Always do TLS descriptor initialization at load time during relocation processing to avoid barriers at every TLS access. In non-dlopened shared libraries the overhead of tls access vs static global access is > 3x bigger when lazy initialization is used (_dl_tlsdesc_return_lazy) compared to bind-now (_dl_tlsdesc_return) so the barriers dominate tls access performance. TLSDESC relocs are in DT_JMPREL which are processed at load time using elf_machine_lazy_rel which is only supposed to do lightweight initialization using the DT_TLSDESC_PLT trampoline (the trampoline code jumps to the entry point in DT_TLSDESC_GOT which does the lazy tlsdesc initialization at runtime). This patch changes elf_machine_lazy_rel in aarch64 to do the symbol binding and initialization as if DF_BIND_NOW was set, so the non-lazy code path of elf/do-rel.h was replicated. The static linker could be changed to emit TLSDESC relocs in DT_REL*, which are processed non-lazily, but the goal of this patch is to always guarantee bind-now semantics, even if the binary was produced with an old linker, so the barriers can be dropped in tls descriptor functions. After this change the synchronizing ldar instructions can be dropped as well as the lazy initialization machinery including the DT_TLSDESC_GOT setup. I believe this should be done on all targets, including ones where no barrier is needed for lazy initialization. There is very little gain in optimizing for large number of symbolic tlsdesc relocations which is an extremely uncommon case. And currently the tlsdesc entries are only readonly protected with -z now and some hardennings against writable JUMPSLOT relocs don't work for TLSDESC so they are a security hazard. (But to fix that the static linker has to be changed.) * sysdeps/aarch64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_lazy_rel): Do symbol binding and initialization non-lazily for R_AARCH64_TLSDESC. |
