Attackers must guess correctly the alignment bits
On standard 32 bit Linux machines, an attack will directly fail 7
out of 8 times, and on 64 bit machines it will fail 15 out of 16
times.
This proposed patch was benchmarked and it's effect on the overall
performance of the heap was negligible and couldn't be distinguished
from the default variance between tests on the vanilla version. A
similar protection was added to Chromium's version of TCMalloc
in 2012, and according to their documentation it had an overhead of
less than 2%.

The memusagestat is the only binary that has its own link line which
causes it to be linked against the existing installed C library. It
has been this way since it was originally committed in 1999, but I
don't see any reason as to why. Since we want all the programs we
build locally to be against the new copy of glibc, change the build
to be like all other programs.
Remove do_set_mallopt_check prototype since it is unused.

As discussed previously on libc-alpha [1], this patch follows up the idea
and add both the __attribute_alloc_size__ on malloc functions (malloc,
calloc, realloc, reallocarray, valloc, pvalloc, and memalign) and limit
maximum requested allocation size to up PTRDIFF_MAX (taking into
consideration internal padding and alignment).
This aligns glibc with gcc expected size defined by default warning
-Walloc-size-larger-than value which warns for allocation larger than
PTRDIFF_MAX. It also aligns with gcc expectation regarding libc and
expected size, such as described in PR#67999 [2] and previously discussed
ISO C11 issues [3] on libc-alpha.
From the RFC thread [4] and previous discussion, it seems that consensus
is only to limit such requested size for malloc functions, not the system
allocation one (mmap, sbrk, etc.).
The implementation changes checked_request2size to check for both overflow
and maximum object size up to PTRDIFF_MAX. No additional checks are done
on sysmalloc, so it can still issue mmap with values larger than
PTRDIFF_T depending on the requested size.
The __attribute_alloc_size__ is for functions that return a pointer only,
which means it cannot be applied to posix_memalign (see remarks in GCC
PR#87683 [5]). The runtimes checks to limit maximum requested allocation
size does applies to posix_memalign.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

If an error occurs during the tracing operation, particularly during a
call to lock_and_info() which calls _dl_addr, we may end up calling back
into the malloc-subsystem and relock the loader lock and deadlock. For
all intents and purposes the call to _dl_addr can call any of the malloc
family API functions and so we should disable all tracing before calling
such loader functions. This is similar to the strategy that the new
malloc tracer takes when calling the real malloc, namely that all
tracing ceases at the boundary to the real function and any faults at
that point are the purvue of the library (though the new tracer does
this on a per-thread basis in an MT-safe fashion). Since the new tracer
and the hook deprecation are not yet complete we must fix these issues
where we can.

Fixes bug 24216. This patch adds security checks for bk and bk_nextsize pointers
of chunks in large bin when inserting chunk from unsorted bin. It was possible
to write the pointer to victim (newly inserted chunk) to arbitrary memory
locations if bk or bk_nextsize pointers of the next large bin chunk
got corrupted.
One group of warnings seen with -Wextra is warnings for static or
inline not at the start of a declaration (-Wold-style-declaration).
This patch fixes various such cases for inline, ensuring it comes at
the start of the declaration (after any static). A common case of the
fix is "static inline <type> __always_inline"; the definition of
__always_inline starts with __inline, so the natural change is to
"static __always_inline <type>". Other cases of the warning may be
harder to fix (one pattern is a function definition that gets
rewritten to be static by an including file, "#define funcname static
wrapped_funcname" or similar), but it seems worth fixing these cases
with inline anyway.
Tested for x86_64.

One of the warnings that appears with -Wextra is "ordered comparison
of pointer with integer zero" in malloc.c:tcache_get, for the
assertion:
assert (tcache->entries[tc_idx] > 0);
Indeed, a "> 0" comparison does not make sense for
tcache->entries[tc_idx], which is a pointer. My guess is that
tcache->counts[tc_idx] is what's intended here, and this patch changes
the assertion accordingly.
Tested for x86_64.
* malloc/malloc.c (tcache_get): Compare tcache->counts[tc_idx]
with 0, not tcache->entries[tc_idx].
Commit 6923f6db1e ("malloc: Use current
(C11-style) atomics for fastbin access") caused a substantial
performance regression on POWER and Aarch64, and the old atomics,
while hard to prove correct, seem to work in practice.
This commit removes the custom memcpy implementation from _int_realloc
for small chunk sizes. The ncopies variable has the wrong type, and
an integer wraparound could cause the existing code to copy too few
elements (leaving the new memory region mostly uninitialized).
Therefore, removing this code fixes bug 24027.
This one tests for BZ#23907 where the double free
test didn't check the tcache bin bounds before dereferencing
the bin.
[BZ #23907]
* malloc/tst-tcfree3.c: New.
* malloc/Makefile: Add it.
The previous check could read beyond the end of the tcache entry
array. If the e->key == tcache cookie check happened to pass, this
would result in crashes.
This commit is in preparation of turning the macro into a proper
function. The output arguments of the macro were in fact unused.
Also clean up uses of __builtin_expect.

I'm fairly certain that it compares mchunk_size of victim against
mchunk_prev_size of the next chunk, i.e. the size of victim in its
header and footer.

You are right, I don't think it makes a difference in these checks. So
the size local can be reused for the checks against victim. For next,
leaving it as such avoids the masking operation.

We could also do a chunk boundary check similar to what I proposed in
the thread for the first patch in the series to be even more strict.
I'll gladly try to implement either but believe that refining these
checks would bring less benefits than in the case of the top chunk.
Intra-arena or intra-heap overlaps would still be doable here with
unsorted chunks and I don't see any way to counter that besides more
generic measures like randomizing allocations and your metadata
encoding patches.
I've attached a revised version with the above comments incorporated
but without the refined checks.
Thanks,
Istvan

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] malloc: Additional checks for unsorted bin integrity
I.
Ensure the following properties of chunks encountered during binning:
- victim chunk has reasonable size
- next chunk has reasonable size
- next->prev_size == victim->size
- valid double linked list
- PREV_INUSE of next chunk is unset
* malloc/malloc.c (_int_malloc): Additional binning code checks.
The House of Force is a well-known technique to exploit heap
overflow. In essence, this exploit takes three steps:
1. Overwrite the size of top chunk with very large value (e.g. -1).
2. Request x bytes from top chunk. As the size of top chunk
is corrupted, x can be arbitrarily large and top chunk will
still be offset by x.
3. The next allocation from top chunk will thus be controllable.
If we verify the size of top chunk at step 2, we can stop such attack.
The __libc_freeres framework does not extend to non-libc.so objects.
This causes problems in general for valgrind and mtrace detecting
unfreed objects in both libdl.so and libpthread.so. This change is
a pre-requisite to properly moving the malloc hooks out of malloc
since such a move now requires precise accounting of all allocated
data before destructors are run.
This commit adds a proper hook in libc.so.6 for both libdl.so and
for libpthread.so, this ensures that shm-directory.c which uses
freeit () to free memory is called properly. We also remove the
nptl_freeres hook and fall back to using weak-ref-and-check idiom
for a loaded libpthread.so, thus making this process similar for
all DSOs.
Lastly we follow best practice and use explicit free calls for
both libdl.so and libpthread.so instead of the generic hook process
which has undefined order.
Tested on x86_64 with no regressions.
