It is no longer needed since commit 6c444ad6e9
(elf: Do not use memalign for TCB/TLS blocks allocation [BZ #17730]).
Applications do not link against ld.so and will use the definition in
libc.so, so there is no ABI impact.
This change moves the main implementation of _dl_catch_error,
_dl_signal_error to libc.so, where TLS variables can be used
directly. This removes a writable function pointer from the
rtld_global variable.
For use during initial relocation, minimal implementations of these
functions are provided in ld.so. These are eventually interposed
by the libc.so implementations. This is implemented by compiling
elf/dl-error-skeleton.c twice, via elf/dl-error.c and
elf/dl-error-minimal.c.
As a side effect of this change, the static version of dl-error.c
no longer includes support for the
_dl_signal_cerror/_dl_receive_error mechanism because it is only
used in ld.so.
Linker in binutils 2.26 and newer generate GOT references instead
PLT references when -z now is passed to linker. We need to extend
scripts/localplt.awk to allow PLT or GOT references.
[BZ #19007]
* scripts/localplt.awk: Also allow GOT references.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/localplt.data: Mark
_Unwind_Find_FDE, calloc, memalign, realloc and __libc_memalign
with "+ REL R_386_GLOB_DAT".
* sysdeps/x86_64/localplt.data: Mark calloc, memalign, realloc
and __libc_memalign with "+ RELA R_X86_64_GLOB_DAT".
On x86, linker in binutils 2.26 and newer consolidates R_*_JUMP_SLOT with
R_*_GLOB_DAT relocation against the same symbol. This patch extends
local PLT reference check to support alternate relocations.
[BZ #18078]
* scripts/check-localplt.awk: Support alternate relocations.
* scripts/localplt.awk: Also check relocations in DT_RELA/DT_REL
sections.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/localplt.data: Mark free and
malloc entries with + REL R_386_GLOB_DAT.
* sysdeps/x86_64/localplt.data: New file.
__tls_get_addr/___tls_get_addr is always defined in ld.so. There is
no need to call them via PLT inside ld.so. This patch adds the hidden
__tls_get_addr/___tls_get_addr aliases and calls them directly from
_dl_tlsdesc_dynamic. There is no need to set up the EBX register in
i386 _dl_tlsdesc_dynamic when calling the hidden ___tls_get_addr.
* elf/dl-tls.c (__tls_get_addr): Provide the hidden definition
if not defined.
* sysdeps/i386/dl-tls.h (___tls_get_addr): Provide the hidden
definition.
* sysdeps/i386/dl-tlsdesc.S (_dl_tlsdesc_dynamic): Call the
hidden ___tls_get_addr.
* sysdeps/x86_64/dl-tlsdesc.S (_dl_tlsdesc_dynamic): Call the
hidden __tls_get_addr.
* sysdeps/generic/localplt.data (__tls_get_addr): Removed.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/localplt.data (___tls_get_addr):
Likewise.
For maximum paranoia we run ld.so through the normal set
of tests for all of the shared libraries. This includes
running ld.so through check-localplt, check-textrel, and
check-execstack. While none of these should trigger any
failures given the way ld.so is built, it might possibly
fail if a developer does something wrong. This paranoia
was triggered by a discussion over the use of __strcpy
vs. strcpy [1] and if the symbol could leak and use the
libc.so version.
The check-localplt test fails right away because localplt.data
needs updating for all arches. By default we add 6 new symbols:
__tls_get_addr, __libc_memalign, malloc, calloc, realloc and
free. Other machines like i386, power, and s390 require some
different symbol sets e.g. ___tls_get_addr vs. __tls_get_addr
for i386.
