This includes bindresvport and the NSS-related RPC functions. This will simplify the removal of the sunrpc functionality because these functions no longer have to be treated specially.
2020-07-08aarch64: add NEWS entry about branch protection supportSzabolcs Nagy
This is a new security feature that relies on architecture extensions and needs glibc to be built with a gcc configured with branch protection.
2020-07-08aarch64: redefine RETURN_ADDRESS to strip PACSzabolcs Nagy
RETURN_ADDRESS is used at several places in glibc to mean a valid code address of the call site, but with pac-ret it may contain a pointer authentication code (PAC), so its definition is adjusted. This is gcc PR target/94891: __builtin_return_address should not expose signed pointers to user code where it can cause ABI issues. In glibc RETURN_ADDRESS is only changed if it is built with pac-ret. There is no detection for the specific gcc issue because it is hard to test and the additional xpac does not cause problems.

2020-07-08aarch64: fix pac-ret support in _mcountSzabolcs Nagy
Currently gcc -pg -mbranch-protection=pac-ret passes signed return address to _mcount, so _mcount now has to always strip pac from the frompc since that's from user code that may be built with pac-ret. This is gcc PR target/94791: signed pointers should not escape and get passed across extern call boundaries, since that's an ABI break, but because existing gcc has this issue we work it around in glibc until that is resolved. This is compatible with a fixed gcc and it is a nop on systems without PAuth support. The bug was introduced in gcc-7 with -msign-return-address=non-leaf|all support which in gcc-9 got renamed to -mbranch-protection=pac-ret|pac-ret+leaf|standard. strip_pac uses inline asm instead of __builtin_aarch64_xpaclri since that is not a documented api and not available in all supported gccs.

2020-07-08aarch64: Add pac-ret support to assembly filesSzabolcs Nagy
Use return address signing in assembly files for functions that save LR when pac-ret is enabled in the compiler. The GNU property note for PAC-RET is not meaningful to the dynamic linker so it is not strictly required, but it may be used to track the security property of binaries. (The PAC-RET property is only set if BTI is set too because BTI implies working GNU property support.) Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
2020-07-08aarch64: configure check for pac-ret code generationSzabolcs Nagy
Return address signing requires unwinder support, which is present in libgcc since >=gcc-7, however due to bugs the support may be broken in <gcc-10 (and similarly there may be issues in custom unwinders), so pac-ret is not always safe to use. So in assembly code glibc should only use pac-ret if the compiler uses it too. Unfortunately there is no predefined feature macro for it set by the compiler so pac-ret is inferred from the code generation. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
2020-07-08aarch64: ensure objects are BTI compatibleSzabolcs Nagy
When glibc is built with branch protection (i.e. with a gcc configured with --enable-standard-branch-protection), all glibc binaries should be BTI compatible and marked as such. It is easy to link BTI incompatible objects by accident and this is silent currently which is usually not the expectation, so this is changed into a link error. (There is no linker flag for failing on BTI incompatible inputs so all warnings are turned into fatal errors outside the test system when building glibc with branch protection.) Unfortunately, outlined atomic functions are not BTI compatible in libgcc (PR libgcc/96001), so to build glibc with current gcc use 'CC=gcc -mno-outline-atomics', this should be fixed in libgcc soon and then glibc can be built and tested without such workarounds.

2020-07-08aarch64: enable BTI at runtimeSudakshina Das
Binaries can opt-in to using BTI via an ELF object file marking. The dynamic linker has to then mprotect the executable segments with PROT_BTI. In case of static linked executables or in case of the dynamic linker itself, PROT_BTI protection is done by the operating system. On AArch64 glibc uses PT_GNU_PROPERTY instead of PT_NOTE to check the properties of a binary because PT_NOTE can be unreliable with old linkers (old linkers just append the notes of input objects together and add them to the output without checking them for consistency which means multiple incompatible GNU property notes can be present in PT_NOTE). BTI property is handled in the loader even if glibc is not built with BTI support, so in theory user code can be BTI protected independently of glibc. In practice though user binaries are not marked with the BTI property if glibc has no support because the static linked libc objects (crt files, libc_nonshared.a) are unmarked. This patch relies on Linux userspace API that is not yet in a linux release but in v5.8-rc1 so scheduled to be in Linux 5.8.

2020-07-08aarch64: fix RTLD_START for BTISzabolcs Nagy
Tailcalls must use x16 or x17 for the indirect branch instruction to be compatible with code that uses BTI c at function entries. (Other forms of indirect branches can only land on BTI j.) Also added a BTI c at the ELF entry point of rtld, this is not strictly necessary since the kernel does not use indirect branch to get there, but it seems safest once building glibc itself with BTI is supported.

2020-07-08aarch64: fix swapcontext for BTISzabolcs Nagy
setcontext returns to the specified context via an indirect jump, so there should be a BTI j. In case of getcontext (and all other returns_twice functions) the compiler adds BTI j at the call site, but swapcontext is a normal c call that is currently not handled specially by the compiler. So we change swapcontext such that the saved context returns to a local address that has BTI j and then swapcontext returns to the caller via a normal RET. For this we save the original return address in the slot for x1 of the context because x1 need not be preserved by swapcontext but it is restored when the context saved by swapcontext is resumed. The alternative fix (which is done on x86) would make swapcontext special in the compiler so BTI j is emitted at call sites, on x86 there is an indirect_return attribute for this, on AArch64 we would have to use returns_twice. It was decided against because such fix may need user code updates: the attribute has to be added when swapcontext is called via a function pointer and it breaks always_inline functions with swapcontext.

2020-07-08aarch64: Add BTI support to assembly filesSudakshina Das
To enable building glibc with branch protection, assembly code needs BTI landing pads and ELF object file markings in the form of a GNU property note. The landing pads are unconditionally added to all functions that may be indirectly called. When the code segment is not mapped with PROT_BTI these instructions are nops. They are kept in the code when BTI is not supported so that the layout of performance critical code is unchanged across configurations. The GNU property notes are only added when there is support for BTI in the toolchain, because old binutils does not handle the notes right. (Does not know how to merge them nor to put them in PT_GNU_PROPERTY segment instead of PT_NOTE, and some versions of binutils emit warnings about the unknown GNU property. In such cases the produced libc binaries would not have valid ELF marking so BTI would not be enabled.) Note: functions using ENTRY or ENTRY_ALIGN now start with an additional BTI c, so alignment of the following code changes, but ENTRY_ALIGN_AND_PAD was fixed so there is no change to the existing code layout. Some string functions may need to be tuned for optimal performance after this commit.

Add generic code to handle PT_GNU_PROPERTY notes. Invalid content is ignored, _dl_process_pt_gnu_property is always called after PT_LOAD segments are mapped and it has no failure modes. Currently only one NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 note is handled, which contains target specific properties: the _dl_process_gnu_property hook is called for each property. The old _dl_process_pt_note and _rtld_process_pt_note differ in how the program header is read. The old _dl_process_pt_note is called before PT_LOAD segments are mapped and _rtld_process_pt_note is called after PT_LOAD segments are mapped. The old _rtld_process_pt_note is removed and _dl_process_pt_note is always called after PT_LOAD segments are mapped and now it has no failure modes.

2020-07-07Remove most vfprintf width/precision-dependent allocations (bug 14231, bug ↵Joseph Myers
26211). 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 3e95f6602b226e0de06aaff686dc47b282d7cc16 ("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.
