This is the first of a 2-part patch set that fixes slow DSO sorting behavior in
the dynamic loader, as reported in BZ #17645. In order to facilitate such a
large modification to the dynamic loader, this first patch implements a testing
framework for validating shared object sorting behavior, to enable comparison
between old/new sorting algorithms, and any later enhancements.
This testing infrastructure consists of a Python script
scripts/dso-ordering-test.py' which takes in a description language, consisting
of strings that describe a set of link dependency relations between DSOs, and
generates testcase programs and Makefile fragments to automatically test the
described situation, for example:
a->b->c->d # four objects linked one after another
a->[bc]->d;b->c # a depends on b and c, which both depend on d,
# b depends on c (b,c linked to object a in fixed order)
a->b->c;{+a;%a;-a} # a, b, c serially dependent, main program uses
# dlopen/dlsym/dlclose on object a
a->b->c;{}!->[abc] # a, b, c serially dependent; multiple tests generated
# to test all permutations of a, b, c ordering linked
# to main program
(Above is just a short description of what the script can do, more
documentation is in the script comments.)
Two files containing several new tests, elf/dso-sort-tests-[12].def are added,
including test scenarios for BZ #15311 and Redhat issue #1162810 [1].
Due to the nature of dynamic loader tests, where the sorting behavior and test
output occurs before/after main(), generating testcases to use
support/test-driver.c does not suffice to control meaningful timeout for ld.so.
Therefore a new utility program 'support/test-run-command', based on
test-driver.c/support_test_main.c has been added. This does the same testcase
control, but for a program specified through a command-line rather than at the
source code level. This utility is used to run the dynamic loader testcases
generated by dso-ordering-test.py.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...

Since gettimeofday will shortly be implemented in terms of
clock_gettime on all platforms, internal code should use clock_gettime
directly; in addition to removing a layer of indirection, this will
allow us to remove the PLT-bypass gunk for gettimeofday. (We can't
quite do that yet, but it'll be coming later in this patch series.)
In many cases, the changed code does fewer conversions.
The changed code always assumes __clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME)
cannot fail. Most of the call sites were assuming gettimeofday could
not fail, but a few places were checking for errors. POSIX says
clock_gettime can only fail if the clock constant is invalid or
unsupported, and CLOCK_REALTIME is the one and only clock constant
that's required to be supported. For consistency I grepped the entire
source tree for any other places that checked for errors from
__clock_gettime (CLOCK_REALTIME), found one, and changed it too.
(For the record, POSIX also says gettimeofday can never fail.)
(It would be nice if we could declare that GNU systems will always
support CLOCK_MONOTONIC as well as CLOCK_REALTIME; there are several
places where we are using CLOCK_REALTIME where _MONOTONIC would be
more appropriate, and/or trying to use _MONOTONIC and then falling
back to _REALTIME. But the Hurd doesn't support CLOCK_MONOTONIC yet,
and it looks like adding it would involve substantial changes to
gnumach's internals and API. Oh well.)
A few Hurd-specific files were changed to use __host_get_time instead
of __clock_gettime, as this seemed tidier. We also assume this cannot
fail. Skimming the code in gnumach leads me to believe the only way
it could fail is if __mach_host_self also failed, and our
Hurd-specific code consistently assumes that can't happen, so I'm
going with that.
With the exception of support/support_test_main.c, test cases are not
modified, mainly because I didn't want to have to figure out which
test cases were testing gettimeofday specifically.
The definition of GETTIME in sysdeps/generic/memusage.h had a typo and
was not reading tv_sec at all. I fixed this. It appears nobody has been
generating malloc traces on a machine that doesn't have a superseding
definition.
There are a whole bunch of places where the code could be simplified
by factoring out timespec subtraction and/or comparison logic, but I
want to keep this patch as mechanical as possible.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
powerpc64-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.

If WAIT_FOR_DEBUGGER is set to a non-zero value in the environment,
any test that runs will print some useful gdb information and wait
for gdb to attach to it and clear the "wait_for_debugger" variable.

This is sometimes useful to determine if a test truly got stuck, or if
it was making progress (logging information to standard output) and
was merely slow to finish.
This patch adds an option to test to add small command line option
through CMDLINE_OPTSTRING define. For instance:
#define CMDLINE_OPTSTRING "vd"
static void
cmdline_process_function (int c)
{
switch (c):
'v':
/* process '-v' option. */
break;
'd':
/* process '-d' option. */
break;
}
#define CMDLINE_PROCESS cmdline_process_function
It will add both '-v' and '-d' along with already default long options.
* support/support_test_main.c (support_test_main): Use optstring
member for option string in getopt_long.
* support/test-driver.c: Add comment about CMDLINE_OPTSTRING.
(CMDLINE_OPTSTRING): New define.
* support/test-driver.h (test_config): Add optstring member.
The new functions support_record_failure records a test failure,
but does not terminate the process. The macros TEST_VERIFY
and TEST_VERIFY_EXIT check that a condition is true.
The new test driver in <support/test-driver.c> has feature parity with
the old one. The main difference is that its hooking mechanism is
based on functions and function pointers instead of macros. This
commit also implements a new environment variable, TEST_COREDUMPS,
which disables the code which disables coredumps (that is, it enables
them if the invocation environment has not disabled them).
<test-skeleton.c> defines wrapper functions so that it is possible to
use existing macros with the new-style hook functionality.
This commit changes only a few test cases to the new test driver, to
make sure that it works as expected.
