The clone3 flag resets all signal handlers of the child not set to
SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL. It allows to skip most of the sigaction calls
to setup child signal handling, where previously a posix_spawn
had to issue 2 times NSIG sigaction calls (one to obtain the current
disposition and another to set either SIG_DFL or SIG_IGN).
With POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF the child will setup the signal for the case
where the disposition is SIG_IGN.
The code must handle the fallback where clone3 is not available. This is
done by splitting __clone_internal_fallback from __clone_internal.

The main drive is to optimize the internal usage and required size
when sigset_t is embedded in other data structures. On Linux, the
current supported signal set requires up to 8 bytes (16 on mips),
was lower than the user defined sigset_t (128 bytes).
A new internal type internal_sigset_t is added, along with the
functions to operate on it similar to the ones for sigset_t. The
internal-signals.h is also refactored to remove unused functions
Besides small stack usage on some functions (posix_spawn, abort)

Currently there is no proper way to set the controlling terminal through
posix_spawn in race free manner [1]. This forces shell implementations
to keep using fork+exec when launching background process groups,
even when using posix_spawn yields better performance.
This patch adds a new GNU extension so the creating process can
configure the created process terminal group. This is done with a new
flag, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP, along with two new attribute functions:
posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np, and posix_spawnattr_tcgetpgrp_np.
The function sets a new attribute, spawn-tcgroupfd, that references to
the controlling terminal.
The controlling terminal is set after the spawn-pgroup attribute, and
uses the spawn-tcgroupfd along with current creating process group
(so it is composable with POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP).
To create a process and set the controlling terminal, one can use the
following sequence:
posix_spawnattr_t attr;
posix_spawnattr_init (&attr);
posix_spawnattr_setflags (&attr, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP);
posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np (&attr, tcfd);
If the idea is also to create a new process groups:
posix_spawnattr_t attr;
posix_spawnattr_init (&attr);
posix_spawnattr_setflags (&attr, POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP
| POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP);
posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np (&attr, tcfd);
posix_spawnattr_setpgroup (&attr, 0);
The controlling terminal file descriptor is ignored if the new flag is
not set.
This interface is slight different than the one provided by QNX [2],
which only provides the POSIX_SPAWN_TCSETPGROUP flag. The QNX
documentation does not specify how the controlling terminal is obtained
nor how it iteracts with POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP. Since a glibc
implementation is library based, it is more straightforward and avoid
requires additional file descriptor operations to request the caller
to setup the controlling terminal file descriptor (and it also allows
a bit less error handling by posix_spawn).

The clone3 system call (since Linux 5.3) provides a superset of the
functionality of clone and clone2. It also provides a number of API
improvements, including the ability to specify the size of the child's
stack area which can be used by kernel to compute the shadow stack size
when allocating the shadow stack. Add:
extern int __clone_internal (struct clone_args *__cl_args,
int (*__func) (void *__arg), void *__arg);
to provide an abstract interface for clone, clone2 and clone3.
1. Simplify stack management for thread creation by passing both stack
base and size to create_thread.
2. Consolidate clone vs clone2 differences into a single file.
3. Call __clone3 if HAVE_CLONE3_WAPPER is defined. If __clone3 returns
-1 with ENOSYS, fall back to clone or clone2.
4. Use only __clone_internal to clone a thread. Since the stack size
argument for create_thread is now unconditional, always pass stack size
to create_thread.
5. Enable the public clone3 wrapper in the future after it has been
added to all targets.

Linux sandbox: return ENOSYS for clone3
Because clone3 uses a pointer argument rather than a flags argument, we
cannot examine the contents with seccomp, which is essential to
preventing sandboxed processes from starting other processes. So, we
won't be able to support clone3 in Chromium. This CL modifies the
BPF policy to return ENOSYS for clone3 so glibc always uses the fallback
to clone.

This patch adds a way to close a range of file descriptors on
posix_spawn as a new file action. The API is similar to the one
provided by Solaris 11 [1], where the file action causes the all open
file descriptors greater than or equal to input on to be closed when
the new process is spawned.
The function posix_spawn_file_actions_addclosefrom_np is safe to be
implemented by iterating over /proc/self/fd, since the Linux spawni.c
helper process does not use CLONE_FILES, so its has own file descriptor
table and any failure (in /proc operation) aborts the process creation
and returns an error to the caller.
I am aware that this file action might be redundant to the current
approach of POSIX in promoting O_CLOEXEC in more interfaces. However
O_CLOEXEC is still not the default and for some specific usages, the
caller needs to close all possible file descriptors to avoid them
leaking. Some examples are CPython (discussed in BZ#10353) and OpenJDK
jspawnhelper [2] (where OpenJDK spawns a helper process to exactly
closes all file descriptors). Most likely any environment which calls
functions that might open file descriptor under the hood and aim to use
posix_spawn might face the same requirement.

Austin Group issue #411 [1] proposes that posix_spawn file action
posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2 resets the close-on-exec when
source and destination refer to same file descriptor.
It solves the issue on multi-thread applications which uses
close-on-exec as default, and want to hand-chose specifically
file descriptor to purposefully inherited into a child process.
Current approach to achieve this scenario is to use two adddup2 file
actions and a temporary file description which do not conflict with
any other, coupled with a close file action to avoid leaking the
temporary file descriptor. This approach, besides being complex,
may fail with EMFILE/ENFILE file descriptor exaustion.
This can be more easily accomplished with an in-place removal of
FD_CLOEXEC. Although the resulting adddup2 semantic is slight
different than dup2 (equal file descriptors should be handled as
no-op), the proposed possible solution are either more complex
(fcntl action which a limited set of operations) or results in
unrequired operations (dup3 which also returns EINVAL for same
file descriptor).

If glibc is built with gcc 8 and -march=z900,
the testcase posix/tst-spawn4-compat crashes with a segfault.
In function maybe_script_execute, the new_argv array is dynamically
initialized on stack with (argc + 1) elements.
The function wants to add _PATH_BSHELL as the first argument

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (maybe_script_execute):

Current posix_spawnp implementation wrongly tries to execute invalid
binaries (for instance script without shebang) as a shell script in
non compat mode. It was a regression introduced by
9ff72da471 when __spawni started to use
__execvpe instead of __execve (glibc __execvpe try to execute ENOEXEC
as shell script regardless).
This patch fixes it by using an internal symbol (__execvpex) with the
faulty semantic (since compat mode is handled by spawni.c itself).

As shown in some buildbot issues on aarch64 and powerpc, calling
clone (VFORK) and waitpid (WNOHANG) does not guarantee the child
is ready to be collected. This patch changes the call back to 0
as before fe05e1cb6d fix.
This change can lead to the scenario 4.3 described in the commit,
where the waitpid call can hang undefinitely on the call. However
this is also a very unlikely and also undefinied situation where
both the caller is trying to terminate a pid before posix_spawn
returns and the race pid reuse is triggered. I don't see how to
correct handle this specific situation within posix_spawn.

powerpc64-linux-gnu.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawnix): Use 0 instead of
WNOHANG in waitpid call.
As noted by Florian Weimer, current Linux posix_spawn implementation
can trigger an assert if the auxiliary process is terminated before
actually setting the err member:
340 /* Child must set args.err to something non-negative - we rely on
341 the parent and child sharing VM. */
342 args.err = -1;
[...]
362 new_pid = CLONE (__spawni_child, STACK (stack, stack_size), stack_size,
363 CLONE_VM | CLONE_VFORK | SIGCHLD, &args);
364
365 if (new_pid > 0)
366 {
367 ec = args.err;
368 assert (ec >= 0);
Another possible issue is killing the child between setting the err and
actually calling execve. In this case the process will not ran, but
posix_spawn also will not report any error:
269
270 args->err = 0;
271 args->exec (args->file, args->argv, args->envp);
As suggested by Andreas Schwab, this patch removes the faulty assert
and also handles any signal that happens before fork and execve as the
spawn was successful (and thus relaying the handling to the caller to
figure this out). Different than Florian, I can not see why using
atomics to set err would help here, essentially the code runs
sequentially (due CLONE_VFORK) and I think it would not be legal the
compiler evaluate ec without checking for new_pid result (thus there
is no need to compiler barrier).
Summarizing the possible scenarios on posix_spawn execution, we
have:
1. For default case with a success execution, args.err will be 0, pid
will not be collected and it will be reported to caller.
2. For default failure case, args.err will be positive and the it will
be collected by the waitpid. An error will be reported to the
caller.
3. For the unlikely case where the process was terminated and not
collected by a caller signal handler, it will be reported as succeful
execution and not be collected by posix_spawn (since args.err will
be 0). The caller will need to actually handle this case.
4. For the unlikely case where the process was terminated and collected
by caller we have 3 other possible scenarios:
4.1. The auxiliary process was terminated with args.err equal to 0:
it will handled as 1. (so it does not matter if we hit the pid
reuse race since we won't possible collect an unexpected
process).
4.2. The auxiliary process was terminated after execve (due a failure
in calling it) and before setting args.err to -1: it will also
be handle as 1. but with the issue of not be able to report the
caller a possible execve failures.
4.3. The auxiliary process was terminated after args.err is set to -1:
this is the case where it will be possible to hit the pid reuse
case where we will need to collected the auxiliary pid but we
can not be sure if it will be expected one. I think for this
case we need to actually change waitpid to use WNOHANG to avoid
hanging indefinitely on the call and report an error to caller
since we can't differentiate between a default failure as 2.
and a possible pid reuse race issue.

When glibc is built with -fstack-check, trying to use posix_spawn can
lead to segfaults due to gcc internally probing stack memory too far.
The new spawn API will allocate a minimum of 1 page, but the stack
checking logic might probe a couple of pages. When it tries to walk
them, everything falls apart.
The gcc internal docs [1] state the default interval checking is one
page. Which means we need two pages (the current one, and the next
probed). No target currently defines it larger.
Further, it mentions that the default minimum stack size needed to
recover from an overflow is 4/8KiB for sjlj or 8/12KiB for others.
But some Linux targets (like mips and ppc) go up to 16KiB (and some
non-Linux targets go up to 24KiB).
Let's create each child with a minimum of 32KiB slack space to support
them all, and give us future breathing room.
No test is added as existing ones crash. Even a simple call is
enough to trigger the problem:
char *argv[] = { "/bin/ls", NULL };
posix_spawn(NULL, "/bin/ls", NULL, NULL, argv, NULL);
[1] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-6.3.0/gccint/Stack-Checking.html
The ia64-specific clone2 call expects the base of the stack mapping and
the stack size as sep arguments, not an initial stack value as on other
stack-grows-down architectures. Reuse the stack-grows-up macro so we
pass in the right stack base.

posix/wordexp-test.c used libc-internal.h for PTR_ALIGN_DOWN; similar
to what was done with libc-diag.h, I have split the definitions of

to a new header, libc-pointer-arith.h.
It then occurred to me that the remaining declarations in libc-internal.h
are mostly to do with early initialization, and probably most of the
files including it, even in the core code, don't need it anymore. Indeed,
only 19 files actually need what remains of libc-internal.h. 23 others

Using CLONE_VFORK already ensures that the parent does not run until the
child has either exec'ed succesfully or called _exit. Hence we don't
need to read from a CLOEXEC pipe to ensure proper synchronization - we
just make explicit use of the fact the the child and parent run in the
same VM, so the child can write an error code to a field of the
posix_spawn_args struct instead of sending it through a pipe.
To ensure that this mechanism really works, the parent initializes the
field to -1 and the child writes 0 before execing.
This eliminates some annoying bookkeeping that is necessary to avoid
the file actions from clobbering the write end of the pipe, and
getting rid of the pipe creation in the first place means fewer system
calls (four in the parent, usually one in the child) and fewer
chanches for the spawn to fail (e.g. if we're close to EMFILE).
Checked on x86_64 and i686.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (posix_spawn_args): Remove pipe
field, add err field.
(__spawni_child): Report error through err member instead of pipe.
(__spawnix): Likewise.
This patch correctly block and unblocks all signals when executing
Linux posix_spawn by using the __libc_signal_{un}block_all functions
instead of default sigprocmask. The latter might remove both
SIGCANCEL and SIGSETXID from the blocked signal list.
Checked on x86_64, i686, powerpc64le, and aarch64.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawnix): Correctly block and unblock
all signals when executing the clone vfork child.
(SIGALL_SET): Remove macro.
This patch correctly enable and disable asynchronous cancellation on
Linux posix_spawn. Current code invert the logic by enabling and
disabling instead. It also adds a new test to check if posix_spawn
is not a cancellation entrypoint.
Checked on x86_64, i686, powerpc64le, and aarch64.
* nptl/Makefile (tests): Add tst-exec5.
* nptl/tst-exec5.c: New file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawni): Correctly enable and disable
asynchronous cancellation.
This patch call _exit instead of exit in failure case for the spawned
child in Linux posix_spawn{p} implementation.
Tested on x86_64.
[BZ #20178]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawni_child): Call _exit
on failure instead of exit.
This patch fixes the implicit check style add in 2a69f853c for the
general convention one.
Checked on x86_64.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawnix): Fix implict checks
style.
Current Linux posix_spawn spawn do not test if the pid argument is
valid before trying to update it for success case. This patch fixes
it.
Tested on x86_64 and i686.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (__spawnix): Fix invalid memory
access where posix_spawn success and pid argument is null.
* posix/tst-spawn.c (do_test): Add posix_spawn null pid argument for
success case.
This patch implements a new posix_spawn{p} implementation for Linux. The main
difference is it uses the clone syscall directly with CLONE_VM and CLONE_VFORK
flags and a direct allocated stack. The new stack and start function solves
most the vfork limitation (possible parent clobber due stack spilling). The
remaning issue are related to signal handling:
1. That no signal handlers must run in child context, to avoid corrupt
parent's state.
2. Child must synchronize with parent to enforce stack deallocation and
to possible return execv issues.
The first one is solved by blocking all signals in child, even NPTL-internal
ones (SIGCANCEL and SIGSETXID). The second issue is done by a stack allocation
in parent and a synchronization with using a pipe or waitpid (in case or error).
The pipe has the advantage of allowing the child signal an exec error (checked
with new tst-spawn2 test).
There is an inherent race condition in pipe2 usage for architectures that do not
support the syscall directly. In such cases the a pipe plus fctnl is used
instead and it may lead to file descriptor leak in parent (as decribed by fcntl
documentation).
The child process stack is allocate with a mmap with MAP_STACK flag using
default architecture stack size. Although it is slower than use a stack buffer
from parent, it allows some slack for the compatibility code to run scripts
with no shebang (which may use a buffer with size depending of argument list
count).
Performance should be similar to the vfork default posix implementation and
way faster than fork path (vfork on mostly linux ports are basically
clone with CLONE_VM plus CLONE_VFORK). The only difference is the syscalls
required for the stack allocation/deallocation.
It fixes BZ#10354, BZ#14750, and BZ#18433.
Tested on i386, x86_64, powerpc64le, and aarch64.
