vfprintf is entangled with vfwprintf (of course), __printf_fp,
__printf_fphex, __vstrfmon_l_internal, and the strfrom family of
functions. The latter use the internal snprintf functionality,
so vsnprintf is converted as well.
The simples conversion is __printf_fphex, followed by
__vstrfmon_l_internal and __printf_fp, and finally
__vfprintf_internal and __vfwprintf_internal. __vsnprintf_internal
and strfrom* are mostly consuming the new interfaces, so they
are comparatively simple.
__printf_fp is a public symbol, so the FILE *-based interface
had to preserved.
The __printf_fp rewrite does not change the actual binary-to-decimal
conversion algorithm, and digits are still not emitted directly to
the target buffer. However, the staging buffer now uses bytes
instead of wide characters, and one buffer copy is eliminated.
The changes are at least performance-neutral in my testing.
Floating point printing and snprintf improved measurably, so that
this Lua script
for i=1,5000000 do
print(i, i * math.pi)
end
runs about 5% faster for me. To preserve fprintf performance for
a simple "%d" format, this commit has some logic changes under
LABEL (unsigned_number) to avoid additional function calls. There
are certainly some very easy performance improvements here: binary,
octal and hexadecimal formatting can easily avoid the temporary work
buffer (the number of digits can be computed ahead-of-time using one
of the __builtin_clz* built-ins). Decimal formatting can use a
specialized version of _itoa_word for base 10.
The existing (inconsistent) width handling between strfmon and printf
is preserved here. __print_fp_buffer_1 would have to use
__translated_number_width to achieve ISO conformance for printf.
Test expectations in libio/tst-vtables-common.c are adjusted because
the internal staging buffer merges all virtual function calls into
one.
In general, stack buffer usage is greatly reduced, particularly for
unbuffered input streams. __printf_fp can still use a large buffer
in binary128 mode for %g, though.

C2X adds a printf %b format (see
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2630.pdf>, accepted
for C2X), for outputting integers in binary. It also has recommended
practice for a corresponding %B format (like %b, but %#B starts the
output with 0B instead of 0b). Add support for these formats to
glibc.
One existing test uses %b as an example of an unknown format, to test
how glibc printf handles unknown formats; change that to %v. Use of
%b and %B as user-registered format specifiers continues to work (and
we already have a test that covers that, tst-printfsz.c).
Note that C2X also has scanf %b support, plus support for binary
constants starting 0b in strtol (base 0 and 2) and scanf %i (strtol
base 0 and scanf %i coming from a previous paper that added binary
integer literals). I intend to implement those features in a separate
patch or patches; as discussed in the thread starting at
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-December/120414.html>,
they will be more complicated because they involve adding extra public
symbols to ensure compatibility with existing code that might not
expect 0b constants to be handled by strtol base 0 and 2 and scanf %i,
whereas simply adding a new format specifier poses no such
compatibility concerns.
Note that the actual conversion from integer to string uses existing
code in _itoa.c. That code has special cases for bases 8, 10 and 16,
probably so that the compiler can optimize division by an integer
constant in the code for those bases. If desired such special cases
could easily be added for base 2 as well, but that would be an
optimization, not actually needed for these printf formats to work.
Tested for x86_64 and x86. Also tested with build-many-glibcs.py for
aarch64-linux-gnu with GCC mainline to make sure that the test does
indeed build with GCC 12 (where format checking warnings are enabled
for most of the test).
A recent GCC mainline change introduces errors of the form:
vfprintf-internal.c: In function 'group_number':
vfprintf-internal.c:2093:15: error: 'memmove' specified bound between 9223372036854775808 and 18446744073709551615 exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
2093 | memmove (w, s, (front_ptr -s) * sizeof (CHAR_T));
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a genuine bug in the glibc code: s > front_ptr is always true
at this point in the code, and the intent is clearly for the
subtraction to be the other way round. The other arguments to the
memmove call here also appear to be wrong; w and s point just *after*
the destination and source for copying the rest of the number, so the
size needs to be subtracted to get appropriate pointers for the
copying. Adjust the memmove call to conform to the apparent intent of
the code, so fixing the -Wstringop-overflow error.
Now, if the original code were ever executed, a buffer overrun would
result. However, I believe this code (introduced in commit
edc1686af0, "vfprintf: Reuse work_buffer
in group_number", so in glibc 2.26) is unreachable in prior glibc
releases (so there is no need for a bug in Bugzilla, no need to
consider any backports unless someone wants to build older glibc
releases with GCC 12 and no possibility of this buffer overrun
resulting in a security issue).
work_buffer is 1000 bytes / 250 wide characters. This case is only
reachable if an initial part of the number, plus a grouped copy of the
rest of the number, fail to fit in that space; that is, if the grouped
number fails to fit in the space. In the wide character case,
grouping is always one wide character, so even with a locale (of which
there aren't any in glibc) grouping every digit, a number would need
to occupy at least 125 wide characters to overflow, and a 64-bit
integer occupies at most 23 characters in octal including a leading 0.
In the narrow character case, the multibyte encoding of the grouping
separator would need to be at least 42 bytes to overflow, again
supposing grouping every digit, but MB_LEN_MAX is 16. So even if we
admit the case of artificially constructed locales not shipped with
glibc, given that such a locale would need to use one of the character
sets supported by glibc, this code cannot be reached at present. (And
POSIX only actually specifies the ' flag for grouping for decimal
output, though glibc acts on it for other bases as well.)
With binary output (if you consider use of grouping there to be
valid), you'd need a 15-byte multibyte character for overflow; I don't
know if any supported character set has such a character (if, again,
we admit constructed locales using grouping every digit and a grouping
separator chosen to have a multibyte encoding as long as possible, as
well as accepting use of grouping with binary), but given that we have
this code at all (clearly it's not *correct*, or in accordance with
the principle of avoiding arbitrary limits, to skip grouping on
running out of internal space like that), I don't think it should need
any further changes for binary printf support to go in.
On the other hand, support for large sizes of _BitInt in printf (see
the N2858 proposal) *would* require something to be done about such
arbitrary limits (presumably using dynamic allocation in printf again,
for sufficiently large _BitInt arguments only - currently only
floating-point uses dynamic allocation, and, as previously discussed,
that could actually be replaced by bounded allocation given smarter
code).
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for aarch64-linux-gnu (GCC mainline).
Also tested natively for x86_64.
Instead of checking a pointer argument for NULL, use helper macros
defined differently in the non-positional and positional cases.
This avoids frequent conditional checks and a GCC 12 warning
about comparing pointers against NULL which cannot be NULL.
A lot of the code is unique to the positional and non-positional
code. Also unify the decimal and hexadecimal cases via the new
helper function __printf_fp_spec.

The vfprintf implementation (used for all printf-family functions)
contains complicated logic to allocate internal buffers of a size
depending on the width and precision used for a format, using either
malloc or alloca depending on that size, and with consequent checks
for size overflow and allocation failure.
As noted in bug 26211, the version of that logic used when '$' plus
argument number formats are in use is missing the overflow checks,
which can result in segfaults (quite possibly exploitable, I didn't
try to work that out) when the width or precision is in the range
0x7fffffe0 through 0x7fffffff (maybe smaller values as well in the
wprintf case on 32-bit systems, when the multiplication by sizeof
(CHAR_T) can overflow).
All that complicated logic in fact appears to be useless. As far as I
can tell, there has been no need (outside the floating-point printf
code, which does its own allocations) for allocations depending on
width or precision since commit
3e95f6602b ("Remove limitation on size
of precision for integers", Sun Sep 12 21:23:32 1999 +0000). Thus,
this patch removes that logic completely, thereby fixing both problems
with excessive allocations for large width and precision for
non-floating-point formats, and the problem with missing overflow
checks with such allocations. Note that this does have the
consequence that width and precision up to INT_MAX are now allowed
where previously INT_MAX / sizeof (CHAR_T) - EXTSIZ or more would have
been rejected, so could potentially expose any other overflows where
the value would previously have been rejected by those removed checks.
I believe this completely fixes bugs 14231 and 26211.
Excessive allocations are still possible in the floating-point case
(bug 21127), as are other integer or buffer overflows (see bug 26201).
This does not address the cases where a precision larger than INT_MAX
(embedded in the format string) would be meaningful without printf's
return value overflowing (when it's used with a string format, or %g
without the '#' flag, so the actual output will be much smaller), as
mentioned in bug 17829 comment 8; using size_t internally for
precision to handle that case would be complicated by struct
printf_info being a public ABI. Nor does it address the matter of an
INT_MIN width being negated (bug 17829 comment 7; the same logic
appears a second time in the file as well, in the form of multiplying
by -1). There may be other sources of memory allocations with malloc
in printf functions as well (bug 24988, bug 16060). From inspection,
I think there are also integer overflows in two copies of "if ((width
-= len) < 0)" logic (where width is int, len is size_t and a very long
string could result in spurious padding being output on a 32-bit
system before printf overflows the count of output characters).
Tested for x86-64 and x86.
This is an updated version of a previous patch [1] with the
following changes:
- Use compiler overflow builtins on done_add_func function.
- Define the scratch +utstring_converted_wide_string using
CHAR_T.
- Added a testcase and mention the bug report.
Both default and wide printf functions might leak memory when
manipulate multibyte characters conversion depending of the size
of the input (whether __libc_use_alloca trigger or not the fallback
heap allocation).
This patch fixes it by removing the extra memory allocation on
string formatting with conversion parts.
The testcase uses input argument size that trigger memory leaks
on unpatched code (using a scratch buffer the threashold to use
heap allocation is lower).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

On powerpc64le, long double can currently take two formats: the same as
double (-mlong-double-64) or IBM Extended Precision (default with
-mlong-double-128 or explicitly with -mabi=ibmlongdouble). The internal
implementation of printf-like functions is aware of these possibilities
and properly parses floating-point values from the variable arguments,
before making calls to __printf_fp and __printf_fphex. These functions
are also aware of the format possibilities and know how to convert both
formats to string.
When library support for TS 18661-3 was added to glibc, __printf_fp and
__printf_fphex were extended with support for an additional type
(__float128/_Float128) with a different format (binary128). Now that
powerpc64le is getting support for its third long double format, and
taking into account that this format is the same as the format of
__float128/_Float128, this patch extends __vfprintf_internal to properly
call __printf_fp and __printf_fphex with this new format.
Tested for powerpc64le (with additional patches to actually enable the
use of these preparations) and for x86_64.

After all that prep work, nldbl-compat.c can now use PRINTF_LDBL_IS_DBL
instead of __no_long_double to control the behavior of printf-like
functions; this is the last thing we needed __no_long_double for, so it
can go away entirely.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
The _chk variants of all of the printf functions become much simpler.
This is the last thing that we needed _IO_acquire_lock_clear_flags2
for, so it can go as well. I took the opportunity to make the headers
included and the names of all local variables consistent across all the
affected files.
Since we ultimately want to get rid of __no_long_double as well, it
must be possible to get all of the nontrivial effects of the _chk
functions by calling the _internal functions with appropriate flags.
For most of the __(v)xprintf_chk functions, this is covered by
PRINTF_FORTIFY plus some up-front argument checks that can be
duplicated. However, __(v)sprintf_chk installs a custom jump table so
that it can crash instead of overflowing the output buffer. This
functionality is moved to __vsprintf_internal, which now has a
'maxlen' argument like __vsnprintf_internal; to get the unsafe
behavior of ordinary (v)sprintf, pass -1 for that argument.
obstack_printf_chk and obstack_vprintf_chk are no longer in the same
file.
As a side-effect of the unification of both fortified and non-fortified
vdprintf initialization, this patch fixes bug 11319 for __dprintf_chk
and __vdprintf_chk, which was previously fixed only for dprintf and
vdprintf by the commit

Fix reporting of I/O errors in *dprintf functions.
This patch adds a test case to avoid regressions.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
There are a lot more printf variants than there are scanf variants,
and the code for setting up and tearing down their custom FILE
variants around the call to __vf(w)printf is more complicated and
variable. Therefore, I have added _internal versions of all the
v*printf variants, rather than introducing helper routines so that
they can all directly call __vf(w)printf_internal, as was done with
scanf.
As with the scanf changes, in this patch the _internal functions still
look at the environmental mode bits and all callers pass 0 for the
flags parameter.
Several of the affected public functions had _IO_ name aliases that
were not exported (but, in one case, appeared in libio.h anyway);
I was originally planning to leave them as aliases to avoid having
to touch internal callers, but it turns out ldbl_*_alias only work
for exported symbols, so they've all been removed instead. It also
turns out there were hardly any internal callers. _IO_vsprintf and
_IO_vfprintf *are* exported, so those two stick around.
Summary for the changes to each of the affected symbols:
_IO_vfprintf, _IO_vsprintf:
All internal calls removed, thus the internal declarations, as well
as uses of libc_hidden_proto and libc_hidden_def, were also removed.
The external symbol is now exposed via uses of ldbl_strong_alias
to __vfprintf_internal and __vsprintf_internal, respectively.
_IO_vasprintf, _IO_vdprintf, _IO_vsnprintf,
_IO_vfwprintf, _IO_vswprintf,
_IO_obstack_vprintf, _IO_obstack_printf:
All internal calls removed, thus declaration in internal headers
were also removed. They were never exported, so there are no
aliases tying them to the internal functions. I.e.: entirely gone.
__vsnprintf:
Internal calls were always preceded by macros such as
#define __vsnprintf _IO_vsnprintf, and
#define __vsnprintf vsnprintf
The macros were removed and their uses replaced with calls to the
new internal function __vsnprintf_internal. Since there were no
internal calls, the internal declaration was also removed. The
external symbol is preserved with ldbl_weak_alias to ___vsnprintf.
__vfwprintf:
All internal calls converted into calls to __vfwprintf_internal,
thus the internal declaration was removed. The function is now a
wrapper that calls __vfwprintf_internal. The external symbol is
preserved.
__vswprintf:
Similarly, but no external symbol.
__vasprintf, __vdprintf, __vfprintf, __vsprintf:
New internal wrappers. Not exported.
vasprintf, vdprintf, vfprintf, vsprintf, vsnprintf,
vfwprintf, vswprintf,
obstack_vprintf, obstack_printf:
These functions used to be aliases to the respective _IO_* function,
they are now aliases to their respective __* functions.
Tested for powerpc and powerpc64le.
