2014-04-30More fixes for unsafe compiler optimizationAdhemerval Zanella
GCC 4.9 -ftree-loop-distribute-patterns now may transform loops in memcpy. Add the alias to internal GLIBC symbol to avoid PLT creation.
2014-04-30Fix lll_unlock twice in pthread_cond_broadcastYang Yingliang
lll_unlock() will be called again if it goes to "wake_all" in pthread_cond_broadcast(). This may make another thread which is waiting for lock in pthread_cond_timedwait() unlock. So there are more than one threads get the lock, it will break the shared data. It's introduced by commit 8313cb997d2d("FUTEX_*_REQUEUE_PI support for non-x86 code")
2014-04-30Initialize all of datahead structure in nscd (BZ #16791)Siddhesh Poyarekar
The datahead structure has an unused padding field that remains uninitialized. Valgrind prints out a warning for it on querying a netgroups entry. This is harmless, but is a potential data leak since it would result in writing out an uninitialized byte to the cache file. Besides, this happens only when there is a cache miss, so we're not adding computation to any fast path.
2014-04-30Consolidate code to initialize nscd dataset headerSiddhesh Poyarekar
This patch consolidates the code to initialize the header of a dataset into a single set of functions (one for positive and another for negative datasets) primarily to reduce repetition of code. The secondary reason is to simplify Patch 2/2 which fixes the problem of an uninitialized byte in the header by initializing an unused field in the structure and hence preventing a possible data leak into the cache file.
2014-04-30Do not fail if one of the two responses to AF_UNSPEC fails (BZ #14308)Siddhesh Poyarekar
[Fixes BZ #14308, #12994, #13651] AF_UNSPEC results in sending two queries in parallel, one for the A record and the other for the AAAA record. If one of these is a referral, then the query fails, which is wrong. It should return at least the one successful response. The fix has two parts. The first part makes the referral fall back to the SERVFAIL path, which results in using the successful response. There is a bug in that path however, due to which the second part is necessary. The bug here is that if the first response is a failure and the second succeeds, __libc_res_nsearch does not detect that and assumes a failure. The case where the first response is a success and the second fails, works correctly. This condition is produced by buggy routers, so here's a crude interposable library that can simulate such a condition. The library overrides the recvfrom syscall and modifies the header of the packet received to reproduce this scenario. It has two key variables: mod_packet and first_error. The mod_packet variable when set to 0, results in odd packets being modified to be a referral. When set to 1, even packets are modified to be a referral. The first_error causes the first response to be a failure so that a domain-appended search is performed to test the second part of the __libc_nsearch fix. The driver for this fix is a simple getaddrinfo program that does an AF_UNSPEC query. I have omitted this since it should be easy to implement. I have tested this on x86_64. The interceptor library source: /* Override recvfrom and modify the header of the first DNS response to make it a referral and reproduce bz #845218. We have to resort to this ugly hack because we cannot make bind return the buggy response of a referral for the AAAA record and an authoritative response for the A record. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdbool.h> #include <endian.h> #include <dlfcn.h> #include <stdlib.h> /* Lifted from resolv/arpa/nameser_compat.h. */ typedef struct { unsigned id :16; /*%< query identification number */ #if BYTE_ORDER == BIG_ENDIAN /* fields in third byte */ unsigned qr: 1; /*%< response flag */ unsigned opcode: 4; /*%< purpose of message */ unsigned aa: 1; /*%< authoritive answer */ unsigned tc: 1; /*%< truncated message */ unsigned rd: 1; /*%< recursion desired */ /* fields * in * fourth * byte * */ unsigned ra: 1; /*%< recursion available */ unsigned unused :1; /*%< unused bits (MBZ as of 4.9.3a3) */ unsigned ad: 1; /*%< authentic data from named */ unsigned cd: 1; /*%< checking disabled by resolver */ unsigned rcode :4; /*%< response code */ #endif #if BYTE_ORDER == LITTLE_ENDIAN || BYTE_ORDER == PDP_ENDIAN /* fields * in * third * byte * */ unsigned rd :1; /*%< recursion desired */ unsigned tc :1; /*%< truncated message */ unsigned aa :1; /*%< authoritive answer */ unsigned opcode :4; /*%< purpose of message */ unsigned qr :1; /*%< response flag */ /* fields * in * fourth * byte * */ unsigned rcode :4; /*%< response code */ unsigned cd: 1; /*%< checking disabled by resolver */ unsigned ad: 1; /*%< authentic data from named */ unsigned unused :1; /*%< unused bits (MBZ as of 4.9.3a3) */ unsigned ra :1; /*%< recursion available */ #endif /* remaining * bytes * */ unsigned qdcount :16; /*%< number of question entries */ unsigned ancount :16; /*%< number of answer entries */ unsigned nscount :16; /*%< number of authority entries */ unsigned arcount :16; /*%< number of resource entries */ } HEADER; static int done = 0; /* Packets to modify. 0 for the odd packets and 1 for even packets. */ static const int mod_packet = 0; /* Set to true if the first request should result in an error, resulting in a search query. */ static bool first_error = true; static ssize_t (*real_recvfrom) (int sockfd, void *buf, size_t len, int flags, struct sockaddr *src_addr, socklen_t *addrlen); void __attribute__ ((constructor)) init (void) { real_recvfrom = dlsym (RTLD_NEXT, "recvfrom"); if (real_recvfrom == NULL) { printf ("Failed to get reference to recvfrom: %s\n", dlerror ()); printf ("Cannot simulate test\n"); abort (); } } /* Modify the second packet that we receive to set the header in a manner as to reproduce BZ #845218. */ static void mod_buf (HEADER *h, int port) { if (done % 2 == mod_packet || (first_error && done == 1)) { printf ("(Modifying header)"); if (first_error && done == 1) h->rcode = 3; else h->rcode = 0; /* NOERROR == 0. */ h->ancount = 0; h->aa = 0; h->ra = 0; h->arcount = 0; } done++; } ssize_t recvfrom (int sockfd, void *buf, size_t len, int flags, struct sockaddr *src_addr, socklen_t *addrlen) { ssize_t ret = real_recvfrom (sockfd, buf, len, flags, src_addr, addrlen); int port = htons (((struct sockaddr_in *) src_addr)->sin_port); struct in_addr addr = ((struct sockaddr_in *) src_addr)->sin_addr; const char *host = inet_ntoa (addr); printf ("\n*** From %s:%d: ", host, port); mod_buf (buf, port); printf ("returned %zd\n", ret); return ret; }

2014-04-17manual: Sort overview listing by manual order.Carlos O'Donell
In the glibc manual we have a "Roadmap to the manual" section at the end of the "Introduction" chapter. The introductory text says "Here is an overview of the contents of the remaining chapters of this manual.", but then proceeds to list chapters out of order and some chapter are never referenced. This commit reorders the overview to correctly match the manual order. See: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00823.html
2014-04-17PowerPC: Sync pthread_once with default implementationAdhemerval Zanella
This patch removes the arch specific powerpc implementation and instead uses the linux default one. Although the current powerpc implementation already constains the required memory barriers for correct initialization, the default implementation shows a better performance on newer chips.

2014-04-17manual/setjmp.texi: Clarify setcontext and signal handlers textWill Newton
Calling setcontext from a signal handler can be done safely so it is sufficient to note that it is not recommended. Also mention in setcontext documentation that the behaviour of setcontext when restoring a context created by a call to a signal handler is unspecified. 2014-04-17 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> * manual/setjmp.texi (System V contexts): Add note that calling setcontext on a context created by a call to a signal handler is undefined. Update text to note that setcontext from a signal handler is possible but not recommended.
2014-04-17stdlib/tst-setcontext.c: Check for clobbering of signal stackWill Newton
On aarch64 calling swapcontext clobbers the state of the signal stack (BZ #16629). Check that the address and size of the signal stack before and after the call to swapcontext remains the same. ChangeLog: 2014-04-17 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> [BZ #16629] * stdlib/tst-setcontext.c: Include signal.h. (main): Check that the signal stack before and after swapcontext is the same.
2014-04-17aarch64: Re-implement setcontext without rt_sigreturn syscallWill Newton
The current implementation of setcontext uses rt_sigreturn to restore the contents of registers. This contrasts with the way most other architectures implement setcontext: powerpc64, mips, tile: Call rt_sigreturn if context was created by a call to a signal handler, otherwise restore in user code. powerpc32: Call swapcontext system call and don't call sigreturn or rt_sigreturn. x86_64, sparc, hppa, sh, ia64, m68k, s390, arm: Only support restoring "synchronous" contexts, that is contexts created by getcontext, and restoring in user code and don't call sigreturn or rt_sigreturn. alpha: Call sigreturn (but not rt_sigreturn) in all cases to do the restore. The text of the setcontext manpage suggests that the requirement to be able to restore a signal handler created context has been dropped from SUSv2: If the context was obtained by a call to a signal handler, then old standard text says that "program execution continues with the program instruction following the instruction interrupted by the signal". However, this sentence was removed in SUSv2, and the present verdict is "the result is unspecified". Implementing setcontext by calling rt_sigreturn unconditionally causes problems when used with sigaltstack as in BZ #16629. On this basis it seems that aarch64 is broken and that new ports should only support restoring contexts created with getcontext and do not need to call rt_sigreturn at all. This patch re-implements the aarch64 setcontext function to restore the context in user code in a similar manner to x86_64 and other ports. ChangeLog: 2014-04-17 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> [BZ #16629] * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/setcontext.S (__setcontext): Re-implement to restore registers in user code and avoid rt_sigreturn system call.

2014-04-15benchtests: Link against objects in build directorySiddhesh Poyarekar
Using -lm and -lpthread results in the shared objects in the system being used to link against. This happened to work for libm because there haven't been any changes to the libm ABI recently that could break the existing benchmarks. This doesn't always work for the pthread benchmarks. The correct way to build against libraries in the build directory is to have the binaries explicitly depend on them so that $(+link) can pick them up.
2014-04-14Support _r_debug for static binaries.Carlos O'Donell
We initialize _r_debug for static binaries to allows debug agents to treat static binaries a little more like dyanmic ones. This simplifies the work a debug agent has to do to access TLS in a static binary via libthread_db. Tested on x86_64. See: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-04/msg00183.html [BZ #16831] * csu/libc-start.c (LIBC_START_MAIN) [!SHARED]: Call _dl_debug_initialize.
2014-04-14nscd: Make SELinux checks dynamic.Carlos O'Donell
The SELinux team has indicated to me that glibc's SELinux checks in nscd are not being carried out as they would expect the API to be used today. They would like to move away from static header defines for class and permissions and instead use dynamic checks at runtime that provide an answer which is dependent on the runtime status of SELinux i.e. more dynamic. The following patch is a minimal change that moves us forward in this direction. It does the following: * Stop checking for SELinux headers that define NSCD__SHMEMHOST. Check only for the presence or absence of the library. * Don't encode the specific SELinux permission constants into a table at build time, and instead use the symbolic name for the permission as expected. * Lookup the "What do we do if we don't know this permission?" policy and use that if we find SELinux's policy is older than the glibc policy e.g. we make a request for a permission that SELinux doesn't know about. * Lastly, translate the class and permission and then make the permission check. This is done every time we lookup a permission, and this is the expected way to use the API. SELinux will optimize this for us, and we expect the network latencies to hide these extra library calls. Tested on x86, x86-64, and via Fedora Rawhide since November 2013. See: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-04/msg00179.html
